This is normal, there is nothing wrong with TV.

b. Some minute dot defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they have no

adverse effect on the monitor's performance.

c. Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time.

Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.
