Sony LCD projetion screen TV screen spot


I have had my Sony TV, 50" LCD projection screen, for about a year. I have recently noticed a small very slight reddish spot in the center right of the TV when the screen is black. It almost looks like the residual effects of when someone put a magnet to a CRT monitor. Any idea what this is, or if it is a huge problem?

I don't notice it when there is something on the screen.

Thanks for your answeres

Huh. I am in the market for a new TV. Not sure of the type though as of yet. I had a Sony in the past that was not very reliable. I guess I will stay away from the Sony's.
I hyave been using FPTV for years now with a 100" screen. Sold the hgouse and am considering going to a 36" Direct view set.
Sounds like a "stuck pixel". I've had one stuck red since I recieved my Sony 60" Grand Wega 1.5 years ago. I was told by Sony you had to have 3+ before they'd replace the set. Have to admit we never notice that pixel except when the screen is grayed or blacked out, even though it's pretty much in the center. Doesn't sound like yours is a huge deal either. We love our set.
