Sony X90CH 55" blinking red light on day 1

[Funkybee]

Just got the sony X90CH 55" from Costco. 10 mins in watching HDR content on youtube and tv shut down by itself and started blinking in red. Didn't know this was a Sony common issue and I didn't count how many times it blinked but it was definitely more than 4 times. I just pressed the remote's power button and tv restarted normally and its working now.
Should I be concerned? Return it?
I did a quick google search and some articles were saying that it's potentially a main board issue and might need service...
Did any of you had this experience?

Unsure but prob worth returning, but buying from Costco you are pretty much set to return in damn near anytime you want when you have issues.

Definitely return it and exchange it for another.

Got the same TV months ago. Use it almost every day. Has been fine. Assuming you just got a bad unit.

Yeah that was the main reason I got it on Costco, so I can return it anytime.

If you just got it, you should return/exchange it. Maybe you got a dud unit.

Thinking to keep it for a week or something and see if it happens again, but that was definitely a bad sign and it could happen anytime later.

Just unpacked it so yeah, probably a dud one. It actually happened as soon as I updated the firmware and opened a youtube video.

I have the since launch date, never had any kind of problem like this. Change it. And don't use Youtube apps on that TV, super buggy and create after effect that apply on all other video shown in any other application, i kid you not. We are multiple to have that happen on reddit.

What the? Do you mind mentioning the subreddit post? Not sure if you can link it here. I mean buying a $1000 TV and not being able to use youtube is not even funny to me.

you never saw little line appearing at random when open other app ? This is cause by youtube, if you restart the TV everything is back to normal

youtube work fine, it just create weird image distortion when you open it before other app, i don't know what combinaison of thing we have to do for that effect to appear. I don't remember the reddit but i post my problem in official TV thread here and someone else send me the reddit link, since i stop using youtube app on the TV never god that problem again.
