Which brand makes you think quality over the others?

2. Of the four Samsung TVs our extended family has purchased over the past decade

all of them are still functional except one. My wife's dad got a lemon. The screen started going dark during year two, after the one-year warranty expired.

Now, we haven't owned any Samsung appliances, but I've read and heard that many of those are junk. But they're likely the TV manufacturer we'll go with again (although quality standards may have slipped since we bought our Samsung TV a decade ago).

The problem with so many brands is that they may create an irresistible looking product on the outside, but they use the same low-quality components on the inside.
