I still need to make alterations to the stand for it

2019-04-26 18:20:14 UTC  

looks great!

2019-04-26 18:23:14 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:14:16 UTC  

That looks great. What tv did you get?

2019-04-26 19:15:46 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:17:19 UTC  

Nice

This one

2019-04-26 19:18:17 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:18:56 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:19:08 UTC  

For that price anyway

2019-04-26 19:19:43 UTC  

But still a pretty amazing set up

2019-04-26 19:19:57 UTC  

That is an amazing tv

2019-04-26 19:20:06 UTC  

The Crystal colour upscales standard HD really well

2019-04-26 19:20:55 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:21:10 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:21:51 UTC  

I'm here for all your content needs

2019-04-26 19:22:24 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:22:38 UTC  

Although for gaming I'm less knowledgeable

2019-04-26 19:23:21 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:23:58 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:24:18 UTC  

Ended up with lots of shitty manufacturers slapping it onto everything

2019-04-26 19:24:39 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:24:49 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:25:02 UTC  

This was on the every low end though.

2019-04-26 19:26:36 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:27:08 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:27:24 UTC  

Renting is shit

2019-04-26 19:28:23 UTC  

I'm happy renting for now

2019-04-26 19:30:25 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 19:31:07 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 20:12:24 UTC  

Yeah that is pretty good

2019-04-26 20:12:48 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 20:32:10 UTC  

But eventually it might be nice to have a house

2019-04-26 20:32:58 UTC  

That's true

2019-04-26 22:26:38 UTC  

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.

2019-04-26 22:45:30 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 22:45:52 UTC  

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

2019-04-26 22:46:04 UTC  

I like that I can move whenever I want

2019-04-26 22:46:07 UTC  

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