    Valerion Pro 2 - any thoughts?

    You can ask about ex-demo or open box units. I ended up getting the Sony for £3500.

    Valerion Pro 2 - any thoughts?

    You need to demo the projector. I was keen on the Optoma UHZ65LV and had demoed it alongside Sony VPL-W5000ES at Richer Sounds and it was a no contest. The Sony was far superior with true cinematic effect. They had open box Sony units for cheaper so I ended up getting the Sony.. I won't worry...

    News Disabling Direct Messages in the forums

    Nobody is exempt obviously. There's a key difference between Facebook whose platform is the bread and butter and it already has mechanisms to deal with it (it's a different matter that it isn't effective enough) and a forum like WHF that isn't the core business component of Future group.

    News Disabling Direct Messages in the forums

    83-inch OLED £1999 plus £250 gift card at John Lewis with price match

    Annoying Forum traits

    Forums didn't exist during Blockbuster days. I remember I used to ask the shopkeeper of my local video library to recommend any new films that have come in..... probably more so because you know the video quality of a new VHS tape will be pristine. 🙂
