Doesn't matter what brand you get, they all are designed to fail at some point. Can't sell new ones if the old ones still work.We got our deposit as a new year gift overnight. As for the TV topic, I bought it Sharp 60 inch 6-2010, still works perfect. Paid $2,000.00 at the time. 7 years later coulda picked one up for $600.00. A Best Buy salesman told me 5 years ago to avoid Sharp for awhile since they sold out to another company. Sharp invented the LED TV. After what I’ve read here I think I’ll avoid Samsung and I’ve never had any long term success with Sony. A few family members have had good long term success with LG.
