My 27" w/ s-video was doing the same thing. The only way I could get rid of it was actually turning the contrast up to about to about 3/4 of the maximum level, and then turn the brightness down. I'm not sure if this is the correct fix, but the hotspot doesn't show up anymore, and all the colors still appear bright and vivid. I only turned the brightness down because the high contrast setting was a bit hard on the eyes.
By what Todd said, if the hotspot is caused by high contrast, I'm not sure why turning the contrast up helps get rid of it. I would think it would have the opposite effect, but monitors are not my strong point.... Could this damage the TV with long term use? I don't know. I've had it running this way for a while now, maybe a couple of months or so, and I haven't seen any change so far.
