Samsung far surpasses Apple in terms of continuity. Your phone is connected to your watch and tablet, of course, but also to your TV set, fridge, oven, washing machine…
But it seems to fall behind Apple in terms of reliability. I see many user comments saying that this or that accessory doesn't work properly, or that the quality is sub-par.

What do you do with the fridge, oven, and washing machine? Watch ads until Samsung decides they don’t want to run the servers anymore and bricks the appliances?

It’s bad enough we can’t get non-smart tvs to plug appleTV into. I’m definitely not buying an internet connected fridge.

None of that actually works though. The company has zero connected thinking. They run different Android OS versions or even Tizen. And they then need DIFFERENT apps to control them ( even though they bought and ruined smartthings )

Then they may Get a few years of updates and then they forget about them. I bought one of the connect fridges on a deal. Great fridge. junk tablet. I hacked it to run a Home Assistant view.

The Frame is a prime example of this. It's a really bad actual TV for one thing ( even the Pro ) BUT a great art device. The software however is TERRIBLE... They want you to sign up tot use their Art despite it being mostly free elsewhere and you may like 10% of it... it's art. And they make it really hard to put your own images on there. I have one with Family images / Art work / movie posters etc but you cannot put these in folders at all or play different types etc. it's just a single folder of images you can either play though or random.

I only put up with it because it was £350 + £50 to the Landscape to Portrait motor mount, which is so cool.
 
My Samsung tv was god when I first bought it. Then some os updates made it run so slow it was virtually unusable. This was surely deliberate in their part. Time to upgrade!

Then the final straw was that when you turned it on, it always went to a partner pay channel that they wanted you to subscribe to. And not the last channel you were on, like how all tvs have been for 50-60 years.

It was amazing - an even worse user experience than windows.

I didn’t think that was possible.

Non-smart TVs: I think the only option would to buy a large monitor.

if you open the case, you will see it reads "Samsung" or "LG" on the display
 
Any Samsung "QLED" TV?
QLED TVs on Samsung's website don't look particularly expensive compared to OLED equivalents. For example, they have a 75-inch QLED for $600, while the cheapest 77-inch OLED (there's no 75-inch with OLED) is $1,500. And QLED/Mini-LED TVs from comparable competitors don't seem to be much cheaper. Granted, with companies like Samsung or Apple, part of the price you're paying is for the brand name.
