Note for those purchasing it... I had the "white glove delivery" and they bent the tv the first time they installed it and had to replace it. Basically, make sure you don't pick it up from the corners of the tv. Pick it up with one hand on each side and then one hand on each side of the base. You will NOT be able to pick up this TV with just one person - it's too thin and will possibly (probably?) bend. Added an image of where the direction say to pick up for the 65".
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
edit: back when I got mine I got the Upsie [upsie.com] warranty for it (which covers burn in). Use promo code PLAYOFF for a 10% discount on the warranties. I got the 3 year myself but up to you of course.
3 Year Warranty - $153.89
5 Year Warranty - $341.99

Enter your info and you'll be redirected to Samsung's website. You'll see the TV listed as $16XX, but as soon as you get into checkout, it'll show as $1259.99.
Enjoy!
The first thing one sees when opening the box is an image clearly showing not to lift by the corners. There is no shortage of places to lift from, just stay away from the corners.
Glad I got this over the C2, as the picture is ridiculously good.
Only downside so far are the UI and remote as they kinda suck, but I use an AppleTV so don't really care anyway.

I'd stick with Sony or LG. Just my two cents.

For me the main downsides were - out of the box color accuracy was horrible. I was able to calibrate with a colorimeter, to get it looking pretty accurate. But once calibrated accurately, it's really not noticeably brighter than my LG CX OLED. Overall the image still looked better on the CX. The Samsung also exhibits crushed blacks and no shadow detail.
On top of that the menu systems and remote are truly awful. I've never plugged it into the internet (I use a Nvidia Shield) to stay on FW 1310, maybe I'll try the new update before returning it.
As far as the lack of Dolby Vision, that's another concern. I know that HDR10+ is supposed to be the open source equivalent. But question for everyone talking about how all the streaming services support HRD10+ -does all the DV content on those services play back in HDR10+ or does it have to be specifically mastered for it?
But the price is hard to pass up. Think there's any chance Costso would do a price adjustment/match so I don't have to go through the hassle of return and rebuy?

For this kind of money Samsung could easily pay the $2-3 per set for a license.
I suspect Samsung is going to have to cave as it appears DV omissions is becoming an issue....
