I have a Samsung LCD TV, purchased about a year ago. I began to notice some "white" spots on the set... specifically, on a black background, there was some definite graying of the panel is specific areas. I had a tech look at it, and he said it was burn-in (even though it's an LCD). So, make the call, is it burn-in?
Nah.. sounds to me you may have had stuck pixels..
I bought an LCD monitor a few months ago and had to return it the next day for an xchange, due to 2 stuck pixels.. They were green and one was just off center, bugged the hell outa me.. Replacement was flawless..
I would say your panel is busted. My RP LCD did a similar thing. You can argue whether it's because the panel was defective or you just got unlucky, but it's not burn-in because it isn't related to what is on the screen at all (other than it is more visible at some times than others).
