I bought this yesterday , and while both those comments are valid, those are expected for a TV at this price point.
Most smart tv interfaces are laggy after using for a few months and need to be supplemented with a powerful streaming device for the best experience.
About this being the same price as Black Friday 2023, doesn't change the fact that CURRENTLY this is still a really good price for a 55" QLED 4K TV that supports 120hz.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank annestrauss

I have one lots of lagging at startup between Google interface and YouTubeTV etc. I even have quick start. Picture quality very good until I tried with Firestick. I'm screwed on this purchase

Honestly I have a TCL. The screen looks amazing but Google TV sucks on it. Always freezes up

This doesnt answer your question byt FYI - just bought it in store and I was told its $20 for 2 years and $40 for 5 years. It overlaps with the one year manufacturer warranty though.

so basically, the 2 years is only 1 year extension, and the 5 years is only 4 years?

Yes. But you don't have to deal with the manufacturer at all in the 1st year

All our house tvs are budget level tcl and hisense. After getting a Samsung 4k smart monitor the quality of picture is much nicer. Don't know if it's also the difference in size: 27" samsung to 43", 55" and 65" tvs
