    I have a small white spot (technically not white, just lighter than other spots) on my screen, and I've read that others have the same problem on the P7811-FX. Most of the places I've looked suggest using a stuck pixel fixing tool, but I don't think it's stuck pixels. For one, the spot looks like it's "behind" the screen. When I move my head, it looks like it isn't quite staying in one place relative to the pixels. Also, it completely disappears when the screen displays black. This sounds like a backlight problem to me. My question is, will it get any worse that it is now. I don't really know much about backlights on LCD screens.
