Sanyo and a polaroid shadows on the screen?

[102mm]

I thought i had two TV's repaired until i started playing a movie on them and noticed this weird shadow on the screens. seems to be in about the same spot on both. what causes this problem?
The Sanyo is a DP32746 but i don't have access to the Polaroid but i know there are no similar parts between the two

did you put them face-down on something that was not flat?

no they have been on upright the whole time.. you can still see the image on the screen in the dim area. it just looks bad..

did you have the panel out or has it been out? thoughts are maybe something between the diffuser and panel.

Haven't touched the panel, they have been in storage.. I just noticed that the dark spot on the Sanyo has some image retention in that spot.. it's almost similar to the failing AS15 chip on some tcons.. but that chip is not on this tcon..

maybe they got bumped in storage, strange they appear to be in the same spot.
