White spot on New HD-52G886 screen
We just purchased a HD-52G886 3 days ago. Last night, we turned off the TV and noticed a white (blurry) circle in the center of the screen. Under the circle is a lighter triangle blur that runs to the bottom of the screen. My husband said it looks like "burn-in". From what we've read, this type of TV doesn't get "burn-in"...hence one of the reasons we bought it.
This is very upsetting, especially after owning it for only a few days. We are putting a call into HH Gregg, when they open. Has anyone experienced this or know what it is? Also, we didn't get the extended warranty. Should we have? Thanks in Advance! |

It is not burn in, as you say, this type of TV doesn't get burn in.
Does the "image described" fade after the TV has been off for a while? It could just be some residual light? See the HDTV FAQ regarding Extended Warranties.

At first, we thought it was coming from a light source in the house. After experimenting with various lights we ruled that out. It has not faded in the 7 hours it was off. The "blur" image is also noticable (very slightly) when the TV is on the blue input screen. The white blur is about the size of a softball and below it is a light triangle/cone.

Try unplugging the TV for a while (an hour?). See if the light goes away. Plug it back in. Turn TV on - OK? Turn TV off - OK? Report back...

I believe I have noticed the same thing with our HD 61z575. It has this haze in the middle of the screen a little smaller than a football. The only time I notice it is when its turned off. Under normal viewing I haven't noticed it. I will be on the look out tonight to see if I can see it while its on.
