I'll never buy another Samsung TV. I bought a top of the line LCD/LED TV in late 2020 and it had so many weird issues:
It had frame rate issues with some streaming devices. It was widely reported as an issue in the Samsung forums, but it was never fixed.
The interface wasn't user friendly, taking many many more button presses to switch Inputs than any other TV I've had.
The grid of LEDs that were supposed to turn on and off to help make dark spots darker ended up being distracting, you could clearly see when one or two of the LEDs turned on, causing an area to get highlighted by comparison.
Nope, never again, I bought an nice LG OLED and it's great, build quality, UI, responsiveness, picture quality.
I did this as well. Been buying Samsung since 2006 and finally said let's get a high end one around 2017... it was incredible, for like 4 months, then it started having some issues with lines appearing on and off. It was so quick at first I didn't think to take action (also in denial). By the time it was bad it was like a year later and the warranty was over. I haven't needed a tv in years since I'm living with it, but the next one will no longer be a samsung.
