Which Samsung 60" TV is a better deal?

[SanDiegoTim]

Someone please tell me which one of these I want. I have no idea a to the specs. All I see is that they are both 60", but one is less expensive. Thanks much.

At the very least, the Costco model has a 240 hz refresh rate vs. 120 hz for the Best buy model. The higher refresh rate provides a smoother picture where there’s a lot of movement in the scene. But depending on what you watch it might not make any difference to you. I’m on my phone so additional comparisons are difficult.

:rolleyes:Whatever
Does Costco even have people that know anything about tvs?
A Samsung warranty is a Samsung warranty, doesn’t matter where you buy it.

Actually they are both 120hz with a clear motion rate of 240.
The Costco model does have an extra couple HDMI inputs though.

Costco has a great return policy. I wouldn’t purchase from Best Buy.

The guy at my Costco is pretty knowledgeable. And their warranty is hard to beat. No need for a service plan.

I do not think you need “customer support” for a TV.
YMMV.

I do not have an opinion against BB.

But in addition to the extended warranty, I have not found any retailer more amenable to returns for lame reasons than Costco. For that reason alone they are my preferred source.

I believe the H6203 series (the BB one) has a full web browser instead of just the streaming apps. So if that’s important, it may be a reason to go w/ BB. However I am not sure if I am correct.

I don’t personally find much difference between pictures or refresh rates, but I only watch boring stuff.
