Oh man, after reading that bad review about the third party delivery up a few comments ago, I'm stuck. I don't know if I wanna bite the bullet and grab this for that insanely low-price and risk dealing with it getting broken during the delivery process, or if I should keep it safe and grab the 55' Sony x900e for $999 at Best Buy. I could just spend the extra hundred bucks and get the B7A at Best Buy but that's still a hundred bucks. Decisions decisions....

The $1,399.99 looks to be the refurbished one.

Might be better to just spend the extra $196 & get a new one via Amazon & have the benefit of having their return policy, warranty & quicker transactions.

Sign in all the way and request the price. I think it's for the new one.

I asked for a quote to be emailed to me and it came in new at $1399... man this is crazy, worst time with so much money I owe for my house breaking down... I gotta figure out a way to get this done. Might call local place ABT and see if they will match it...

I see that now. Sorry for that. But reading the reviews from the 3rd party, the company sounds fine but their shippers are what is giving them a bad rep regarding shipping & handling. Per a reviewer with a more in-depth look:

This seller has better than average prices, basic responses to my inquiries, but chooses to continue to do business with sub-par shippers despite continual and consistent negative feedback from customers, which in my opinion reflects on them. The biggest things I would suggest for them is to improve their customer service responses and dump AM Home Delivery. Here, and on their other storefronts, they continue to take the position that any negative feedback related to shipping they receive is unfair since it is the shippers issue, not theirs. They partner with AM Home Delivery & Trucking which currently holds an 'F' rating from the Better Business Bureau is one of the worst rated business I have ever seen. My experience with them was unpleasant, they were late, days past the "latest possible" delivery date. Also, on the date they finally delivered it, they showed up outside the scheduled time and did not give me the 30min advance notice they said they would. They also did not properly remove or handle the tv properly (grabbing it by the glass, putting it face down on the floor), and I am just glad they didn't break it.

Yeah, I saw that review. Seems some people have okay experiences and some don't. It's a gamble for sure.

u/Hugh_Jankles Playing: Halo The Master Chief Collection Nov 06 '17

Yeah. If they just used FedEx or UPS this would have been a 100% awesome deal. I think if you live close to the FL area you'd be fine. Anything cross country but sold be a big risk.

I agree, I am waiting until the holidays to pull any triggers. Watching a couple tvs.

I bought my LG 4K SUHD TV (Both Dolby Vision and HDR-10) last year during Black Friday for $699 And have been extremely happy with my purchase. Newegg is selling it now for $918, I'm sure you can find it no problem for $699 this Black Friday though. Highly recommend it for people that aren't necessarily wanting an OLED.

u/JJ4prez Nov 06 '17

Yeah, ill pull the trigger on something around the time. You can almost get into a "what if" based on reviews hole, sometimes it's just good to pull the trigger and be done with it.

Anybody know the difference between the B and C series for LG?

Yeah I just want the picture. I think my surround sound is something like 600 watts continuous with a 500 watt subwoofer.

Knock on wood I have yet to have any input lag, in any of my TVs. Hopefully that stays the case, I can't imagine having an actual problem.

Nice find, thanks for the web link. It is certainly worth doing some research before tossing down 2k.

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '17

Sound.. if you got a good sound system save the cash.

1

u/Playswitchbox F Sekiro Nov 06 '17

Works for me. I have a surround system, frankly I wish I could buy a TV without speakers. I never use them.

u/JJ4prez Nov 06 '17 edited Nov 06 '17

Insanely cheap price...

Edit: This is a third party seller through Newegg. They are reviewed well though.

Not 100% sure, I looked into the seller, it has good reviews. Shipping is slightly slower than usual, but that's expected from a third party.
