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
Navigate here: https://discounts.aaa.c
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.

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.
Made me wish I could return the LG G1 I bought in December 2021..
You have no idea what you're talking about regarding Dolby Vision which is just a flavor of HDR.
Dolby Vision or HDR10+ should not be any deciding factor when purchasing a tv.
S95B is superior to the C2, S95B is superior to the G2, it's only bested by Sony flagship A95K

Was posted earlier by some else but:
"the difference between the three formats isn't that important. The quality of the TV itself has a much bigger impact on HDR."

If you want to call this the play because of the price here, that's cool. But stop acting like this TV is miles better and that DV doesn't matter. If both HDR10+ AND DV are available on your service, then obviously it doesn't matter. The point is that Netflix ONLY supports DV as its dynamic HDR offering.
Let me put this another way that might be easier to comprehend. If I'm someone that's looking to buy one of these TVs and I spend a lot of time watching Netflix and HBO Max (which anecdotally is probably a lot of people), would I rather have the S95B with inferior HDR10 or the C2 with DV?

And you keep missing the point, it doesn't matter that those streaming services stream only in HDR at this point for the Samsung. DV does matter. When the panels are EQUAL. Not the case here as the LG is an inferior panel.
The Sammy is the better panel and the C2 with DV does not look better than the Sammy with HDR.
DV crushes HDR10+ in physical media. I own 370 4K media. 137 have DV. 11 have HDR10+.
ELEVEN.
HDR10+ is the Betamax of our age. DV won. And Samsung are fools for not paying for the license.
