I would exchange it and see if the next one is better. They said it was common with my TV as well, I got lucky. If you are past your 30 day return policy, either get warranty support or turn your backlight down as far as you can stand.

Take it back and get the 46Z4100 off Amazon for the same price. (Except without added sales tax)

return it... it is a known problem with samsungs & sony lcds, on any model number.... it is called 'clouding'.

It is tought that it happens (damaged) in shipping by eather it is not shipped up right or that something has rested against the LCD screen or even something resting against the styrofoam inserts putting stress on that corner of the tv. Some think it is quality control issues... I few years ago sony moved the screen production to a diffrent country (I forget at this time what one) & quality control then went down some.

If you can not return it....
the one thing that I have read that can help to fix it or reduce it, is to lay the tv flat on the back (the screen up) for a few days & DO NOT let anyone put anything on top or let any pet on top.

You can return at Best Buy, just may need to pay a restocking fee.
