Samsung flat screen TV’s

Had decent luck with LG's....

Have one nearly 20ish years old that still works...

One the other hand, had one go 'foom' when a cat decided to attack a bug on the screen....resisted sending cat into exile.

Replaced with a new one, slightly larger, somewhat 'smarter'...so far, so good.

I always check the reviews...if 80+% give it 4 and above, it's in contention.

Place your bets...and good luck.

I bought a 65” 4K Samsung over 5 years ago and have had no problems.  I researched before buying and learned that some versions had screens made in China that were inferior to those made in Korea.  There were 4 digit codes that indicated which screen was used, so I made sure to have the salesman verify the code for me.  I also went on-line and found calibration codes and configured it myself, and it definitely made an improvement.  I don’t have the set plugged into anything other than a high-quality surge protector and so far no problems.

I bought a refurbished Samsung 42” TV back in 2010 and it is still going strong.  Meanwhile, my girlfriend’s son bought a used 70” Sony from a friend and it went out within a year.  We don’t know how old the set was, but he was sure bummed. 

I have heard good good things about LG and Sony, and not such good things about Visio.

I have a 12 year old, 1080p LG and it's as sharp as it ever was. My 3½ year old 4K LG is looking great as well.

I had a Visio 1080p in a spare room, that croaked 1 month after it's one year warranty expired.

Most of my family members had had great luck with LG.

Another vote for Sony, HX920, native panel 200hz, full local dimming, 3D, gorilla glass, monolithic design, elegant, great picture even in SD. 
10 years and counting. Also have a Sony Trinitron, 20+ years that works like new.

I have 2 Panasonic Plasmas that still look great apart from a lack of 4k definition.I have recently purchased an LG and the picture is great.
