Granted, this is just an anecdote, but I have several Samsung appliances; oven/stove, dishwasher, microwave, televisions, smart phone(okay, I guess those are technically an electronic), and I haven’t had any issues with them. They’ve served me well, even if I haven’t been the kindest to them.
I guess the point I’m trying to make is “your mileage may vary.”
I got one Samsung TV for free for one reason or another – it never really worked properly because all its spyware shit kept tripping up on my custom DNS server.
They have a reputation for not lasting very long. I’ve already been avoiding them for that reason, so when I see a $4000 Samsung fridge I’m like lol nope
I’ve had terrible experiences with LG TVs. Parents owned an old and a newer model, both 65" I think. The OS was so fing slow, I couldn’t really browse through different apps smoothly and seemlessly. Couple this with how the older LG has issues with WiFi where you’d log in in the settings, confirm that the connection has been made, but then once you exited settings it was like if the connection wasn’t ever made in the first place.
I’ve had suuuch a better time with Roku TVs than LGs, I’ve owned 2 Rokus in my life. OS is smooth, apps are intuitive, no issues with connections. The idle screen is nice too.
No experience with Samsung TVs tho. Would be nice to see how an OLED looks, but my 4k Roku is fine for now
Protip: Avoid Samsung when buying appliances

I have a Samsung TV as well, and it’s spamming ARP requests to every device in my home.
There is no good reason to connect any tv to the internet. External devices, those can be connected. But to me the tv is just a big dumb screen.
I disagree; I find it useful to have apps like YouTube on my TV, it’s handy not having to plug in another device to watch content.
Why? I am genuinely curious.

And LG - they are both hot garbage.
Their TVs are great, had 1 for more than 10 years and a second going on 6 and we’re really happy both.
Can’t speak for anything else though.
