Looks like someone banged it causing the polarizer to mess up...
fixable, not easy.

I'm not sure what the polarizer component in the display does, but I can research it. How would one go about fixing it? Of the 2.3million pixels on the screen its not overly noticeable, but I know where its is now.
I know how that feels, I had 2 dead pixels...they weren't noticeable, but I knew they were there....ticks me off.
So I ended up returning it.

I just watch V for Vendetta on Blu-ray on this monitor, and a few pixels don't affect a movie. But when you know where to look..
My iPhone was afflicted by the 'bubble in the glass' defect, and god was it annoying.
Any ideas on remedying this?

You can try UDPixel to see if it will free up 'semi' - stuck pixels.

This looks like something stuck on the back of the LCD panel that blocks light at that particular point...

If you moved the screen around then it could be a clump of dust that moved...

I agree with it being something behind the LCD screen, but in front of the backlight. Although I would not suggest it unless you feel very comfortable doing so, cracking the case open and using a can of air with the small straw to attempt to blow that particle out of the way sould do the trick.

THAT'S freakin funny!
This anomaly seems to lack any kind of definition, I would prefer it to be dust. Going on vacation next week, maybe I'll take it apart when I get back.

I've seen an ant on a rear projector big screen once. Was funny watching a 5 inch big blurry shadow of an ant running around the screen.
Scared the crap outa me when a spider did that. I was watching the Godfather and was like "Wait, what?" I couldn't find anything big enough to kill it with then I went up close and almost kicked myself, haha.
