I had a 65" curved Samsung TV and it lasted 5 years before some bottom pixels went out. I paid like 1300 for that TV back then. I have a 55" flat Samsung that is about 10 years old no problems, not a smart TV though. I replaced curved Samsung with the a Flat 65 Samsung and so far has been good. The flat 65 I bought on one of those black Friday deals for like 400. The only down side on the new 65 Samsung is smart TV feature is slow in bringing up certain apps like VUDU, sound from TV is not the greatest(most TV's speakers are not great) and it only has two HDMI ports. I bought a Roku speaker and that produces great sound and apps load up so much faster. I am planning on buying the Roku bass speaker but I am surprised how good the bass is from this sound bar. It also has a better voice speaker for those of us who are getting harder of hearing
