you lost me at Phillips
Was only £450, guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.
Personally, I would. I also send back monitors with 1 dead pixel. Figure I paid for it it should work as it's supposed to.
3 years ago I bought a Philips TV. Huge light bleeding at the center bottom, aaand return. Got a new one and sent the old one back afterwards. Light bleeding at the exact same position, aaand return. Took the money and bought a Sony TV with an much better picture quality and none of these problems. (just a XE8077, nothing special)
In my opinion, Philips TVs are fools, showmanship. Yes, I still miss Ambilight to this day, but that couldn't hide the TV problems. Especially when i played a lot of dark games or left the browser or brighter images open for some time, there appeared problems with both Phillips TVs and sadly exactly the same.
Can be very bad luck, but yeah, I made my experience and opinion. Even if it's about 3 years ago.
Joking: Nice to see that the light bleeding moved from the center of the TV to the sides of the TV. Looks like it'll be 1-2 years before they're finally gone. (if they don't start to hike up)
No, they're all going to look like that. You bought a $400 tv, not a $4000 tv.
Personal opinion. If that's the only issue and you are relatively happy with it - just keep it. My biggest gripe is dead or stuck pixels. Even one on a 4kTV or monitor, and it goes back. I can't stand them.
Try Sony.
My android tv does this when turning on but becomes epic when I’m watching something. How does it look with blacks while playing something?
I have the same unit and no bleed on mine, only a month old. Send back.
You won’t do much better at that price point.
Hmmm its strange that You see this while Android TV is starting. I can swear on my Philips 7303 this is barely noticeable only when color is grey. But the start is completely black - I have it in my memory because how amazed I was at the black levels :D . And I definitely dont have any light bleed... So either Philips is getting worst or you got a defective unit.
Shit like this really bothers me. If you can, get to a store and test out some TV units for darker scenes and text scrolling. There are some YouTube videos specifically for this.
£450 is a lot of money to be stuck with a TV that you're unhappy with. I got a discounted LG tv from Amazon -- edge lit LED, which was bleeding all over. Had it returned, and got a Samsung, and couldn't be happier.
It's not gonna get any better on it's own...
Only if you get your full money back. A trade-in is probably going to be the same.
As someone else mentioned you'd get better value form some less-known value-brands like Hisense and TCL. I'd go with that in that budget.
I spent about £800 on a Bravia Android TV about 4 years ago that's like this, its super annoying tbh and makes watching anything approaching dark nearly unwatchable. New TV in a few months, won't make the same mistake again.
Return while you can.
That's not normal... It's called clouding. I got my brand new TV panel replace because of it.
I bought a sony tv and it had the white bleeding thing.. i sent it back and brought the same exact model and it had no problems soo... 🤷♂️
Hi, did you return your tv? I got new pus8536 and have the same issue
Oled FTW, that screen should be absolutely black
My experience with things like that , if it bothers you now it will bother you later. Swap it out while you can.
