I agree, Apple products tend to have much better reliability and durability.

Samsung in particular has terrible reliability. From TVs to kitchen appliances—everything I have ever owned Samsung has something go wrong with it within 2 years. Monitors from LG and Asus typically last a decade or more if take care of, though their build quality and quality control are certainly not up to the Apple standard.

With all that said, MKHD is a pretty good reviewer of tech and usually is very favorable towards Apple. He has some fair criticisms here. The Apple Studio Monitor is not a great “value” at $1,600, but he doesn’t say it is a bad product, just a hard product to justify buying. I know I would have a hard time justifying it despite loving the build quality and design.
