Granted, this is just an anecdote, but I have several Samsung appliances; oven/stove, dishwasher, microwave, televisions, smart phone(okay, I guess those are technically an electronic), and I haven't had any issues with them. They've served me well, even if I haven't been the kindest to them.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is "your mileage may vary."

I got one Samsung TV for free for one reason or another -- it never really worked properly because all its spyware shit kept tripping up on my custom DNS server.

I have a Samsung TV as well, and it's spamming ARP requests to every device in my home.

There is no good reason to connect any tv to the internet. External devices, those can be connected. But to me the tv is just a big dumb screen.

I disagree; I find it useful to have apps like YouTube on my TV, it's handy not having to plug in another device to watch content.

I plugged it in once and never thought about it again. It's essentially like my TV is a smart tv.
