Whats your best and worst purchase of 2024

although a few more good ones are on their way soon to me before the year ends, but the best (and biggest) for me would be the sony 75X90L TV purchased some months back. had done a LOT of head-banging research for a couple of months prior that before settling on it & moving away from a previous plasma to an LED-LCD instead of an OLED. and did even some post-purchase comparisons to reassure myself & finally say, no regrets!

Mine is a similar story. I had an Epson FHD projector in my bedroom for like six years and it was showing its age. I wanted to buy am OLED or miniLED TV close to 100 as my PJ screen is 120 and anything smaller would just not appeal to me. Spent days on researching and comparing but everything was either not releasing in India, too costly or too underwhelming in other specs. Finally, decided to go back to PJs and bought a Benq 4K projector. It's miles better than my old FHD projector and movie-watching at home has become a delight. So yeah, best purchase of the year for me and no regrets.

Best of 2024:
Poco X6 pro. Having used alot of Samsung, little bit of iPhone and then some of Redmi K50i, i wanted a phone with a good Ppi, fast CPU, decent cameras, as my work demands alot of Lighting calculations, selections on my phone itself. 1st time ever i bought a 512GB phone and now i can't look at anything below. No storage concerns in recording 4k videos. Alot of work-related-media on my phone.
Keeping my k50i along as companion makes me use both phones of HyperOs seamlessly

Worst of 2024:
Changed Mercedes GLA tyres to one tiny bit size-up upon really strong recommendation of a shopkeeper. It resulted in RPM-sensors going bad. So ended up again buying normal size tyres from that dealer (another 4k/5k as my upsize tyres were now 2 days used) and new RPM sensors from Mercedes (32k).
(now i am very cautious not to fall for recommendations of item which a shop has in stock, the person might be offloading dead-stock, rather ordering something post-research for item which is not in stock, is better)

Best:
Sennheiser HD490 Pro Headphone

Worst:
Sub-Standard Soldering iron - Destroyed my DT880 Drivers

Which model did you buy?

Bought oled monitor, and absolutely love it. Very large jump in image quality vs previous ips screen.
Not at the cheapest price though, i bought it after price drop and price dropped again.

Also happy that i bought air purifier/sensor and a dehumidifier this year. My winter allergy and asthma symptoms are much reduced for the first time.
So i guess this becomes best purchase, and atleast now i know for sure that increased air pollution in winter causes respiratory issues for me.

Benq TK850i. Wanted to get a new TK710 that is 2024 launch, but it wasn't available anywhere at the time of purchase and I got a pretty good discount on this one.
