Nice HOH. LCD or LED. Samsung is pretty darn good at both.
Seems like LED has richer tones and overall colors.

Unless you are talking about OLED TVs, so called LED TVs also use a LCD. LEDs are just used for the backlight instead of fluorescent light in non LED LCD TV..

Yep, I already know that.

^Well, then I don't why you would say LED has richer tones and overall colors. Since both LEDs and LCD really use LCD to display images there would not be any difference in either (provided they use same quality of LCD). All LED backlights allow is localized dimming, so if a scene has both bright areas and dark areas, you can locally dim the LED backlights in the dark area to artificially boost contrast (what TV marketing types like to misleadingly call 'dynamic contrast').

LED. Only issue I have is that won't stay connected to wifi. I keep getting an error message so I'm using my ethernet cord right now so I can use the Smart TV apps/internet.

lOl, you should not have to use the ethernet cord on such a hi-end tv. Open your settings menu (wi-fi settings) on the TV and try manually entering in the wi-fi code from the remote making sure each number is correct. The code should be at the bottom of your wi-fi box. You might have missed one number, which would cause a disconnection. Let me know if this works out for you.

What are you talking about? There is no 'code' at the bottom your 'wifi box'. What you need is network SSID and the WEP/WPA password (provided encryption is enabled and it hopefully is) - neither of which is at the 'bottom of a box'. And unless he has SSID broadcast tured off the TV or any other wireless device will automatically pick up the SSID and all you need to enter is the WEP/WPA password.

Oh I have tried everything. No mistakes were made. Unfortunately it seems to be an issue with Samsung once I did some research. I'll probably try tech support in the near future. I still use the stand instead of the wall mount so it's not a major issue right now.

True. That is what's so weird is that it picks up the wireless signal and I enter the password and it connects. Then once I try to use an app (Netflix, HBOGO, Facebook etc) or connect to the browser it comes up with an error.

Try updating the software for the TV. I personally use the Ethernet cable. It's faster and rarely do I get an interruption.

So true, I never have connection problems using the ethernet cable.

I have updated the software, but it still has the same issue.

In reality, people screw up in cars with manual transmissions, but in my case, the auto has decided to screw me and failed to start the engine for no reason and they say automatics are the future

Try setting the radio channel manually instead of auto, this was my last option and final cure for connecting via wifi (Iphone, PS3, ipad etc...)

I just bought this cool @ss M65 military style jacket. It`s 100% cotton so I can wear it in Spring season.
Goes really well with black jeans and sneakers!

Corsair AX860 pus, the last item on my computer shopping list for now.

^Like the all black interior, reminds me of my build from many years ago .

Spent shit load of time sleeving all those cables and I dont even have time to use it any more . Other funny part is, the case is the most expensive part in the whole system. The way I figured only part that will probably not become obsolete.

Since this must be the forum , where we can mention the model cars?

Since my interruption on the hallowed S-Klasse forum I have received PMs about the 1/18 Rolls-Royce Ghost by Kyosho , so I will go into detail I have two models exclusive to Rolls-Royce in Lunar Blue with Silver Satin bonnet and single coach line and Darkest Tungsten.

The detail is off the wall , everything that works in the actual car , be it armrests , fold-Down tables even the pop-Out umbrellas are there finished in a interior that completes every intricate detail, chrome , Art Deco frosted glass , wood and leather are individually beautifully replicated. Every aperture opens including a highly detailed V12 engine.

Here is the exclusive RR edition in Lunar Blue.

Arch rival to the S-Klasse of course is the BMW 760Li which Kyosho produce only for Asia , well China as they are the BMW Individual 760Li CHINA 60 years edition.
The two colours presented Citrine Black and Moonstone are exclusively produced in 1/18 and exclusively available in Asia only. I had the Citrine Black but I picked up the Moonstone when I was recently in China.

My next RR edition remains under wraps for now as size is very much an issue with this one.
