Samsung flat screen TV’s

I have two Samsungs for many years - still OK.  Few years ago I bought larger TV - a 65" Sony and it is great TV  (XBR-65X900F).  In addition it is based on Android OS, so I can install applications and it updates firmware often.

Is it possible that your TVs are dying because of power surges (power line or cable)?
  

No, I don’t think so as I use high quality albeit conventional surge protectors. The recent failure occurred quietly and right in front of me, watching a Blu-ray JH in Maui. No storm, no flicker, no pop or smoke. Just went black instantly.

I’ve got 2 votes for Sony. The old stalwart

I've had great luck with Samsung TVs. Own 2 and both are medium-high end models. One is 15 years old and one is 7 yrs old. Nary an issue with either one. With that said we do not leave them on 24/7. Given your poor failure rate I'm guessing power surges or they are running all the time. If they are the lowest end models then maybe get go a bit higher up the product line.  

If you're loosing equipment protect it.. You need to maintain 120vac for the TV too, guys.. All of my gear issues were fixed 40 year ago with maintainers... Never a problem sense.. No more power supplies failing in PC, TV, Microwaves, 3 refrigerators, a FEW thing just didn't add up..

Washing machine motors, WHY would that fail? LOW VOLTAGE

LOW Voltage is the worst thing that can happen to NEW gear.. like a TV.

Get HOT is not the word for it.... BOIL is...

OP you have a voltage problem, I don't even need to look and can figure that one out...

The only thing around here that quits working is because I BLOW IT UP...

Cable drop. 2019..15K... YUP... I did what PG&E couldn't..

ONE FUMBLE.. POW...
