Hmm... thats the first I heard of a color screen with this problem. 
The Duo 280 scren problem is something many people have run across.

I think the corners are getting "stuck" and not relaxing back into 
transparency.  I dont recal seeing old images.  My next wild guess is 
to replace several capacitors on the LCD power board and see if that 
works.
