I personally love LG and Dolby vision, but I refuse to pay more for inferior tech, so I'll try this Samsung out. A lot of people say hdr 10 and dv are not distinguishable.
Also worth notating, this is a gen 2 qd oled panel. Same as the s95c meaning this panel easily outperforms the LG C2 in brightness and colors. I guess the price is lower cause they don't have to pay DV licensing fees.. I wonder how much those are per set?

UPDATE: I CANCELLED MY ORDER!
I went to bestbuy again for the third time in the past 3 days and decided to go with the LG G3. Color accuracy is just better with LG IMO and I don't want to spend hours tinkering and calibrating the Samsung display which may be better, but just isn't dialed in out of the box. Also, I don't think I can live w/out DV... I saw a few comparisons and we are talking about 12 bit color depth vs 10 bit. Their is a difference.
LG G3 wins top TV of the year

I bought the LG B3 and found the colors to be very washed out, but more importantly that it was VERY dim. Everyone says that the Samsung is much brighter, has a better viewing experience from the side and does better at not reflecting light...here's to hoping all of that is true.
I scheduled my deliver for November 29th just in case Costco ends up having this same price for Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
Thanks OP
Here is what I found with some experimentation:
Chrome: Didn't work on my S21 ultra, Tab S8+, or Windows 11 laptop
Samsung App: Worked on S21 ultra and Tab S8+
Samsung Browser: Worked on S21 ultra and Tab S8+

On my phone, I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8. That helped get the lucky day discount.
Another problem is that the Samsung app is just plain broken and I couldn't select the S90C 77'' and it kept defaulting to the S95C. What I did to fix it is trial and error. I searched for the S90C 77'', found it, opened it and clicked on buy, then I added the 55'' to the cart and in the cart there is a "Recent Searches" section with a hyperlink to add to cart directly. The 77'' was listed there so I added to the cart and removed the 55''. Price was $2500 at that point. Refreshing the cart triggered the lucky discount automatically every single time to $2300 and change. I went to EPP, opened Samsung from there, redirected to the app and the total cost changed to $1899.
Now for the two years of Samsung Care +... I tried to use my PC to chat and all the cart links they sent couldn't open on the app. What ended up working was starting the conversation with the rep from the App itself. They created a cart, I clicked on it and it showed the free two years, then I went back to my own cart and it carried over. I needed it in my own cart to get more cashback through EPP.
Last but not least, Samsung allows to split the payment with two Credit Cards. Chase has an ongoing offer to get 20% back in Samsung.com capped at $51. Using two cards where the offer is available sweetens the deal, but YMMV, not sure if the Chase offer is targeted.
It may look better to you out of the box, but if you think it is perfectly calibrated, that would not be true. Each set is different and LG does not individually calibrate all settings on each one.
Furthermore, these "professional" reviews all have something negative about every - single - tv.
Above all else, unless side by side, and inspecting pictures, these professionals won't notice it either in the everyday viewing. But spend $1000 more and support the company that took advantage for so many years with OLEDS.
Every company does it at one point or another, including Samsung. However, in any given moment, whichever is the offending company, I look elsewhere.
