I think the previous low was $1399.99 for the 65" model.

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

Just as a heads up for all non-EPP people who want the deal: if you have AAA membership this deal works.

Navigate here: https://discounts.aaa.com/home-bu...ts/samsung

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 whole fragile thing is overblown. Picked mine up and had no issues.

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.

Do what I did. Go to Best Buy and look at the two of them. The Samsung blows the C2 away.
It's really hard to judge in store in all honesty.

I just bought with aaa discount and was able to convince them to give me the 2yr warranty. Which was weird because at first they said care+ was no longer being offered. I then asked for the white glove deliver and he was like depends on the TV but I can give you 2yr Samsung care and I was like deal

Quote from Rock41 :
Even if the prices were the same, I'd take the Samsung 95B over an OLED…and I've had an LG OLED for about 5 years. I had clear burn in at about 10,000 hrs (2 yrs), which LG corrected by a free panel replacement, but after another 2 yrs, the burn in was back. And I was NOT using a "torch" mode, and specifically keeping contrast and brightness lower. Unfortunately our TV sees a lot of CNN/Fox, and the burn in corresponded to the "breaking news", and screen bottom ticker. If you absolutely don't watch something with fixed overlays, the LG OLED is a FANTASTIC choice! Having said that, I'm delighted with the 95B. Some upscaled video doesn't look the greatest, while upscaled from other sources is just fine. 4K native material leaves nothing to be desired, as far as I'm concerned. My biggest complaint about it is user interface, which is very different from LG and Sony that I've had. In the end, however, it's about picture and sound.
If I was a TV and I had to put on CNN/Fox, I would burn myself in also.

Brightness yes. Everything else debatable including build quality, OS, color accuracy, etc. I am a Samsung guy but don't trust this one. Again price is low for a reason. Even Samsung said the build quality is a problem hence why the new version of this is going to be better.
So clearly you dont believe in a down grade in picture quality

that must mean you own the Sony A95K?

btw..I would love to see where Samsung made a statement about the build quality of this TV
can you provide a link to their statement?

There have been many YouTube videos discussing the color accuracy being bad out of box and then calibrating bringing brightness way down. I also would like to see Dolby vision support since it's clearly more common. On paper this tv is awesome but in your home it seems debatable. Great price here but let's be real if this tv was the cats meow it wouldn't be this low.
This Tv spanks the heck out of my LG G1 that I paid $1900 for a year ago...and that was a " deal" at the time

Man I am really considering returning this to Costco, I have the 7 year warranty but is it really worth 540 dollars for an extra 5 years?

My cousin bought an 65 LG C2 and also a 65 Samsung S95B, so he can run them side by side comparison test. He ran both through rtings recommended setup with minor adjust for each panel lottery, as he's a professional TV calibrator. I forget the model blu-ray players he had, but he ran the same movie on each one, completely mirrored setup. LG C2 playing in Dolby Vision and an S95B playing in HDR10+, the S95B blew the C2 out of the water. The real test though he said was comparing the C2 DV against the S95B with HDR10, and the difference was hardly noticeable, in that the S95B was still far superior. For added stress test, he ran a VRROOM with Nvidia Shield Pro with an adjusted EDID profile to output LLDV to the S95B, then had the C2 connected the same Nvidia Shield Pro playing from Netflix, Hulu, etc steaming services. So C2 displaying DV and S95B playing LLDV, and the S95B still blew the C2 out of the water.

In the end he said the hype over DV being superior may have had a leg in the race back when HDR10 and weak LED tech against an OLED was the case, but now with miniLED and QD-OLED plus HDR10+ more commonly offered in most streaming services, DV isn't a factor.

Idk, I personally bought a QN90B, because I use my TV as a PC monitor and want to avoid burn in issues altogether. However, I did snag this S95B over the C2 based on his recommendations for the bedroom.

No. Color accuracy too. You're stuck on YouTube videos reviewing the old firmware.

Also, link to where "even Samsung said the build quality is a problem." Someone mentioned early in the thread that at CES Samsung said the new TVs would be "2x more durable" what isn't true. The 2x CES slide actually noted "2x more reliable" and was in reference to their commercial displays used for digital signage.

If you're looking at dollar per dollar value, Upsie offers a 5yr warranty on this TV for $379.99 and Allstate offers 4yr warranty for $349.99, so that sounds like a horrible deal for 5yrs at $540. However, it's Costco, and there's no overlap, only continuation of warranty. I'd say if you plan to keep this TV for 7yrs, definitely worth the $540 through Costco's hassle free warranty coverage. Personally, if the price discrepancy is minimal for anything I purchase but is available through Costco, I always went with Costco, even if slightly more. However with the Costco Anywhere Visa no longer providing the extended warranty coverage through the credit card, It makes making that extra a little harder to justify. The only time I can justify it, is going back to my experience with Costco support being hassle free with nearly anything I've ever purchased and returned, either because the product didn't meet my satisfaction or incurred failure of some sort.

This is mostly true but for these two, at least for me, it was clear the Samsung was better.
