LCD's generally do not suffer from burn in. The old CRT monitors and to a smaller extend, the Plasma TV's have a burn in problem. Most probably, you have a dead pixel. Talk to the manufacturer and see if the warranty covers it.

::THWACKs own head:: That's exactly what it would be! Whoops. I need to go to sleep and regain my fading consciousness when I wake up...

What you have there is a stuck pixel. I had a stuck pixel on my Sharp Aquos not to long ago and I fixed it. This is what I did: with the TV turned on, apply pressure to the spot where the pixel is with your finger, maybe put a micro-fiber cloth over your finger first, or something that wont scratch your screen. Then message the spot where the pixel is, turn the TV off while still messaging it and then turn it back on. That should fix the pixel. If it does not work on the first try, try varying the amounts of pressure and the time that the TV is on and off. Be very careful not to use too much pressure because you do not want to damage your screen. Good Luck.

Yea. It worked on the first try. I had done it before on other TVs.

Dead pixels do suck. Too bad TV's don't have the ability to at least deactivate that one pixel that causes a problem.

FYI- Burn in is virtually impossible on an LCD, though I'm sure it has happened somewhere for some odd reason. The only thing more impervious to burn-in is DLP. Plasma is the most likely to suffer burn-in.

stuck pixel. dead pixels dont show any color I believe.

I had a stuck pixel (red) when I bought my LCD then a few weeks later another one came stuck (blue or green can't remember) but they both magically dissapeared
