Seeing as this model is edge-lit it would seem one or more of the LED's have shorted.

The third picture doesn't have the darkness, so it isn't there all the time, correct?

if the picture is bright and lots of color it is barely visible...but when there are dark colors it is very apparent.

Could be a tab bond issue.

Example there, if a little pressure applied to the tab bond clears up the picture then you may be able to shim it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCExlSnG4yY

Another example there with a sanyo, I did one a while back for myself, I only did the bad tab and only shimmed one side, NorCal did a thorough job on it there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=purk_SyiT44
