Are Samsung TVs bad quality?

    I went into Harvey Normans today with a plan to buy a new TV. I was looking for a UE40F6400 3D smart TV.
    They didn't have it in stock, but the sales guy immediately went on a rant about not buying a Samsung as they have poor picture quality and keep breaking.
    He told me that I should go for a Sony instead - KDL-42W650A or an LG - 42LA620V or 42LA690V.

    Anyway, I went in to buy a TV and left without one as I was not going to be bullied into getting something I hadn't researched.

    Was I given some sound advice or was I just bul****ted by someone who was pushing me to buy something he was trying to sell?

    There are no correct answers, only reviews and opinions.

    The real problem with Samsung is the shocking variability of their TVs.

    Even within a given model, I've seen TVs that look great value for money & others that should never have cleared QC in the factory.

    The bottom line is that you need to checkout the display in the shop you're buying from, fed from a proper source, & decide for yourself if the picture is acceptable.

    And once you're satisfied that the picture is acceptable, make sure your tail is well covered by a good warranty for the life time of the TV.
