Interesting Issue With My Plasma TV

I've had my TV for about a year, and I watch a lot of ESPN. You'd expect that my television has burn-in from the static content, but it doesn't. What I do have are some strange pixels that form a blurry outline of the ESPN logo and pop in as red pixels on dark (but non-black) backgrounds. It's starting to affect other areas of my set as well. Anyone have any idea what this is called? I'm waiting until Costco gets some better TVs to take this back, but I'd like to at least know what's happening.
 
Can you throw up a black and also a greyscale pattern on it to see if it's processing related or truly the screen?

Complete black doesn't cause any red pixels. The darker to medium side of a greyscale pattern is really the worst. Surfing the semi-transparent menus/apps on my PS3 are where I notice the issue the most. It really doesn't make sense that the pixels would somehow be "retained" from the ESPN logo. They aren't static.. they pop around in the same general vicinity.
