Red brownish spots on the screen?

I just noticed I have 3 red brownish spots on my screen with varying size and irregular shape, 2 as big as a grain of rice, and 1 as big as a pencil(about an inch long). I'm not sure if it is always there, but it only become visible when the screen is on and dark colors are displayed around that area. Most visible when it's displaying pure black.



Does anyone know what causes this issue and how to fix it?

A new screen. Could be from heat, pressure, or faulty backlight.

yes that sounds like something similar to DK's ideas rather than a dead pixel.

It looks like it is contact Dell time for return/replacement.

^ Yup, just so you didn't get what DK and mark said



Contact Dell and get a new screen fitted.

This is a replacement I bought to swap out the crappy 720p stock screen.



Not sure if it happened before I got it, or if I accidentally damaged it during swapping, but either way, I'm not going to go through the hassle of replacing it. The spots are there but barely visible without paying close attention.

I'm pretty sure LG provides their own warranty on that panel. You'd have to contact them for a replacement if you wanted to get one.
