The 79UB9800 that I just freaking bought last month already has a bad screen. A vertical line is going right down the center of the screen. Anyone else have this issue?

Not good; reminds me of that LG 77" curved UHD OLED TV recently introduced ($25,000 MSRP) with a vertical grey bar in the middle (about 1" wide).

I wouldn't accept it, and I would simply return it.

Ouch.
It has to be returned.

I have an LG warranty. Im outside of the return time frame by 24 days so that is a no go. I bought this for the superbowl on FEB 1. LG has someone coming out to fix the panel. Ill update when I find out anything
