I'm seeing the $1575 price for the First Responders discount if that applies to anyone else.

Of particular note here is that adding any trade-in devices seems to remove the program discounts, which is unfortunate. Do you think if I chatted with a rep they would manually add a trade in device, or they would just say it is supposed to work that way? I have an original galaxy flip that would take another $525 off if it worked.

Quote from raf1919 :
on paper its better its the next gen tech but its 1st Gen which will likely have bugs. I dont like it due issues with bent panels and just general problems. C2 is more evolved if price being same I would take C2.
So what you're really saying is you've made up your mind as to why you won't purchase it and are thus heavily biased.

That's correct. Notwithstanding references to subjective reviews which give this a tie with a WOLED LG panel, S95B's color gamut and nits is out of the ballpark.

Anyone know if their educator discount applies to retired educators as well or only ones currently teaching?

Man, that $3k MSRP was absurd, just like the $4k MSRP of the Sony A95K using the same panel. At least the S95B price is dropping like a rock recently, but early adopters got price-gouged up the wazoo…

Also, keep in mind that, like all Samsung TVs currently, this doesn't have support for Dolby Vision.

Got this TV via first responders discount this weekend - was actually waiting for the C2 to drop to around $1500 before pulling the trigger but I randomly logged onto the Samsung website and after seeing the sub $1600 price, I couldn't resist. My good buddy has the C2 and I love it. Took a chance on this and I'm pretty stoked I did - I'm always underwhelmed by BF deals, they always seem to be focused on budget and/or midrange LEDs. This is for sure brighter than the C2, some of that is tech and some of it is software and calibration - C2 OS is more polished but for the room I am using it in (windows on all sides), the additional brightness was paramount. I'm super surprised the price dropped this drastically at this stage - seems like last gen OLEDS get discounted to like, $1200 then all get bought out and make way for the overpriced and VERY marginally better next model - point being, it was worth it to me to spend an extra $300 to get close to a current 'best of' model and have it for the long cold winter ahead :-) Couldn't be happier at this point.

I received this TV a week and half ago... 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.

See page 2 of the guide here. [samsung.com]
