At the risk of being supercilious, one thing I'd remind peeps is that if you ordered a TV and it has shipped, it's not very nice to cancel the order because you changed your mind and decided you wanted something else. I see some people say they'll just wait until it arrives and then refuse delivery. Hey jokers, these are not smartphones - shipping a TV across country costs $100's of dollars. If you can't see the problem from a pure decency point of view, at least understand that generating costs like this on Samsung will mean they'll have to increase prices to cover the dick-wads who f' them around, and that hits all of us.

Goodnight.

What is their "TV Upgrade program"? Do they take TV trade-ins? I couldn't find reference to this on the TV page.

Personally, I'd take a 77inch LG OLED over an 85inch qled. At that size it really isn't such a huge difference.


I used a 92 inch projection screen, then an 82 inch high power screen, and now a 100 inch screen. Size matters, even at large sizes. That being said, going from 92 to 82 was a huge upgrade for me because of picture quality. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

OLED picture quality is simply unmatched. If you are going to spend $3000 on a tv, get the best. 77 is still huge.

Edit: mask up and spend five minutes in a tv store comparing these TVs. OLED is the best picture quality I've ever seen.
Edit: so many thumbs down. Don't go to Best Buy, go to a high-if store. You can't really compare these TVs on the internet. Rtings comparison clearly suggests the oled is a better tv. I link to it in the post below this one. This is a $3000 purchase and you are looking on slickdeals. I'd check out OLED in person if you haven't seen it before, before spending $3000 on a tv. It's better if you can demo at a friends house, but not everyone has that luxury.

I'm so torn between buying this one or going for the LG OLED GX 77". Any suggestions?
You asked as I was typing up this exact comparison. Oled all the way.

Interesting that when buying tablets yesterday it never asked to verify the Education Discount - but is asking today for the TV's. Oh well, guess I really didn't need it.

Pricing on these are so odd.

For 3 grand get a 77" OLED or a 120" UST with ALR screen.

If this was 2 grand you would have something to think about.

Solid deal. But those TVs are extremely fragile. Think twice if you have a naughty pet. I finally get a projector

Does the cancel trick work to get another $100 off?

I would highly encourage you to look at reviews on rtings.com if you haven't already. That said, it really depends on your needs. Both the Q90 and the LG OLED's are fantastic and would do nearly anyone well. These devices are Flagships and can do pretty much everything well. I personally would rather have an LG OLED, be it C or G line but I have a very dark room and will largely be using the TV for gaming.

I think the general consensus is that If you have a bright room or will be using the TV where there is moderate ambient light, the Q90 might (literally) outshine any OLED simply due to brightness limitations of the technology. In most other ways the OLED is superior, even if only marginally so. The extra 8 inches of real estate you gain with the Samsung actually does make a noticeable difference to me, but this is incredibly subjective and will vary from person to person.

In my honest opinion, something like a tech store is not really a viable way of determining quality as there are sooooo many variables, such as different content being played, unknown and uncalibrated settings, unrepresentative environmental conditions, etc. My friend has a G-line OLED and it looks SIGNIFICANTLY better than the exact same size and model that the local Best Buy has.

All that said, this deal is particularly interesting to me because of the Financing options. Having 48 months (!) to break the cost down over is quite incredibly motivating. Whatever you go with, good luck and enjoy!

did you really just say mask up to go into a store to compare tv's? I guess covid is just waiting to pounce on people in electronics.

Combine this with 10% cash back from that website and another 10% from Capitol one (YMMV) and 2.5 from GPay.
Can you DM these sites you are referring to? I'd love to buy this TV if I can stack the cash back offers.
