Reddit mentions of Samsung UN55NU8000FXZA Flat 55" 4K UHD 8 Series Smart LED TV (2018)

Yeah sadly but saving my money up for Samsung UN55NU8000FXZA FLAT 55” 4K UHD 8 Series Smart TV 2018

LG OLED TV's are the best, also the most expensive (easily $1,000 more than a great 4K HDR LCD/LED)

LG OLED C8 is amazing.

​

Look for HDR and the refresh rate. 120Hz or 240Hz would be best, 60Hz will still be fine, but you are better off going higher.

​

This is a great option, as it has a 240Hz refresh rate:

I’m less familiar with the Vizio models but they are also similar price ranges. Overall I’d say TCL is cheapest and provides great price value and has Roku, Samsung is pricier and Vizio again idk but all three are wayyyy more credible and not necessarily more expensive

Good summary up top but your analysis is clearly written from a pro-Stonemaier perspective, and as such is choosing to ignore or overlook a couple things. For reference, I wish this whole thing would get worked out because I really like most Stonemaier games but my local GG is my favorite store.

>Supposed proof that Stonemaier denies sending copies of Wingspan to Amazon. Stonemaier is correct. He did not distribute directly to Amazon. Instead, he allocated 780 copies to Flat River Distribution, who in turn allocated some copies of the 780 to Amazon.

These 780 copies were allocated to Flat River Distribution. Jamey, in his own words has said that Flat River sells to non-hobby retailers like Amazon/Walmart/Target and since those stores would get copies from somewhere, he opted to use Flat River to control the supply. So is Stonemaier selling DIRECT to Amazon? Not technically. But they're selling to Flat River with the intent of Flat River distributing those copies (or at least some of them) to Amazon, and not the local game stores he so frequently claims to support. I believe that's the point TGGCEO was trying to make -- Jamey is saying one thing and appears, at least with Wingspan, to be doing something else.

>Supposedly proof that Amazon had 1,000 copies of Wingspan

If you try to enter a quantity greater than the quantity in stock, there is a warning placed immediately above the product. Example warning message when I just tried it. The image provided by TGGCEO is simply showing that Amazon is allowing a quantity of 999 without giving that message, therefore it's likely Amazon did indeed have 999+ copies at the time that screenshot was taken.

>In the Reddit post though TGG admits to violating their MAPP agreement by using the “hide price” feature on Amazon.

The whole reason the "hide price" feature even exists on Amazon or MM/CSI is to get around MAPP agreements. And it's not just board games -- for example, this Samsung TV has "see price in cart" enabled, as do many others. You'll see the same thing with ANA titles during MM/CSI sales. For years, hiding the price has been a generally accepted way of bypassing MAPP agreements because it's communicating the below-MAPP price directly to a single customer by making them add to cart or log in. I can't fault TGGCEO for believing himself to be in compliance after hiding the price -- because until Stonemaier threw everyone a curve ball (and if your company is more strict than ANA, it's definitely a curve ball), hiding the price has been an accepted method for abiding by MAPP agreements while still offering a lower price.
