Appreciate the link.
I bought at Best Buy and have no reservations about returning items that don’t meet expectations but in this case, some time had passed before I really registered what I was seeing, did some research, found some discussions about panel lottery with some people reporting they ended up with worse screens. Combined with being in the midst of COVID life, just decided to live with it since it’s fine under most conditions. This TV will likely end up in the bedroom sooner than later and I’ll find something else for the living room. Think I’m leaning LG next go round but there’s time for me to be better informed and not make an impulse purchase replacing a dead TV.
