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..

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.

Bigger is def not a negative. But I have a small living room and the couch is probably 8 ft away from the TV, and if I had a sound system, Id get kicked out of my apartment..lol
How the heck do you find time to put in for playing that much??
You should get a job as a video game tester. My cousing did that when PC games were huge.

Which mesh wifi did you go with? I bought the eero off of Amazon and it works well. It was pretty easy to set up too.

The Linksys Velop. Took longer to unpack than it did to actually set up..lol
The config on them is too basic. Im not too sure, but I need to figure out if it automatically switches betwen 2.4 and 5ghz. 2.4 is useless because Im surrounded by them.

Mine seems to automatically switch, but TBH, I couldn't tell unless I used a wifi analyzer. It works, and keeps my fiancee from complaining that her iPhone won't get email in our bedroom. I put one node in our room.
Three is perfect for our 1500 sq ft house, one in the living room on top of the Google fiber box, one in the family room and one in the master bedroom.

The feature just allows you to add nodes around the coverage area to increase signal strength. Your device may then connect to multiple nodes at once to get maximum speed. They call it a mesh.
