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.

Hey recluse,

Was the one that turned on and off hooked up to a cable box? I don't mean to state the obvious if everyone knows this, but cable boxes have to be rebooted from time to time or else they will exhibit this same behavior, making it appear the TV isn't working. I've had a Panasonic for 13 years, an LG for 9, and a Vizio for 6 (all LCD or LED) and they're all going strong.
