I'll point out that Samsung is a massive organisation that builds everything from TVs to Artillery to Ships.

10 years ago I bought a Samsung 4k TV, Bluray+Surround system, Fridge and front-load washing machine at roughly the same time.

All of them are still working.

The washing machine is flawless, despite being basically neglected most of the time.

The fridge is great so long as you don't over-crowd it.

The TV and surround system look and sound great, but the software got worse after purchase and they now work better as 'dumb' devices. HDMI CEC audio dropouts went away when I switched to Optical.

I will in the next 6-ish months be replacing the TV and surround system, but not with Samsung despite their still amazing looking TVs, I don't trust their software not to do dumb/annoying things.
