Solution: Fix LED Backlights or Buy A New TV

It appears the leds are the issue. Do what the guy says in the video, shine a flashlight on your screen after you turn it on. Also hit the Neflix button, It will make it easier to see the screen.
Feel like fixing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwFpsafgOX8
Find your model number on the back and order lights from Amazon ie: https://www.amazon.ca/4C-LB5508-HR02J-4C-LB5508-HR03J-4C-LB5508-HR06J-4C-LB5507-HR02J-4C-LB5507-HR03J/dp/B09ZP68BNG
I'm not that handy so I ended up going from a 65" TCL to a 70" TCL at Costco for $699. I comes with a 3 years warranty from Coscto and I believe an extra year if you purchase with a Costco CC. My 65" lastest 4 years and was turned on non stop for all that time as it was also my extended laptop monitor.
I did try the unplug for 5 mins fix and that did work for 2 weeks but doesn't anymore. You may want to try that first and see if you can get some more life out of your TV.
Thank you so much, that wasn’t a bad deal for that 70 inch I’m going to look at Costco I’m not handy what so ever and I don’t even want to fool with. And this time I’ll make sure i get an extra warranty.

Yeah, you can’t go wrong with Costco. Better price. Longer warranty. Cash back.
I will likely spend the $100 and fix it at some point and give it to a family member.
