If you add 2 years of Geek Squad warranty, which covers burn in and is better than the factory warranty. It comes up to $639. Then cheapest I have seen both the Samsung and LG 42" WOLED panels go for is $700 new.

edit: Chatted with Best Buy, item comes with full warranty 1 year from Samsung. Also if you have a CC that offers extended warranty, it also covers open box items from authorized stores like Best Buy if the item has it's full manufactures warranty.

Should put YMMV up. I checked and there's not a unit at a Best Buy within 250 miles of me.

Feel like Open-box is just another way of saying YMMV

Fair enough. Especially when it comes to Best Buy.

Good for a small room. If you are siting more than 6 feet away, its overkill.

Since I am being voted down without any reply. Here is what the experts say, not just me.

Summary Guide for 6 Feet:

TV Size Recommendation Experience 43" - 50" Too Small You'll miss out on the benefits of 4K resolution.
At 6 feet away, a 42-inch TV is definitely not overkill—in fact, many would argue it's actually a bit too small for a modern 4K setup.
Here is why:
1. The 4K Detail Problem

Human eyes have a limit on how much detail they can resolve at a distance. At 6 feet:

On a 42-inch screen, your eyes can't fully distinguish between 1080p and 4K. You're paying for those extra pixels, but sitting too far back to see them.
To really "see" the benefits of a 4K resolution on a 42-inch screen, you'd typically need to sit about 3 to 4 feet away (like at a desk).

2. Field of View

For a comfortable "living room" experience, experts recommend the screen fill about 30° to 40° of your field of vision.

At 6 feet, a 42-inch TV only covers about 28°.
This makes it feel more like you're "watching a box in the room" rather than being "immersed in the movie."

3. Text and UI

If you play video games or watch sports with small tickers/stats at the bottom:

At 6 feet, text on a 42-inch screen can start to feel tiny.
You might find yourself leaning forward or squinting during RPG games with heavy dialogue or menu screens.

The Verdict

Is it "bad"? No. If you have a small space, a tight budget, or just don't want the TV to be the centerpiece of the room, 42 inches is perfectly functional.
Is it "ideal"? Most enthusiasts would suggest moving up to 50 or 55 inches for that distance. You'll get a much more "modern" experience without it feeling like it's taking over the house.
