I would like one as well for the samsung

 

[K1ng P3n]

I have some invites, just PM me your info.

 

[todd360]

I've got 1 for you. PM your name and email.

I've got 2 more invites to give out after that for the first 2 responses.

For everyone that gets an invite, remember you get 5 invites yourself, so please pass the savings along!

Edit: All gone! I gave out 3 invites, so there should be 15 more invites available if you guys share them!

I would love an invite from one of these new people with invites to share.

I have some invites, just PM me your info.

What kind of info do you need?

 

[AngelOFDeath]

Curious for those that went to BB today, what prices were you seeing for the KS8000?

What do the invites do exactly? Make the bestbuy samsung ks8000 even cheaper?


ninja edit: amazon has this for 997 as well

 

[Wilde]

Man, I'm having a tough time deciding between the 55" ks8000 for $729 and the 65" curved ks8500 for $1200.

They both seem like awesome sets, just can't decide if the curved 65" is worth the extra $500...

 

[Nevyr]

Curious for those that went to BB today, what prices were you seeing for the KS8000?

Curious too, because all the prices mentioned in this thread is same prices I seen all week at bestbuy 1k for 55 and 1300 for 60

if they have a special today it should be better than what they had all week.

 

[K1ng P3n]

Yep. The 55 inch is only 729 dollars.

 

[ViolentP]

I'm ready to pick this up soon as I can get my hands on an invite.

The invites let you join "FedEx Perks at Work" program, that gives you access to employee level pricing on Samsung's website.

 

[Spycarnegy]

Wow Ill jump on that if someone is willing to send me an invite

I saw that you mentioned Best Buy, so just be aware, this is through Samsung'a website, not Best Buy.

I just tell myself that i'll stick with the 55'' for now (which by all means is an amazing set) - then when OLEDs become more affordable in a few years, i'll get a 65'' OLED

 

[todd360]

Is there anyone left with invites? I would be happy to pm my info if you have any to spare.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i have 5 invites. pm me your first/last name and email. first 5!

p.s.

for people that have ordered, are you using white glove delivery? i don't need them to set it up or remove it for me but i also dont want them to just throw the TV around if i do standard

 

[kbox09]

I've got 5 invites to share with folks. PM me first/last name and email and I'll send em out.

 

[Karspankey]

Anyone have the Samsung UN40KU6300? I was shocked by how low the price is! I looked at its review on rtings already, but I wanted some impressions from people who have it!

 

[odin9450]

Only one invite left.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i have 3 left

 

[todd360]

Its saying my email is already taken?

 

[AngelOFDeath]

You may have a perks at work account already, try signing in normally and it may change your employer

 

[todd360]

Huh. This is the first i'm hearing of it if I do.

 

[Nevyr]

Well, Best Buy is 10 mins from house I guess I will go and see what prices they offer, would be annoying if its same prices they had all week.

55" - 1k
60" - 1400
65" - 1700

 

[swaggerbot3000]

any codes left?

 

[GinoFelino]

Damn you lucky Yanks and your ridiculously cheap employee-discount KS8000!!!

The equivalent of 2000 damn dollars for a 49 inch KS8000 in my country!

 

[Nevyr]

Huh. This is the first i'm hearing of it if I do.

I was auto enrolled thru my company, because we used to have our own version of it.

You might been too.

 

[AngelOFDeath]

Huh. This is the first i'm hearing of it if I do.

Same thing happened to me, so when I tried signing in again it asked for a password change, then it changed the employer. Not sure what happened but it just worked lol

 

[lt519]

For anyone that ends up with AGS shipping I suggest that you call them. I called to see when it'd be in my area so I could set up a delivery appointment and she had two totally wrong phone numbers on the shipment. I guess they'll call me when it arrives in my area on Monday (ordered on Wednesday) to set up an appointment (or you can go pick it up).

 

[Spycarnegy]

Any invites left? I pm'd a few people here

 

[Servbot24]

I have some invites, just PM me your info.

Thank you! I just pulled the trigger on the TV. This wasn't in my plans, but hopefully it will be a good investment for several years.

Report back whenever you can! Cause hell if it's the same price as EPP, ill just head over to the nearest BB and get my tv now lol

 

[mrklaw]

any major differences between the LG OLED B6 and C6, or is it just curved + 3D? Currys in the UK have them both at the same price

10%off is tempting but I need to plant that seed first with my wife so that when I eventually buy one, she just sighs with the inevitability of it all. And I should probably sell my vive as a goodwill gesture.

 

[Nevyr]

will do, im pacific time ( 10:35 am atm ) so wont be for a couple of hours, unless someone else here report first.

Pretty much identical but the C6 is curved and with 3D. I am not necessarily a fan of curved because almost always, they do 'worse' than a flat panel, but the C6 because it is OLED does not have as many curved issues as LCD panels do ie. Cloudiness and backlight bleed. So you need to see whether 3D and a curve is something you guys would want. Curve can help if you have a space where people won't necessarily be sitting at extreme degree angles.

I'm omw up there now. Ill report in about 30 minutes

 

[Mindman]

This is so tempting. How will returns work though? When does the perks at work sale end?

 

[III-V]

this is a badass deal, wish I had not purchased a month back lol

That's some Inception shit right there.

Today is the last day for the Samsung store sale.

Those of you with a 2016 Oled or considering one, please sign our HDR game mode petition on change.org

Thank you!

nope, curved isn't great for us as we have a corner sofa so viewing angles can vary. I just wondered if it might have better processing but doesn't sound like it.

I think my shortlist is

Budget: 55" Sony XD85xx/XD80xx £999
Mid : 55" Sony XD93 £1600 but with free stupid soundbar so probably £1500 after I sell that. Not sure how much better it is than the 800 though, and input lag seems high on this model.
High : 55" LG C6. Like the idea of OLED blacks and contrast, but unsure about input lag and lower brightness for HDR - viewing area is a well lit living room, prefer not to watch with lights out (thats what the projector is for)

 

[D_psipher]

Any invites left? Would love to get in on this.

 

[Art Vandilay]

Can someone with an invite PM please? This is now in impulse buy territory.

 

[Servbot24]

How are invites generated? I got mine already, but if I have access to some from the site I'll send them out.

 

[MastAndo]

The legs on the 55" KS8000 are splayed too wide for my stand, and I can't justify the price bump for the KS9000 primarily for a more ideal stand. Would something like this work?;

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0122TVI7U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2T4RI5JPP2USG

The back looks like a bit of an eye-sore though.

 

[Art Vandilay]

Please PM me if you have an extra invite.

 

[Nevyr]

that would work,

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BTBVV5Q/?tag=neogaf0e-20

is another one. as long as they support the standard 400x400 vesa


you wont be walking behind the tv too much tho? to see the stand.
