You may have voided any warrenty, in which case, feel free to try
to
buff it out before seeking a replacement screen.  The worst case
scenario for a DLP involves the back part of the tube caving in
from
having lost support.

Someone posted having done this without taking
the set into a clean room.  Wound up with specks
of dust on the rear of the screen and on the
mirrors.

Clean room? The Samsung DLP isn't sealed and has a back access port
where you can reach in to adjust the focus - certainly not done is a
clean room - because who has one? Those 'specks' sound more like
CLUMPS. No visible blems in ours after I had the light engine out in
January to replace the color wheel.

When I worked for Sony, I worked on the last of the tube cameras where
dust on the surface of the 2/3" pickup tubes WAS a problem. I worked
on them in the camera lab which was just another room but with charts
and lighting, certainly not a clean room - but I managed to get the
optics clean.
