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

After set-up: Immediate impressions - the sound was stunning - best I have ever heard from a TV by far, so was the 4K picture, when I found some 4K content (Youtube) to display. Sharp and gorgeous picture. Problem was the regular cable signal (from a digital Comcast cable box), which is the majority of the content I get (I still have the cord). It looked worse than any TV I've had in 20 years! Edges were soft and hazy. I thought Samsung compromised to get you a 4K set, but then I thought it was because I had routed the cables through an old VHS/DVD player. So I took that out and went directly from the box to the TV. No improvement. Went to Google - found that I needed to use the HDMI out of the cable box, not the analog cable signal selection. I should have thought of that earlier. Google again to the rescue. -g- Problem solved. You have to make sure you select the HDMI input source for watching regular TV, NOT the antenna/cable selection. The TV is noticeably smaller than the one that was in there before, but when you go large with these 4Ks, expect to pay over $1000.00. That was not something I wanted to do given that I don't watch TV as much anymore. So, I got the smallest one they offered, a 40 inch. I went down in size but way up in quality. A happy trade off. Rating so far, 4.5 stars out of 5.
