The curved Ark monitor looks fun, but I think in time it would get old with that extreme overhead curve.

You can use it horizontally like a normal monitor.

Imagine keeping the Odyssey Ark monitor in vertical mode for some epic FaceTime calls 🤭

I remember when SSD 1/2 to 1/4 the size of the smallest listed were 2-4x the price of the largest listed

They really have dropped a lot. Check out what I paid for a 120GB SSD in 2011. $312!

and reviews say it is STILL awkward to use horizontal and the ability to go vertical adds a LOT of weight so its just not that convenient to move, even horizontal. so yeah. still think it looks like fun but would get old.

Saw the ARC at bestbuy and it looks cool

Is the S95B still the only QD-OLED in the US market? I just bought a TV this year but that QD-OLED at that price is more tempting than it should be.

How’s the M8 for a second display for an iMac Pro or as a second screen for a MBP?

 

[GuruZac]

Have had 3 Samsung TVs and they’ve been outstanding. Will buy another when the time comes. Wish I needed one now, these are good deals.

Back in the late '90s I paid over $300 for a 6GB HDD. The guy I worked with that was teaching me how to build PC's told me that was overkill

In the late 80’s I paid $350 for a 49 MB seagate SCSI drive for my Amiga 500.

Just don’t install anything on them….

they haven’t fixed it in years…completely negligent

They are indeed great TVs... except...

They are incredibly chatty on the network and will download ads 24 hours a day, whether they are on or off. It is something to behold, actually (the amount of network traffic they generate). My Samsung TV gets to access my Wi-Fi only when I need to update it. Otherwise, it is sitting in the corner off the network and I use Apple TV device to stream stuff on it.

BTW if you do use Apple TV device to stream to a Samsung TV, do use the built-in Apple TV color calibration (it will require your iPhone too) as the TV is not really very color precise by default.

Ooh forgot about SCSI!!

 

[Marsikus]

Curious, I didn’t know about smart monitors.

 

[appleguy123]

How’s the M8 for a second display for an iMac Pro or as a second screen for a MBP?

Since 5K and 6K displays aren’t taking off, this is one of the best non-Apple displays right now and also has a lot of smart TV functionality.

 

[california_kid]

Why is that screen curved like that? Keep the rain off my head? Yes, that must be it since they named it the "Ark".

I remember when Samsung introduced their first 85" 4K OLED, the UN-85S9, at CES 2013. It weighed 189 lbs, and cost $40,000. Now, remarkably, they're going for only $2,200 -- barely more than the price of an Apple polishing cloth.

Hands on with the massive Samsung UN-85S9 85-inch 4K TV

The UN-85S9 is massive, and massively expensive. At a special event in LA, we got to spend some time with it, watching 4K, Blu-ray, some test patterns ... even DVD.

My Samsung Q95B QD-OLED 65 inch TV was warped out the box along the top and the side. The screen is so thin it has minimal structural rigidity. You can easily flex it my placing a ruler along the back. At first you can see light under it showing the warp and then by applying minimal pressure to the ruler the visible light disappears as the screen casing straightens out. Im amazed how the TV is so well reviewed considering the shoddy build quality and materials used. Needless to say it's being returned and I've ordered a replacement Sony. I shall never complaint about the Apple premium over Samsung again after my experience with Samsungs cutting edge (apparently) TV. Long live Apple's beautiful metal and glass designs. Leave the brittle plastic to Samsung and let them discount it.

 

[Redright88]

I got my 65” S95B for $1399. It’s a great tv. Is it thin? Yes, but so is my B2. Just be careful lifting it off its front when installing the stand, put your hands more in the middle. I think most people say it was bent out of the box, to not get mad at themselves for improper lifting.

My FIL told me about his first 20MB hard drive being bigger than an early Mac Pro and costing thousands.

 

[svish]

Great deal on 75/85" TVs

Back in the early 90’s we paid $600 for a 2MB RAM upgrade for our Macintosh LC (a machine that, with the matching monitor, cost $3,000 at the time and was considered a bargain). It amazes me how cheap things are by comparison, not even when adjusting for inflation.
