Seriously? Has this happened to anybody else? I've been using this phone for 3 days And I already have burn in spots. Unbelievable. I use the phone on the lowest brightness settings too.

On another thread , they were saying the ripple effect caused something that could look like burn in .

Did you live your screen on for long, while displaying a static image?

Your phone has a defective screen if you are seeing burn in already. The LED's should not lose their luminescence within a few months. Years, yes. Months, no.

What about my situation - got the S3 in July - don't remember when I git the guilty as charged alarm Clock App.Is it something that's repairable - or need a new display?

If LED's lose their luminescence, I don't believe there is any way to fix them. Plasma, CRT and OLED screen are susceptible to burn in, especially if you leave a static image on the display for a really long time. But again, if this has happened in just a few months, I would say it had a faulty display. That is just my opinion though. I am by no means a display expert.
I would go to your carrier and show them the issue and ask for a replacement.
