What's the most cost-effective way (that isn't piracy) to watch 4K content on my new C6H?

I have a C6H coming on Monday and I’m trying to figure out the best, most cost-effective way to actually take advantage of the TV’s picture quality.

I have maybe 10–20 4K Blu-rays, and I’m assuming those will give me the highest possible fidelity. However, I don’t really have the money or space to keep building a large physical collection, at least for now. I checked my local library, but unfortunately they only lend DVDs.

I see Apple TV recommended a lot. I already own an Apple TV 4K, so I’m wondering if people mean the Apple TV hardware or the Apple TV streaming/rental service. I’m open to renting movies, but I’m not particularly interested in Apple’s original content.

For example, if I rent a movie that supports 4K Dolby Vision on Apple TV, say The Dark Knight, is it basically just a matter of renting it and watching, or are there settings I need to change to make sure I’m actually getting 4K + Dolby Vision? What happens with movies that don’t have a 4K/Dolby Vision version, especially older films? Does the Apple TV automatically give me the highest-quality version available?

More broadly, what do you guys recommend for getting the most out of a C6H without spending a fortune on physical media? I’m especially interested in the best bang-for-the-buck options for watching movies in 4K HDR/Dolby Vision, including rentals, streaming services, digital purchases, library options, etc.

I bought this TV primarily for gaming on my Switch 2 and because I want to start watching more movies at home. I currently have a tiny 50" TV, so I’ve generally preferred going to the theater rather than watching movies at home. With the C6H, I’m hoping the experience will be good enough that I’ll actually want to watch more movies at home.

I’d love to hear how other C6H/OLED owners approach this, especially if there are any cheap or overlooked ways to get high-quality 4K content.

Any partner store discount codes?

Trying to get a 77” C6H. $2,199 is already a pretty good deal with the free soundbar, installation, Rinse credits, and $200 Fanatics gift card, but I’d love to snag a 10% off code before pulling the trigger. Anyone have one they’re willing to share?

MSI 272URX or ASUS XG27UQDMS?

Both are the same price. From my research, they seem nearly identical except the MSI has DP2.1, USB-C video and KVM. But ASUS has better OLED care and the proximity sensor. I've never had experience with either brand and I'm curious if others have input on which one they'd go for.

How does my SleepHQ data look?

There are a few different CPAP subs, and I wasn't sure which one would be the best fit for this, so please redirect me if this kind of post isn't appropriate here.

I've been on CPAP for about 3–4 months now and use it religiously every night. I feel generally better than I did before starting, although I wouldn't say it's turned me into a completely new person or anything.

Early on, I put an SD card in my ResMed to start recording my sleep data, but, like a lot of people, I have absolutely no idea how to interpret most of it. I came across SleepHQ and have been looking at the data there. My Vitality score is usually around 97–100, which I assume is a good thing?

For a little background, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, got a secondhand ResMed AirSense 10 and an extra mask from a family member, and basically just started using it. I've left it on the default settings since then, and apparently got pretty lucky with a nasal pillow mask that works really well for me.

So, is there anything in the data that stands out or suggests I should change anything, or does everything look good enough that I should just keep doing what I'm doing? Appreciate any help!

Looking for advice on financing two large purchases: Best Buy card vs. other 0% APR cards

I have two large purchases coming up: a computer monitor and a new TV. I was initially looking at the My Best Buy Credit Card because I could get 18-month financing for the monitor and 24-month financing for the TV.

However, before opening a store card, I wanted to see if there are better options. Are there any general-purpose credit cards currently offering a similar 0% purchase APR period plus a worthwhile SUB that would make more sense than the Best Buy card?

Ideally, I would like:

  • 0% APR for at least 12 to 18 months, preferably longer
  • A SUB that provides some additional value compared to the Best Buy card
  • No annual fee
  • A high enough credit limit to handle the purchases
  • Preferably a card I could continue using after the 0% period rather than a store-specific card

My current cards are:

  • Capital One Savor
  • Citi Double Cash
  • Discover It
  • Apple Card

My credit score is around 770.

For spending, I spend a lot on entertainment, dining, and travel (I do want a travel CC eventually, but that's probably worth another post some time down the line). I also have a Sam's Club membership, Amazon Prime, and Verizon internet/mobile.

I would prefer to stay away from business cards.

Would you take the Best Buy financing, or is there a better card strategy I am overlooking?

Anyone know the price of this Chicago exclusive pin?

I haven't seen other city-specific pins, so I think this may be the first? I know the pin set is $50 (woof), is this similarly priced?

[Wanted] The Neal Morse Band - The Similitude of a Dream 2LP/2CD, Rose Gray - Louder, Please LP (Signed)

I just paid $180 for a mint condition copy of The Similitude of a Dream 2LP/2CD on Discogs, but I'm a little paranoid that the order might get canceled, so I figured I'd see if anyone here has a copy they'd be willing to part with for around the same price or less, just in case.

