It reminded me of what I used to call "snow" on older TVs, but the spots were actually small lines of light color that were pretty stable in their size and position...until you cycle the power. Then the pattern...

Then the pattern would change. The picture has this problem no matter what input I choose, and when I click input I can see the problem...
