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.
My Samsung S90C OLED is pretty good. I spent a lot of time researching TVs and user reviews before I bought it though, and an LG OLED also made the shortlist.
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.
Same experience here with any Samsung TV made in the last 10 years. I bought a cheap 40" Samsung in 2010 that worked perfect for a decade, but after buying a new one I had problems immediately with it not recognizing inputs, scrambled screen occasionally when I turn it on, and the menu sticking on screen occasionally.
My BIL has gone through probably 4 separate Samsung QLED TVs in the last several years because they keep breaking on him (coincidentally his kids have also been over the last few days doing laundry because their Samsung washer and dryer is broken for the hundredth time).
I also recently bought an LG OLED (C3) and it’s the best TV I’ve ever used.
Samsung products are just pure garbage now and have been on a steady decline over the last 10 years.

I have a samsung tv from 2016 and it always lags terribly when switching inputs. Sometimes the menu takes 20 seconds to load. What is it doing?
