Anyone have any idea of wtf this is? I dont think its a dead or stuck pixel/pixels. I cant see it from where i sit, but it still bugs me that it is there. There is a smaller one towards the right too. It almost looks like the screen is dirty, but its under the screen.

Dust blob inside lens assembly of your projector, if it is not a sealed lens assembly?

You can google for (infocus) 4805 dust blob to see discussion of issue on another projector.

I agree with mshan. That looks like some kind of dust clump or possibly a "factory-oops" scratch on the back of the glass.

You'd be amazed what can get in behind the screen on a TV. I believe someone on these forums had a similar incident with a very small spider crawling between the panel and the top glass; he thought it was dead pixels - until they started moving!

Well, in addition to this, when i put it on a white screen to see if there were any other dead/stuck pixels, i found a spot a few pixels wide/high, right at the area where the screen meets the frame, that is all messed up, like a bunch of stuck pixels. i found another area similar to this at the top (the other is at the bottom), but smaller.

in addition to this i have minor clouds and some lights at the top two corners, and i had some stuck pixels that i unstuck myself when i first got it.

Should i do an exchange? Its hard to see these problems, but im scared that i got a bad panel that will screw me later on.

Definitely do an exchange if possible. Sounds like you got a bad panel, or it got squeezed too hard during final assembly. What brand/model is this?
