My screen is not uniform at all. Under any circumstance i.e. pc gaming or netflix with the inbuilt app, every time a white-ish background comes up you can see the two black/grey spots or zones in the TV. Once you see you cannot un-see it. I have done all the troubleshooting and right now waiting to hear back from the repair service. My first 4k TV from Samsung and very disappointing!!!

@mn2710: Sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue. If you unplug the TV at the wall for around 30 seconds, then plug it back in, does the shadowing remain? If so, head to Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test, and run through the series of tests. Is the issue present in the test images, or does the picture test return any errors in the summary? If so then an engineers inspection will be required, therefore if you have already reached out to one of our Support Centres, then please make them aware of this so they can provide the necessary support. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.

I’ve owned Samsung tv’s for 30 years. These ‘ghosts’ are permanent and are the result of faulty hardware within the set; bad mother board. They use cheap metals to make diodes, etc. this happened to my 7 year old flagship 60”.  Return it immediately. Samsung customer service is horrible. I am here (looking online) because I have a 900R 8K that’s starting to black level bloom while watching Netflix. 

This is the new reality: Forced Obsolescence

 

I am pretty sure the human race has peaked.

 

So sick of paying for shiite.
