Don't pay for a Samsung with poor black levels. Your much better off with Amazon's current Hisense H9G for $500 for their current sale on the 55 inch

I don't know if it's necessary, but the prestige of HDMI 2.1 is a plus at any refresh rate.

HDMI EARC on 2.1 for more sound profiles such as uncompressed surround sound is the only reason I can think of.

I'll second this. Far higher contrast, brightness and local dimming for the same price, it's a huge jump in image quality.

Got a u8g for gaming; otherwise a bigger h9g would have been my pick.

Replacing an old 55" TV currently mounted with https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=5916. Are these old mounts compatible with this type of TV? I see mini/VESA/slim-fit compatibility but wasn't sure if these are replacing old mounts completely or if the screw holes are still universal. TIA.

God I miss when eBay didn't charge tax, it was the main reason I shopped on there.
