We bot the one we have at Fred Meyer, and crossing our fingers it doesn't die on us. No sign of that, but wouldn't be surprised if it only lasts 5-6 yrs.

Initially, I didn't want another one, but I ended up getting a 40" Samsung smart TV after a long research about features and ratings. I decided to go with 4K too since I hope to keep this a good while and I figure it will slowly overtake 1080p. I have a Samsung laptop that I want to use with it, which wouldn't pair with my back room Panasonic (that one is now in my room).

I've got a 32" Samsung that I bought about a year and a half ago. I beat it to death. It's on every day for over 12 hours. So far so good. Samsungs seem like they need a little more settings adjustments to get the picture optimized.....I don't mean professional calibration. Just fiddling with the settings.

Also have a year old 55" Vizio in the living room. I like both sets, but we rarely use the Vizio.

One thing I did, and hope not to have to use...Square Trade's warranty plan. I'm not sure what the hoops are that one might have to jump through to get their warranty honored satisfactorily, but I've read good things about them.

Look for coupons online...they regularly offer % off coupons.

Square Trade

I opted for Amazon's 5 year warranty on the set this time, something I hardly ever do, but the cost per year was very reasonable given the price of the TV.

Amazon used to offer Square Trade warranties as an option. I looked before I posted my previous post and didn't find the Square Trade option. They must have decided to offer their own?

It looks nice, and it has good reviews. Samsung makes good products............my new front loading washer and dryer are made by Samsung.............and I personally like smart tv's.

I'll find out tomorrow how it looks, etc when it's set up. It arrived a couple days later than promised, but this being Christmas season, I give them a pass. It's just a TV, not a critical item.

Merry Christmas!
