My faithful 780 died, so thought I would grab a quick upgrade.

Yes get a centre. One of the most important parts of a speaker system!

Regarding stands, no they don't screw into the speaker. They just sit on them (usually)

He's got a centre by the looks of it. I think his emphasis is on matching.

I wouldn't bother if you're happy with the sound as it is.

Due to stand, I was originally going for 49" 7 series but it was out of stock most reputable places. Also would be slightly too large as TV is in corner so part of it would be obstructed by fireplace.

Reminded me I need to ring up about the free bluray player I was want to receive with it..

Maybe, I know it has better motion reproduction, speakers and processor but it's all minimal TBH

Not when I saw them next to each other - 7 series looks a bit flat and normal, whereas the 8 really seemed to pop.

could have been due to settings, in store the image is probably going to be over saturated

Yeah thats the one! Think I might get it if it's on an eBay deal so they all look the same..

Also got some new wardrobes, carpet, curtains in spare room.

Also got a new bed and mattress in our bedroom

Why do you have two placentas on the floor by the bed?

Hyburnate · 14 May 2017 at 18:05

That mattress looks comfy

No no, they're sleeping bags for gnomes.

Bought a new mouse

Tis nice from what I've used it...

Now I need to find a decent keyboard. Why aren't there any nice full size, wireless RGB mech keyboard about?!

It's a bit of a niche I think, most people are ok with a cable on the keyboard because you don't have to move it around to use it. Wireless mice offer a tangible benefit while the keyboard is just aesthetic.

I would love to see one though maybe with a laptop sized battery in it to keep it glowing long enough.

I've seen these half size (or just no keypad etc) Chinese ones like:

Drevo-Calibur-71-Key-Mechanical-Keyboard-RGB-LED-Backlit-Wireless-Bluetooth-Connection-with-Blue-Switch-Black_zpsq7pvmskf.jpg

But no idea what they would be nice... I might give it a crack and see...

randomshenans · 15 May 2017 at 09:49

Oh, and I may have to pick this up soon...

May I ask where you got the bed from? Was it local or online?

I need a new bed.

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller last week.

Fantastic bit of kit.

MikeTheNative · 15 May 2017 at 10:14

Compared to the PS4 and Xbone controller that is really ugly.

Phate · 15 May 2017 at 10:20

Damn comfortable though.

Have never EVER gotten along with PS controllers, any iteration. The layout just doesn't work for me. XB360 and XBO controllers have always been very good. I bought this as I wanted a controller for emulating/roms and I plan on buying a Switch in July as well. Also this controller works natively with both OSX & Windows so it was a win win on all sides really! Made a lot of sense

MikeTheNative · 15 May 2017 at 10:24

I'm not doubting the ergonomics. Just that it looks like a cheap madcatz controllers.
