Note of caution. Buy the TV from a reputed seller like Costco.

A lot of the Samsung display boards are failing. I had my TV 55" Sammy for less than 8 months and the display died. I got my TV from Costco and they were terrific. They got Samsung on the phone for me and help set up a technician to come replace the part.
I spoke to the technician, who was super helpful, about what was the rate of failure. He just said he'd been busy. He ended up replacing the circuit board and the screen.
