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.

PLASMA!!
Pioneer Elite!

17 years and still running strong!  Zero Issues.....

Grand sons beat on the screen, no ill effect.
50 year life expectancy on a good Plasma TV.

To bad the government killed off Plasma due to high electrical usage, and excessive weight.  (My Plasma weighs over 100 pounds)
I look at LG's OLED everytime I go to Costco, but can't justify the purchase when I come home and view my 1080i Plasma!

Doni also makes a good point!  You can feel the heat from a Plasma screen a good foot away!  I don't believe you can even purchase a Plasma anymore.  Another good technology abandoned due to government mandates!
