Not a horror movie guy, but I will definitely watch that one. The first two were excellent.

A lot of it comes down to whether you have a big enough room to take advantage of those things. I may or may not.

By the time I get around to building a dedicated theater, projectors will be completely unnecessary. For now, I'm happy with my 75.

I don't subscribe to print copies of much these days. I have online subs to the Wall Street Journal and The Daily Wire, but that's about it. From a pure nostalgia point of view, I'm sad to see S&V go.

That worked better than I thought it would.

Damn. That is a GREAT song.

I'd love to meet up some time. You're somewhere around New Haven, right? My best friend grew up in Putnam, CT and I used to visit him there back in the 90s. My Dad lived in Ridgefield, CT in the 80s, but moved to MA in 1990. My step-father's siblings and families all lived down around Norwich...

I just checked out the museum website and watched the video. It looks like it would be a fun way to spend a couple hours if I didn't live two and a half hours away. I don't have any family or friends left in CT, so I never go there unless I'm driving through on my way somewhere else.

That is very cool.

I've been listening to a lot of The Warning lately. I think they are one of the best new acts to hit the rock scene in years. Here are a few live clips from the last couple years. They are three sisters from Monterey, MX.

That looks ridiculous. I am now officially stoked.

First impressions of the Hisense A7: The A7 is Hisense's budget line and an edge-lit set, so I didn't expect the picture quality to knock my socks off. HDR is a bit less effective without local dimming. Blacks are not as dark. These were not surprises. Having said that, the picture is...

It hurt a lot and bled a bit, but it turned out to be not much more than a nick. I think the pain was mainly due to the force and the location. I am in the process of painting the gear caddy now and will definitely post pictures when I'm done. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out and it cost...

The speakers in my master bedroom are the Overnight Sensations I built last year, paired with a passive 8" subwoofer, and running off a 2.1 channel Fosi amplifier. They were on the dresser, but I am getting ready to mount them on either side of the new TV. The question was where to put the gear...

I should have the Hisense up this weekend. The A7 is a step down the model line from the one you are looking at and at least a step down from the TCL in my living room. I have an older TCL 6 Series in my family room that I am mostly happy with 4 years in. They definitely offer great bang for the...

I picked up another new display for the master bedroom. This one is a 43" Hisense A7 (2024 model) that I got on sale on Amazon for $198. I'm waiting for the mount and a few other things to arrive before installing it, but hope to have it up before I return to work on Tuesday. Hisense A7 on Amazon

I believe it is the 2023 version, which is probably why they knocked $500 off. I'm sure the 2024 is incrementally better, but I'm happy with what I have. $1200 isn't much of a budget for a 75" TV, so I'm just thrilled that it looks a bit better than the very expensive set it replaced.

This one is a lot lighter than the one it replaced. It is not very heavy, but it is big enough that you need two people to hang it. It was easier in my case, because I was replacing a TV of comparable size. All we had to do was take the old one down, move the mounting bracket to the new TV, and...

Is this TV perfect? No. Is it on-par with flagship sets for double the price? Of course not. Can I get the big silly grin off my face over how good this thing looks for what I paid for it? Nope. The other thing I will say is that the performance gap between the mid-range sets and the flagships...
