In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed occasional sparkling pixels around the top right edge of my TV when displaying certain static images. It is easier/quicker to trigger when the TV is cold, and behaves better when the TV has warmed up. It seems to be mostly green, with the occasional red sparkling pixel.
The original thing that triggered it, and can be used to trigger it very reliably is a particular screen from the Hulu app, and I've included a picture with that screen showing it. Generally when I change to another screen, it will go away quickly, possibly with some initial heavy sparkling. I can also trigger it with a solid blue or red slide using the built-in photo viewer.
There are a few screens that seem to let it continue for much longer once triggered, but don't necessarily trigger the issue. One of those screens is the one I've included with the dark screen. It seems when I come back to that screen after triggering it, sometimes there will even be green sparklies all over the right side of the screen, and along most of the very top edge of the picture. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture of it showing that because my camera wasn't ready at the time and Amazon got rid of that ad from my Fire TV.
Thankfully, at this point, it doesn't seem to affect general viewing, but I'm worried it probably will at some point. I'm also not sure that I'm wanting to tackle this myself, and may call someone out to look at it, but I would like your opinion, as there seem to be a couple of plasma experts here.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and advice!
