Yes, I had the TV set up for a few days. Since making this post, I’ve now exchanged the Q8FN another 2 times...and based on the horrendous panels I’ve brought home, that pink screen wasn’t nearly as bad as the uniformity (DSE), yellow blotches, and vertical banding issue I’m having now. Currently have a ticket opened and technician is waiting on parts. So we will see what happens.

The bug seems to be more visible if backlight modulation (HDR) is set to High. I use Medium now. Still see the issue occasionally however. The High mode seems to do strange stuff with the gamma curve towards the dark end. To explain the behaviour with bringing up menus "fixing" the posterisation issue, is it perhaps the case that agressive HDR is turned off when the menus are brought up on screen?

Thanks for your message. I did obtain an inexpensive DAC converter which solved my problem. Still pissed though that Samsung removed an obviously useful and used function requiring an additional expenditure to resolve.

I have the same issue with a UE55MU7000 that's about a year old. The symptom was initially that recordings were just skipped without warning. Towards the end nothing scheduled ever got recorded. Then, finally, the "Too many reservations" dialogue box came up whenever trying to schedule a recording, despite the Scheduled list being empty. I had to save the channels to a USB drive, retune (Freesat), then restore the channels to get my favourites list back. It's a very obvious bug that Samsung should be able to fix easily. If they won't I'll have to request a replacement model that works properly.
