I also can not purchase the TV, as it states that shipping is not available.

I see three delivery options for 07/31 delivery, there is a "Deluxe Delivery and Unpack" option which is free. Two other options for delivery cost 9.99 or 19.99.

I assume I can cancel the order before 07/31, if I find a better deal tomorrow. Does anyone have a different opinion regarding this? Thanks!

I got the same options and it still failed to allow shipping. As for your question, I have found I can cancel any orders before it ships without issue.

Thank you for the feedback. I ended up selecting the free option and my order went through. I live in the Bay Area (NorCal). I'll update the thread if there are any changes to my order.

So this is a first that I have ever seen Amazon make an item available for one region, but not another one.
I can not order at all...... This is what I get when I try and continue with my order:
We do not have any delivery options at the moment, please check back in some time. If you have other items in your cart, remove this item(s) from your cart to complete Checkout.

IE: since I can't add the TV to my order...... I can't get the order locked in on the $549.96 price point...... and Again, this is the 1st time I have ever seen this happen.
I have always been able to place the order, and have it charge my account and ship when it becomes available.

I do Thank You "papercup" for your input Peace

I live in the midwest and in an apartment. Then I tried the in-laws which is a house and that didn't work either. I don't even get the delivery options mentioned above now. Wait and see mode activated.

saw this in store playing the best buy ad, the motion stutter was so bad and the cheaper lg next to it did not have the problem.
also Android tv is replaced with Google tv, so expect few updates to a buggy, crash prone platform.. this is the lowest price ever for it, but i personally would not buy

I just bought one of these and am surprised to read anyone bashing it. Besides it being Rtings.com's top recommendation, there are a number of YouTube channels that rave about this thing, especially after the latest firmware revision addressed some lingering issues.

As for someone evaluating it based on a best buy display... Yeah. Lol.

I'm going to give it a try and return it if I don't like it. But I am expecting to. It is extremely well featured for the price point, including local dimming and 2x 4k@120HZ HDMI 2.1 ports. It green checks all the Xbox Series X compatibility checks (and PS5 as well). The online reviewers say quite simply that it outperforms Sony and the much hyped Samsung QN90A for a fraction of the price. The TCL R646 is supposed to be close competition at this price point, but this is supposed to be the top dog.

I'd love to wait for the U8H coming in a couple of months, but that TV will probably be $1000 for the 55" until black Friday at the earliest. It will have micro LEDs and Google TV. Somehow there is already a user review of it on YouTube, though it's not an American reviewer. I guess other regions got early release sets? Anyway, it looked fantastic in the user's living room.

Honestly, the biggest gripes I've seen about this TV was some red ghosting that the latest firmware cleaned up, and the lights on the front of the TV if you turned off the Google assistant microphone due to privacy concerns... The lights are annoying to many people. The workaround is to turn the mic back on but deny Google permissions for it with the Android system.

Oh and as for delivery options... It took me several tries over the course of two days, and the earliest option I got was month end of July. So patience, I guess.

That is VERY likely due to motion settings or black frame insertion etc. These TV;'s are rarely properly set up in stores...
