My Samsung tv puts itself in “demo mode” if you aren’t on the Wi-Fi and it’ll shut itself down and reset all its settings every hour.

Unfortunately, that was your mistake.

Never buy anything Samsung branded. No phones, no consumer SSDs, no TVs, no monitors, no laptops, no phones and tablets, no fridges and wash machines and driers. Nothing. The entire brand is toxic.

Hell, don't even do business with their fab, ask Nvidia about how that turned out for them.

I see your problem.

But why would you but anything but an LG OLED?

My contractor dropped my previous tv which was like 10 years old and that’s what he got as a replacement. Went from 1080p to 4k.

Mine bleeds pretty bad around the edge. Not bad enough I'd go through a replacement process but I won't buy one again.

That is just the nature of TVs, you aren’t going to get vastly better QC by going with a different brand.

I just buy from somewhere with easy returns.

I did the same with my Sony Bravia, although I still have access to apps I want to use. I don't even know what the features are that I rejected cause I don't care about them.

Does it not periodically bug you if you do that? That's what happened with mine until I eventually relented and started getting bugged by their "notification" advertising instead
