Hey all, I was hoping you could assist me again. I don't know if I have a potential problem or not or if I'm being stupidly paranoid, but I noticed something about my C8 and was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not it's an issue.
When the TV is on and the picture is black (like say, when a console is turning on or if you just have the TV on but not displaying anything), I noticed there are some visibly vertical lines, namely on the right side of the screen. I tried taking photos as best I could...I don't know what the best method is for taking a picture without having the flash glare up the screen, but here are three where I think you can see what I'm talking about:

Coincidentally, I was planning to go to Best Buy tomorrow for a couple of errands, and was wondering whether this warrants an exchange or not.
But to add to that, I'm also thinking of returning the C8 and getting the Q9FN. It may be a pricier and bigger model, but I'm also getting a little fed up with the high maintenance of OLED. The fear of possible burn-in vs zero burn-in, plus deep in my heart I know I'm the type who prefers a brighter and more vivid image vs a dim but "accurate" one. This isn't to say I'm not satisfied with the C8's picture, I certainly am, but considering what I mostly do with the set (gaming and anime), I think maybe I should return to the LCD bandwagon.
But I need three specific questions sorted before I make a decision:
1. Based on the above photos, does my OLED have an issue?
2. Is the Q9FN still overall the better choice for me?
3. What are the other (cheaper) LCDs that are comparable to the Q9FN?
That's odd timing. What issues were you having with the set?
