Over the past 5 or so years everyone I know who previously held Samsung in high regard for non-phone products has had an experience which has put them completely off the brand for the foreseeable future. They market themselves as high-end, but their reliability, service, and usability are worse than the budget brands. It doesn't matter how awesome your TV screen looks if it stops working after 4 months because some proprietary internal part fries itself and takes the panel with it and they want to charge you $1000 to repair it.
