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.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Aren't we already in a recession according to objective measures?
I think companies are unloading inventory across the board, in case there is a recession next year.
Nice! I'm still going to wait more since every month is dropping price little by little

I saw a video just the other day that Samsung has already figured out how to make OLED panels extremely efficiently. So much so that they are able to create a 65" OLED panel for only $600, whereas LG is still stuck at the $700 per 65" panel.

This is how Samsung has been able to drop prices so quickly.

I bought it for 1574.99 before tax. It was delivered on 09/13. Today is 09/26. I am sure I should be able to get the price adjustment. Otherwise I simply return and reorder. Still on the phone. Almost 1 hr. The agent is killing me. Will update once got price adjustment.
Mine was also delivered on the 13th! Can I ask which number you called and if you've got any tips? Going to attempt to do the same and get mine price matched as well.

Thanks!

We're probably only 1-2 years away from most 65" OLEDs being ~$1000. I'm hoping to buy a 55" OLED in 2024 for $500.

55" sets are now pc and gaming monitors. 65" for the bedroom. All OLED 65" sets should be $1300 now. LG and Sony held them artificially higher due to lack of competition. Samsung is rocking the boat this year.

Does this really have a refresh rate of 120? Samsung plays the same games as everyone else:
- Motion Rate 120 equals 60 Hz real refresh rate.
- Motion Rate 240 equals 120 Hz real refresh rate.
I did some searches, and I don't see reliable confirmation of the refresh rate. Please show me if I missed something.

Hi guys,

Here's the deal with this TV. Nobody from the "Videophile" world is in love with it. It's main competition is the Sony A95K. 65" inch still holding strong at 3999. It was reduced to 3499 for a bit around Labor Day. I follow TV's as a hobby and like some elements of this TV. The colors do indeed have more saturation than say a LG G2, (C2 as well, but C2 a touch behind the G2). Overall, not all that close to the Sony.

For the "Fanatics", the Value Electronics annual "TV Shoot out" is a good reference point. The Sony Handily won, with this TV coming in second, the LG G2 third. (Yes, Samsung supplies Sony the panel). HOWEVER, Sony demands a high tolerance on their supplied panels. Also note, the panels are not exact as the Sony's Panel actually emits the sound. Sony clearly has the best upscaling and processing in the business.

The caveat is, the LG G2 is also holding strong with pricing. These S95s have LEGITIMATE issues with bending panels and arriving "bent". Now, all that being said, if you can get one for this $1400 it is a steal, provided you can inspect the set and return if bent.

However, Samsung now lowering the $1999 for the S95B speaks volumes about it's actual sales performance. I would NOT recommend this to anyone at the $1999 price point. Too many software bugs, bad shadow detail, and the construction defects. Take a hard look at the G2. The Sony is obviously way more money, and an unrealistic comparison price wise if this can be had for the $1400. However, I just want to stress this set is not "95%" of the Sony. Forget Rtings.com etc. do some hard research on this set before you take the plunge.

I use this 65" for pc gaming. The colors are unlike anything that I've played on. I paid $1650 for it, and I have no regrets.

In a recession, cash is king. We might be seeing more price drops soon. These big companies are going after your cash before market crashes, then they gonna double dip on the federal relief fund.

I would go for an LG OLED or Sony QD-OLED.

Whichever is cheapest. That's the bottom line.. Dolby vision is a royalty scheme manufacturers have to pay for each TV sold. I actually hope Samsung keeps resisting Dolby! No one can tell the difference between DV and HDR10... Now Google is trying to enter the space with their own codex but it will be royalty free (for how long if they gain traction though!?!)

I agree - if they keep dropping the price this hard, it's not selling.

But this is a great value TV; i.e, one for those who aren't enthusiasts like you and me. I bought one for my parents because they just want their Netflix to Look Good(TM), and boy, does it ever.

Personally, I'm holding out until the prices on the G2 drop. I'd love to have the A95K, but I want 77", so I'd have to wait for the A95L or whatever next year's model will be, at which point, I'm sure a 2023 Sony QD-OLED will cost significantly more than a 2022 LG OLED.

The appeal of this one is the price, not that it's the best TV ever made.
