I'm in the market for a new 65" TV. I have an old Samsung I love and I'm using in another room. However, LG OLED is what I will probably get, but it will cost a lot.

I agree with the comments that the credit card company could possibly extend your warranty. Good luck!

You can get an 83-inch, LG OLED television at Sam's Club for only $4,799.

paid $3000 for my 1st big screen. Same problem after 4 years of use . Could not be repaired at a reasonable cost. I was told the average life for a big screen TV is 7 years. I had a Montgomery Ward tube TV from the late 60's , it lasted 35 years !

I had the same issue with a 55” Sansui TV, which I think was a rebranded Samsung model. WalMart called a tech to fix it under warranty. He asked for a picture of the problem, which I sent to him. WalMart sent me a full refund of the purchase price. Three years later that is my spare bedroom TV. Everything else works.

If anyone is interested I am going to sell the Samsung and get a new TV. Look for my listing in classified. Photos will be attached to show the line, I am sure someone out there has the skills to fix it. Or because it's not that big of a line some viewers will not notice, especially with darker scenes.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.
