My RCA TV set does the same thing if no image is being displayed when the
power is turned off.  If no signal is being given to the TV input, such as
the cable converter box or a video game being turned off before the TV is
turned off, several colored splotches appear.  I've only waited a half hour
for the splotches to fade before giving up and turning it off the way which
works right.
