Hi,
Blue and yellow-green spots appear on my Toshiba SDTV whenever there is white on-screen for a certain amount of time (I think it's around 30 seconds). It is extremely distracting, especially when playing video games (the Xbox 360 Guide menu is white, you can imagine how often I see these spots). They stay for a long time and come up often.
For the longest time now I've just dealt with it, but the spots have been there since Day 1 and, since they haven't gone away with time, I'm now forced to ask the Internet (specifically, Tom's Hardware, as I've used Tom's Guide - aka Computing.net - in the past with reliable results) if/how this can be fixed.
Here are two pictures; they may be hard to see as my TV is a flat-screen CRT (I think, I can see the bars going down the screen with my phone's camera). The TV has Component (that is, RGB) inputs and calls those "COLOR STREAM", if that helps to determine the model. It also has standard Composite inputs, and the spots appear across both, and I'm pretty sure they appear when watching TV shows, though maybe not, as what show has ever-present white? (Another prominent example of a cause of these spots can be as simple as the sky in Forza Motorsport 3 when in the cockpit view.)
