For the majority of people, a television set is, well, a televisions set, and while you might notice the weight difference between an LCD and an LED, or perhaps the brightness differences between a plasma and a non-plasma TV, the reality is the majority of people will not know whether they are watching on a great TV versus a phenomenal TV. Prior to receiving the Samsung Series 7 55inch Q7 UHD QLED TV from Samsung Canada, I was using your average Sharp, LED HD TV.

Xenoblade Chronicles Not What I Expected
Xenoblade Chronicles was not the game I was expecting, but after over 10 hours of play time this weekend, I'm pretty happy that I took the plunge and purchased the game. Most of this was thanks to our good friend Abdallah, who has been posting Let's Play's of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on his YouTube channel since last week Friday.

Read MoreXenoblade Chronicles 2 Looks Incredibly Promising on Nintendo Switch
wouldn't say I'm a huge Xenoblade fan, but I was thrust into the franchise when the first title released on the Wii U when our office was sent a copy for review from Nintendo of Canada. This time around, copies of the game were limited - something we completely understand - so it is on us to purchase the game. As I always do when I want to know whether I put money down on a Nintendo title, I head over to our good friend Abdallah's YouTube page - click the banner below to check it out yourself - and see if he has any videos up.
