Paul,
Trust me. This isn't a reason to avoid Samsung Smart TVs. My parents, brother and I each have them and so far they've been great TVs.

I have a fairly old (2007?) Samsung and it's been great. It's not a Smart tv which is fine but still gives me a good picture. The user interface is pretty good in terms of adjusting the picture, adding or deleting channels, etc.
A few years ago my dad was shopping for a teevee and I was helping; he'd settled on a Samsung. I went to the Best Buy and asked for a remote so I could look at the interface. The store drone guy was baffled: "uh we don't usually keep remotes on hand." The set my dad bought ended up having an interface that was so poor, so counterintuitive, so clumsy it's beyond belief. I found it very frustrating to use. His frustration was beyond words. From what few tv reviews I've read, the focus is always on the picture, sound, etc. But not the user interface which these days seems even more important since you're pretty sure to get an excellent picture even from a low-end set.
