I have an extremely bright spot along the right edge of the TV... It's probably 1/3 from the top, and is about 4" long and 2" wide at it's widest spot.

I'm thinking this has something to do with being an edge lit LED - but can it be fixed, or does it fade with time? I can forget about it while watching TV, but it doesn't take long for it to come back into my line of sight.

I assume that I do not notice the halo on my Vizio since it is a smaller screen so it has a higher concentration of pixels for the same resolution. Is that correct or is there something wrong or something that I have to do on my Samsung to get rid of the halo?

Has anyone had an experience working with Samsung directly on "flashlighting" issues???

I've seen some reference massaging it away, but I've seen others call that risky. Has anyone successfully done this?

I also tried the massaging technique and that didn't work either. So went to bestbuy and told them that I was waiting as directed by Samsung. Now I'm waiting for my exchange which is to be delivered next friday.

If I were you, I'd take it back and try for second one. Some panels are better than others in terms of flashlights...try your luck and see if you get a better one. I'm just hoping my replacement isn't worse than the one in my living room now.

I hope this is NOT a trend starting to show up but as time goes by we will see. In my case I will probably just enjoy the set until the F series come out. Then I'll call Best Buy Warrenty Dept and arrange for a service call. Last year , my panel went bad on my 40" D-6000 long story short, I got a free upgrade to a 46"7100 to match the Ultra Clear panel type since no panel part replacement was avalible. Who knows, this could happen again and I just may end up with another free upgrade to the F7000 series. Does any body know the policy from Best Buy for one dead pixel to get a new panel replacement approval? I don't remember if they have a "Zero" defect warranty or not. Well if not, this issue can't be seen unless you get 1 foot or closer to the screen.

I have a 43" Samsung DLP that i bought new about 9 years ago for the low, low price of $3000, that is now sitting on the floor in my dining room. Still a good TV, but now i feel as though i have to give it away. Replaced the bulb and the color wheel in the last 2 years, and never had any other issues with it. Do you think it can be sold, or should i try and give it to someone? Just curious what some of you do with yours...

What about 7100, 7500, and 8000? Is US02 panel considered glossy? I actually prefer the glossy panel on the LED series. It looks like TS01 panel may be glossy, not sure about TS02. But does appear that the 55ES7100 model with US02 panel is indeed a glossy screen. But no longer marketed as Ultraclear.

Second one already has a dead pixel after 2 days and the flashlighting is noticeable in the corners and directly above the Samsung logo. But the first unit had flashlighting all throughout the panel, not just the corners. 3D is great. Sports are vivid and blur free. The dead pixel isn't a deal breaker. Still have a few days to see if I wanna roll the dice on a third unit. Disappointed in Samsungs QC team as the second panel was manufactured last month. Box was punctured but I was happy upon inspection and finding no bent frame or dented panel like my first unit. The dead pixel isn't noticeable from normal viewing distance, only when you're inches away from the screen. Flashlighting is cringe worthy though, hoping a few weeks of use will lessen that problem.

I just got the tv and loving it. I am using priates cove for the visual settings (thank you so much). I was wondering what are people preferences/equalization for the tv speakers. Whichever settings I try they seem off. I know sound bars sound better but, for time being, is there a preference people use out there?
