That's a good price. My guess is that they are selling it at a loss just to get the technology out there. I haven't researched OLED in a while, but I believe they still have some issues. Image retention being a big one.
I would be surprised if you find anything better in that price range in 2017.

Their Geek Squad will even take my 100 pound Pioneer Elite Pro-1000HD down off the wall.

  Break it in and have it calibrated-or do it yourself with a cheat sheet.
  Let us know what you think.
  Watch out for image retention.

    I paid for calibration on the Pioneer Elite 13 years ago; but then again I paid $13,000 for it too. When I bought a last chance plasma for the bedroom two years ago (Samsung PN51F5500)for $600 I just used cheat sheets from AVSforum and I'm very happy with the results.

      That's pretty much what I did with my Panasonic plasma.
      enjoy,
