Having some fun with "partial subtitles". Those bits of a film not in English without an interpreter, e.g. StarWars - Jabba the Hutt scenes. To get the subtitles I have to go to the menu (Subtitle button is blocked), turn on and off English subtitles. Then I just get them where film needs them.
Else it's producing a nice picture. It's a bit unnerving the detail and colour on first viewing compared to what we had before. And this is just DVD.

Re: What have you just bought?
Top of the range 55in QLED TV, did my research and decided I didn't want an OLED due to the hassles with screen burn, banding and 30 FPS content being far worse than on a QLED as I suffer from motion sickness in gaming as well as I never use the TV in a dark room which OLEDs are better suited to.

Re: What have you just bought?
10 meter Led strip light off TikTok shop and a Dish drainer very cheap as a new customer. Lights come and work great Drainer is coming from the continent.
Ok TikTok shop has a lot of tat but some of the stuff looks ok.
I did find out though that you only a get a good price as a new customer. Now here is a work around for that. Just log out of TikTok clean cache then data and open tiktok again. Log in using a facebook account (if you already used this just make a dummy facebook for now) then you become a new TikTok shop customer again and get the good prices. You could by endless air fryers for a tenner each if you wanted too ( until they catch on they are all going to the same address hahaha )
Just done the above to buy a viral Spaceman projector to help me sleep same one is over twice the price on amazon.
If anything catches my eye again I will do it again

Re: What have you just bought?
RTX 4070TI on Ebuyers Ebay page 12 months credit. Chances are it is an incorrect advert as it is down at £629 this is an £800 + card. Had to take a punt. I have messaged and added a note that if it is wrong as I suspect and a RTX 4070 standard that I want to cancel

Google luck I don't think I would have messaged them as the pic says TI as well as the text, it is more likely just a miss price.
Even the MPN number GV-N407TEAGLE OC-12GD says it's a TI.
