Personally not, I primarily use Samsung but hear from colleagues that they had issues with other brands. The other thing is that there are only 2 brands that make screens, Samsung and LG. Those screens are used by all the other brands as well.

First: You shouldn’t care about what others think.

I can understand why your husband thinks it’s too late for him. I am also in my 50’s and my daughter has a 6 months old son and I could never do that again. It’s not just now but if that newborn is 20 your husband is 71.

The screens Sony uses are Samsung or LG but just against a premium price.

Today I would say that Samsung is the most reliable brand for TV’s. If your tv would last longer than 5-10 years you would never buy a new one.

The Redlight district. Every city has/had them and for us it’s just normal. As a kid I had to pass some of those windows to get to school.
