Stay away from Samsung LED. The LED panels in the back of the tv go out after about 4 years. Costs more to fix than what tv is worth. I just went out and bought a Sony and now I'm worried mine is going to go out like yours. Cannot win with electronics anymore. It's all built to fail so the consumer has to go out and buy more. Just look at what Apple did with the IPhone. What a scam.

When I was 22-26 I was like... BUY BUY BUY BUY everything. 28-32 I questioned a lot.... 36-40 I learned to fix a lot of things around the house. Washers, Dryers, Hot Water Tanks, Sump Pumps, Furnaces, AC's etc. I even get high quality parts cheap... EBAY is a GEM. There are so many good people on YouTube... they pass the knowledge to you.

As for electronics.... I still have a Kenwood 7X100 THX Receiver. It doesn't even have HDMI ports. I refuse to upgrade.... I hate losing money to these POS companies. I don't buy until it can't be fixed or extremely outdated.

I still own a Samsung Galaxy s3 phone.
