I don’t know about the Samsung TV’s, but our Samsung Blu-Ray player lasted just 3 months before losing its mind. We didn’t even use it that much - maybe once a week for Netflix.
Maybe our family is just snakebitten, but I have heard similar tales from family members about Samsung products. They vow they will never purchase another Samsung product. I concur.
Hope you have better luck.
We are happy with our Panasonic Viera plasma TV which we purchased 3 months ago for a great price at Sears. It works great.
Thank you! Good to know. The TVs have a real high CNET rating.
Now that I think of it, CNET ratings are from a tech perspective and probably have nothing to do with longevity.
By far the best option going out there.
By far!

Hate to say never, but I’ve never had good results from a samsung product.I will avoid them whenever possible
Samsung makes many good products but for some reason, they have a reputation for making horrible blu-ray players, I don’t know why but I’ve read complaints from the very beginning of blu-ray.
I think they make pretty good TVs though.
I have a Samsung computer monitor, and a few years ago, it started going dark at random intervals. I opened it up and resoldered every joint I could find in the power supply area, and that fixed it and it’s been perfect ever since (built in 2004).
But that still left a bad taste in my mouth, and I recently bought a Panasonic 32” Viera LED TV, which is excellent.
My only regret was not holding out for a 37” (which I couldn’t locate at the time), which would have just barely fit in the space I had for it.
Anything bigger would have meant a major reorganization of my living room. I don’t watch enough TV to justify that.
