Gray vertical bar on new LG 60LN5600 LED Smart TV.

[PhenomX]

Hi there,

I just received my new LG 60LN5600 and after installing the stand, I plugged in the power and turn the TV on and I see this vertical gray bar, about 2 inches wide from top to the bottom of the screen.

I took some pictures of the gray vertical bar. Hopefully someone can tell me what is wrong with it.
I think it is just me being unlucky. TV was probably already like this even before I took it out of the box.

Also, this small black curve inside the gray vertical bar is what I think to be the source of the problem.

I decided to get a replacement for the TV. Can a mod/admin close this thread? Thank You.
