Yeah, no mounty, no TV.
Right!?The Atmos speakers… Get those installed!![]()
I hear you. Tom Petty was right the waiting is the hardest part. Best Buy might offer the price protection in case the price drops for Black Friday. Their card is also good for cask back but you then have to buy something els or you can pay over time. I usually do the pay over 12 or 24 months so I don’t have a huge bill due right around Christmas.I checked most of that out, already.
One of my cards had a Best Buy cash-back offer running that would effectively just credit 5% the purchase back to the card. That's what I did for my Dell monitor, too, but different card.
I'm hoping one of my accounts comes correct with another partner deal like that when trigger time occurs!
Agree I know they ship them to the store but if it’s damaged for home delivery the return and replacement process is a pain. If I can buy and pickup local I do. Good luck!Getting itchy!
The major retailers just dropped another hundy off the Sony X93L. It and the LG C3 are just sitting there at ~$1600.
I've never been so eager to charge about 1700 to a card!
(OK, except for just upgrading my computer, but that is on payment plan with deferred interest so that hardly counts (Love Apple!). And I built my audio rig with cash...)
Anyway, there is a seller on Amazon that has the C3 already at 30% off retail, but I got bit hard when I bought my Dell Monitor from such a shop and it was DOA. The policy was to not issue the refund for almost 30days after getting the monitor back!
I would prefer not having a TV shipped like that through UPS or FedEx! Though I would love to see the video of the Forklift Polo match using somebody else's large TV!
So I'll be watching Best Buy and Costco for the deal I'm hoping for.
Yes. You can definitely lay it down. Wouldn’t hurt to support it, but it’ll be fine.Oh...
And lets talk transportation.
I know the official recommendation is to keep these standing up.
But can you lie them down for driving them home? Flat on their back, padded underneath to help absorb any bounce?
Thoughts, commentary, advice?![]()
I'd like to know also; I'll be loading it in the bed of my truck. Thanks for posting up about this I didn't take that into consideration. Guess I can Google about laying an OLED TV down. Thanks just saw you guys' post.Oh...

If it fits between the wheel wells I wouldn’t worry about it. Also, you could stand it up and strap it in the bed of a truck if you’re worried.I'd like to know also; I'll be loading it in the bed of my truck.

I saw a Sony 77" A95L at BB the other day. It was the best TV picture I've ever seen.The Value Electronics Shootout results...

2023 Value Electronics TV Shootout Results
Value Electronics finished up their 4k TV shootout. Results below. No Panasonic or Phillips as they don't sell TVs in U.S X95L was not in the shootout due to the 85" size while the other TVs were 65" LG, Sony, Sharp, Samsung, Hisense all have reps there TVs were not supplied by any...www.avforums.com
My vehicle had space to lay my 65" OLED flat with no issues. For assembly, the instructions ask you to lay it flat any way. My ottoman is the same height as the sectional and when combined created a large safe surface to work on. The panel itself is only 1/4" thick but felt sturdy. You'll still need a second person to move it around. They warn you in the instructions not to grab the panel at the corners, as tempting as that might be. Safest position is to have the hands a few inches in from the corners.Oh...

Right! Doesn't take much to crack a screen on LED. Lost two installing myself one 55" and a 48". Throwing two TV's in the dumpster that looked perfectly good with the power off, I developed PTSD over those.No more assembly talk. I still have nightmares.
Get the 65" and rent a truck from U-Haul.Walmart put the C2 on sale. 65" is now 1399. (55" is 1149).
Outside of a special delivery not being shipped, I might have to consider the 55" C3, which would def keep it in budget, and be transportable in my car, perhaps even the Lady's Ridgeline in the cab..
Ordering the C2 65" is tempting. Still in budget and would be shipped, though.
If it came down to year old model at 65, or current model at 55... ?
Edit: I measured my car again, and if I built a jig, I should be able to transport the 65 c3 lying down. The 55: will fit either vehicle, but I would still need to build a jig for the Model Y as the back is not flat, though it stands up just right in the back of the Ridgeline cab.

You're all a bunch of enablers!Get the 65" and rent a truck from U-Haul.
