Samsung flat screen TV’s

I have purchased 3 large flat screens since 2012 and all of them have died after 3 to 5 years. The last one yesterday, a curved 52inch HD 4K.
The first one began to have serious color aberrations, the second one was strange and turned off and on non-stop. The third (curved) went black, unable to bring up menu, cable fine, sound fine.

Anyone else experience this? Is there a better brand? Bought a Vizio a few years ago which had a beautiful picture but was as fragile as crystal.

I have had great luck with LG TVs.  From 79" OLEG on down to 49".

My Samsung 55 died after 3 years then I switched to a LG OLED 65. So far everything works great and the picture is still as good as day one.

We have 5 Samsung TV’s at home.  They run all the time.   The oldest is 8 years the newest 2 years. Honestly, I wish that one of them would die so I can mount a serious effort to convince my wife we must have an 8k TV.

Fingers crossed: I just replaced a very old LG Commercial monitor (straight monitor) with an LG OLED TV. Then I had to replace a perfectly good but older Denon AVR due to the (too frigging smart) eARC crap.
