I used them for a CPU purchase 2 years ago. Had to RMA after a few months and I received my replacement fairly quickly. So from my n = 1 I…

Yep, it's poorly-worded. It's either 'integrated' or 'card', literally cannot be both since 'card' implies a separate physical card that is…

You’re not out of the ordinary. It’s just that the “I’m cool cos I hate on Disney” crowd is loud af.

My wife and I both use an 8. Performance is fine, as long as you go and close tabs and programs every now and then. Could do with battery…

This thing runs hot and uses way more electricity than any other comparable CPU. So just get on of the AMD CPUs suggested in other…

No, Intel will replace under warranty for up to 3 years. Unfortunately, as acknowledged by some early comms from Intel themselves,…

They were mostly 'stay away from' due to Samsung's massive marketing budget and them pushing the narrative that burn-in is a huge risk. Now…

Had a read, bit of a stormy teacup scenario, likely just a company that supplies to Samsung trying to discredit TCL. One of the companies…

That RRP is awesome. Can't escape the 119, pear fans!

Hisense can't even do BFI, pretty much bottom tier for motion.

75-inch is OOS and 85-inch is down to 2 available. Was gonna return my good but buggy af 65-inch Hisense U8K and get the 75-inch X90L.…

Ummm, CRT has better motion handling than any flat panel. One of the main reasons that BFI exists, is because flat panel tech is so far…

Have they jacked their pricing in order to make their offshoot, Buddy Telco, look more competitive? Cos that's what it looks like to me.…

At the cost of some jankiness, this is actually a good setup for recording high bitrate video on a budget. Slightly less expensive than…

If you are buying this for speed, keep in mind you will more likely get ~800MB/s write speeds. To actually get 1000 MB/S (or higher) you'll…

What's the better value alternative?

Bravia 5 or 7 is the current model, X90L is from 2023.

Yeah if it's not clearly stated, not stated at all or if there is ambiguity/hidden terms, you can definitely push your case. Gonna depend…

There's no way the G4 is worth an extra 2 grand - slightly brighter in SDR, but the S90D is brighter in HDR with better colour volume.…

The AU site (https://www.tcl.com/au/en/tvs/65c655) says it does 2K at 120, so 1440p. Unless they are being cute and its only does cinema…

The TCL is much brighter and with significantly better colour volume. So it's not as straight forward as the Sony FALD algorithm and image…

The UK site says the same 'Mini LED Pro' as the AU site, so it looks like Hisense are effing them in the a-hole as well and only the US are…

The AU model should be brighter than 1600 nits - what's the source for this? I can only find reviews of the 75 inch U8NAU, and they mention…

Have the U8K, last year's versions of this. Good TV for the money, Hisense eventually rolled out a firmware around Feb this year that dealt…

Yeah but wasn't that only available to CBA employees employees and was $2499 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/842740 You'd be extremely…

Testing was a little bit bumpy. TLDR - fine for PCIE gen 4 drive, but suitability for PCIE gen 3 depends on use case. With Windows the…

I had an Orico 20Gbps 3.2 gen 2x2 enclosure, delivered today. It was $45 delivered from the official Orico store on Ebay AU. Getting…

VIDAA is fooked. Also, my U8K keeps getting black screen/audio only whenever I use the clear motion setting. Firmware updates and a…

I'm thinking they toked on a bit of asbestos

True. Maybe the site needs a feature to flag this type of stuff. Like a little graph at the top of the page, show time of year vs expected…
