quick plasma question lg 42 pa 4500

[jimbofz]

with the tv unplugged and not in use:
if a plasma screen has a yellowish patch or tinge
is this a sign that the panel is gassed
or worn?
its hard to photograph
but in daylight instead of being a uniform black,
it looks yellowish in the corner ,theres no sign of cabinet damage.

Bit of a mission , but all i can think of is removing display to clean .

It does look like this model has a uv filter in front of the plasma panel so either the uv filter or the front of the panel would need to be cleaned.

sorted
for anyone with similar conditions the front reflection diffuser glass was removed and it was clear some of the coating had faded
i assume when it was not in use it had direct sunlight on it for years
in no way does it affect pic when in use
