Slickdeals Golden Rule: Don't call to verify price!!! If not you're gonna ruin this awesome price
I bought this TV earlier for the $2250 price and I am 100% happy with the quality of images. I have a rather bright family room and this TV is just great in the room. Sure I wish I got it for the current $1960 price, but I'm done wheel'n and deal'n for a big screen TV.... I'm just enjoying it now. Thank you SlickDeal members for posting about this TV !
It's a stretch to call them clowns for saying that. You are brazenly extorting them, they knew it and played along. I mean do what you will to get a deal, but they are clowns to offer 10% back in the first place, not for telling you it can't stack.

Quote from MaroonHeart6018 :
I ordered this TV on May 28th. Initially it showed a delivery date of June 9th. Then the delivery got pushed to June 16th. I was sent a link to schedule a delivery from AGS. I had a delivery window of of Jun 16th 1-5 PM, so I sat at home waiting for my new Toy. Alas, they never showed up or called or emailed and now the status on Samsungs order site says "unexpected delay we don't have a delivery date for you at this point"

Contacted Samsung support and they told me to contact AGS directly Mad

In retrospect, I am never going to order from Samsung.com, the discount is not worth the hassle I have had to endure. My time and peace of mind is worth a lot more than a few hundred bucks I (supposedly) saved
In a similar boat, ordered last week with original delivery date for 6/30, then got the unexpected delay with "we do not have a delivery date for you at this time" email. Have you gotten any updates?

I originally ordered back in may once this deal was posted. The first tv was canceled before it got to me, ags crushed it in transit. Had to reorder and have them reapply the discount after it shipped, the reorder arrived yesterday with some wear on the box, but tv was in great condition. Ags, told me yesterday morning that the delivery was getting pushed back to next week, but it showed up yesterday regardless.

This whole cancel/reorder & shipping logistics mess is somewhat comical on how inefficient this whole process is. It is almost as if Samsung is ran by the gov't. In the end, got a great tv at a good price.

I have just a couple more days left for my retuen window
I feel the price difference is very close , little over $120 for now during July 4 Sale with Costco for 65X90CK.. Added with extra warrenty and peace of mind.
I had a tough time connecting with customer care/support teams for the past few weeks.
Going further I dont know how worse it can be if any I face any issue during warranty period.
Unless there is a huge price difference, I see no point to deal with this kind of headach

Please suggest and share your thoughts on Sony X90K, 2022 model compared to Samsung QN90A. 2021 model.
If price is not a factor, I prefer buying from Costco over Samsung.

Disclaimer that I have not seen the X90K in person, or compared it to the QN90A side by side.

I got the 85 QN90A to replace my 65B8 OLED, and overall it is a much better experience. If your seating position is more than 6 feet away from the TV, 85 is an entirely different league than 65. With prevalent modern LED technologies like FALD, mini-LED, micro-LED etc, as long as you have some kind of local dimming, the image WILL look relatively good on a TV, and the difference between good TVs and the best TVs is not that noticeable unless you put them side by side. Compared to image quality, the size difference between a 65 and an 85 is honestly the most immediately noticeable improvement. But if your seating position is within 6 feet of the TV, I'd suggest getting a 65. I tried sitting closer to my 85 and it was a bit overwhelming.

Regarding the X90CK, personally I don't think that price is very good. Yes you get the whole Costco package, but you likely won't get a great deal on current model years. For example, the same model from last year is a much better value: https://www.costco.com/sony-65%22-class---x90cj-series---4k-uhd-led-lcd-tv---allstate-3-year-protect... [costco.com]

If you are okay without HDMI 2.1, my recommendation for the 65inch size is the 65A1 OLED: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-6...Variations You can even get cheaper ones by buying open box through Bestbuy. That's how I got mine a few years ago and I have had zero issues with the TV. I'm seeing ~$800 for an open box excellent 65A1, which is an unbeatable price for what it is. Oftentimes you can also talk to the manager of the store to get more discounts cuz they're trying hard to get rid of stock this time of the year. Even if you pay out of pocket for Geeksquad protection it is going to be much better than the X90CK

I have a Sony 90h in my bedroom that I got a couple years ago from Costco, now this Samsung. Both have incredible pq, but there is no way I am using the smart apps from Samsung. The ui is the most frustrating I have ever used. What was Samsung thinking?? Thankfully I have a Nvidia shield for the Samsung. I had a second shield that I used on the Sony, but was redundant, so I sold it and just using Sony's built in android tv

Has anyone dealt with Samsung Care for a repair before? I have a tech scheduled to come to my house Friday. I just called the Samsung Care number to verify, and the (halfway across the world) rep insisted the tech would fix the TV at my house. But I think the whole panel is bad. If it's a major problem , what's the process? Thanks for any info. Really irritated at this whole disaster. Oh well, the good ol' HiSense 65U9F is doing its job (like it always has) in the meantime. So much for "name brand"…
I believe that's how it's supposed to work. they send out a tech and repair on site if it is possible.

I'm getting used to the remote. The tv source select isn't a problem for me, I don't ever plan on changing it from hdmi3 from my receiver. I don't believe there is a way to change the receiver source though, so may still retain the harmony hub.

I really love the tv, minus it's smart ui. Excellent deal. Haven't used it more than 2 hours though. I'm in ND and it is summer. It will sit mostly unused till football kickoff this fall now.

Same here w.r.t the smart remote.
I am looking for a other substitute for this remote.
Can any one suggest a suitable model number for a Normal IR remote for QLED tvs
I tried searching for one, but its more confusing on its compatability

For those wondering about Samsung Care…

My set had a defective panel. I opted for a repair, because I wasn't going to deal with having two sets at once charged to my account, as well as the fact that a replacement renders Samsung Care "fulfilled", and it was initially a nightmare. Appointments constantly being scheduled and cancelled and scheduled and cancelled, unhelpful "customer service", etc. But finally today, 16 days after receiving the TV, the techs came out and replaced the panel, and all is good now. Samsung uses a few different companies for repair, the one assigned to me was Service Quick. They had the set ripped apart and put back together in half an hour.

So, while you may have a hassle at first, eventually they'll fix your set.

P.S. The set is nice, but the UI is fussy and, honestly, I think I prefer the picture on my HiSense 65U9F.

are you referring to 10% discount they were offering for any lame excuse the delivery will be late or anything other reason?
