Everything dies sometime, you get 3 years, great, your electricity is clean, especially when it comes back after load shedding. Things tend to last longer. You must just keep in mind, that load shedding kills or appliances a lot faster, than they normally would be expected to last.

When I know load shedding is due, I unplug from mains and switch off plugs at DB board.

You are lucky to be home, then. Some of us are not.

I’m usually always on your side when it comes to your all or nothing opinions, but this is a piss poor take.

And it is the challenge of getting great colours and brightness without harming your eyes or cutting down on your viewing experience that has led to the evolution of SLED. Co-developed by realme and John Rooymans, Chief Scientist of SPD Technology (Spectral Power Distribution), SLED televisions will not only deliver ultra-wide colour gamut with rich colours and deep contrasts but will also do so without compromising on your eyesight.
And that is because SLED is based on the highly reputed RGB backlight technology. White light is formed by three primary colours - the RGB, or red, green and blue. Now, while most LED televisions including QLED, use only a blue backlight which is then turned to white, SLED uses Red, Green and Blue LED lights in the initial stage which reduces the harmful effects of blue light while delivering vivid colour. In technical terms, SLED display allows television to have an ultra-wide colour gamut of up to 108 percent NTSC, which is as high as most QLED displays and well ahead of a regular LED television, which has a colour gamut of only 70 percent! You are going to get magnificent colours with an SLED television.
And the best part is that they will not harm your eyes.

Yup if you get a cheap Samsung it won't compare to the better one, doesn't matter the brand

I must say when you strike it lucky then it does seem like they stick around.
Also have one last Samsung which is going on quite a few years. Ironically of course it was a replacement for one that died under extended warranty.

I have the opposite problem where content simply isn’t graded properly for true black and then you have a fake grey as if it’s a backlit piece of crap.
A little calibration goes a long way.
This is a pretty solid all-in-one resource.
