alt Hacker NewsI haven’t looked recently but last I checked Samsung made the best panels. Has that changed recently?

Samsung is good, except:
- No Dolby Vision support, only HDR10+ - Issues with judder/micro stutter - History of nerfing TVs via OTA updates - HDMI ports randomly failing - Bad HDMI-CEC implementation - Selling completely different panel generations under the exact same model names.
Their panels are often over-saturated with that fake HDR like look, similar to their phones.
No, qd-oled is still best, LG is closing the gap with tandem oled but is still the second best panel tech.
Samsung is worse, their OS is horrendous. LG allows local control fairly well and has Home Assistant support.
Samsung is a complete mess, now charging $5/month to use smarthings with no local control. I'll never buy Samsung.
Samsung scored highest on https://www.rtings.com/ for my criteria, and I'm happy with the purchase. I didn't connect it to the network, of course. (I had to stop my handyman from connecting it and he seemed to think I was crazy for insisting.)
