Solved: Plasma Display Grain
I just noticed occasionally my Pioneer plasma display will sometimes get a blob of blue and sometimes purple pixels with a lot of noise (Not audio noise, noise as in grainy) that slowly fades in and out around the center of the screen.

What is the problem? Is it getting too hot?

Not sure what the issue is, but it sure sounds like a physical hardware problem!

Try moving your speakers away from the Screen, i know that is one cause of that.

A plasma screen is unaffected by magnetic fields, you're thinking of CRT displays!

I think the problem was heat.

I blew all the dust and crap out of my plasma, tuner and all my other stuff and now it works fine.
