Exclamation Blue Streaks on New Samsung UN46B6000

I just bought a new Samsung LED Edge-lit UN46B6000 LCD TV. I am excited about the picture quality of the new TV, and I haven't even calibrated it yet!

I have only had the TV for a few days and I am seeing blue streaks appear in black areas of the screen, and they disappear as the picture updates in those areas. I collected some samples of the issue which I posted below.

I have a video of the issue posted here:
(but ... I can't post a link because I am new to the forum.)

This happens with every combination I have tried. I currently have an Apple TV and a PS3 hooked up through HDMI set at 1080P, and it is doing it pretty regularly.

I need some guidance. Obviously the TV is under warranty, but what causes this? Has anyone seen this before?

Get a NON LED while you're at it. Too many problems with this new technology.

I agree stay away from LED's and new technologies, don't let the slim sexy looks fool you. I love Samsung's LCD's but their quality control needs to improve!

Get the 46B750 if you need an LCD. The LED backlit LCDs really aren't anything to write home about.
