NEVER buy a Samsung TV... they're horrible.

They have the same contempt for software that they do on their phones.

They NEVER update their firmware. It's amazingly slow and latent.

When they DO occasionally update they usually break things that were working or remote features you used.

About 2 years ago they implemented some weird/stupid popover commercial thing which you could eventually disable but they hid the feature.

I'd be watching Game of Thrones or something and in the middle of the show they'd bring up a popup for a new TV show or something along those lines.

NEVER buy a TV. Even better. They are all horrible. I thought that TVs would be a thing of the past like landline phones, but looks like I was wrong. It's incredible that the gullible are swarming to "smart" TVs.

I mean you can get a TV much like you get a computer monitor except bigger.

That screen has no business connecting to the internet.

Even better is a home projector.

No, I enjoy paying 50% more than necessary for the paucity of features the Samsung sparingly distributes at each price point!
