Want to buy a 65" TV
Samsung 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) 1080p Smart LED HDTV UN65H6203AFXZA
My question is, should I buy now or wait until Superbowl time. Have any of you tracked prices and waited till Superbowl time to buy the TV? Was it really cheaper. I am looking to buy from Costco since they give a 2 yr warranty.

Might as well go 4k. I did, why spend a bunch of money on a 1080p tv and turn around and buy a 4k a few years later, might as well pickup 4k now. Netflix has a few 4k titles and they look really nice!
If your 1080p tv is working fine now I wouldn't be in a rush to jump to 4k but if you need to get a new one then just go 4k IMO.

Crap, Stunna has muddied the water. LOL! Costco has a 65" JVC at $1700. I researched it and JVC is made in Japan, which to me is a good thing. Anyone have any thoughts on a JVC?

YMMV; good luck.

Someone else mentioned it but get on slickdeals and tag a few keywords of the tv you want so it will email you. There are a crazy amount of TV deals on there it seems so it will pay to wait and see what you can find.
Other thing I did was go to the post office and get the moving package and use the 10% off at Best Buy.

Smart move. But with Costco, I get 2 yrs warranty. If I bought the 65" Vizio M series, it is 1100 with 2 yr warranty and 90 for an extra 3 yrs... The cheapest 4k I have found is Costco JVC 65" at $1800.

Come to think of it, I think all of my TVs were bought in March, except one which was an open box I came across in September.

I'd wait. CES is around the corner. I'd want to see what standards, if any, the manufacturers settle on, as well as possible changes to the display.
Real 4K is 4096 x 2160 while 4K UHDTV is at 3840 x 2160. Some say tv manufacturers could up the resolution. LG has already come out with their DCI 4K monitor which has a resolution of 4096 x 2160 so it's possible LG could have a 4K UHDTV with a 4096 x 2160 resolution planned too.
And what if Apple actually comes through with their long rumored tv plans. A 5120 x 2880 resolution tv like their 27" retina iMac would be awesome.

There will always be a better/cheaper TV. These things are as bad as phones. My 720p is just fine

I'm not sure about discounts on TVs around the Superbowl, but if you want to wait to potentially save $100 - $200 (I imagine), and can wait then go for it. But, if you're looking for a nice TV for a nice price, that can be had now.
My recommendation:
Samsung Curve 4K UHD (7200 - 7250 Series). Great TV. Have it at Costco. Relativity "inexpensive" for what it is. We have the 55" and love it.

see my thread for my 65" purchase back in September... purchased at Costco for 1400 at the time... non 4k, but i'm using an hdmi extender over Cat6, so wouldn't get the full benefit of 4k anyway... it works for me, but TVs get cheap after a few months when a newer model comes out...

4K is a gimmick right now, still mostly hype. Sure, in the coming years it will be more widely available, but if you want a big screen with a quality picture at a good price, get 1080p. Fucking Sammy was selling their 4k screens with HDMI 1.4a input.. hellooooo...
