Hello! I just bought this 55" Samsung LED tv from craigslist and it didn't seem to have any problems when I first looked at it. Then I traveled with it and it looks like theres a group of dead pixels on the screen that don't go away even if I change the input. How can I fix this? Here's what it looks like: http://imgur.com/a/mkzJw

That's a very odd looking thing, usually it's either lines or a random blob of pixels out, not a perfect rectangle. It actually looks like a part from the TV got loose and is in the way of the screen, not bad pixels. Open it up and look.
