Problem that developed with Samsung LED TV
The TV was purchased in July of 2011 its the new 55" LED 8000 series. A few weeks back my wife reported that there seemed to be a darker part of screen on very top.
We hadnt seen it again till yesterday when the top 1/2 of the screen looked darker and distorted in top right corner. It happened at end of day so I just turned it off.
This morning after about 1 hour of being on we noticed it again. In attempt to test if it was issue with STB or TV I tried TV input same issue and tried the blue ray player. The TV could not find the Blu Ray player. I decided to try moving the blu ray to a different HDMI and finally got the blu ray to be recognized and the TV seemed to be working just fine. I have called for service but they werent helpful and they said unless the see the issue there isnt much they can do. Now I am noticing that the bottom 1/8 is getting darker and than moves up to about 1/4 the display. Also noticing flickering of the Video.
Any ideas I have upgraded firmware etc. Should I just take it back??

That's a sure enough crappy return policy. Buyer beware for sure.
