I bought this TV today and it seems like a great price. It went down to $827 while I was chatting to the sales guy (it's now $827 on the website) which was a bit lower than the in-store physical price tag. It should be a decent replacement for my 40in Hisense TV.

Just looking at the 55" to replace a fantasy Oled! I had been eyeing this model, looks like a good price performance deal.
