Burn marks on TFT screens?

I have 3 VideoSeven screens and I have just noticed that they all have the same mark which looks like the old burn marks you used to get on CRT monitors. All in the same place and all a white streak that only appears when a dialogue box with a white ground is moved across the place where the marks are present (a 1/4" wide mark about 2" down on the left hand side and stretching half way across the screen to nothing). It looks vaguely like the mark left by the last dialogue box that was there.
any ideas anyone? I have not tried to fix this yet with refresh rates, contrast or whatever - the field is open!

TFT burn??? Hummm leave the monitor off for about 5-6 hours.. TFT's shouldn't burn in, I'd say pixel failure but its white...

Try using the adjust to move the screen right over to the right then back again.

3 screens on two identical PCiE graphics cards with the same marks - latest drivers and no drivers available for the screens as they run as windows default monitors.
The marks are there when the machines are powered on in the morning - will fiddle with the refresh rate and advise.

Tweaked refresh rates to max - just made it worse so reset to 60 Hertz.
