Samsung flat screen TV’s

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!

My Pioneer Kuro plasma has been working perfectly since I bought it in 2008. It's probably got around 15,000 hours on it. When I replace it it will be either an LG or Sony OLED. Sony uses LG panels but has a marginally better picture due to using their own processors.  

I agree with Quincy. The OLEDs look fantastic in the store but I'm still perfectly satisfied with the picture quality on the Pioneer.

I'm wondering how many of the problematic Samsungs and other brand problem TVs come come from Costco. Some of the products they sell are special runs done for them to meet a certain price point. I've never bought a TV at Costco and I've never had a TV fail. We end up replacing them after many years as a result of newer technology but only after a considerable period of time. Our current most used is a then TOTL Sony purchased new and dated February 2011. Purchased, delivered, and installed amazingly enough by Amazon, future owners of planet Earth. 

I doubt that's the case. From what I understand the model numbers may be slightly different but the specifications are almost always the same. This is the case for models sold at Best Buy, Costco, BJ's, Walmart, etc. It's a way for the manufacturer to keep track of what's going to which retailer and also to help retailers
avoid price matching.
