I have the Costco version of this TV. Check the interwebs for reports of a bright white split second flash. Apparently its been a thing across multiple models and years from what I read. I see it on occasion. It doesn’t bother me as long as it not causing damage (remember the bad capacitors of the early LCDs). What is important is that this year the new models with NU in the model numbers have the Bixby assistant in them. I have it on my phone and think it’s the worst thing Samsung ever did. So if your a Bixby hater like me this is your last chance to pick up a Samsung.
Factory Refurbished?
I have a 55" version of this, the sound is amazing, picture is incredible. If I had room for it I’d be grabbing this, but it’s too big for my bedroom! This is a steal!
Samsung’s reply to an Amazon review:
"When setting up your television you agree to a series of terms and conditions in order to utilize the product, in these terms and conditions you are agreeing to allow Samsung and its affiliates to provide select advertisements onto your product. Unfortunately there is no way for the consumer to opt out of these advertisements as they are built into our platform. As far as your concern regarding the preinstalled applications being unable to be removed, I do understand your frustration regarding this issue but much like cell phones our televisions come installed with a select variety of applications that many of our customers have found useful. This is an industry standard that has been utilized by multiple different brands, these applications are non-removable by our consumers as they too are built into our user interface.
If you have any further questions regarding this please feel free to contact me.
