I don't have any details to work with so I can't begin the discussion. There is also the CNET Samsung forum at http://forums.cnet.com/samsung-forum/ where (mostly during the week) an Ambassador checks in.
There's a lot to check and it may be the TV but since Costco has a liberal exchange policy you might want to exchange it before you do the work.
