best deal on a quality 50-55 inch television?

My experience is that Samsung makes great phones, earbuds, and TVs, and s***** appliances.

What refridgerator do you have?

I agree with this. I love my Samsung TVs but we bought a "high dollar" Samsung fridge and it lasted about 4 years. The inside back panel constantly froze up, I'd tear it down and defrost it with a hair dryer, (at the end) it'd freeze up every 2-3 days. I bought the parts to fix it but it didn't help. It finally went totally out and flooded the lower compartments and we lost a lot of cheese and meat. Samsung customer service didn't care to help, so I scrapped the fridge. We replaced it a couple of years ago with a much cheaper Whirlpool (water dispenser on the inside/freezer in the bottom) and it's been pretty good so far.

We bought a front load Samsung washer and dryer a few years ago too. The dryer was great but the rubber seal on the washer door would eat up clothing. It final caught a pair of my work jeans and it ripped the rubber seal apart, leaving a mess on the floor. We bought a LG top load washer/dryer 4 years ago but I've had trouble with it leaking and I just replaced the bleach compartment.

No more Samsung/LG appliances for me.

4 door.

The ice maker has been replaced, repaired, and is completely broken and frozen up again, now pushing the refrigerator walls. No warranty on the replacement. It's like $500 to replace it again. It also had a leak in the back that required service.

Total POS.

This is why they'll have to pry my old appliances out of my cold dead hands.

Yeah, we have a Samsung side by side. The pump for the water dispenser went out at about 1 year. It ran water, and I was able to catch the water in a garden hose, and run it outside until a repairman got there.
Refridgerators used to last 30 years. I think most appliances are built to last about 7 years these days. Profit is the motive.

younger son has our old 40 yo Ken more as a spare in his garage, daughter has our 25 yo whirlpool in her garage as a spare, we have our 15 yo kitchenade (company award) in our garage, and new GE (wife had to have matte black in the new house to match her Ilve oven)
Lots of ice makers replaced but so far all the guts have been solid
