Large 3" and 2" Dark Circles with aura, appeared suddenly on monitor screen.. and will not clear

[SteveM001]

These blotches appeared on the monitor screen mysteriously yesterday.   They have a shimmering aura around them but are otherwise black, with occasional colors emeshed. 

Monitor is a Samsung MultiSync Syncmaster XL3270HD LCD monitor.  It has been reliable for several years and only just had this happen. 

Any idea what it is and whether I can fix it?

Thank you,

Steve

I would recoomend making sure this is occuring on all soruces and with another device connected to the monitor. If this is still occuring then this will require service. Depending on your warranty you will have a few options.
