The Samsung S95B OLED is a bit better than the LG C1 OLED overall. The Samsung can display a wider HDR color gamut, and colors are significantly brighter, but this also looks unnatural with certain content. On the other hand, the LG has better black levels in rooms with a bit of natural light, whereas the Samsung is really best enjoyed in a completely dark room. The LG supports Dolby Vision, and it delivers a slightly more accurate HDR experience.
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.

I just placed an order using the Healthcare worker/First responder discount instead of the employer discount and got the $1650 pricing. Has anyone tried to cancel the order to see if they give you an additional 5% off? I remember them doing that in the past.

So you were able to get a price adjustment. I bought it at the 1725 price and Samsung Customer support would not do a price adjustment, rather they suggested I had to reject the first shipment when it arrives and reorder, which I did.
I'm in the exact same boat as Daniel19. When I bought it for $1849.99, the CS rep on chat refused to price match and asked me to refuse delivery and place a new order for the $1724.99 price. So I went ahead place the new order and I was intending to refuse my $1849.99 order. Now I see that the price dropped once again to $1649.99 today. Confused

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.

Instructions for having chat contact you:
  1. Go to the following link for Order support: https://www.samsung.com/us/suppor...-services/
  2. In the "Contact reason" dropdown, select a reason related to account such as "Problem with order >> Payment not processing".
  3. Fill in your information and opt for "Call" option.
  4. It would ask you for the phone number . Please enter it and click on "Call me now".

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???

Picked up a good copy of the S95B yesterday from Best Buy with this $1650 deal. No odd warps or bad pixels etc. Build of the TV is excessively thin, definately take care when mounting not to bend or twist. Once mounted, good to go and the unusual thin build decision is out of mind.
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.

Watch the reviews on youtube. Samsung nerfs the brightness. You probably don't ever want to update that firmware.

I agree; however, I noticed this says the LG is better for a room with natural light. I have so many windows, so likely best to wait for a BF deal on the LG.

Looks like the LG better in rooms with a lot of natural light. That's the deal breaker for me.
