        @gaska you sure it's not burn in on your TV? If its a LCD TV it should fade eventually. My TV does a tad bit of burn in which goes away in a few minutes.

          @gaska most likely your tv is old and tired.

            If it doesn't go away on its own after a while, your television may have an option to display a white screen as a means to alleviate the issue. If it doesn't, you can display a white image yourself using something like Kodi. Let it display for about 10-20 minutes. If it doesn't go away after that, it's likely permanent.

              deffo sounds like a case of burn-in have this with an older plasma of mine that was permanent due to extended sessions of halo with my friends we ended up with a permanant ammo counter on screen plus other hud elements

              mediamogul's suggestion should sort you out if its not permanant
