8K source options are extremely limited and will be for a while. Those TVs will come way down in price before 8K stuff becomes more available.

i do have 4k and HDR on my current tv. its not sonys top model but upper mid level.

i def want 8K for the new xbox coming out in november but honestly an 85: 8K tv is $9000 right now. even a year out they wont drop much and like JAR said there isnt anything even in 8K right now. we are probably 2 yearso ut before 8K is even semi-available in many games/movies.

i still kinda miss my 52" plasma.

games always looked good on it.

current TV is pretty amazing all around.

i did get a kick out of the main con in reviews is poor viewing angle but i can legit stand on the side at almost 90 degrees and still see the picture lol

think that was a false piece of info.

Reviews paid for by their comptetition? lol

Im not much of a videophile or audiophile. As long as its a clear picture, its big enough, and I can hear the sounds, Im happy. I have a 50" off brand fireTv. Ive had a ps4 and 15 games for about 3 years now and only played it maybe a total of 20 hours..

bigger is always better hence why i wanna move up to a 85 over my 75 lol

i probably put 6-8 hours of gaming in a day

i have a decent sound bar and subwoofer think it was like $400 when i got it. kinda want to move up to surround sound setup but havent made that jump yet.

Did my monthly shopping at the store last night. $244 later I got a 6 pound pork loin, a whole salmon, a few whole chickens, big piece of eye round, primal cut of sirloin, and 5 pounds of ground beef. Plus a bunch of other stuff.

Now I am going to try making black garlic, ferment ginger and garlic into a paste, make some pickled red onions, and see what else I can come up with.

My apartment is tiny, and I still found mesh very beneficial.
Call up Asus and ask them which nodes you can use with your router. Might have to use the same router as you have now....but im sure they have a cheaper path to mesh

2pk of their aimesh nodes is 399.

i'm good without them.

internet into my house is 985mbps

wifi runs around 250-400mbps depending on what server i get when testing.

xbox is hardwired for full speed.

250-400 is kinda low for a tri band router with your subscription. The 2.4ghz on your router is capable of 1000Mbps according to asus, so the 2x 5ghz signals should be much faster. If you can go into your settings, try turning off QOS.

look, theres about 10 millions settings and whatnot in a phone app for the router........its been a year i havent messed with it lol

it works and my xbox is hardwired so when downloading a game or update during heavy traffic times like right at release it still pulls 300mbps+ which is insane compared to other friends on xbox.

i have hit 900mbps on a download but not at like a big title relase window timeframe. no matter what connection you have youre still reliant on xbox's servers.
