Thank you for checking, sorry to hear about this.
Sharp pushed me over the edge, as much as I wanted to keep this TV, green on white scenes bothers me, my $1000 TV does not have this problem. The tech, that came out today, saw green and pinkish blotches/clouds and told me that in front of my adult family. Sharp called me just 2 hours ago and lied that tech told them that screen is perfect in every way... i asked for that in writing but nothing came through. Emotions aside, nobody should be going through motions that that I went through, how many hours I had to take off work to be home for exchanges or repairs. All in all, Vernon Hills Best Buy's Magnolia were top-notch in customer care, Sharp/Elite was abysmally poor. One customer voice does not matter but...
On the phone with Magnolia and returning it now.
Many thanks to all of you who helped me along the way.

When I first checked the new set right after unboxing it, I did not see it. I think it was too faint for me to notice. After the delivery people left, I spend more time with the 50% to 109% gray full field patterns and I can SOMETIMES make out the green patches. When watching normal day-to-day material, I can't see the patches at all. But when I tested "The Art of Flight" (snowboard documentary), I can definitely discern the green patches pretty easily with the white snowy backgrounds.
So, what am I going to do at this point??? I think I'll use the set for couple of weeks and see if the patches will go away. After couple of weeks, I will measure screen uniformity using my spectrophotometer. I've owned the Elite for over a year now, any of my options have to deal with Sharp directly.
My suggestion for you is to return the set to BB if you are uncomfortable with the green patches. I definitely would if I still can.
I forgot to check the manufacturing date of my new set yesterday. I will find out and post back.
