The recent failure occurred quietly and right in front of me, watching a Blu-ray JH in Maui. No storm, no flicker, no pop or smoke. Just went black instantly.We should all go so peacefully. I have a 13yo Panasonic plasma I can’t kill. It’s a good TV, but as @oldhvymec has mentioned it’s spent it’s entire life fed by an APC conditioner that includes power regulation as will all my TVs going forward. That said, in working at Magnolia for a bit I saw a lot of Samsungs and LGs come back through the door but never one Sony, FWIW. In reviewing Consumer Reports Sony has a better reliability rating than all the others. Could be a coincidence, but for me that’s where I’m putting my $$$ when my Panny finally fades to black. I also think they have among the best pictures and technology as well, so there’s that. Hope this helps.
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.
