By the time you might actually need any bell and whistle that Samsung has on its high end TV's - assuming that the bell and whistle "sticks" as most bomb (looking at you curved LED, 3D, Ambient light, and another dozen dumb ones that I cannot recall at the moment), you will find that TCL, Hisense, Vizio and the like will also be selling that bell and whistle for a much lower price.
