I'm going to call LG about it tomorrow but thought i'd check her to see if anyone has a quick fix or know what it could be.
Thanks

Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself - A. H. Weiler
Fred99: That is a fault on the panel. If there is excessive backlight bleed as well as that, then my guess would be that the TV has had a good whack in transport etc, and/or has been transported lying flat rather than upright.
Fixing it would require replacing the panel - but while they could probably do that, it's probably easier for them just to replace the TV. Keep pushing them. The comment about "burn" sounds like the person didn't know what they were talking about. "Burn" used to happen with Plasma, and while LCD panels can be damaged by heat, that comment sounds like ignorance or an attempt to dodge liability.

I definitely got the feeling that she had no idea what she was talking about and she wasn't very helpful at all and tried to tell me the closest service repair place was in Te Puke, i'm in Palmerston North so that's about a 5 hour drive away.
Surprisingly, as I binge watched Orange is the new black on netflix yesterday, I noticed it slowly got smaller and this morning the blob was completely gone. Could it have been anything to do with the temp of the room? It was pretty cold the day it showed up but i'm completely baffled by it.
I did send pics to a LG technician and I will wait to see what they say about it. Since it's gone should I still push to get it fixed or looked at?
trig42: I have a friend who had a very similar looking blob on his new Dell All in One PC - it looked as though there was liquid inside the screen and the text/image under the blob (which looked bigger than the OPs) was out of focus.
I don't know who makes Dell's LED screens. Must ask him whether he got it sorted, or if it just went away like this one.

Weird - perhaps it had impact from something in that area and in time, the laminates smoothed out.
Didn't you say that the panel also had excessive backlight bleed? If so, then yes - I'd still be pushing for replacement.
If not, then I'd probably be happy to keep it, but keep records, photos etc, so if the problem returns you can show that you'd expressed concern about the possible fault earlier.
