Sony 42" projection tv LCD, 1 1/2 yr. old, showing pink spot on middle of screen,?

Pinkish colored spots are more noticable on lighter backgrounds. I changed the projection bulb, Cleaned what looks like a prism mirror to no avail. I do not intend to fix this problem myself but am wondering what could be causing the problem and if it's worth fixing?Sony 42%26quot; projection tv LCD, 1 1/2 yr. old, showing pink spot on middle of screen,?There is probably a bit of dust on the green LCD panel. This means that only blue and red are getting through at that particular spot in the picture leaving a pinkish or purplish %26quot;spot%26quot; where the green is missing. Canned air might just do the trick if you can get to the green LCD panel.

Okay, I'm confused. You pick my answer (thank you) but then imply the second answer is better. Actually, if the other answer had any validity at all, you would have lots bigger problems than just a spot on the screen. Obviously that answerer is just offering another opinion.

Yes lets hope that it only dust because if it isn't means one of the LCD crack (over heated), usually you must replace the whole optical block. it's not cheap almost 50% of the TV price.
