Where can I check prices for NU71xx or NU74xx?
The thread linked to price-engine listings for both series. Use those to compare stores and promo codes. Refresh often to catch drops. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, #17437489]
Should I choose the older Samsung ES6100 or a newer NU7402?
Advice here steered buyers toward the NU74 series rather than the older ES6100. Choosing a current series matches the thread’s recommendations and feature targets. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, #17438556]
Did anyone in the thread buy and report back?

What if a retailer raises the price during a promo?
Track prices closely. One user saw a 55-inch NU74 rise enough to kill the deal, even with a 500 PLN code. If that occurs, pivot to alternatives. [Elektroda, kidA73, post #17441257]
Do I need Dolby Vision at this price?
A poster suggested a Toshiba model with Dolby Vision as an option. Consider it if DV content matters to you, but weigh overall value first. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17438562]
What panel type does the thread favor, and why?
It favors VA panels with 60 Hz refresh and high native contrast. As one note put it, “All of the above on good VA, 60Hz matrixes with high native contrast.” [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, #17435658]
How do I shortlist quickly from this thread’s picks?
