Samsung flat-panel TV sets have had some problems with bad electrolytic capacitors, at least some made a few years ago, so that could be a cause of early failure but it would be repairable by someone who wanted to do so, likely. Newer sets like yours may have avoided those bad parts.
The brightness issue is a "feature" called "auto-dimming" or similar. You can turn it off or at least minimize it by looking in the menus for "Eco Solution" or similar, if I remember right, and turning that off. Using modes such as "movie" or "standard" rather than "sports" or "vivid" may also minimize the dimming action.
