Anybody know what could be wrong with my 55” TCL?

This has been driving me nuts ever since I noticed it few weeks ago. Does anybody have any guesses to what could be wrong with it? There is a weird outline around whole outside edges, it appears on all inputs and even just on tv menu itself. First pic you can see how its almost like a window around the actual pic all the way around,2nd pic shows edge right side.

If part of what you are talking about is the darker areas in the blue seen on the Paramount logo photo you attached. This is a sort of "clouding" effect were you see random patches of darker and paler areas of the screen (do not confuse this with patterned patches of lighter/darker areas - that is most likely LED zones from the backlight).
Anyhow the effect I am talking about typically happens when the layers of the screen are sort of "warped" and do not lay perfectly flat on one another. The only way to fix this is to take the layers apart and relay them. Even then one layer might not have been made as perfectly thick/flat as the other layer so you might just end up pushing those dark/light patches around.
To explain this in more detail - the darker areas are typically when one sheet/layer of the screen (like the anti-glare sheet) is pressed/laying closer to the underlaying layer and typically touching it directly. And, the lighter areas are typically when this layer (like the anti-glare) is loose and does not fully touch the adjacent layer (by loose I mean - leaving a small gap between the layers). Depending on the TV manufacturer and age of the TV doing this relaying of the sheets may be next to impossible as some TV's seal or tact down the layers. (On older LCD TV's accessing these layers is much easier). Anyways in most cases it's not worth the risk if you've never done it before - besides the fact that some layers/sheets are often just not equal in thickness/flatness from the factory to begin with as well some layers can "shrink" from heart or sunlight exposure.
(NOTE: If you attempt this be sure to be in a dust free area and keep moist fingers off the inside layers - use some clean latex gloves that do NOT have talc on them)
