    Default Is anyone watching out for Black Friday?

    I just noticed that so-called Black Friday is coming up at the end of this week. I know that some people don’t like it, and it’s commercialism run riot, but sometimes there are bargains to be had, and sometimes some good stuff.

    Anyone looking out for it? If so, what?

    In the past some TV subscription channels have been very cheap - and worth a punt. Example - NowTV.

    Any other tips?
    Dave

    If there's something you need while the deals are on then it can work out well.

    I don't get all this fighting in the supermarket ailes for a shite telly they probably don't need anyway and will possibly try to sell at a later date.

    Hotukdeals are handy to keep up with all best deals.

    I need a projector screen but not sure if this is top of the black Friday makers list of stuff to discount but you never know.

    Don't see the point in getting involved with Black Friday deals. A lot of the gear is bulk bought cheapo stuff obtained just for the sales, plus end of range items, re-packed returns and 'B' grade bits.

    I seldom pay full whack for anything anyway and get decent deals all year round. I enjoy a haggle.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I want to change my telly as it's developed the dreaded Samsung magenta noise, large purple blobs on the screen which means the LED array is failing. I'll look for a Black Friday deal but many retailers have good deals anyway.

    Ian, if you have no joy with Black Friday, I would recommend trying Richer Sounds for a telly. They have a fair bit of "open box/clearance" items, and they are nice people to deal with.

    I'm surprised no one has come along to tell us we can't call it Black Friday any more, and that it's now "Day of Colour".
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    I'm after a couple of Amazon Echo Show 5 devices to use as an alarm clock in our bedroom and one in the kitchen for general stuff including video doorbell. I got the kids one each on Prime Day when they were down to £50 from £80 - so hoping they will come down to that again. They sound surprisingly good for their size, and if you're into the whole Alexa thing, remarkable what "skills" are available now and what you can use them for. I'm not bothered about the privacy rubbish - if someone wants to sift through recordings from our house hoping for something interesting they'll be sorely disappointed!

    Cheers Steve, Richer Sounds are great, never had a duff experience with them. They have a nice 4K Panasonic smart TV at a very good price so that's probably the one I'll go for.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
