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.

This is the best reply - we've had a pair of Samsungs - one for over 10 years and a larger 4K for 8 with no problems at all. Reading online and in the manuals led us to changing the picture level from the factory settings that shorten the tv's lives. You can do this yourselves though - it is a simple process.

The answer is to get your TV professionally calibrated after you buy it. That way the TV does not have to struggle to produce a great picture. All TV’s in shops have their colour and brightness boosted. There is no way you should use these settings because they can cause burn-out too soon.
