2007wfp "Permanent Color Bleed"

I bought my 2007wfp back in May 2006, so its nearing 2 years old soon, and its been a great monitor. However, I seem to have bad luck, just yesterday I was praising this monitor as being awesome and today I noticed there was color problems at the top of my screen. It appears to be a color problem with the liquid crystals at top.

Below, both images clearly show color problems at the top of the screen. I have no idea what the correct term for this type of issue but it seems to be some type of bleed through.

Now I have never cleaned my monitor, it has tons of finger prints and muck on it and I live in an extremely dry and cold climate, hence, it wouldn't be moisture. Anyone have a similar issue?

    Hi Peter.A.H. I saw your pictures and sadly I must say that this is a common problem on the 2007wfp line of monitors and of the S-IPS screens in general.

    I've got this exact problem some months ago. I open up a thread about the issue here, but no one was able to answer why this happens. I concluded that this is some temperature problem that deteriorates the LCD cells on this area, forcing them to behave on weird manners.

    I recommend you to call warranty and exchange the panel.

    I came here to post the exact same issue. My 2007WFP is just over a year old and I'm experiencing the same color bleed. Its especially noticable on dark screens.  I'm also experiencing staining where if I leave a window open on the screen, it'll leave a shadow of the window if left there for an extended period of time.

    I've loved this monitor since the day I got it so I really hope these are at least semi-isolated incidences and not a problem with the design of the monitor. I'm going to go ahead and take Somnio's advice and just contact the warranty people.
