On an LG CX 55, two minutes into episode 4 -- "The Tomb" -- of the series Moon Knight on Disney+ there is a scene with statuettes in niches each lit by an oil lamp. As the flames flicker, dark blotches jump around some of the niche walls.
These are certainly unintended artifacts.
Can someone confirm wether this is a CX (only) issue?

I've just got a 55NANO80 TV and tried to set it up today.
I got through the set up as far as connecting via satellite, cable or aerial. This stumped me because I don't have any of these, as far as I know! I just have NOW TV. So, I pressed exit, thinking that the TV would skip trying to search for channels. The screen then flashed with vertical black and white lines and then went completely black.
I have tried to reset the TV and turn it off and back on. Nothing shows on the screen, so I cannot press the settings button or anything.
Have I been sent a dud TV or have I missed something really obvious? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Edit: I have turned Now TV on and the sound is coming through the television, but I still have no picture.
