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.

Robert Harris the great film restorer(Lawrence, Spartacus, My Fair Lady which is coming out next week in 4k and the spectacular reviews are saying it is the new reference for UHD) says TVs need to be professionally calibrated.
 

That's a pretty good endorsement. These are all classic films lovingly restored.

The restoration on My Fair Lady in particular must be some kind of reference for both picture and sound.

It's difficult to imagine how it could be any better without losing that lovely period feel.

As far as reliability goes one good standard might be when you are getting impatient for something to break down as an excuse for replacing it.

In my experience that doesn't happen too often, although I do have an old Sony portable radio (1990s) that appears to be indestructible.  As for televisions, I wonder if anyone is still running a cathode ray set. I can't remember having seen one recently.

They must be getting quite rare nowadays.
I think anyone with a young daughter, 10 to 13 years, should sit down and watch this movie: My Fair Lady. Great life lessons

On the other hand, my 4 yr old grandson, of all things, appreciated the green Victoria phonograph in the professor’s office. Maybe an audiophile to-be?
