Transform your television watching experience with this Samsung 4K SUHD TV. Quantum Dot Color and UHD dimming deliver stunning picture quality with larger than life color that captures all the details. This 64.5 inch curved screen and the sleek body of this Samsung 4K SUHD TV keep the content visible from any viewing angle.

This is a great TV for the average consumer. However, it is not priced for the average consumer, but rather the videophile high end market. This is where Samsung fails.
First things first: the TV is edge lit - top and bottom, not sides anymore - not FALD. Samsung has done this for two reasons. 1) To get HDR level brightness/contracts/etc and 2) Their "research" says that most people watch TV in a lit room so blacks don't matter that much. This point to my point that this TV is built for the average consumer.That is not to say the picture is not fantastic, it is. Colors are amazing; their CMR/AMP is still one of the best in it's class.
Secondly, the blacks are fantastic for an edge lit when sitting in the center of the TV. That is where the great blacks end. The further out you go on a viewing angle, the light bleed becomes atrocious and colors wash out significantly.
Thirdly, the micro stuttering on this TV is horrible. If you are sensitive to this feature - I am, my wife can't see it - it makes the TV unwatchable. This has been an intermittent problem with Samsung TVs for some time, and I wish they would have solved it by now.
Lastly, the TV really is a gorgeous piece from an aesthetic standpoint. The "no bezel" screen really is fantastic and it is almost as thin as an OLED.
To sum things up, I had to return the TV due mainly to the micro stuttering. I gave this TV three stars because the picture was indeed fantastic, as long as you were sitting in the center and the design was excellent.
I would only recommend this TV to the casual TV buyer, who is not looking for the best TVs have to offer (FALD, etc).
My Best Buy number: 0540560101
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Connect this Nintendo NES Classic Edition console system to your television for hours of fun. The all-in-one system includes 30 favorite NES games such as Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros and Mega Man 2. This Nintendo NES Classic Edition comes with an HDMI cable, controller and power adaptor for out-of-the-box gaming enjoyment.
Overall
2 out of 5

This is a great idea, but you're permanently locked into the 30 games. Nintendo is not making this expandable, so you will never be able to add more games to it. They should spend a little more time with this system, give it wifi, and allow additional games to be purchased via their e-shop (they already have a long list of NES titles for the virtual console). If this system were expandable to where you could get more games on to it, I would give this system 6 out 5 stars.
I'm very confused by the list of games that it comes with. Why did they leave out Castlevania 3, Mega Man 1 and 3-6, Contra, Double Dragon 1 & 3 and so many more classic NES titles?

It is all about licensing. Maybe Konami didn't want - or wanted too much - for the original Contra. Same with Arc Systems, Capcom and all the other intellectual property holders of any game you can conjure up.
