The left part of the screen of my parent’s Samsung TV have seriously blackened recently, so they are thinking of buying a new TV. We probably bought this like 6 years ago maybe, but I absolutely do NOT want to buy a Samsung again (6 years is just planned obsolescence reliability + their OS didn’t let me remove the bloatware in any way or shape of form)
Which brand has been the most reliable for you, and also have you been able to remove the bloatware from your TV via dev mode or with a different method?
LG, my grandma’s LG Flatscreen CRT is older than me, it is about 23 years old, works like a charm, very loud stereo speakers, ports and all important buttons in the front easily accessible, usable even without the remote thanks to the front buttons all clearly labelled
That’s CRT though, not exactly the same as new flat screens. CRT were all much more reliable.
Also brands are hard to decide since so many of them design shit to fail now. There is a Samsung washer that used two types of metals in the drum, metals that when touching dissolve each other basically, galvanic corrosion. It was literally designed to break prematurely.
