Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

Finally ordered an impact wrench I can bring to the track so I can stop sweating my balls off.

I had a horrible experience with LG waaaaay back in the day when LEDs were brand new, maybe ten or more years ago. The blacks were absolutely horrible so the screen would auto dim when there was a lot of black. It kept dimming and brightening and I couldn't turn it off. I hated it, just a garbage tv. My new 4k LG monitor, however, has been very good so far, so maybe LG has redeemed themselves.

Shadow detail, and peak brightness are also underwhelming aspects of OLED.

However, off axis viewing, and contrast are exceptional.

I'm not outright arguing with you, but I think the risk may be extremely low:

I'm in the industry and have intimate experience with image retention. No way I'd be playing the same video game, or watching a news channel for extended periods (hours) or you'll leave a mark on an OLED. For many this isn't an issue, but I can't say I'm willing to rule this out of my personal usage. I can think of at least a half-dozen industry retailers/installers I know using a burned-in OLED they took out of a job for an extra display in their back office. This is a prevalent issue.

Attached are personal images I saved for instances like this where people think image retention really isn't something to think about. To put it simply, it is a real issue. Manage your viewing.

Fortunately I don’t play video games and CNBC is only on the cheap LCD in my office during the day. The only significant risk to the LG would be leaving Apple TV on the home screen with no one watching but we usually turn off TVs when no one is watching and use a screen saver with the Apple TV in case we stop watching but forget to turn it off.

When we got the plasma 14 years ago, we also heard about potential burn in and plasma’s losing gas such that they wouldn’t last long. But it has served us well.

Yup - definitely acknowledged. For reference, the Sony A8H has a "Panel Refresh" function that allegedly clears out these ghost images. It's not recommended to perform this function more than once per year, and only if hours upon hours of static image viewing is prevalent.
I notice that your ghost images seem to be taken from a curved TV, so this may be an older model more prone to this anomaly?

Really impressed with this! Exceeded my expectations...

Great example of why I'm a Diesel whore. Nobody does worn better. These new D-Strukt (style 069PT) are 🔥! The military green will slide right into my nearly all-black wardrobe nicely.

Love me some Wera tools! It's a shame work won't spring for Wera for me.

I had a few different ratcheting drivers and had dislikes about each of them, and with Wera having such great reviews I figured I would give it a try. I really like it so far with no gripes yet!

The 18v router was because I was an idiot and forgot my 1/4" collet for my corded one when at a friends house building something I needed to put a chamfer on, and Home Depot was really close

I think you'll be hard pressed to find dislikes about the Wera stuff. I have a handful of items that I've been gifted, by sales people and tools of theirs that I've won at trade shows. I wish I had more. I wish I had the need to buy more so I could justify the spend. Their Joker series ratchet wrenches are the business.

Just noticed the router is cordless, nice!

I just bought some cobra pliers (Knipex) a while ago due to similar levels of reviews. I just don't use wrenches enough to justify $180 per set of Joker wrenches!

I'm a big Knipex fan too. Their insulated stuff is great! Those Germans.....

I'm in the same boat for the Jokers. Would love to have a set, just can't justify it.

As far as car stuff I ordered some DEPO blacklines

Home Depot is running a crazy sale on this Werner 22' ladder, so I sold my 6+ year old 17' Little Giant for $75 and bought this instead!
