And if you believe that, I have a bridge here in NY City that you can own for real cheap.

Let's just say that statement is true, ignoring the technical challenges involved in such a thing. 80% or more of their TVs failed just out of warranty.

Would you buy a new Samsung TV to replace it?

No?

Then how long you think they'll be in business with nobody buying a second TV?

Anyone in business knows the way to build sales is to have high reliability, not low. So, barring any credible evidence to the contrary, what you wrote is surely a myth, not worth repeating.

I haven't had any problems with my Samsung in the 15ish months I've owned it.
