About "GoldStar" or "Samsung" or both there was a talk in the past and I wondered how in U.S.A. the tv sets made by the companies where bad.
In Romania there where imported tv sets from both of them. "GoldStar" had the advertising with ˝"GoldStar", nobleţea aurului˝ - nobleţea aurului = the noblese of the gold.

I don't know much about "GoldStar", but "Samsung" tv sets where quite good sets. Lasting 15-17 years. Not as much as more expensive sets ("Samsung" was expensive in Romania), but still quite fine. I think some lasted 20 years.
They where also assamble in Romania, specially a series models called 'BioVision'. One of the models of the series runned to a dental clinic at least 8 hours a day, 252 days a year from at least 1998 to 2010 or 2012. The last time, it still offered a good image. Got replaced by and L.C.D. one... The old "Samsung" was young and restless.
At a hotel, it was also a '90's "Samsung". Stil in use in a lobby in 2009 or 2010.
"Samsung" made quite long lasting picture tubes too. In early '90's, at 'Elecrom' tv sets ('Elecrom' was a Soviet tv "Elektron" tv set with a P.A.L. decoder aded) "Samsung" pictures tubes where put, because the Soviet ones didn't las long.
