I picked up my TV this morning and I have some advice based on my experience:
First - DO NOT UPDATE THE TV IF IT COMES WITH FIRMWARE 1098 OR 1211 INSTALLED. I would highly recommend avoiding the Wi-Fi setup all together to ensure this. If you do setup Wi-Fi (which you shouldn't because Tizen is an awful operating system in the first place), make sure to go into the setting immediately and ensure auto updates are off. YouTube has a lot of info on the firmware situation.
Second - You absolutely need a second (or third person) to help. Make sure you follow the unboxing instructions to the letter of the word. There are a lot of horror stories about people bending their units because of how thin the panel is, and the hoops you have to jump through to install the foot base. You absolutely need a flat and padded surface to lay the TV on. We used an inflatable mattress and a microfiber blanket.
Third - As an add-on comment, I highly recommend picking up an Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, or 4K Chromecast. Tizen UI is horrendous, slow, and has ads. Other than that, this TV is incredible for the price.

At this stage Dolby Vision is more of a marketing gimmick for TV's, the TV's that advertise it, barley meet the minimum standard and you are hardly getting any benefit and I have even read reviews that mention sometimes picture quality is worse. Samsung uses a competing standard named HDR10+, which seems to be getting a little more support, though not as much as Dolby Vision at this stage. But I think what is most important is the quality of the TV, and the s95b oled is amazing.
