I bought a Samsung TV in 2021, not even a year in and it needed a screen replacement. After a year and a half of replacing that screen, the same issue happened again and now I’m told I need another screen replacement. This is said to cost me the same amount as a new TV. Everyone I asked for help just shrugs their shoulders and advises me to just pay for the repairs even though we all know that that screen won’t last even a year. I don’t know if it’s a money grabbing scheme that Samsung is making all their TVs fail the same way and within 3 years. Now we forced to by a Sony which is the best apparently but it’s so expensive. Really disappointed in Samsung, especially Samsung South Africa.

I have had my samsung tv since April 2021 and have had no service issues. When cleaning the screen, i follow directions for proper cleaning, and I make sure not to leave screen on a still image for too long. I paid an arm for the tv so my family isn't even allowed to sneeze in the direction of the tv.
I dont wet a cloth to clean. I just use microfiber as insteucted.
I am unsure as well, but if it proved to be too high maintence, then yes, a traditional brand of tv would probably work better.
