Frankly given all the comments I've seen on here regarding Currys' after-care service you'd be better buying off my mate Dave down the pub than from Currys so I would say direct from Samsung probably has the edge, but only slightly.

Samsung are dreadful as well imo I’ve had better treatment in curry’s than Samsung but both are bad

Both? There's three or four merchants matching that criteria:
Currys (online + physical stores)
Samdung Experience Stores = Partner Retail Services Limited
Samdung online store = Samdung Electronics (UK) Limited
Note Samdung online store also hilariously quotes another merchant name responsible for privacy: "Samdung Samdung Electronics (UK) Ltd" archive.ph/HFSjr

Based on proliferation of stores and related "best" opportunity to embarrass legislation-ignorant store sales / CS staff to obtain a result:
bizarrely combination of Currys + UK regulated credit, so excludes PayPal Credit.

Updated post to reflect.

Iirc Samsung Experience dont deal with Monitors, only their online store do

But this post pertains to Currys Online + Samsung Online

Never had a single issue with Currys online, others have though. One thing i do know Samsung and Service are two words that simply do not go together. I had 2 brand new QLED flagship TV's that had to back with QC issues and i ordered a £300 microwave that turned up with a bent chassis. Best just sticking to mobile products with Samsung.
