My Samsung is curved, I like it.
As far as on the way out, doubt it, Samsung absolutely swears by them so it would be a complete 180 for them.

They have gained a lot of credibility lately so I would listen to them.

I would think so since they don't sell very well however Samsung only offers their flagship model in curved this year. You can tell when you bring it up with any of the reps they are tired of getting beat up about it. I personally don't like the curve.

Agree, pretty big gap between them and the #2 TV manufacturer.

Yes, I have one and like it.
While shopping for TV's I had no intention of even considering curved ones. However while standing at the end of a long isle of TV's one stood out drastically from the others in side viewing angle, the 65" curve.
This satisfied my requirements for the space it is in, may not make a difference to most.

The reason there were curved TVs to begin with was because of technical limitations on 4k screens. They quickly overcame the limitations and were able to make them flat again. Marketing turned it into a gimmick.

LG is moving away from them.

I had purchased a new Samsung refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave as part of an update to the kitchen. I installed the refrigerator, but left the microwave and dishwasher in the garage, planning an install when I had time.
I was told to run a gallon of water through it every day and then replace the water filter after two weeks with a new filter. two weeks later, when I tried to remove the filter, I couldn't. The water pressure behind it was too high. I had to pull the refrig out of the wall space and the cabinets, unplug it, and turn off the water at the spigot before the filter would come loose.
I put in the new filter. Then, I turned everything back on and tried removing the filter. No way.
I called Samsung to find out if there was something wrong. Their answer? (read in broken Korean/English)
"Oh, that is design benefit for you. Keep water from leak into refligelator. You will like."
When I got off the phone I called Best Buy where I purchased everything and told them to come out and pick up this crap. I returned the whole mess. I stay away from Samsung, now.

They are always a little cheaper than similar sized options at Costco and have started getting cheaper.

I don't understand the appeal. Engineers worked for years to make TV's flat as possible - the one in my living room is 1.5" thick - to blend in anywhere and make it to where everyone has a big screen TV... and now you want to make it jut-out from the wall? It just looks funky.

I think they are pretty stupid.

I bought the 8500 series of your recommendation, basically the curved version, and I couldn't be happier.

Samsung makes great TVs. IMO the best on the market.
Avoid almost everything else they make.

Had my Samsung Counter-mount depth stainless side-by-side fridge installed in May of 2013. Over three years of worry free, rock-solid operation.
As with anything else...your mileage may vary, but I'd be quick to recommend the brand based on my experience.

I thought Samsung was one of the highest consumer rated refrigerators ???
