Samsung flat screen TV’s

I discovered a trick for this:  Buy the television at Best Buy, and get the maximum tern on the warranty.  When it fails, after the third trip to you house, including the initial diagnogsis, and return with the correct parts, they buy if back for what it, or an exact equivlavent then sells for.  The last one only cost me $170, including the cost of the warranty.  It actually works great, but lost its "Smartness".  I asked what to do with it, and was told that if I returned it, there would be a disposal fee.  This experience was enough to prove to me that they are disposable junk.  Don't waste your money on expensive ones.

My 50" LG LED is into it's 7th year with no issues and is used 4-7 hours per day.  The LG Blu-Ray is 8 years old with no porblems.

purchased 36" sony xbr in 2000. ruined the right side of my body getting it in the house. 400 pounds +/- with the stand. dead in 23 months. $2500.00 bucks, poof. no more sony tv for me. purchased 32" samsung a few years later. 2 years dead. free repair. gave it to my neighbor. purchased 49" LG around 2007. in the basement now, still working great. current tv is LG E-65 OLED. purchased a few years ago. best picture i had ever seen. as of today i haven't seen any tv beat a top of the line LG. the reports of voice lag are real, and i don't care. when run through the marantz that issue is eliminated. had some friends over to watch the Masters golf tournament . the comments were "Stunning" and "beautiful". i could go on and on. blue rays and 4K content, hdr,....yadda blah...lg fan boy stuff. my 2 cents..

I have 3 panasonic plasmas.  A 16 y/o 42”, 
11y/o 58” and 10 y/o 65”. All still working great. My wife has been waiting for the 42” one to break down and be replaced for the last 8 years now...

Doni also makes a good point!  You can feel the heat from a Plasma screen a good foot away!  I don't believe you can even purchase a Plasma anymore.  Another good technology abandoned due to government mandates!
