ohiomike Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Bad, I've heard horror stories about buying TV's online and then there being warranty problems afterward. TV's were specifically mentioned. Hope you're not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) this one was good... Great Replacement T.V.!!! We got this beauty to replace the bridge's main viewscreen after the last time Sulu traded paint with the Excelsior. And thanks to Spock's idea to gaffer tape the remote to my left-hand armrest on the Captain's chair I can now "mute" Khan whenever he starts ranting about Antares Maelstroms and perdition's flames and what not.....Kirk J.T.

magley64 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 this was good, too This Television is Fresh! We originally got this television when our nephew moved in. It has been a wonderful addition to the house for our nephew.You see, our nephew was born and bred in West Philadelphia, where he spent most of his days playing basketball and relaxing. That was until a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble. It seems he got into one little fight, my sister got scared and told him he was moving in with myself and my husband here in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles.It was a tough adjustment period. How someone can find the stinkest cab from LAX IS BEYOND ME right off the plane. But when he got to the house and saw this television hanging in our kitchen by the sliding doors?He knew he was finally here! He said he felt like a prince.Everyone loves it. Our son loves dancing to Its Not Unusual on its sound system and personally for myself the detail really helps me see my fave plastic surgery shows (as I have completely changed how I look in less than two years.)The price is a little low on what we were expecting, but hey: The price is as unbelievable as our lives.Thank you, Samsung!Vivian BanksBel-Air, California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 895 of 926 people found the following review helpfulVery satisfiedMy wife and I bought this after selling our daughter Amanda into white slavery. We actually got a refurbished. It's missing the remote, but oh well-- for $10K off, I can afford a universal, right? The picture is amazing. I've never seen the world with such clarity.Amanda, if you're reading this, hang in there, honey! We'll see you in a year.*****I just wanted to add an addendum to my review. Since posting it, we have received a flood of responses. People have said some pretty hurtful things--even questioning our values. Let me assure you, this was not an easy decision to make, and we made it as a family. Obviously, it's very personal. But in light of all the second-guessing, I wanted to explain our thinking.First and foremost, screen size. I really think you can't go too big. 85" may seem huge, but you get used to it fast. Second, resolution. Is 4K overkill? Please, that's what they said about 1080P! More dots = better. Period. And as far as this being a $40,000 "dumb" TV, people need to re-read my initial post: WE BOUGHT IT REFURBISHED. It was only $30,000.Some of you may think I'm avoiding the "elephant in the room"-the real reason why this was such a heart-wrenching choice. So let's just get it out there. Yes, the 120 Hz refresh rate is a disappointment, especially on a 4K. But life is full of compromises. And frankly, we hardly notice. All in all, no regrets.P.S., as for our daughter, NO ONE has the right to question our parenting. Totally out of bounds. Amanda was going into 7th grade, so it was going to be a transitional year anyway. Now she gets to see the world. How many kids her age get to go to Bahrain? I sure as heck didn't, but you don't hear me screaming "child abuse." Bottom line: MYOB! Seriously.*****Has it been a year already? Wow! I guess that's what 8 hours a day of immersive TV will do for you! Many of you have expressed your eagerness for an update. Well, here goes.Generally, the Samsung has held up beautifully. We have noticed a little bit of lag, mostly in multi-player gaming--but not enough to cost us any firefights. There have been some issues up-imaging low rez content, but that's to be expected when you early-adopt--we're still "waiting on the world to change," as John Mayer would say (gosh he's talented.) On the plus side, we feel like we are now officially part of the cast of GOT. The other night Peg almost had to open a window to let Daenerys' dragons fly out!And you'll all be happy to know our darling Amanda is back with us, safe and sound. She has changed a little. She's less talkative than before (though she had some choice words for me when I asked her to clean her room). And she's started wearing eye make-up, which has Peg a bit concerned. But welcome to thirteen, I guess. We're just glad to have her home. And she loves the TV. That's the main thing. In fact, she spends so much time in front of it lately, you'd swear she owns it.
