TCL has closed a lot of the gap on hardware, especially with their Mini LED panels. Brightness and contrast on the QM8 and QM9 are strong, and for very large sizes they offer value Sony does not touch anymore. The tradeoff is processing and motion, Sony still wins there. If this is mainly for movies and sports in a bright room, the TCLs make sense. If you care most about motion and upscaling, Sony still feels more polished.

If the two local quotes landed close, that usually means they are in the right range. The big price jump often comes from extras hidden in scope or brand markup, especially with metal.

Before picking, I would compare exact materials, gauge, underlayment, and warranty terms line by line.

I did that once using roofquotes.com just to check numbers and it helped me see which quote was inflated and which was just fair. That made the final choice feel a lot less risky.

Jumping from 58 to 65 already makes a noticeable difference at normal viewing distance. If glare matters, look at mid range LCDs with good matte coatings, Sony and TCL usually handle reflections better than cheap panels. Skip OLED for this use case since it costs more and glare can be worse in bright rooms. A solid 65 now makes sense and you can go big later when it becomes the main TV.

oHH, this is most painful ever, my condolences!

Yeah, I’ve seen that too, lots of mentions of health issues but nothing concrete. Whatever the details, he brought personality and entertainment to Tiger fandom. Wishing him well.

Four hours is tight for that transfer, especially with traffic. Heathrow to London City can take 60-90 minutes depending on when you land. Train involves the Tube to Bank then DLR, which is manageable but adds stress if trains are delayed. I'd book a car ahead of time rather than gambling on Uber availability when you land. I used Transfeero for a similar airport transfer, you can see the price upfront on their website when you enter your pickup and dropoff points, so no surprise costs. Driver tracked my flight and knew the fastest routes. Worth the peace of mind when you're racing a connection.

The internet really can’t process the idea that some people are just built like that. :lol: :lol:

Yeah, it’s wild. Every town’s got shiny new storage buildings even when nobody seems to need one. Guess people just buy too much and can’t part with it, so they ship it off to a metal box instead of admitting it’s clutter.

Not really surprising considering how many software updates and hardware changes the 787 has had. The important thing is that the FAA reacted quickly and there’s already a service bulletin from Boeing. That’s how bigger issues get avoided.

Yeah it basically kills the whole point of having a return game. You’re punishing a good kick the same way you punish a shanked one. Makes zero sense.

I also tried sermorelin a while back. For me it helped a bit with sleep and recovery, but the results weren't fast. Since you're already on TRT, you might feel the effects more clearly, but it still takes a few weeks. Nutrition matters a lot too, otherwise you won't notice much.
