Samsung Support Reps Please Help. My  UN65AU8000FXZA  Smart TV is glowing and feels really hot on the lower left bottom corner of the screen. It gets extremely hot after only a couple of hours of watching tv. So hot, it burns your hand if you touch it.  I am honestly afraid that it is going to start a fire and burn my house down.  This is a fire waiting to happen.  I am afraid to use this TV as the heat makes it feel very unsafe. Additionally the right half of the TV screen seems dimmer. 

I have noticed many other people in the US and EU reporting exactly the same issue with several different models. 

I purchased this TV on January 4, 2022 and have used it moderately, not overused or ever used to an extreme number of hours at a time.

The model is the Samsung - 65" Class 8000 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV - UN65AU8000FXZA

I have 3 other Samsung TVs in my home, some much older, and have not had this problem with them. 

Please help, I don't want my house to burn down from watching TV.
