At this point I'll never buy another Samsung product. If my computer goes to sleep, the Samsung monitor I have will be distorted and non-functional when the computer wakes up, for a duration of time relative to how long the computer was asleep (i.e. how long the monitor wasn't receiving a signal and was "off"). I've missed meetings at work because I cannot use the monitor for literally half an hour. Of course this started happening just after the 1 year warranty period ran out. My Samsung ~58" TV has black lines forming across it after just ~3 years. The lines are gradually increasing in number and strength, so I guess I'm going to be buying a new TV screen soon. A family member has Samsung oven (???) which has its interior light blinking on and off intermittenly when you open or close the door. The oven's LED screen is like 10% brightness. Their Samsung fridge is the worst-designed fridge I've ever used, making the approximate worst possible use of the space the appliance takes up. The best is their Samsung microwave: when something is done being microwaved and you take out the food and close the door, the microwave runs again for ~1 second. Like... really though? There was a time Samsung made some good stuff, but for me they are not worth giving a moment's consideration anymore, sadly.

I've had the opposite experience. My current TV is a Samsung and has been going for many years with no problems whatsoever. My last TV was also a Samsung and I only replaced it (after many years of use) because I wanted a bigger and better TV. I also have a Samsung fridge, and that has been going about 5 years with no issues.

  Evidently I touched a nerve of somewhat strong opinion. I suppose the intended reference to the Tab and Note 7 might have been made more overt.

Adding to this list, we have a Samsung refrigerator that has been serviced three times in five years. Twice for the ice maker (motor failure and sensor broken by...wait for it...too much ice) and a third time for the wires in the deli drawer getting chewed up in the track because Samsung could not be bothered to protect them. A truly stupid design. I hate that I paid real dollars for that product and I cannot afford to replace it. Neighbor has similar history with their Samsung oven. Do not buy their appliances, at the very least. They are terrible.
