Dark Spot on Samsung UN60EH6000	Can't Post

I have this dark spot that's been showing up recently near the center of my screen. I started to live with it as it only seems to show during dark lit objects on screen. But now it's starting to get obnoxious, especially while gaming as there are so many dark areas in the games I play. Anyone seen this or know what the issue might be? I got this TV in 2013 so it's well out of warranty, if anyone might know what this is, an estimate on repair costs would be much appreciated as well.

1st and 3rd seem to show that your screen has been receiving 'noogies.'

Try putting a blank pattern of red, then green and lastly blue and see if dark spot is in same location.
If spot is in same exact area ... let me guess ... the set was recently transported and something was leaning on that spot?

Yes the spot is in the same location regardless of the pattern. I have moved recently so it's likely something was resting on the tv at some point. I don't know if this matters, but I did used to have it on a tilted wall mount at my old address, do you think that may have done something as well.

Good luck finding a panel.

If you get a replacement TV, SAVE the box and packing materials. Re-boxing it when moving and following instructions on the box (or user manual) regarding how to transport should minimize chance of damaging next time.
