As some of you know, I eventually got Samsung to replace my few months old H7000 panel due to a dead pixel. When the new panel arrived and I switched on, I was horrified with the clouding compared to my old panel :/ First thing I thought of was PostmanPot and his comments - and knew I had to fix this.

Anyway - started checking out the web and found a few people talking about rubbing / massaginging / tapping the screen in the area. Also, slightly loosening the screws was said to have helped :

Anyway - you can do this at your own risk, but worked well for me! Rubbed my screen and slightly loosened one of the screws. I do have a flashlight/cloud - but I'm hesitant to complain again and not know if I inherit something worse. Currently, not even noticeable
