A few unknowns on this one though:
1) Will yamaha do the board swap for refurbs?
2) Does the 24gbps HDMI 2.1 have limitations over the 40gbps that most others are offering?
but it is not really a deal breaker because you can circumvent this by connecting to TV first and have eARC for sound?

24Gbps will allow 4k/120 10bit at 4:2:0.
All HDMI 2.1 tvs are 40Gbps now (well the C9 is full 48Gbps..but the last 8Gbps doesnt really have practical use in 4k..does in 8k though)
Today the XSX/RTX/AMD are capable of 40Gbps or 4k/120 10bit RGB (4:4:4).
Today the PS5 is capable of 32Gbps or 4k/120 10bit 4:2:2; Sony has stated that new HDMI 2.1 features are coming including 40Gbps support.
Normally Chroma subsampling isn't a huge deal, but where it does make a difference is in fine details, particularly in the background. Subsampling essentially adds a bit of blur. Say what you want about the new systems/cards; but where they excel today is in boosting the fine details; subsampling essentially takes some of that detail resolution away.
Heres an example of the differences in quality on a real image between the different chromas :
Fwiw- Costso was selling these new for $330 earlier this year.
Hopefully I got all of the dirty words cleaned out of that message to my brother. I was gonna jump on this. Any $350 or cheaper recivers out there? Bluetooth a plus but not a deal killer just need 5.1 + for the bedroom. Not begging here but unemployed so no longer in the good reciver market
Always 2Y behind the present-day technology! We screwed ourselves by purchasing an RX-V685, with no connectivity!
- No bluetooth!
- No Wifi!
- No HDMI 2 / HDCP / No 4K!
Always obsolete before they even show up at Costco!
7.1 Channels of pure unadulterated can't-use-it-for-anything !!

That said, this TSR-700 seems to have been a bit of a turd, so I would wait for the next Yamaha Costco model if you can. I also dislike the lack of physical buttons on the 700 and hope they revert this on future models.
