While watching my 2 year old samsung LCD tv, several clusters of pixels (6 of them roughly 4″x4″ each) began to gradually flicker rapidly back and fourth with different colors that do not match the rest of picture- it looks like little chunks of colorful static in several locations. Ideas as to the problem? Fixable without replacing the LCD?
