LCD TV picture quality

I have a 5 yr old Hitachi 50" LCD TV. The picture quality has degraded. There is a blue-ish/bright appearance in the center of the screen. I replaced the LCD bulb, but it has not solved the problem. Any ideas?

From Hitachi...Select a non-used or blank Video input.

The set displays a condition with a reddish or bluish oval relatively in the center of the screen

The problem is the light engine. Part # UX22201D
If you check around you can find a rebuilt one for $500 to $ 600 ouch! I know.New ones are between 900 and $ 1,000.
