Have recently upgraded from 36" crt to LG 42" PLASMA. I have noticed there are lots of red dots(speckles) appearing randomly all over the screen especially noticeable on any picture with a black background.If I switch the T.V to an input with nothing attached to it (just a black screen)they are still there and more noticeable as there is no picture present.Is this a problem with the T.V or are there any adjustments that need to be made.When a picture is present you do have to look very close to notice the spots and the picture is very good(spots aside).Any help much appreciated.

I can't give you an answer as to what it is, but we get that every now and then. Tho only on dark pictures and only on the black part of images.

What we get quite a lot of is on light images, where there is lots of green shading. over indiscriminate parts of the screen.

Doesn't matter what input we use. HD, analogue terrestrial, Scart.

That I cant get an asnwer to.

At a guess, I would first suspect the PDP (the actual plasma panel).

Red speckles or green shading?

I hadrly ever get the red speckles, only occasionally and when i select a channel with no input the screen goes blue, so no.

The green shading, yes, it still does it with no input.

if there always in the same place its stuck pixels
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuck_pixel, some times you can fix them with a video that changes between colours fast, over a few hours or try this http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Stuck-P...an-LCD-Monitor
