Nice price on what seems to be a good and well reviewed set. Thanks for posting.

The Samsung RU9000, also known as the Samsung 9 Series, is a decent 4k TV. It's well-suited for dark room viewing, as it has a high contrast ratio to produce deep blacks, and it has excellent black uniformity. However, even though it has decent reflection handling, it struggles to overcome glare in bright environments due to its low peak brightness. It has a great response time to deliver fast-moving scenes with minimal motion blur, and it has an optional Black Frame Insertion feature to further improve clarity. Its low input lag makes gaming feel incredibly responsive, and it supports variable refresh rate (VRR) support to help minimize screen tearing. Unfortunately, while it has an impressive color gamut to produce a wide range of colors in HDR, it doesn't get bright enough to make highlights pop and lacks a local dimming feature. Also, its VA panel's sub-par viewing angles make it less ideal for wide seating areas. Like all Samsung TVs, it runs on the great Tizen OS platform, which has tons of streaming services readily available.

Decided to pull the trigger. When I did it said no store had it within 250 miles so I opted for delivery. It gave me a message saying it was not available to be delivered in my area. Can't believe it.

I would buy this if I didn't just bite on the 82" $1299 deal posted not too long ago. Still not sure if I should cancel and get this one. Best bang for the buck for this size right now.

I prefer Sony with Google OS, but I may get this
thank you for any advice!

The attached thread for the LG 75UN8570 is less at $900 (and includes HDMI 2.1), but I prefer the Samsung's performance/specs as they better meet my needs.

BB actually deliver tvs themselves with there own trucks and employees (to offer installation) , so if the store near you is oos, they can't deliver it. That's how I received my last tv from them and prefer it that way

Excellent deal. I own it.

No Dolby vision is a big bummer for movies however.

All movies on Netflix, Apple 🍎 TV And Amazon look worse than LG

Dolby vision has become the standard for movies and I didn't know this TV doesn't support it and never will.

Sad

Bottom line it's a great deal as long as you don't ever watch movies.

Egr445 and Swhan4 and Karin I will message you pictures of my unit running gray screen tests.

πŸ§€ cheers πŸ₯‚
