Thinking about getting this tv for our living room in 3 weeks for so. Any reviews on this tv? Hoping it will go on sale for the superbowl in a few weeks as well.

I say if you're going to pay 3 Grand for a TV, just go ahead and get OLED TV. No, it wont be a 75"er but it will have the best screen and richest, deepest colors money can buy.
I own an LG 4K w/ IPS Display TV (which this model also has) and the contrast and black uniformity absolutely blows. It has a greyish hue to it and you cant get rid of it. I tinkerted with the settings for a week, the IPS display simply wont do it. Mine is a model below the one you listed.
The OS is awesome and the TV is beautiful, but I got one hell of a deal on mine and I still wouldn't buy another one. Simply does not have enough contrast and deepness of the blacks for my liking. In fact, I have a top of the line LG LCD from 2009 that still looks better than this one.
Just look at rtings.com test on black uniformity and contrast tests, tells you all you need to know. LINK
I know everyone on this board gushes about the Panasonic KS8000. It's cheaper and has much deeper blacks. Only goes to a 65" though, but it is about as good an LED TV as on the market right now. LINK
It's damn comparable to LG's base OLED model.

^^^ What he said.
I recently bought the same TV in the 55" an ended up returning it and getting a Samsung 8 series (KS800) which is phenomenal and the picture is stunning.
The LG was just awful, especially in a dark room with a dark scene. It's like the whole picture was lost in the black and when we brightened the picture it had a grayish haze to it.
The only TV I would take over the Samsung 8 or 9 series is the LG OLED, but to me the difference in price is simply too much to justify buying the OLED.

OLED is not the best technology for 4K HDR content. The panel doesn't get bright enough for the colors it needs to produce. I'd buy the Samsung in a heartbeat over the LG. Samsung is coming out with QLED next year if they can still source panels.

Ok after looking going to roll with the UN65KS8000 for my living room. I enjoyed the past Samsungs I have had and dont think its worth the extra 1200 for OLED. Thanks for the help
Now trying to find TVs for my bedrooms. Looking at the UN40KU6300. Seems as a decent tv, but would there be something comparable for a bedroom tv to get more bang for my buck being a tad cheaper? TIA

Bang for your buck not really. If you want cheaper than yes. Just need to decide how much bang you need.

I was more meaning is there a series very similar to that tv, that may be worth the savings and not much difference for a bedroom tv I guess.

Good call. I just got one last week. It's fantastic

I assume Samsung is still debuting a QLED panel at CES next week? They have 3 new TV's there to debut. Hoping so.
