Samsung flat screen TV’s


I have purchased 3 large flat screens since 2012 and all of them have died after 3 to 5 years. The last one yesterday, a curved 52inch HD 4K.
The first one began to have serious color aberrations, the second one was strange and turned off and on non-stop. The third (curved) went black, unable to bring up menu, cable fine, sound fine.

Anyone else experience this? Is there a better brand? Bought a Vizio a few years ago which had a beautiful picture but was as fragile as crystal.

Started off with a 50" Samsung plasma in 2007.  Still working fine but started showing a reddish burn-in during really dark scenes about 3 years ago.  Moved it to the bedroom and replaced it with a 55" LG OLED about a year ago.  The LG has a superb picture, but a very weird remote and some very odd function logic quirks.  Still, an excellent TV.

The 2004 27" Toshiba SD flat-screen CRT that was in the bedroom is still going strong, as is the 1989 21" Sony Trinitron it replaced.  The Sony's tuner finally went bad, but the CRT works just fine with and external DTV converter into the auxiliary input.  Picture quality on both is excellent for SD TVs.
