My video monitors (all six of them), and my big screen smart TV, are all Samsung. When monitors were tubes, I bought Sony. LCDs, I buy Samsung. Never have had a bad one, and some have lasted for 8 years of daily use — they’re all still in service.
But my computer hardware is Fujitsu and Apple, and my mobiles are all Apple (prior to smartphones, I bought LG).
I really like Samsung, for monitors. If I could justify the cost I’d buy Apple monitors because they’re the only ones better, but they’re overkill for the type of work I do.
The Asus Zenfone 2 which will be out in three months will only pile onto Samsung’s issues. Hell of a lot of phone for $200 off contract.
