if you like the tv, live with it. They all look like that due to the led array. It's not a dud.thelasthunter wrote: ↑ That looks pretty severe. It's a dud. I'd return it.
turn the brightness down, calibrate tv and then decide if you want it or not, but replacing it won't fix it.
personally, i very rarely watch blank uniform screens, and after calibration can only rarely notice the outside banding, but if you like to watch blank screens, it may be a problem I am kidding.
