It first happened just a few minutes after getting the TV set up, plugging in an Apple TV and hitting up Netlfix. About 5 minutes into a movie, I noticed what I call a blip, video was fine, but audio cut out for a split second. A couple minutes later, it did it again. I know when I first got my XBOX 360 I had to unplug and plug the HDMI to get the audio to work right, so I didn't think anything of it, unplugged the AppleTV from TV, plugged it back in, and it did fine for probably another 45 minutes. So I tried just pausing it, thinking it was maybe like a mini-buffering type issue. Again, no blips for 45 minutes to an hour, but later trials on a different TV show it wasn't an internet issue. Did reset on sound options from menu, good for an hour or so. TV is currently unplugged and I'm going to give it another shot in the morning because I don't think I can stay awake to pay attention for another hour tonight, but I'd like to know if anyone has any advice, or if it sounds like I just have a bad unit. Sadly didn't have any other HDMI devices around to test on, and forums are clogged up with non-TV Samsung devices, and worse issues, like audio cutting out indefinitely unless they change channels and stuff. I tried to look at reviews before getting a TV to avoid issues like this, but practically everyone that has a problem will review negatively, but many people that love the product won't review at all, and it just made the whole process feel so defeatist.
edit: I'm not going to say that it's solved, but I think the issue was not the TV, but either the Apple TV (which is an older model and may not be able to handle streaming to 1080p, the other TV that it worked great with was 720) OR it could have been a cheap HDMI cord. There were no blips when I watched Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, which I believe tops out at 720p on Netflix, and I have not had any issues at all on my PS4.
