White vertical banding on new LG 86NAN075

[gamehendge]

We have only had this TV a few weeks, but I have noticed white vertical banding in bright and dark shows. Not sure if this is the TV or our Apple TV device causing the issues. I will have to do some more testing with different sources and maybe another HDMI cable. Just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this before and if there is an easy setting change that might fix the issues. I put the read lines above each band, easy to see on my Iphone but doesn't look as bad once I downloaded the pic.

Thanks - John

It's an edge-lit TV? If so, that's what it will be.

Hey. thanks for the response. This TV backlight type is direct.

Still, given what appears equal spacing between the lines I would think it's the backlight coming through. You can try to return it under manufacturing fault.

Did you manage to resolve this issue, I have a similar issue and am unsure whether to contact LG or not? Thanks

No. LG support was unable to resolve the issues. Ended up returning the TV and picked up a Sony 85” X91J and haven’t had any issues with it so far.
