Ill keep that site for when blackfriday arrives. To be honest, my bigest concern is size. I have a 60" 1080, so as long as its the same or biger with the adecuate hdr im fine. I wont look for anything in particular, Ill see whats on offer and then choose the best.

If 60" is what ur after you will definately find something. As of righy bow the difference in price between the 55" and the 60" is about $400. I'm hoping that around BF i can get the 60" for around $1000 flat. LG has got some pretty great TVs and you probably would be able to get a 60" LG for under $800 around BF. Another benefit of the LGs is that they are the only ones that make TVs that support both HDR formats (HDR10 the common  open source one and Dolby vision). But it's black levels, input lag and overall screen brightness (important for HDR content) pushed me to the more expensive Sammy.

Damn that cheap over there? CAD 2600 and 3000 here for the 55" and 60" models, on sale.

That's $800 extra price gouging. I need a bigger car to pick one up in Buffalo :/ Still about 650 less after import duties on top of NY sales tax. Save almost 1000 on the 65" model.

 Unfortunately it's not that easy for me either . I don't stay in the states. I stay about a 3hr flight away in the carribeans. But I buy all my stuff from the states and using a dedicated courier service get them here. But even at that there is an almost 60% markup in total money spent after taxes and stuff get into the mix. Basically, if I buy a $1000 TV from amazon, by the time it's in my house I would have spent a total of $1600.  But that's still at least $1000 less than what it would cost to buy it from here.

IF you where looking at the original images on a 4K screen you wouldnt have to "Zoom" in.

Yh, true.... but I also won't be sitting 2-3ft away from said 4k screen would I? Unless you are telling me that you can see jaggies on the shoulder and arrorow and stuff while sitting 7-10ft away from a 50-60" TV.... even when looking at a 1080p image it's near impossible to see stuff like that a without some effort. So you trying to tell us the something better than 1440p is even worse than that?

A quick look at some tv and I can see what you mean. I think Ill be fine by black friday with like $800 tops.

I used to live in the caribean I know what you mean. I think I used t pay like 80% for electronics import tax and wheight of the item and all that.
