They told me 7 when I checked out at the store, but looking at the paperwork it is only 5. First 2 years covered by either the manufacturer or Costco Wholesale, and three extra years came free through their SquareTrade Protection Plan.

My model number is UN82MU800D. No FXZA after the D. Does that mean it is the dummed down version? As for source, I mainly use the Plex and Netflix app on the tv. I have noticed it more in our older movies (through Plex) which are 1080 or even 720 resolution which makes sense with up scaling...
