This is going to be either a software failure or a hardware chip failure.

The first thing to do is a soft reset by unplugging from AC for at least 10 min. If that fails do a hard reset, look at your manual for that.

These TVs are known for this, due to a eMMC chip failure apparently. These sort of circuits are known as flip/flop circuits. Capacitor failures in these type of circuits can cause the problem you are having.

If a hard reset does not solve it, I don't think there is anything else you can do.

I noticed a purple tiny in one spot that is noticeable on Netflix but not the spectrum app. I’ll check Blu-ray also sometimes ..

no purple on cable tv spectrum .

Netflix again.

Did you try using a different HDMI cable? The purple area may be a problem with the screen but lack of signal can be caused by the cable.
