TV tech has improved a lot over the years, with high-end buyers focused on subtle differentiators like the number of local dimming zones. But if all you’re looking for is a big screen with decent smart features, good visuals, and a low price, the 75-inch LG UR9000 is a great option.

This set is $449.99 (originally $1,099.99) on Woot, a 59% discount and the lowest price it has reached according to price tracking tools. (Remember that Woot only ships to the 48 contiguous states in the U.S. If you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping; otherwise, it’ll be $6.)

The LG UR9000 didn’t exactly win any awards when it was released in 2023 as a slightly higher end budget 4K set. It doesn’t get very bright compared to pricier models, with 516 nits in SDR and 610 in HDR, making watching HDR movies in direct sunlight or very bright rooms a lesser experience. LG also cut costs on the contrast and local dimming features.

However, since this is an IPS panel, the viewing angles are great, which is a plus if you plan to place this massive TV in your living room. It’ll also handle reflections from lamps or lights well. It’s also a good option as a gaming TV or as an oversized computer monitor, as it has a low input lag of 10.4 ms at 1080p with 60Hz.

If size isn’t as important for you as some of the specs this TV lacks, you can spend $50 more for the 65-Inch Hisense U6, which it’s a much better TV according to PCMag’s review. But if you’re someone who games casually, love watching sports, and wants a giant 75-inch screen at a low price, the UR9000 will serve you well.

Google Messages Just Fixed Some Serious Issues With Receiving Photos and Videos

If you’ve been dealing with Google Messages issues—particular with regards to sending photos and videos—you aren’t alone. Messages users are complaining about images that are slow to load when sent via RCS. Media shows up blurry for minutes at a time before users can actually open them. Photos and videos are also arriving compressed, which is something to be expected on SMS, not RCS.

Luckily for those affected, Google has taken notice. In a Tuesday post on the company’s support website, a community manager acknowledged the “frustrating issues” with sending media in Google Messages, and shared some good news: The Google team has been “actively working on this,” and has issued updates dedicated to “significantly improving media receiving performance.”

There doesn’t appear to be a new update to install to solve the issues on the users’ end, which likely indicates these changes are happening behind the scenes on Google’s side. Still, it doesn’t hurt to keep Google Messages itself updated. Head to its Play Store page to make sure you’re running the latest version of the app. If not, you’ll want to hit Update. Hopefully, following all these changes, you’ll shake these media issues for good.

Despite the company’s optimism about the update, the post does suggest the problems here could be complicated. It doesn’t help that Google avoids identifying the specific features in question that they’ve addressed, simply noting them as slowdowns and failures with media. As such, Google encourages users to continue sharing any issues they run into. Whether that means Google knows these particular issues could still be present when sending and receiving media in Google Messages isn’t clear, but it’s good context moving forward.

How to report Google Messages bugs to Google

If after today, you’re still experiencing these media problems, or any issues at all with Google Messages, you should tell Google about them. To do so, open the app, tap your profile icon in the top right, then choose Help & feedback. Tap Send feedback at the bottom of this page, then choose whether you’d like Google Play services to access your device logs. (Choosing not to is fine.) From here, you can write out your feedback, and including screenshots or system logs if you like, before sending the feedback as an email.
