I bought a samsung UE75JU6400KXXU from costco in 2016 , its developed a vertical banding problem which has been highlighted by the recent purchase of a 4k Xbox
Costco have decided to write it off and have offered a refund of the £1400 + vat I paid for it , this gives me £1700 to play with which I could increase to £2500 without attracting too much attention
I'm baffled by the number of TVs in this price range so any advice is appreciated, I'm used to 75" now so wouldn't really want to drop 10" but I do like a bargain so if one was about on a high end older model I might consider it
