If you don't want to deal with warranty systems. It looks like a pressure point on the LCD and is not considered user serviceable.

I just set up my Vizio 55", purchased from Amazon. To my frustration, there is a semi-circle aura at times that is really distracting.
Reading the forums it seems it might be 'Dirty Screen Effect' but it's strange to me how localized it is. I don't see it anywhere else on the screen. Just in one spot.
It's most noticeable when there are mostly-stable light colors (especially greys, but also whites, light blues, yellows). I'd say it appears maybe 5-10% of viewing time. And to be fair it's less noticeable if you view the screen at eye level (my couch is situated about one foot below the TV).
Amazon doesn't have a great return policy for TVs of this size. What I guess I'm most eager to know is whether this is something that will get worse.
If it stays the way it is (the same size, the same frequency) I think I can probably live with it. But if it's something that will get worse I'm quite concerned.
I've uploaded pics that show it at its worst here:
