fair, but a lot of the 'extreme' deals are outliers, of limited utility. I've been in the market for a new TV for several months now, really not having any luck. Was all set to pull the trigger on a 65" u7k but they went out of stock on Costco. They didn't come back in until the day after the sale ended and it's only gone up in price since then. If you have any general advice about finding some of the better electronics deal discords / telegrams out there I'd love to hear it.
Honestly probably your best bet is to order online and have it shipped. I know it's risky. I found the tv I wanted on an eBay seller sold a ton of Samsung. I too was nervous but decided to do it. Have had the tv over a month now works fine was fine out of the box. I saved a few hundred dollars as well. It was the Samsung s90c incase anyone wanted to assume I bought a low budget one.

Thanks, I am tempted to do this... At this moment it's not available for delivery in my zip code though. It was $749 a couple days ago and now back to 799. Officially costco's price adjustment policy is 30 days, though onofficially I've heard they'll go up to 90 days as a 1 time 'courtesy'. I know it's only a couple hundred $ but it just kills me to buy something I could have gotten cheaper, I'm sure many here can identify with this sentiment! But also I'm somewhat curious to see what TCL's new QM7 is going to come at, supposedly it's going to be as good if not better than the current QM8 and U8K.
Is this optimal for those playing only games that cap at 60 fps?
From RTINGS:
" The Samsung CU7000 is decent for gaming. It has incredibly low input lag, so there's no delay between the inputs on your controller and the action on the screen. It also has a good response time, so there's minimal blur behind quick movements on screen. The TV supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) that switches your TV into Game Mode when launching a game, but it doesn't support any advanced gaming features like variable refresh rate and is limited to HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.
PROS
Good low resolution upscaling.
Fast-moving action is crisp, especially in bright scenes.
Incredibly low input lag in game mode.
CONS
Doesn't get very bright.
Limited to 60Hz and has no VRR support."
Wouldn't call it optimal but for the price you could do worse.
My buddy just bought the 58" version for under 150 via a discord group notification
Interesting to see this TV pop up right now. There's some kind of exploit involving them, I think--a bunch came up in my local markets for very cheap over a week ago. Different sizes, too.
I thought it was people pawning off their BOGO samsung sets w/purchase of a 2024 model, but these were 7000 series which weren't part of the promotion.
We don't have a BJ's within 2k miles so I wonder where they were coming from.
Even some commercial panels require wifi to setup for the first time. Maybe that wifi requirement is fine at most people's homes, but in some environments, it's totally plausible there's the TV is airgapped. Such as being used in a garage or cabin without network connectivity of any kind.
A friend's TV that's "smart" gave a massive popup the other day, saying pretty much "AGREE TO THESE NEW TERMS OR ELSE". Turns out they were forcing broad-reaching arbitration and a few more data collection policies. She could not "refuse" said agreement. So if you ever wanted to sue that company, you can't -- even if it wasn't related to the TV. This is the world we live in now, apparently.
I've started buying a few spare older TVs at yard sales & estate sales. For $20-50, I can get a perfectly usable 1080p display that doesn't need anything more than an HDMI cable.
