And if you need CL rated cables and have the choice between CL2 or CL3 then save some money and get CL2 because CL3 are for commercial installations (CL2 = up to 150V vs CL3 = up to 300V).
Man, the G14 does not stay in stock long. I saw it on sale at Best Buy this morning and it was gone by the time I went to checkout
They were $50 on Boxing Day in 2018. Haven't seen them that low since.
Seems like this does:
But it doesn't have a good Rtings rating:
LG NANO85 2020 Review (49NANO85UNA, 55NANO85UNA, 65NANO85UNA, 75NANO85UNA)
The LG NANO85 2020 is a 4k LED TV in LG's NanoCell lineup. It has decent overall performance with very good out-of-the-box color accuracy, but it doesn't perform...

I fear the day 55" become so small nobody bothers making them. It's probably happening soon.

Yeah, I've not heard good things about LG's "Nanocell" TVs, but it's frustrating that this ticks most of the boxes otherwise (though apparently RTings couldn't get its 2.1 ports to actually display 4k120hz?)
You'd need to get creative to attain it, it isn't being sold in Canada
Wow, fuck us I guess. These are the only other sets with those specs on Rtings, but they only have 2.1 on one port.
Samsung Q80T
Samsung The Frame
Ring Fit is in stock on costco.ca website, just made an order for one.
Unfortunately for both, features like VRR are locked to 55" and up.
It does seem like the LG CX is the only option. I would actually try and find a way to import it, lockdown and all, if not for the fact that it's an OLED (Making it way out of my price range, and potential for burn in as it will do double duty as a second monitor).
I've more or less resigned my fate to a 55" I think, hopefully, it's not too big if I keep all the windows small (if it is I will have to change my entire room set up).
TCL released their 2020 lineup which is almost perfect (no HDMI 2.1, so caps out at 1440p/120hz, or 4k/60). Really good price too, 650 USD (870ish Canadian).
Otherwise, there's the Sony x900h (getting all the features in an undated update), or the Samsung q70t/q80t (likely former because it's WAY cheaper, also waiting for update to activate hdmi 2.1).
But I have plenty of time before I get a PS5, and it's all dependent on if I find a job by then or not in the first place so 🤷♂️
Lmao. Why even release them under the same model if they're missing some of the most important features.
Q: Does EB still take phones for trade-in? Just upgraded mine and wouldn't mind getting some $$$ for the old one (Note 9).
Alternatively, what's the best place to sell a phone?
Alternatively, what's the best place to sell a phone?
BestBuy does phone trade ins as well.
If you want the best value for it though then sell it personally on Kijiji or Facebook marketplace.
Considering how old the phone is, you'd be lucky to get $200 at EB if they were to take it. They seem to be going for $450-500 on Craigslist, so if you just want to get rid of it I'd do a lowball $350 Craigslist sale to move it fast. Less fuss than a normal CL sale, and way more than EB would ever give you.
Anyone know good spots to find a deal on Eneloop AA batteries and the matching charger?
I used shopbot and found Dell selling a 4x AA & charger combo pack for the Eneloop Pros for $40. I can use Rakuten to get 2% cash back on this too, not that it's a huge plus. Is that a decent price or do you think I could get them cheaper?
EDIT: looked around a bit and it seems like Dell was the best deal, it was only $45 with tax (Ontario) and shipping was free. Buying from Dell is a bit weird because sometimes they'll say the item is in stock but it won't arrive for months (not sure if it's back ordering, logistics with third party sellers, COVID-19, or whatever) but the Eneloops are supposed to be delivered as of next week.

FWIW Dell used to be the place I would go for Eneloops a few years back because they would have pretty reliable discounts. Can't speak to their shipping practices during COVID-19 or anything but I've never had major issues with them even for non-Dell peripherals and random stuff.
So I did miss a memo. No wonder they're so hard to find - thanks!
lol if anyone wants a lightly used 1X I'm your guy. I think I fired it up for H5 SP and maybe 10ish hours of MP and haven't really touched it since.
I just suddenly remembered something.
Did anybody get their CRT class action lawsuit settlement monies?
www.crtclassactioncanada.com
They said payouts would take about a year after the filing deadline and we're almost 6 months past that now.

Yeah that's pretty much what I'll end up doing as well. I'll justifying it by just using all my points on groceries for a bit. My Xbox one is kinda on its way out so I'm hoping it can last until November.
Last I heard was an email in December that said:I just suddenly remembered something.

I assume courts and stuff are stalled up around now?
Regardless, I don't think we've missed our payout cheques.
On the flip side, I just got the usual GST cheque letter, but it's broken and says I owe the government money. It doesn't say anything about interest, and the payment due date is the instant I see the letter... Soo uhh, fuck em. This isn't how GST cheques work, Imma ignoring this government fuckup.
Anyone have any deals on link's awakening? I saw in japan it was on sale a few weeks ago and I was waiting to see if it goes on sale here but I haven't seen it. I really don't feel like paying full price for a 15 hour game
Gonna be a tough one since even used carts hold their value, no?
Sounds silly but maybe try to scope deals out on gift cards that save you a few dollars on the GC value and then buy it new from a big box store?
My sister received two CERB cheques....but she never applied. She's called several times to notify them and return the money, but can't get a straight answer. Things are messed up at the moment.
I just hope the dollar dollar doesn't drop further before the new consoles launch.
Not a deal but if anyone's looking to get that really nice LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System model (300$ before taxes, shipping is free and includes a free gift) it's back in stock. I just grabbed mine, totalled to $338 with taxes in Ontario.

I kind of want this because I'm curious to see how the TV part comes together, but also it's a lot of money for something that will just sit there after building it. lolNot a deal but if anyone's looking to get that really nice LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System model (300$ before taxes, shipping is free and includes a free gift) it's back in stock.

Geez was that really all that way back in 2016? I haven't watched a single one I got lol.
iirc, it was prime day 2017
i remember cause i was at a festival, and the act playing was so bad that i literally started buying anime on my phone.
I managed to get about 15 copies of sailor moon and I have never even cracked the seals on them.

Nopers.
Can anyone find copies of TLOU 2 PS4 for less than $50? Everything on Vancouver craigslist is like $65.
Avoided spoilers so far but itching to play ..

As a very frugal gamer, I paid full price at release and feel like I got a heluva deal...just sayin
It's a very, very long game if that helps validate the price.
Also very replayable, if you can get over the crushing weight of the story and its misery.
