FWIW, today, I had the opportunity to have a lengthy conversation with a John Lewis staffer and visiting Sony rep (who previously had worked for LG).

The JL staffer confirmed online reviews on the fragility of Samsung 4K panels, in that they were prone to cracking: not only on unpacking, but even once on the shop floor. Samsung ranked as their highest turnover for returned/faulty panels.

Both guys openly admitted to the fragility of both Korean brands compared to their Japanese rivals: this is because Sony and Panasonic include metal framing in their panels rather than relying wholely on plastic. The advice from both guys was to buy either Panasonic or Sony for their manufacturing quality and longevity.

Unfortunately, the latest Panasonic DX902 wasn't on display - although the magnificent Panasonic OLED was.
