You know, I honestly look at Samsung as an impact player in any market it decides to get into. True, I'm an iPhone loyalist, BUT, I can tell you that the only other phone I would consider would be Samsung, and I fully believe that they push Apple to be better because of their presence. (iPhone 6 and 6 plus? Direct result)
After a lot of research and digging into HD TV's, it's a Samsung that sits in our living room, and it's backed by a Samsung DVD player that outperforms any of the other models we have had.
Then, before I got into the iMac realm, it was always a Samsung monitor on my desk. Simply put, they may not always be the ABSOLUTE best in every niche, but their quality and durability have shown to be consistent, and they definitely help push the market... It will be interesting to see how they push the photography world now.
Having said that, I won't be rushing out to buy one any time soon, but you get the point.