I've already combed through Discogs, and I know it's a pretty elusive vinyl, so I'm not expecting much, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

While I'm at it, I'm also looking for a signed copy of Rose Gray's Louder, Please. That's probably an even bigger long shot, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

My apartment has an enormous window in the living room that has a shade that doesn't block light very well. Any ideas for a non-handyman on how to darken this window using minimal tools?

I have a roughly 9-foot-wide window in my apartment and I’m looking for a blackout solution. I’m a complete novice with tools, and since I live alone, the idea of DIYing a rod across a 9-foot span feels pretty intimidating.

I’ve considered hiring someone on TaskRabbit to install a rod, but I wanted to see if there are simpler, non-permanent alternatives I might be missing. I’ve looked into blackout films, but cutting them perfectly for a window this large seems like a recipe for disaster.

One major constraint: my lease states that any drapes or shades I install "must be lined in white and present a uniform exterior appearance."

Has anyone tackled a wide window like this without drilling? Any product recommendations that are easy to install, renter-friendly, and meet the white-exterior requirement? Thanks in advance!

I know the tour has just started, but is he meeting fans after the shows?

The few photos I've seen have been him taking pictures with fans from above. Does he actually come meet people individually too or not do that anymore?

What's the best place to park at Merriweather Post Pavilion that will let me leave the fastest?

I've seen some posts about this on the sub already but wanted to ask again just for the most up to date information. My group will probably be getting there after gates open. I see a bunch of garages on the website but am concerned we will have to park high up and will be stuck waiting to get out for a while after the show. What's the best place that will still have spots available after gates open to avoid this?

Thanks!

Any recommendations for acoustic/electric guitar lessons in the area?

I started playing a decade ago when I was entering high school, but I've forgotten almost everything except for basic chords. I would really like to relearn the instrument and improve my skills on both acoustic and electric guitar. Does anyone have recommendations for good, patient, and personable teachers in my area? I'm based in Laurel and would aim to attend lessons once a week or every other week. I am skeptical about going through a large music school or a guitar shop because my previous lessons were with an independent teacher my parents found through Facebook, but I'm ultimately open to anything.

Thanks!

[USA-MD] [H] Like-New 2023 Apple MacBook Pro 16” (M3 Pro, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD) – Only 11 Battery Cycles [W] Local Cash

Timestamps

Local is 20701; I can meet in the DMV area (DC/Baltimore/Annapolis/Virginia/Maryland) at a local police station or bank. I strongly prefer cash, but can also do PayPal G&S, and am trying to avoid shipping for the time being.

Looking for: $1,600 local cash

I bought this MacBook Pro in 2023 thinking I’d use it a lot more, but it’s honestly just been sitting on my shelf in the box. It’s been used extremely lightly (only 11 battery cycles) and is in excellent condition. The screen is flawless, the body is super clean, and it feels like a brand new machine. The only thing worth noting is a couple very small marks on the bottom, which I’ve included in the photos.

Specs:

  • 36 GB RAM
  • 1 TB SSD
  • M3 Pro chip

Comes with:

  • Original box
  • Charger and cable
  • All original packaging

I’ve kept everything in great shape, and it’s been stored safely in its box since I bought it. I just don’t use it nearly enough to justify keeping it. Happy to answer any questions or provide more photos.

A list of all the songs played on the Fifty Something tour so far, and some brief analysis.

Bolded songs have been consistent across the first two nights, and have a high likelihood of being present across all nights.

  1. Xanadu
  2. Limelight
  3. Subdivisions
  4. Freewill
  5. The Spirit of Radio
  6. Bravado
  7. 2112
    • Night 2 had the full song (all seven movements) played. If the band counts these as individual songs (which I'm personally doubtful of), that would bring the total number of songs they have played up to this point to 38.
  8. Red Barchetta
  9. Time Stand Still
  10. YYZ
  11. Tom Sawyer
  12. Working Man
  13. Far Cry
  14. Caravan
  15. La Villa Strangiato
  16. Vital Signs
  17. Distant Early Warning
  18. Dreamline
  19. Natural Science
  20. Red Sector A
  21. The Garden
  22. By-Tor & The Snow Dog
  23. The Analog Kid
  24. Leave That Thing Alone
  25. The Trees
  26. Headlong Flight
  27. Closer to the Heart
  28. Animate
  29. A Passage to Bangkok
  30. Anthem
  31. Witch Hunt
  32. Finding My Way

Albums not yet represented: Caress of Steel, Power Windows, Presto, Test for Echo, Vapor Trails

Most rare songs: Full version of 2112 (first time since 1997), By-Tor & The Snow Dog (first time since 2004), A Passage to Bangkok (first time since 2008), The Trees (first time since 2008)

If we assume 2112 is counted as one song, there are 6-8 songs remaining that will be unveiled on nights three and four. Any ideas what they could be? Of this pool of songs, what would your dream setlist look like?
