Hollow/convex panel shape in centre of TV. A80j. 55".

Hi, just got the excellent 55" a80j.

However, in the centre of the screen, the screen itself is depressed, it's about 1ft wide about 6" off top and bottom. I know the panels are not exactly totally flat, However, this feels a little excessive, I know the speakers are in built to the panel, but others have said their set is not like this, similar the ones I have seen in store don't appear as bad either. PQ, I don't think has been effected. Should this be acceptable.

If I angle mine right I can spy on the neighbours!!

Seriously, I would take it back. That would annoy the hell out of me.

Thanks pal, I sent it back. Got another slight issue (or not) with the new panel. See new post.

Cheers

Hi guys, the reflection and the bend on the reflection are normal, not a defect.

Well, I've seen plenty of these and this was the only set this bad.....I sent it back.

New one virtually perfectly flat, nothing hideous like the first so I don't see how that is normal.

hey KevRusski, good for you ^^ What I know is that this is a normal phenomenon of the manufacturing processes used in the construction of the screen. In order to provide the strength of a set structure, a process is used which can lead to a slight distortion of reflected images. These distortions are mainly visible around the central area of the screen. However, there is no degradation in the picture or sound quality performance of the OLED TV because of this manufacturing process. It's normal to have a certain amount of distortion that varies between screens.
