Checking your purchase while you're in the return window is a protection for yourself as it is often much easier to deal with the retailer than the manufacturer. Everyone has different tolerances and will receive panels of differing quality. Your analogy isn't accurate because such blotches could appear
for some without the infra red light, without the rain, with the sun, and so on. Game of Thrones this season was a particularly infra-reddy test, so if a panel passed that torture test then I would be inclined to say it's a keeper, but I'd still check for myself. Who is looking out for you if not yourself?
If gamma hasn't been measured by later tonight then I'll bite the bullet. Hopefully fixes the weird white input labels too. cc

We're talking about the IN-START menu that you can access. It allows you to disable the dimming on static content, enable engineering mode for beta firmwares, and turn your TV into a nice black mirror when it won't switch on anymore. Tread carefully.
Yes, long story short, .55 is not that great. If you have no problems then stick with .20 until a newer version is out.
