    you can write about motorcycle in the car part, they will be happy to read through it. But just like how IVG (GI) was intially Console heavy, and PC posts were very less, TBHP also started with cars predominantly.  

     

    Ya they are pretty strict, i have myself got infractions, but then the good thing is it's not selctive and across the board, so that keeps the content good and readable. In IVG we are liberal, but then we are very less in number too. 

     

    As some one mentioned spend sometime there and you will start appericating them, though yes sometimes it feels pretty restrictive.

    TV installation guy quoted 2600, but the engineer quoted 1300. Got a sealed LG remote pack from the latter, with invoice from LG directly.  

    call engineer and tell him to give you one more when he is around your place, then ship it to me, LG i am sure will quote me 3000 here :rant:

    Thanks will check the manufacturing date on box and I'll also video record the whole thing when it arrives.

     

    Not sure how the photo before shipping will help me? 🙈🤔

    Tell them not to ship if manufacturing date is more then 3 months back, and send a different set!!

    My C8 conked off 3 days ago. Screen wouldn't turn on - the red light just flashed three times and disappeared. 

    Registered a complaint - engineer visit happened the same day - the TV was only taking in 12V vs 24V, apparently mobo fired. No idea how it happened since I have it connected to an APC UPS, which regulates voltage. 

    Nevertheless, mobo + 2 cables had to be changed. Total cost was around 8.3k, including 1700 bucks as service charge. 

    Decent experience - all parts were arranged within 2 days. 

    dang, this scares me now. Though good to see the mobo isn't very expensive, if it was a screen replacement would have been better to buy a new tv, hope thos holds.

    Thanks will check that. But this sucks!!! :surprise:Hopefully need to trust Vijay Sales that they won't scam me with an open piece. Maybe there is a way to check the date of manufacture / assembly and atleast that should give an idea (if it's older than 3-4 months maybe it was used?)

     

    :o Thanks for the headsup, I will do this (I have a spare wall mount from my VU TV 55", will that do for LG? or should I not risk that?)

     

    Are wallmounts / stands not included in the price? We supposed to pay extra for those?

    Check the manufacturing date on box, if possible ask them to share the photo before shipping, that shoould give you a good idea.

    Review?

    I used it just for little bit as this is for wife, it's very fluid and camera is very competent. Battery life seems to be holding good too, though she thinks it's a bit less then her last phone which was a Redmi K20 pro. Guess the phone is still settling down and should know better of battery life in next few days. Otherwise seems like a very polished phone, and a really good pick at the price point.

    I suspect RD cos of his history of making such decisions. I understand in interest of team sometimes such things need to be done but this is SL we are talking about in India against Ashwin and Jadeja. Everyone knew match will be over in max 4 days. 

     

    And Jadeja should never be captain. We don't need to mess up his form with additional responsibilities. Let him do what he does best.

    Wait for Rohit sharma to break down after one series and India left with no captain :lol:

    I am sure Rohit would have loved for jaddu to get a 200 but RD is again a spoilsport. Jaddu must be devastated, it's a rare chance for no.6-7 for us to get a 200. 

    If it was indeed RD, it is definitely ultra stupid, we had way more then enough time to bundle out Sri Lanka.  
     

    but what a player Jadeja is turning out to be, he should be the captain of test team.

    In a new format for the IPL, starting with the 2022 edition, the 10 teams have been given seedings based on the number of times they have won the IPL or made the finals and, accordingly, been divided into two "virtual" groups for the league phase. Group A will be led by five-time champions Mumbai Indians, who have got the top seeding overall, while four-time winners Chennai Super Kings, will be on top in Group B with the No. 2 seeding.

     

    The other teams in Group A comprise Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants, in that order. Group B features Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans, in that order.

     

    Unveiling the new format on Friday, the IPL said in a media release that the 10 teams will play a total of 14 matches - seven home and seven away - during the league phase that comprises 70 matches. Each team will play five other sides twice, both home and away. These five sides will comprise the four other teams from the same group and one team from the other group from the corresponding row as per the seedings. For example, Mumbai will play the other four teams in Group A - Knight Riders, Royals, Capitals and Super Giants - and Super Kings from Group B two times each.

     

    The other four games for each side will be against the remaining teams from the other group, two only at home and two only away.

     

    The home-and-away formula will not be relevant this season.

    It's mentioned 3 in one review.

    Ya, those 3 are main drawbacks. Still price is quite attractive. Will see how Poco Gt4 and Realme GT are as they are also launching in few days. 

    ya he screwed up, saw on FK it is 5, so that is very good, just one below Victus.

     

    also the fact that you get 68W charger in the box is huge plus.

    700 nits brightness is a bit less for flagship.

    Fingerprint sensor placement isn't good and no underdisplay fingerprint.

    Ip52.

    Gorilla glass 3 when most flagship are coming with victus.

    No telephoto lens..

     

    These are the cons I could make out from reviews. Otherwise looks like a solid phone.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    3 or 5?

     

    I think major drawback is 

     

    1. Peak Brightness

    2. IP rating

    3. no telephoto lens

     

    Fingerprint scanner i won't say drawback. The fact it is bloatfree makes above point liveable with, and when you add the price, it sounds amazing.
