Samsung 65 ” S94BD OLED Smart Tizen TV (S95B Rebrand) + $300 digital gift card $1600

The S94BD looks to be just the S95B but rebranded so that they can either refuse price matching or so that they can change the brightness claims for the newest S95B firmware. Either way this isn't terrible if you don't want to deal with Samsung EPP and a simpler return process if there is something wrong with the set. While Samsung EPP is often less expensive for the S95B, you then have the hassle of dealing with them for a return if needed.

This deal looks to be about $50 more than a recent price on the product as posted here.
Good Deal?

What is the "brightness claims for the newest S95B firmware" mean? I got S95B from samsung on Monday and paid $1,200 for it. Flashed the latest firmware (1503.8) that I downloaded from the samsung support website and I don't have any brightness issue. In fact, it's too bright for my liking in Filmmaker mode and have to reduce the brightness and contrast to 35.

With Samsung, you can get 2 years of Care+, well worth getting from them. Considering the EPP price of $1,200 + 2 years of Care+, this is NOT a good deal, imho!

Yes, $1600 - $300 is $1300 which is much more than $1200 + Care+ (2 years) from samsung website although it's NOT available now.

At first glance I thought the S90C was a 95B refresh but now there's a separate D model designation? 👀

You still pay $300 to Best Buy to make sure you are only able to spend that $300 at best buy. I would rather prefer a a cash rebate or a Visa debit card or Visa Gift card that companies used to do a lot 10-15 years ago. Now they have figured out a business way to not let that $300 go outside of Best Buy. So they offer you a $300 gift card.

A good idea would be to buy the 5 year Best Buy Geek Squad warranty with the e gift card
IMO, its about the best extended warranty program out there

A couple of times 4 years into ownership my TV has gone out and I have gotten a full refund of the original purchase price
Due to the drop in prices of TV's in that period of time, I was able to buy a bigger/better TV for the same refund money

It is a repackaged S95B.

From rtings:

"The Samsung S95B OLED and the Samsung S90C OLED are almost identical. Indeed, the S90C looks like a repackaged S95B but with official 4k @ 144Hz support, the 2023 version of their proprietary Tizen OS, and new 77" and 83" (with a WOLED panel) models alongside the existing 55" and 65" ones. Everything else is identical."

if you have the best buy card you can get another $75 back in points as well. It would have been better for it to be full price, cause theres 10% coupons hanging out there most of the time for BB

Picked this up in MA last weekend during the annual sales tax holiday. Sadly, it was DOA out of the box. Just exchanged it and am supposed to get replacement unit delivered next Monday. Hoping to not strike out on the second one.
