55XF9005 gives off unpleasant odour

I recently bought this TV and since the first time I switched it on it has given off a nasty electrical/electronic type smell, which I hoped would go away after a couple of days. Unfortunately it hasn’t improved, in fact it gets worse when playing HDR content. The smell is so bad it gave me headaches every time I used it, so I am having to return it for a refund.

 

I read from reviews that the TV should run relatively cool, yet my TV felt quite hot to the touch at the top after HDR had been running for a while.

 

It is a real shame as I loved the picture quality, but am concerned that I may get another with the same issue, so don’t have much confidence in this model, hence asking the retailer for a refund, rather than a replacement.

 

It may be that I was just unlucky and got a faulty one but I wondered if anyone else had similar issues and if so did you get it resolved?
