I'd say that was a good deal.
$100 off current retail pricing for a good sized TV.
It has decent tech using the HD10 spec (sadly no Dolby Vision HDR),
It is a 240hz model (which for best picture quality in movies you should to turn Fast Motion plus off except for the following instances, watching sports, gaming, or watching movie that was created in HRF).
That model is edge lit so you will see some light bleed in pure dark scenes in a dark room but will otherwise be unnoticeable. The TV does have the best contrast outside of Array lit, and OLED TV's.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't a TV out there aside from the Z9D that can even fully utilize Dolby Vision. DV needs a 12-bit panel to be fully utilized, and the only thing that has that or more is the Z9D (14-bit). LG can talk a big game, but DV just doesn't perform that much better.

No Bubble bursted at all. There is nothing wrong with looking toward compatability with all, or as many features as possible. The lack of DolbyVision is part of the reason I have not upgraded my TV yet.

EDIT: Reading more of your post, I can't help but feel you shouldn't be recommending TV's.

 

1. There isn't a 2016 TV that runs at 240hz. That would be the "motion rating" of 240, and is also only in relation to 1080p. 4K sources only run at 60hz/120MR. 

You are correct, I mis-spoke, it is 240 motion rating and not 240hz. 

2. Higher refresh rates don't make TVs smoother. Plugging 60hz into a 120hz doesn't turn the source into 120hz. What makes TVs look smoother is the motion rating. 

This is mostly correct. The motion rating is the rating given to reflect the TV's ability to create the effect that replicates what the source would look like if it was recorded at the given value.

This effect is typically done with an algorithm that predicts motion based on comparing two frames and it re-creates additional frames between those frames that don't actually exist in the source material to make the motion smoother/sharper on the screen. The actual hz rating of the TV can have a major impact on the level of impact.

Despite this clarifiaction, the suggestion for motion-plus settings stand.
