Dark screen at the bottom of tv

[Timk6]

My samsung tv suddenly has dark section at the bottom of the screen. I found that many have the same issue. 

For troubleshooting, I have unplugged all external displays from the tv, performed software updates, run picture test.

Then I called Samsung support, and they only adviced me to bring the tv to a tech, duh.

I'm quite disappointed with the customer service.

Hi @Timk6 

We can understand your disappointment, however, as the fault is evident on the picture test, this would indicate a faulty panel and would need to be inspected by an engineer. We've noticed that the TV isn't a UK model, could we ask where you are based?

I'm based in Australia.

You may want to speak to our friends in Australia for details of your nearest Samsung approved Service Centre, @Timk6.
