traverse198,
Some clouding is inherent with LCD panels. You can try to exchange it for another unit if you'd like to, but I don't have any definitive measure on how much clouding is acceptable.
I always encourage users to do what's best for them and what makes them happy.

ok, so I recently purchased the above mentioned set, great picture. No IR issue which I was happy about, but I have what I researched as clouding. It is usually mostly on the top right corner. During periods of solid color screen, it is noticeable in various places. It is not a problem while watching movies/TV, but still annoying. Is there a recommended fix, does it get better? How much clouding is acceptable for a $1000K + tv? I have the option to take it back for another same TV or different brand. thank you all in advance for your replies.
