ROKU TV PRO Model 55R8B5 video and sound issues

I was disappointed with the picture quality of my new ROKU PRO TV.  

We must sit directly in front of the screen.  The image fades if viewing from the sides.

Despite setting the picture the same for all inputs, the TV modifies the brightness and contrast unfavorably.

After 2 days of use, the sound failed.  A continuous squalling alarmed us. 

I had to pull the plug to make it stop.

Will the same problems exist if I order a replacement?

I have not heard from you, Elmer. 

Do you still intend to replace my television? 

WHEN will this occur? 

WHAT is the procedure? 

HOW do I return the defective unit to you?

now that’s customer service good to know if that happens to me Roku’s got my back. Also, I’ve been reading a lot about OLED and QLED And by a lot is that I read a few articles And I think the whole standing in front or sitting in front and not at the sides, makes A difference, depending on whether you have an OLED or a QLED But I’m not an expert. I did watch a YouTube video comparing the Roku pro to the Sony new TV and I was seriously impressed by how much better the Roku looked. I might be biased but still
