Bill We had friends coming over and they like football too so I had to improvise very quickly. My 32" LG from the back patio will have to do.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Just buy the 9000. I didn't like the "pointer" remote at first but now I love it. We got rid of cable and use an antenna, amazon and youtube. The pointer works so well with the built in applications. Use the web browser for youtube and you will love it. For a few hundred bucks more the 9000 is a no brainer. Last year, the TV's bottomed out on price on Black Friday so you can wait until tomorrow but you will probably not get a better deal elsewhere (maybe your PAW price will go down).

A "little" kitchen light reflection and the fact that I did not reset to a softer tone after bringing indoors. Maybe I should do that now.

Bill Bill...buddy...how long have you been married? Must I teach you everything? Go ahead and order the TV from Samsung online, use her Paypal account. Then we she questions you, tell her you ordered a loaf of bread online and you don't know nothin'. Practice your "dumb husband look" in the mirror. It will come in handy shortly. Then if she pressures you (and we know you will fold like a cheap suit when she does) blame her for the mixup with the Paypal account.

"buuut honey, I bought it because I love you and I thought YOU'd like it. It's a symbol of our love, don't make me send it back. Sniff, sniff..."

I hope I am not mis-representing the point; it doesn't matter if anybody believes me, it only matters that his wife believes him. I'm an idiot, no doubt about it. I count on my wife believing that to get what I want. The Pity Factor is NOT to be overestimated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Okay, I sat on my hands too long and the Samsung 8000, 8500, 9000 are all sold out on Samsung.com. I pulled the trigger on the UN65KS9500 for $1644.99 shipped. Best Buy, Amazon, HHGregg, etc. selling for $2199.99 right now. I was not going to go curved but my buddy just got the UN65KS8500 curved and it looks awesome. Bill 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 A little update with the status on my refund/accommodation for my 4.5 year old "unfunctioning" Samsung PN59D6500 plasma TV. After many hoops to jump through over the course of over 3 weeks, Samsung offered a refund in the amount of a whopping $111.00. or Send me a last year model factory refurbished(90 day warranty) UN60JU6500 LED lit LCD 60" 4K TV for an out of warranty fee of $150.00. Needless to say, taking the TV deal for the fee is a much better deal than the paltry refund offer. With that said, Samsung really did not owe me diddly squat so for that I am very grateful. So, I will be receiving my new UN65KS9500 in a day or two and my refurbished UN60JU6500 in a week or two. I kind of wish the "settlement" would have occurred before I pulled the trigger on the 65" but no such luck. The new 65" is clearly a superior model in all respects to the last year 60" but I am sure the 60" would suffice myself and most others.

willland Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 So, the UN65KS9500 was delivered today. Simple setup, very intuitive, great picture right of the box. Inky blacks, milky whites. Very close if not better than my Samsung plasma(RIP). Unbelievably thin bezel, kind of like an infinity swimming pool. I will play more with the picture settings this weekend. Lots of features and settings to explore. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Newest update on my broken Samsung PN59D6500 replacement. Samsung called today and informed me that the replacement TV the 2015 60" UN60JU6500 was out of stock so they asked me if I would be okay with them sending me a 2016 65" UN65KS8000 instead. My reply was like, yeah. So, I have my new UN65KS9500 and the 8000 on the way. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
