55AG8 tv - upper left and right screen dents

SF0000 — Mon, 27 Jan 2020 14:50:53 GMT

Has anyone else noticed small dents top left and right of the front face of the tv screen? Wonder if these are inherent in manufacturing process (over-tightening of retainer or pressure points from assembly? Clearly visible in reflected light. Returned 3 TVs all with the same ‘defect’ before giving up finding a pristine one.... Could this just be a batch problem or are there others out there like this??

Can you take a photograph to highlight the issue? I don't recall seeing this problem reported before with the AG8.

Recently taken delivery of my new 55AG8 and after a few days have noticed 2 circular indentations approx 2-3 inches in diameter in the top left and right corners of the screen. Doesn't seem to affect the picture when TV is operating normally, but can clearly see a warping effect when TV is off or picture is dark. Considering whether to report as a fault/defect or not, as not sure if it is a packaging/transportation issue or a widely-accepted feature of the manufacturing process.

@RussT66

It’s supposed to be a flat-screen TV. The clue is in the name 😛
