This has reached myth proportions, the c5 and s90f have a peak brightness of 1450 nits and 1700nits respectively. The g5 and s95f 2400 nits and 2200 nits.
These are super bright and more than capable of handling a bright room.
It’s full screen sustained brightness that is more important than peak highlights for SDR sports watching in the day imo. They’ll all fall short of what a better LCD can do.
But a G5 or S95F will certainly be fine in a very bright room. Particularly an s95F with that anti-glare tech. They are both very expensive however.
the c5 and s90f are completely fine in a bright room, in fact, i would say these tvs and bright mini leds are just to bright for normal viewing, most people reach for the remote to turn down the backlight on these panels if they want comfortable viewing
OLED burn in is overblown these days, most modern screen refresh cycles are enough to handle anything and it’s really more of an issue with static elements on productivity setups
mayyyyybe if you watch footy 10 hours a day every single day on foxtel you’d have to worry about the logo

I think they will be fine too.
A G5 or S95F will be better.
As will a brighter LCD in the use case of watching sport in a non-light controlled room with lots of large open windows during the day.
IMO at least.
Daylight is hitting way higher nits than any tv.
Anyone had any experience with the Boox Air 4c e ink? I’m thinking of getting one as a electronic note taker and e reader.
Hi all, we are in the final stages of a new house build, I want to upgrade my cheap Kogan mesh system with something of quality.
Double story house
Family of 4
No gaming - but we have several laptops, iPads and 3 TVs (inc Foxtel via NBN and lots of streaming)
My NBN cabinet is in the garage at the front of the house
Have 5 hardwired data points throughout the house
Will be getting a fibre NBN plan 100/20 to start with (possibly up it later on)
Someone on Blitz ages ago suggested a wireless access point. I have no idea where to start as there are tonnes of them. Im not too keen on ceiling mounted ones, but happy to wall mount where it makes sense.
Can anyone recommend a solid WAP?
Ubiquity Unifi

I looked at that one.
Its basically that or going down a Mesh system i.e Google Nest Pro.
The Ubiquity needs a POE injector and I really dont want to stuff around with setup. The plug and play of the Google Nest sounds good - and I can run hardwired as well as wifi off that.
A Google Nest 3 pack seems expensive, I’m also not sure how many Ubiquity I’ll need.
We have Eero, with a wifi extender to my shed.
I have no idea really about it or if it’s any good, but I think they have the ability to do what your after

Electricity plans
Has anyone got OVO?
They look to have a set monthly price on 12 month plan, of around $85-$90 pcm.
- free electricity 11am - 2pm (run all my underfloor heating and EV charging)
- 8c per KW midnight to 6am (heat the bathroom floors)
Then they jack it up to a lot more on month 13.
Seems a decent deal.
