“What is the story with vertical banding that I see people complaining about in their reviews of the 55” tv. Some people experience it and some do not. Is it a flaw design or a quality control issue ?”

It's sort of both. The uniformity issues are a risk in lower-end panels, but there's a serious quality control issue that's affecting these in particular. We LOVE the TV (90% because of the Roku interface to be honest) so were willing to go through several exchanges to get a panel that didn't have terrible banding, but there's definitely some "dirty screen" effect on this that isn't present on other TVs in this price range. For us, it was worth it, but for people who watch a lot of content with pans over single-color surfaces (e.g. hockey), it could be problematic. For us it's not super noticeable and was worth it for the fantastic interface, price, and overall video quality.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have had this TV for six months no vertical banding issues as yet. Nice picture for the money. But I have had issues with periodic sound dropping out for split second and continues for a short while. The issue is well known on Roku TV forums. The email address offered by Roku for communicating issues appears to be bogus because I have not had a response after several attempts. And yes, have checked junk folder.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just bought one and don’t have it on mine. I’m guessing the had a QC issue that some other manufacturers were catching before theirs left the factory. I’m no expert, just a guess. But happy with mine. Best bang for buck I could find. I read all about it, took a risk and I’m happy with my decision and purchase. Good luck.
