Banning makes no sense for a "struggling" forum like IVG. The mods or other members could just ignore the "offending" member. These guys mentioned in above posts were longtime members. Banning only makes sense for new members.

Why 77 inch OLED in India are too much overpriced? Does these TV's not sell well like 55inch or 65inches?
Normally 77inch OLED from LG (C1) costs around 2900 dollars, which should be around 2lakh 80-90thousands in India inclusive of taxes, not more. But everywhere it's showing too much. Why is that?Haha. It was 10 lakh till last year. Sony priced theirs for 6 then lg reduced the price. I expect that this (3) would the price 2 years from now.

The acquisition will take place after fiscal year 2023.
Which is like April 2024.
M$ is still fully supporting Minecraft & Bathesda games on PS.
OK. TES6 will not be on PS. I don't think they will remove existing games but not bring new games.

Atleast till 2024 it will.
After that I can’t say
Has it been announced? If not, I don't think so.

If you really think GP by 2024-25 (when it would really have titles like COD & Elder Scrolls) would still be ₹150 a month then you are just kidding yourself.
They tried to make it $120 a year just when Bathesda news was out.
Ppl who play COD & FIFA only every year will still buy & play it on PS in foreseeable future.
I don't think COD will be on PS anymore.

Anyone using a 2kva (or bigger) inverter for home use ? Noida has a high amount of electricity cuts, and with 2 TVs, an xbox, a PS, and bunch of other stuff running (lights, fans, router etc), the current 1100va inverter can't keep up even for 5 seconds. Concerned with the affect on devices, thinking of upgrading to 2kva inverter + 2 200AH batteries.
Any experience, anyone ?
If it really lasts for 5 seconds and not 0 seconds, most likely your battery is gone. Try replacing the battery first and if it doesn't help you can upgrade to a 2.5 kVA inverter where you would require 2 batteries. So, buy another battery of the same type when you upgrade your inverter.

Gameloot has really gone downhill. I also had a similar experience. I won't deal with them again.

@NitroNeo thanks, but not what I’m asking. I’ve never paired the tsky remote with anything.
The Tata sky remote works on Tata sky for everything including volume for every other TV. That’s how I’d like it too. But, with the frame, the volume output does not change through Tata sky even though the display shows the STB’s volume slider moving while using tsky remote.
Only way to change volume output is to use the tv’s own remote, which changes the tv volume through TV’s UI. So at this time we are stuck with using two remotes instead of just one for viewing.
How I’d like it to be and how it was with the earlier tv: switch on tv and then use Tata sky remote to control channels and volume. The volume output is controlled by tsky UI and not tv’s UI. TV’s own volume could be controlled by the Tv remote separately, in addition to tsky. With the frame, the volume is controlled only by the TV’s own remote with TV’s own UI. The tsky volume control and UI is wholly ineffective.
Disable Dolby digital in audio settings. Change it to PCM in audio settings of the set top box. Then, the volume control will work. It will work even without this change on SD channels. Dolby digital does not have the facility of volume control. It has to be done by the audio processor. In this case, it is done by the TV.
Although, I recommend you to program your Tata sky remote to control the TV volume (and keep DD on STB) as the sound quality on DD vs PCM is night and day.

^^ Degrades in Air ?
Yes. One of the biggest problem with OLEDs. Air contains a lot of oxygen and moisture, both of which are enemies of organic semiconductors.

My 35 year old CRT TV finally broke down. Currently looking for a new TV that works for next 30 years. I got my eyes on LG C1 oled 55". Is LG TVs good and long lasting? Will they provide software updates for the next 30 years?
Probably the worst technology to buy if you are interested in longevity of 30 years. OLED degrades in air (and with use) more than any other piece of technology that you might have ever bought other than batteries.

Budget is not a constraint but space is. This one is huge and my mom's eyes will get sore everyday looking at it.
I will try to convince her, otherwise will get the other one.
Will just keep UPS mode always on as you said earlier, does that degrade battery life?
I don't think so. Those which use battery even power is on are called online UPS and they are much more expensive.

