I see what you mean. I can't return the monitor or get tech support
though.

however I have come up with a cunning plan :)

There is a piece of test software for TFT monitors called Dead Pixel
Buddy (Freeware: http://www.laptopshowcase.co.uk/downloads.php?id=1)
which has a cycle colours option as well as allowing you to view each
primary colour full screen to check for dead pixels..

I'm going to run the colour cycle every so often to see if it
re-stresses the burnt in areas into returning to normal.

I agree it may not be immediately permanent and is probably elastic in
its properties but even elastic stretches over time.

Anyway. I'll see what happens with no game playing and the colour
cycle thingy...
