un65mu9000 Spot on the lcd screen

[Storyteller12]

I found this tv and just wondering if anyone else has seen this before. It looks like a screen/ panel issue but not 100% sure.

It also kinda looks like the light diffuser under the screen may be cracked. Similar to the Samsung “NU” series TVs that have this defect from the backlights being to hot.

I don’t have the tv in my possession to take it apart and find out for sure. Didn’t want to pick it up if it’s a panel issue.

Thanks for the help.

It looks like a crack in the plexiglass behind a panel.

Possibly a lens coming off of led.

Thanks Lotas, that’s kinda what I was thinking but wasn’t sure. Was hoping someone ran into it before and knew exactly.

Dskall, I believe this is an edge lit tv so there would be lens covers. But I didn’t mention the model so you wouldn’t have known. Thanks for the input though. Always appreciate the help.

If I get the tv I will update so everyone else knows for future reference

Re: Spot on the lcd screen

Just to update, I did get the TV. It’s model # un65mu9000.

After getting my hands on it and opening it up, The plexiglass is what’s cracked. Luckily the screen is good.
It just so happens I have a ks9000 with a bad cof tab laying around. I’m going to use that to replace the plexiglass on this one.

I may transfer the backlights and diffuser also since the ks9000 is quantum dot and the mu9000 was not. Seems like that was a short coming of the mu9000 in reviews.
