I'll never buy another Samsung TV. I bought a top of the line LCD/LED TV in late 2020 and it had so many weird issues:

It had frame rate issues with some streaming devices. It was widely reported as an issue in the Samsung forums, but it was never fixed.

The interface wasn't user friendly, taking many many more button presses to switch Inputs than any other TV I've had.

The grid of LEDs that were supposed to turn on and off to help make dark spots darker ended up being distracting, you could clearly see when one or two of the LEDs turned on, causing an area to get highlighted by comparison.

Nope, never again, I bought an nice LG OLED and it's great, build quality, UI, responsiveness, picture quality.

I have a samsung tv from 2016 and it always lags terribly when switching inputs. Sometimes the menu takes 20 seconds to load. What is it doing?
