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.

"Thats 3 for Sony, ... alas no longer Japanese?"

At some point, many years ago, there was S-LCD. Company making screens. It was owned by SONY and........Samsung. It has since then changed to entirely Samsung so SONY could get snuggly with......Sharp.

At about that time, Philips and LG had LG-Philips Displays. I think it is only LG now.

I know it does not help OP, but just to make brand loyalty a little less convincing.

My Sony was expensive when purchased in 2012, but is still working great today, so not that expensive considering the service life.
