I still need to make alterations to the stand for it

looks great!

Thanks, hopefully will look better after I finish completely. The store is always out of black pieces to drill down- the brown ones you see are supposed to be temporary, so I might paint some black instead but it won't look as good as getting finished ones. Also I will be changing the stand's legs positions since the uneveness bothers me

That looks great. What tv did you get?

I just have a 43" Vizio for the bedroom. Nothing in the living room yet.

Nice

This one

I saved up a lot for it, neglected getting stuff on my wish list even if I perhaps needed it more

82 inch non OLED over a 65 inch OLED? I'd have made a different decision

For that price anyway

But still a pretty amazing set up

That is an amazing tv

The Crystal colour upscales standard HD really well

So for most of my gaming the quality of that was a decision

When I'm ready to buy a "good" tv for the living room I plan to check with a lot of AV folks

I'm here for all your content needs

"High quality audio visual systems" is the best way to describe my hobby

Although for gaming I'm less knowledgeable

I like Samsung but I got turned off by them a couple of years ago when I bought a tv labeled HDR which didn't actually do hdr

Yeah HDR was just the newest buzz word for a year or two

Ended up with lots of shitty manufacturers slapping it onto everything

It had "hdr +" which was some color "enhancing" bs

Took it back and got a Vizio that actually supported it.

This was on the every low end though.

I'm saving up for a house so my TV will just have to do for a few years

But I'm very much looking forward to having a space I can customise to my own specs

Renting is shit

I'm happy renting for now

It's amazing how quickly you get used to things. I've been renting for 18 months with my girlfriend and I already want a place of our own

Still, I'll just be happy if I can own a house by the time I'm 27

Yeah that is pretty good

Personally I like the idea of having someone else take care of maintenance and stuff like that

But eventually it might be nice to have a house

That's true

I'm fearful of buying a house. My dad bought a house, always struggled financially when something broke / needed to be fixed, didn't maintain it, finally finished paying it off then died a couple of years later. It was in such bad condition I couldn't find a buyer for it so I let the county sell it for taxes.

r/personalfinance is great for advice on buying a house and making sure you are financially able to afford the endeavour

but home ownership is definitely a major financial burden/investment that should only be taken when you are able to sustain it

I like that I can move whenever I want

a lot of people get into home ownership that aren't financially stable enough for it
