Reply to comment by pissedoffcalifornian in LG G3 OLED evo 4K TV: 70% brighter, no visible wall gap by maki23
The G1 was a pain. When I installed mine, I basically calculated and measured out where the hdmi would connect in relation to the tv’s borders and marked all studs. Cut my hole to ensure the plate was right behind where the a/v wires would connect and was lucky enough to not have a stud where I wanted my hole. For the power I used a power bridge with a recessed outlet and also made sure it would line up with some part of the recessed track on the rear panel. The plates for the power outlet and a/v wires would have pushed the tv away from the wall but thankfully I had put some shiplap here and so I cut out more of the wood around the plates so they were flush to the sheet rock instead of the wood. I ran the tv’s power cable up the wire track on the rear panel to line up with my outlet and secured it along with any extra slack. Before the tv went flush, I popped the hdmi cables in place , plugged the power in and pushed it completely flat. So the cables and power sort of come off the tv directly into their respective hole (one power and one av wall plate).
The right way to have really done it would have been to get a recessed box and just make one big cutout behind the back of the set. But what I did worked out well and it looks super clean on the wall, and sits flush.

Mostly sounds like an all-in-one computer design that you can change out the computer part of. The main cited reason why the all-in-one computer design failed is to change out one part you had to change out it all as everything was to integrated with each other.
Mount your workstation to the back of it and you can have a wire free desk so you can use said space for other work stuff. For example a physical note book to jut down notes about the tasks you are doing that you might need later. Days, weeks or even months later having them on a physical paper is better. Depending on the job it could be good for the main monitor for a business conference room to connect to a remote business conference room.
For the end consumer uses i cannot think of any that have a 32-inch 6k monitor with a USB 4 input hub for 4 USB 3 ports then with the webcam separate from it would not be better.

Best Buy C2 with 5yr geek squad is still cheaper. 65” C2 through Greentoe including 5yr warranty with burn-in coverage was even wayyyy cheaper than BB and way cheaper than buying a G2.

This is true about every technology. CD players, VCRs, DVD players, cell phones, laptops, etc. EVERY technology is expensive and bulky and limited at first. And then it’s not. And suddenly everyone has it and the cycle starts anew. You sound like a fifth grader who has never seen a single product cycle in their life.

I’m confused. Isn’t how close it is to the wall totally dependent on the mount you use?

It's more pleasant to your eyes in your imagination or if you're sitting 2 inches away from the screen.

Are they going to use QD-OLED on the G3 or will they still stick with the WOLED's.

> VR has been around for a while now, if it was going to take off it would have by now.
VR products have had a shelf life of 6 1/2 years or 8 1/2 years if you want to count the couple of years that VR existed in the 1990s.
That's not long at all in the tech world. The average hardware shift takes 15 years of products being on shelves.

It's just how VR/AR goes. The tech is much more cutting edge/expensive than smartwatches/smartphones were at their hardest.
Eventually, we'll see far better products at 10% of the price, but it has to start somewhere.

Because tech advancement is one half of the coin. Now they’re working on what works best for people to actually adopt as a useful wearable.

When was the last time you saw someone say “I’d buy it if it was thinner”?
Thinner means expensive. They keep doing things nobody’s asking for to maintain price premiums.

Then why not release both types of goggles, if the tech is there already?…

Like for the power, did you run the power cable behind the wall too? Or did you install an outlet behind the TV? Because the main issue I’ve come across which has made me hesitant to put an outlet behind the TV, is even with that there, the cable may push the TV away from the wall, depending on how small or big that outlet is.

Because you don’t seem to understand that technology had to catch up to the concept. Now it has, and so VR/AR is something that’s a viable concept for wearable tech.

What do you mean like the amount of cables?

What set up did you use back there? Because online it seems like a 50/50 on if you can actually get it flush with some set ups

Technology has been advancing to the point where something like this is viable.
