Binned my box after a week or two once i knew all was well. Too big to store.

My loft is box city

I always keep boxes if possible for stuff that I want to transport that item in if/when we move house. Or if there's a good chance I'm going to sell that item in future.

I just flat packed mine, stuck it in the loft. Plenty space up there.

Same here. If it gets out of hand, I flat pack some. Always comes in handy when selling or when moving.

I have dozens of amazon boxes

My box is in the shed awaiting a trip to the recycle centre.

Mine too for at least a couple of weeks. Was going to put it in the loft but I'd need to almost destroy it to get it through the loft doorway unfortunately. I'll give it a couple of weeks then dispose of it instead.

However, box aside, GSync on a 65" OLED is fricking awesome!

It really is. I built an ITX gaming PC for some general TV gaming, 1660 Super so running at 1440p 120Hz, and it is absolutely stunning, especially with HDR too. Playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, wow.

So TV set up and working perfectly, only bugbear why LG had to add the text to the firework screen saver...

Yes that is annoying. It's also annoying it can't be enabled for say when Sky is paused.

Yep, same for PC input. I've moved the "Screen off" option to the settings quick menu so it's only a couple of presses away.

Not a bad idea. I might do then then make the Harmony remote activate it when paused.

I use the voice control for 'screen off', that way it's just one button press

Sorry, I realised I have done it on my CX and it's not available on 2019 models

The dangers of following both threads!

u can create some shortcuts on your remote (quick access)....hold down zero on ya remote, edit quick access will pop up, hit the + and add from the list

Going to be getting a C9 next month and I'm wondering are the speakers good enough?

The reason I ask is I live in a terrace house i dont want the neighbours getting upset with me. Maybe a soundbar or are speakers a better option?

Thanks.

Those flattening the box to keep it - I don't understand. Does this mean you're not keeping the ploystyrene? And if so, what's the point in keeping the box?

I don't get this.. an avr or sound bar doesn't automatically mean your neighbors are going to hear it if anything it's clearer at a lower volume with an external source.

They're lousy, and the bass distorts. Q acoustics qtv2 far better
