MAKE SURE YOU LIFT THE TV CORRECTLY.
The entire top 90% of the box comes off (my installers lifted the tv out of the top of the box for some reason). Also, lift from the middle sides and the bottom middle (my installers placed it face-down on the bed to install the mount, they then lifted from the corners flexing the tv a ton). This TV bends fairly easily since it's so thin.

We will most likely see Samsung Display announce by Q4 of this year or Q1 next year that they'll expand capacity to produce 60,000 substrates per month given that that they sold off their last lcd fab and need to transition to another display technology as soon as possible.
In the long run, if Samsung finishes their research for QNED and irons out all the kinks to enable mass production, we will see an even better display technology. The eventual evolution of qdoled is to replace the oled backlight with leds and it would be a qd-microled/nanoled display which is what QNED is. The equipment for QNED/QDOLED is similar except the expensive deposition machines for OLED are not necessary for QNED so the conversion of qdoled to qned wouldn't be difficult and QNED's launch price should theoretically be cheaper than qdoled. Of course this is likely a couple of years away from now happening the earliest by 2025 or 2026.
I'd wager that all of us have the money for most of these things at their retail price, but we are here for the deals. We all know that a dollar saved feels better than a dollar earned. And so with that in mind, your comment makes little sense.

So of course I contact CS again. This time, the CS rep on chat gave me instructions on how to reach the phone CS who could help me out. I didn't get an immediate price adjustment by the phone rep on my $1724.99 order but they raised a ticket, and asked me to call back with the ticket # once I receive this order and can confirm the TV is in good shape. I asked what if the price is different then but the rep said not to worry, they'll honor this price as she put our conversation in the notes.
The direct CS phone number I received is 1-800-726-7864 if anyone else is in the same boat and wants to try their luck.

Let me know if this is a cynical enough comment - why don't you call, and, whoever, is assigned to service your call, ask them what is in the notes for you :-) Wouldn't you like to confirm that the information in the notes is what you expect before you accept the delivery???
The OS on the TV is pretty awful. Coming from a Q9FN, LG CX, Hisense, LG C1 this TV's built in OS is just simply poorly designed. Thankfully using a harmony remote, Apple and Nvidia unit to avoid needing to use the Tzein OS.
Picture is excellent, like a light cannon with the default firmware. This unit has 1098 and will not be touching it until the dust settles on the firmware development. Great out of the box.
The ATSC 3.0 tuner is working well too.
Thanks to OP for identifying this great deal.

I'll also add. The MSRP of the C1 65" is $1,699. The S95B is $2,999. Right now you can get the Samsung for the same price/cheaper than the C1. That makes me look a little more favorable towards it since the reviews are so close between the two already.
