KD49XD7005 - dark stripe after start

[robposch]

hello,

when turning on the TV, an about 2 cm wide stripe alongside the right bezel (from the top to almost the bottom) is much darker than the rest of the panel. After about a minute or so it disappears as the TV "warms up" and there are no further issues.

Is there any reason for concern (the TV is 2 weeks old) or is this considered normal?

Hi there

I wouldnt consider this normal to be honest.  As the TV is new, I would contact the retailer and get them to exchange it.

Cheers

Thanks. Next week I´ll have it replaced.
