I am having a few issues with my current A1 OLED. These being that especially when anything in the red spectrum of colours is on screen I see the 2 horizontal bars near bottom middle and left that can be seen in the attached photos. The sky playback icon is most noticeable when green is the main colour on screen. I have also noticed as general loss in the vibrancy of colours since the recent update to the later version of Android. Both in normal tv viewing and when using my playstation.

So I cast some youtube videos to my tv that had colour test patterns and it seems there is a lot more what I assume is image retention. I did think that the 2 horizontal bars where something to do with the main game I play but I now think this is not the case as left most of them is higher at one end than the other so does not tie up with the onscreen elements of the game. I am also wondering if the large rectangles of colour that can be seen especially in the top right of the screen are normal for OLED's or not.
I am hoping someone might be able to tell me if any of this is normal or not. Especially the large rectangles of colour. I have had it all calibrated and I have compared the values to the document from the calibrator to make sure it is not just due to the update overwriting some of the settings.

I have also got a short video

I can't tell properly from your photos but the rectangle could be a factory fault which affects some of the 2017 OLED panels including the Sony A1.

Have a read through this thread.
 
The issue mentioned in that thread does seem to be what is going on in terms of the rectangles of colour that I can see. I guess I now have to decide if it is something to speak to Currys about.
