Q7FN defect?

[AdamsQLED]

I've looked at many DSE shots and I haven't seen any that match mine. Is that what this is? I'm guessing I'll need to swap it out with another. What do you guys think?

NOTE: The images enhce the defect so it's not as prevelant to the naked eye, but it is definilty still there.

@AdamsQLED: Do you have any external devices connected to the TV? Are you in a particular screen or display mode when you experience this issue? Does it occur across all channels and sources?

[AdamsQLED]

It's all sources. I thought the same thing so I checked that, too.

But I do have a PS4 and soundbar connected.

If you go to Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test, does the issue persist or do you get any 'Fail' messages?

[AdamsQLED]

I'll report back later, after I'm home. Thanks for the replies so far, though.

[AndrewL]

No problem, @AdamsQLED. Let me know how you get on.

[AdamsQLED]

I ran the test and the problem still persists. During the tests, the blemish was barely noticeable during the vertical line images, but still there.

Swap it if still under warranty!  This looks similar to mine when I first purchased it - more noticeable when watching football and the camera panned horizontally. I found once noticed your eye is drawn to it.
