Huge disappointment

I was very excited to get this 8K TV in preparation for the next generation consoles. Unfortunately I returned it due to a couple of deal breakers that shouldn't happen on a TV of this price. In bright scenes, panning (left to right or vice versa) revealed a vertical and horizontal grid of LEDs. I believe it's called vertical bar (not the most techy one, sorry). For example, watching hockey or playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 was very distracting and prevented me and others from enjoying the content. Too bad when the scene was static the picture quality was really good. But this TV wasn't just for viewing still images.2. Another problem with the TV was the dirty screen. In some scenes this was also very noticeable.3. Blurry/Glare when there is a dark scene with an object in a specific part of the screen. With full array local dimming, I didn't expect it to be this bad on a TV in this price range. I have other side-lit Samsung TVs that have less bloom.4. Finally, its handling of dark scenes isn't the best. Sometimes the TV overcompensated and made certain scenes too dark. And the family members, who normally don't pay attention to such image problems, noticed it immediately, no matter what I said. It's a shame that this TV didn't live up to my expectations as I was really looking forward to it. All of the TVs in our house are Samsung, but after getting this TV with so many pricing issues ($5,000 purchase price), I'm going to dive into the LG OLED world as these TVs get great reviews (despite the risk of burning). . ) Maybe I got a bad model, but I wouldn't recommend this TV. I hope this review helps!
