Samsung flat screen TV’s

@jdoris 
Samsung appliances have terrible repair/reliability history.
For dishwashers, we have always found Kitchen Aid in the
$900 range to be very dependable and trouble free.
    

Have an LG 86" which I like very much. Can’t imagine anything smaller for my relatively small living room and I don’t even consider it very big for my space. Kind of wish I had gotten a projector for 120".
Robert Harris the great film restorer(Lawrence, Spartacus, My Fair Lady which is coming out next week in 4k and the spectacular reviews are saying it is the new reference for UHD) says TVs need to be professionally calibrated. So I'm thinking wow my TV can look even better? But I have no idea how much it will be so I have to be satisfied for now.

That's a pretty good endorsement. These are all classic films lovingly restored.

The restoration on My Fair Lady in particular must be some kind of reference for both picture and sound.

It's difficult to imagine how it could be any better without losing that lovely period feel.

As far as reliability goes one good standard might be when you are getting impatient for something to break down as an excuse for replacing it.

In my experience that doesn't happen too often, although I do have an old Sony portable radio (1990s) that appears to be indestructible.  As for televisions, I wonder if anyone is still running a cathode ray set. I can't remember having seen one recently.

They must be getting quite rare nowadays.

I think anyone with a young daughter, 10 to 13 years, should sit down and watch this movie: My Fair Lady. Great life lessons

On the other hand, my 4 yr old grandson, of all things, appreciated the green Victoria phonograph in the professor’s office. Maybe an audiophile to-be?