Is this one good? Only things on the inverter will be fans, lights and router. And TV+Ps5 till the time I can turn them off. Will be using 2 150ah batteries.
Seems fine. But this is better if you can afford to pay 3-4K extra:

This also takes 2 batteries. Most of the cost is of batteries. Better to buy locally though. It should be around 10-11K. You can check UPS mode before buying.
And, you don't have to turn your equipment off. You can keep using them. Haha!

I do have a 1600VA inverter running on 2 batteries but haven't ever tried running TV and Ps5 on it because those ports aren't connected. Load won't be much, if mains isn't on then just need to run the 3 fans, 3 leds and router. Only need to run TV and Ps5 till the time I can power them off, will see if they run on mine.
Also my inverter has UPS mode, do I leave it on that permanently?
I do keep it on UPS mode permanently. You can run them for about 4-5 hours if your batteries are relatively new.
UPS'es lost their value to me since Inverters have reduced their switching time so that none of my electronics turns off. Batteries last longer for backup as well as they have life of 5-6 years if maintained well. UPS'es would last for less than 5 minutes and the battery was gone in a couple of years.

Damn, there's always something
Thanks a lot, and this probably means I'll need to budget in a second battery as well assuming I can use my existing single battery with it.
Don't do that. Not a good idea to mix old and new batteries. Sell the older one if you can. Or use it until it dies and exchange it with new one. If it is relatively new (around 1 year or so), then it might not be a big problem to mix it with a new one.
They have different aging characteristics, so it will age your newer battery faster.

Good tips, man. Can you run a 1200 va+ inverter with just one battery? I have a 1100 microtek one now, but would like to move to something more stable.
No, unfortunately. The 12 V cannot be efficiently converted to 230 V AC at such a high load. So, buy the biggest possible 2 battery inverter. The price difference between different capacity inverters is small. Most of the cost is of the battery.

Also get an inverter which also doubles as a UPS. Most inverters cut off time, while in milliseconds, can cause some devices to restart. I've a sine wave Microtek doing this.
Some inverters have a mode switch at the back to set as UPS. Get those.
You must be having an older inverter. Almost all brands that I have seen in the last 6 years (admittedly, my sample is only 3 brands), have a UPS mode.
It is also possible that your battery is weak and needs replacement. I have not had any shutdowns in the last 3 years since I replaced my battery. Also, it is important to use proper gauge of wire. My previous fitting had thinner wire, which along with a long length was causing problems during switchover.

Was just asking how many 150ah or 130ah batteries will it take?
If you are buying a new inverter you need to figure out the load you will be having on the inverter. Inverters < 1100 VA require 1 battery. >1200 VA usually require 2 batteries. >2200 VA require 3 batteries.
I currently have a 1400 VA inverter with 2 batteries. My whole house load is on it. 3-4 fans, lights, PC, TV, AVR, everything is on it except cooler, AC, fridge and kitchen appliances.
But, make sure to buy a sinewave inverter. Other inverters are useless and may damage your equipment especially those containing transformers because of harmonics.

How many batteries will that take? Just too lazy to do the calculation.
Both TV and console combined would take less than 400 W. Depending on your inverter's capacity and load in your house, you might have to upgrade your inverter or not.
You can't just add batteries to your existing inverter. They are not designed like that.

Another Inverter just for the console and tv? Too much space.
Why another? Connect it to existing one if you have it. Why buy a UPS then?

Yeah, was getting a good price plus seller was Retailnet. Will get it offline only now. My earlier 1100 va APC was from Nehru place only.
If space is not an issue. Sinewave inverter with battery is a much better investment. Longer life, backup.

I still don't know what game to play on PS5 once i get it on which ever date
That is why I cancelled my preorder of PS5. I will wait for the slim version so that the kinks are ironed out and there are games to play (for a reasonable price). 5000 a pop for a game seems like daylight robbery.

If you have a running sub, it'll auto renew at old prices. Pray it never lapses because it'll default to new prices.
Just buy/upgrade PC lol. These sub prices are a joke.
I take that back. I was wrong.

They rejected my disks as well for non-existent "scratches". Then, they sent me overwatch "with" scratches and refused to refund, which they did after lot of arguments and at least a 15 days wait.
They were very good 2-3 years back. Now, they have become very poor in every possible way.
