Did all the trouble shooting, disconnect power, disconnected everything, hard reset, etc. No dice. Can see a faint screen on display when angling a flashlight on display. I guess this is an LED backlight malfunction. Time for a new TV ? I guess I will make a run to our local Walmart. Looking for a 50 or 55”. Any suggestions?

Researched and found that LG appeared to be in the current lead over Samsung and Sony. So I bought one of the highest rated LG's. It is badass, amazing picture. Model is LG OLED65C1PUB And I now see that the price on the damn thing is $300 cheaper than when I ordered two weeks ago, WTF?! https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-65-...d-smart-webos-tv/6453312.p?skuId=6453312 Last edited by SamOlson; 09/27/21.

Took it to a repair shop and he said he got no help from the factory on how to repair it. I asked him what was the best brand and he said they were all good until they break. I bought a LG and it has been trouble free so far.

I haven't had TV in 27 years, doubt I will ever again, and miss it not much. The golden rule has always been, who has the gold makes the rules. The stations don't see it that way it seems, they only offer hundreds of crap stations. Let me pick 10-15 stations that I want or GFYS media.

You should get it back.

All retailers have dropped the price buy $330. Mostly glad the woman and I didn't break the fuucker when we screwed it on the wall mount. Awkward and slightly heavy piece...
