They must have put a timer in it.

Maybe the solution is to stop buying tech on Amazon. I have a Samsung TV that I got at Costco for like $120 in 2020 and it's still going strong.

    By and large its all the same shite. You dig into these and find out the same stuff is going around wrapped in different plastic casings marketed as whatever. My samsung bought at costco is also a TLC, and also a hisense.

    It doesn’t matter where I bought it, it’s the company that made it. If I got the same TV at Best Buy or wherever else, it would still have the same problems.

    And not everyone has a Costco membership.

    I would gladly buy a better TV if I could afford it. But I can’t.

    I'm totally with you - it's really hard to know what's inside.

    I have read that sometimes you can differentiate which seller a product was built for by the SKU, but I don't think that's always true. And again, even if you can find the info it doesn't always tell us all that much.
