    I have the frame above our fireplace. We had to design in a rectangular cubby hole for the controller for the frame TV in order for it to hang like an actual picture frame.
    It was during the designing of our house so not a big deal. The builder did have to go to a thinner fireplace exhaust pipe to compensate for the cubby.

    The box itself does have a very longish "HDMI like" cord for the output to the TV so if you wanted to remote locate the box somewhere else and fish the output cord to the TV it can be done. I think the cord is about 10-15ft long.

    I am looking for an 80" (+ or - 5") TV around the <$3000 mark (preferably around $2500) that will primarily be used for watching sports. I have a decent TV that's going into the family room for the kids to watch movies on but I noticed pretty quickly after buying it that when watching hockey on it everything gets blurry with quick camera motions and the high contrast colours. This new TV is going in my basement and will mostly be used with the lights on. A decent smart TV operating system that has apps like SN-Now is ideal as I would prefer not to run something external like Apple TV or a Fire Stick if I can help it.

    I'm not in a big rush and can wait for Black Friday if its worth it. I was looking at Costco just because their return policy is awesome but I am open to other places.

    Relying on smart tv functionality will always be a painful experience. Slow UI, poor design, poor video quality, and last to get apps. Spend a few bucks and get an external device designed for streaming video that’s well supported by your apps.

    Even people using Xbox as a media device gets a shittier experience. Amirite @killramos ?

    Possibly unrelated, but xbox is coming out with a game streaming box called the keystone. Might be a better media center

    Considering it’s more of an Xbox lite I don’t see how it would be better.

    I am currently running an external device and will continue to do so if its needed, it just would be nice if I didn't need to. Question about TV's specifically tweaked for sports in a bright environment still stands though. I was looking at the Samsung 85" QN85Q70A or the Sony 85" X85K Series

    Had an unsolicited offer in the parking lot at work to buy a ‘like 80” TV from the back of a clapped out minivan (black, not white). Had I read this earlier I could have started an amazing group buy from a dude that looked like he was wearing a Luigi getup.

    Any recommendations for OLED/QLED to be on the lookout for this Black Friday/Cyber Monday season?

    Looking for a Sony-Samsung-LG (most likely) in 65" variant.

    The LG C1 OLED's have been pretty heavily discounted lately but I don't know if there's any stock of them left. I think they cleared most out for the C2 now.

    Current going rate for 65" C2 is about $2300. I'll be on the lookout for deals. What vendors have the best sales on these for Black Friday season?

    They are all the same I thought. But people prefer Costco for cheap warranty plans and return policy.

    I find London Drugs could be good graveyards of previous year models and unadvertised deals. But you have to be lucky and hit the right one.

    Yeah Costco /w warranty is the best bet unless you can get some kind of rewards point bonus elsewhere.

    Really hoping the 77's are on sale.

    What others said, try and find a LG C1 or Sony A80J if you can on sale.

    I just bought a 65" A80J for $1900 at Costco 2-3 weeks ago while they had it on sale. Same panel as the LG, but I wanted the built in Google/Android TV over the LG OS.

    Otherwise wait and see what comes out next month for Black Friday sales, Costco has been very competitive with Visions and Best Buy pricing, and can't beat 90 day return policy + cheap extended warranty.

    These OLED tv's are scary thin, was afraid of damaging it lol.

    Which location? The 55" A80J is at BestBuy for $1500 FYI

    ^ Red Deer Costco because I live in narnia now

    The C1 was $1900 at all locations to clear them out, the Sony went on sale to match the price. I'll see what pricing and stock is like when I swing by next trip.
