Is this the best price?

**New for 2017. The Samsung QN65Q7F QLED TV is a top-of-the-line 65-inch fourth generation of Flat Screen 4K Ultra HD TVs from Samsung. Samsung is introducing the HDR (high dynamic Range) HDR1500 line of TVs that have the new (Quantum Dots) QLED technology, including the QLED Q7F Series. This technology has produced the best LED TV picture Samsung has ever produced. The Quantum Dot (QLED) technology produces a brighter picture, deeper blacks (4K Elite Black), increases color volume by 100%, for more natural vivid colors (billions of shades of color). QLED also minimizes color washout when viewing from the side, for great colors that pop wherever you sit. High dynamic range (HDR) gives you more shadow detail, brighter whites, and more natural colors. A 4K Ultra HD TV provides 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is four times the resolution of Full HD. This allows you to sit closer to a larger TV and get the immersive movie theater experience. Most movie theaters now use a 4K projector, so in effect you will have movie theater resolution in the home.

In addition, this TV is equipped with HDR1500 technology to give you high dynamic range for more natural colors, brighter whites, deeper blacks. 4K Ultra HD resolution will give you 8 megapixels of screen, versus only 2 megapixels in regular HD.

Native 4K content is just emerging. Native 4K Blu-ray players have been introduced in 2017. Netflix and Amazon already have 4K content and more is on the way. This TV comes with the latest 4K standards: including HDMI 2.0 , and HEVC (h.265) decoder built-in. These will allow high speed 4K (60fps) and 4K Streaming.
