oh man did i dodge a bullet on this one! The screen is back to almost
normal, that black rectangle is 95% gone, I had the heat in my home turned
up to 70 the past couple of days because of cold weather here in northern
MN, and brought up the hair dryer to do what you said and the spot was
almost gone! Evaporation from the heat in the house and low humidity. I
still blew the hair dryer on it for awhile, will do so more later. I can
live with it the way it is, hopefully more of it will still go away.
I just do not understand what causes the black coloration if it is just a
liquid, that is the bluish glass cleaner liquid that got up there. Just
curious, if anybody knows. Polarization of the liquid or something?
Thanks all for the help, even though this time I did not have to buy a new
screen. I was just SICK over the thought of $800+, I am sure going to be
VERY careful now about cleaning the TV, taking better care of it, reading
manuals (ok, yeah right, like we all say we will wash and wax a new car
the first days after driving off the Dealer's lot, LOL).
