Behind my screen protector i see spiderwebs hanging and a dead spider. i dont know if it's directly behind the screen saver or in the back of the tv and its just the projection making it look like it's right there in the front of tv.
It could be either place probably on the back of the screen itself. If it were on the picture tubes it would be big. You'll have to take the back off and check it.

Flat screens normally have 3 different inputs from tv. Regular is tv coax cable, then audio/picture by using special rca cables, then last HDMI. You can use any of those inputs except hdmi because you already are using that input. You may be able to buy a hdmi splitting device that will allow both the tv and the player to input to the single hdmi input. Check Radio Shack or Wal-Mart.
To remove the spiderwebs, you don't need to take the whole thing off. You just need to remove the screws around the screen frame (top and sides). The screen frame and mirror cover can be separated several inches with ease. You just need to use a flexible duster, one of those electro-static attracting numbers would be great, to clean the web out. Be careful not to disrupt the rear, large mirror and don't scratch the screen. Good luck.
Install the DPTV305_DPTV345 Chassis convergence repair kit. You can get the kit at the following link and it contains the parts plus instructions on CD. http://www.tvrepairworld.com/
the plastic trim pops off and there are screws that hold the glass in place that you have to take out to be able to remove the plexi. it takes about 20 minutes to do

You must remove the top back cover, but be careful and handle it gently because the mirror is attached to the inside of that cover. When the cover is removed you will be able to clear out any spiders, spiderwebs and dust and be sure to clean the 3 lenses on top of the 3 picture tubes.
Yes, I have seen this many times. Usually the best way is to remove the upper back cover and clean out the spider webs with a soft, dry cloth, but be careful because the mirror is mounted to the inside of the cover.
Here's my suggestion:
I have a 55" Philips HDTV and I live in an area known for excessive dust and more than a fair share of spiders.
I checked online and found that there are usually 1-4 access panels that can be removed for cleaning, repair, etc.
Here are my steps:
1. Remove the upper most panel (usually a trapezoid-shaped plastic "box"). There are anywhere from 1-4 "hangers" that, once all the screws are removed, will hold the panel in place while you are unscrewing the last few screws.
2. Remove the panel and clean with a lint-free cloth the entire inside of the panel. This is an area where a lot of dust and spider webs can be found.
3. Grab your vacuum cleaner and carefully clean away all the spider webs. Making sure you don't bump into the inside of the projector screen!
4. Spray a small amount of dust cleaner or window cleaner on the lint-free cloth and run the entire length of the TV. Clean all surfaces this way except the reflector (mirror). It is best to clean the mirror with compressed air (get it anywhere - usually in the computer section).
5. Using a flashlight or bare lightbulb, thoroughly inspect all surfaces for dust and spiderwebs. And, of course, clean anything missed the first time around.
6. Using a clean lint-free cloth (I find cotton underwear from Wal-Mart works the best), spray a very small amount of window cleaner (streak-free Windex, etc.) on the cloth and rub the cloth together until almost dry. Then, simply wipe all three lenses clean.
7. Replace the back panel and pay close attention to the alignment of the holes to ensure the screw goes back in the same way it came (if not, the panel could ultimately lose the seal and allow for more dust).
8. Allow for several minutes drying time before turning the set back on.
Hints:
1. Clean the speaker area, too.
2. Repeat the process at least each 30 - 45 days to ensure optimal performance.
3. Use a small computer fan to circulate air behind the set if the area gathers excessive dust. They're quiet and can be purchased (almost anywhere - Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, etc.)with switches that are easily accessible.
