Samsung 49K5300 LED TV defective??

[viking007]

Hello.

Just got a new Samsung LED smart TV. There is this dark, inverted U shaped portion on the screen, right at the top margin.

I would like to know if the TV screen is defective and needs to be replaced?

Attaching the photos. Hope these are clear enough for you to make a call.

Thanks.

Looks like a manufacturing defect in the back light
