Some preliminary google searches say it may be a backlight or LED issue.

Anyone have any experience with this issue? Are repairs possible at a price point that make sense, or is it time to start shopping for my next set?
Degauss that MF'er!

There is no, real practical way to fix flat panels especially the curved ones. If you could even source the panel to replace it it would cost as much if not more than a new TV. You might be able to run a full field white for awhile (like hours) to even out the panel but all that really does is degrade the entire tv to "even" things out.
