I had two Samsung's. They had REALLY big latency (I pressed something on the remote and it literally took 3-5 seconds). This was especially annoying in menus. And overall just bad (e.g. ads in menus?!) Then I got a LG OLED and it runs like on the first day. He is 5 years old now. Yeah definitely, HP is a printer company, that's like buying a apple car. Good way of thinking!

That's a fair point about the menus. Mine aren't annoying slow, but they definitely aren't instant, either, unless it's volume etc. I also forgot about the ads, as I block those at the router, but yeah, that's a bit shitty, too. I'm certainly not a brand loyalist. I'll just get the best in my budget at the time. Last couple times that's been Samsung.

Makes sense to judge a brand on their individual product lines, rather than the entire brand, as they will often do some products better than others.

Oh does PiHole/DNS blocking work??? I thought you would get big blank boxes instead. Being loyal to one brand just doesn't make any sense at all. LGs good at Oleds, so I got one from them. PC wise I have a lot of ASUS, my phone is OnePlus after I had a bad experience with the Samsung S3 and S5.. I couldn't be happier, since I ditched Samsung completely.

Yes definitely. Samsung makes everything, they can't be good at everything, no one is.
