I don't know if I've just been unlucky with Samsung TV's, but I don't think I'll ever buy another one. I bought one of their last non-"smart" HD sets and after 18-24 months horizontal lines started to die out. I figured it was on me for buying old stock to avoid the "smart" TV's or maybe it got more use than I remembered.

I then bought one of their current 4k "smart" TV's and by circumstance it didn't get much use. Just the same, after 18-24 months horizontal lines started to die out.

Also, when new, the smart features ran well enough that I didn't immediately buy a 4k Apple TV for it. However, it seems like they push out over the air updates to the software because the experience has considerably slowed down to the point of being noticeable and unpleasant.

Edit: both were purchased through Amazon
 
8k...LOL

There isn't a TV in the world worth $1000 plus.
Must like smaller 4K TVs. Even their modest 4K C2 OLED line that is much lighter and brighter is priced $1699/$1249 of 65"/55" and is a bargain. Also no long term burn-in using standard settings compared to Samsung new OLED line per rtings testing.

These screen shots showed images from LG Electronics’ 2022 G2 and C2 OLED TVs that appeared to be completely free of any permanent image retention, alongside screen shots of two TVs that use Samsung Display’s QD OLED technology, Samsung’s S95B and Sony’s A95K, that both showed signs of image burn-in. The issue was particularly clear on Samsung’s S95B.

I’ve had the same issue with their tvs. And I’ve also had a fridge and washer/dryer set both crap out after a few years. I’m done buying anything Samsung.

We've purchased Samsung refrigerators from Best Buy and Lowes. Each one has an ice maker that has crapped out. And before you ask, we've done the part replacement and hacks from the web. In Minnesota, no repair shop will touch Samsung, so when you call it in under warranty...they send you the purchase price in cash, or a new refrigerator. We've done both.

On that note I replaced Maytag with LG washers been working like champs, the Maytag washer was one of this angled ones and the bearing wore out. Samsung washers fared poorly with some damage involved to their placement. LG Microwave over range type was far superior with metal liner and handle all metal, compared to more plastic Samsung door handles. Refrigerators I'd go with KitchenAid because their repair records are good and ease to get service.

You forgot to add “to me” to the end of your sentence. Last year, my wife and I bought a discontinued 2021 82” Samsung 4K QLED for $1,400. (Had we waited a few more months, we could have gotten it for $1,000.) We had moved cross-country from a house where we’d had a 1080P projector and a 120” screen, and we needed something to tide us over while we’re living in an apartment, waiting for a new house to be built. I figured we’d get a cheap 65” TV to use elsewhere in the house later, but this deal was too good to pass up. While 82” obviously is smaller than 120”, the image quality is so much better that we’re not sure we’ll bother installing our old projector at our new house. For us, $1,400 was more than worth it. To paraphrase your post, “There isn’t a car in the world worth $30,000 plus — to me.” But, yeah, I don’t get 8K. From a normal viewing distance, I could see the pixels from our 1080P projector, but I can’t see the pixels from our 4K TV.
