I recently got rid of a Samsung "smart" TV that I only had for a few years. It felt as though the UI were intentionally designed to be hostile. Even changing the inputs was not as simple as selecting an HDMI port. The TV had to determine what was connected to it so that it could show a cute icon for it. It also applied preset picture settings for the device, which were often horrible. After digging through the absolutely nonsensical menus, you could get the picture to look alright. I often had to turn off various enhancers and game modes to make it look remotely reasonable. Too bad it would repeatedly forget the settings every week or so. Even though the display panel itself was quite nice, I had resolved to just having a horrible picture at all times. I never used the actual connectivity features as I had my own external devices for that. The whole thing was an absolute dumpster fire of a product and it will not be missed. After that, I refuse to even consider any product from Samsung that isn't just a single component in something else (e.g. an SSD). Life is too short. (and none of this even gets to the various privacy concerns about the company, especially with their TVs)
