If it's under warranty, send this pic to service center and claim warranty.
Else try to bring a magnet near the monitor and swipe the area with the magnet. It used to resolve such glows in CRT monitors. Not sure it will work on this one.

remove magnets from the side, vyom!! :D

but yeah, look for sources of EM/magnetic radiation. thats the only thing that can cause that sort of stuff, other than physical damage.

simplest way : move monitor a fair bit away from normal spot (hope your cable is long enough).

EDIT : wait, WHAT?!?!?! 2 VYOMS?!?!?!? :shock: WE ARE DOOMED!!!! :bananana:
