Thank you for that response. That makes sense because it is also LCD
based...

An update on what is happening... it is not the goo or liquid part.

It is the individual LCD crystal pixel. LCD works by changing molecular
structure based on the charge on it making it either black/opaque or see
through. What happens is the crystal can get stuck in one state.

This is certainly not burn in in the conventional sense that an area has
been damaged as with phosphor based displays.
