How configurable is the google mesh? I got the Linksys Velos, its EXTREMELY basic. I get about 95-100% of my subscibed speed... Really surprised because Im in a saturated area.

I have a Sonicwall NSA router that I re-purposed from work..lol
I thought the board/ports were fried when we had a power surge at work, but it was just the settings/firmware that got screwed up. Thats just another project to procrastinate on. :excited:

I really don't need these, but I went ahead and picked up a set for my google wi-fi. The pro version mounts behind the wall plate - the non-pro version is $5 cheaper for a set of 3 and uses the plug itself to secure.

It does everything I need it to and more. Simple app right on the phone. Can set priority for devices, create guest channels, ect its great for the house.

just saw the 85" version of my current 75" TV is on sale for 1999.....but one step up is 1300 off right now going for 2999. so tempting to upgrade size and step up a level.

or do i wait for 8K tv's drop in price.

:iagree:

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 remember going to Frys Electronics and seeing a 42" Plasma Tv when they first came out. 10k bucks :icon14: :eek:

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.

JARblue 04-27-2020 09:46 AM

They still have $10K plasma screen TVs... they're just bigger now.

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.

FPenvy 04-27-2020 09:53 AM

also, for reference i;m looking at the XBR85X950G model

sony 950G 85"

current tv is the sony 850F 75" i think F is my model year. maybe E.
