Dark area on screen.

My tv has had a dark area approx 8 in long on the left side of the screen. You can still watch tv but the image is shadowed. Also, when the tv is paused for any length of time through tivo or on a dvd the image will be retained once I start it back up again, almost a ghost image. Is the set shot ? Is there any way to fix this ?

    Problem is I don't have any speakers except for the ones the tv came with.

    I have the same problem. I have a dark image about 2" wide and 8" long that runs down the left center of the screen that causes the color and black and white programs to be affected. What is the problem?

    I also have the dark patch that runs down the left center of the screen on my Maxent LCD tv. I don't have any speakers near the tv.

    I can't find information anywhere as to what can cause this problem. is the screen shot?

Dark shadow

Uh Oh! Your light engine is warping a little from overheating and is distorting the picture. It usually means replacing the light engine.

My suggestion to you is to get on the phone with Samsung and start complaining, then keep complaining until they agree to pay for it. You may have to get the problem diagnosed by a pro before they agree to pay for it though.
Hope ya fix it!

Have like black shadow lines about 3 to 4 inches wide on my screen

Dark shadows can show up on a TV screen when the images have been displayed for a vert long time and have now become stuck in the LCD and the screen for your TV . Or the LCD and the TV's screen might be broken for your TV and needs to be replaced.

Dark vertical shadows

No,you can't. This is very common. I bought a new tv and i noticed right away that it had the problem you are mentioning. I took it back for an exchange and the next tv did not have this problem...until a year later. Now,of course it does have this problem,but it is out of warranty.

I think they make televisions very poorly today.

Dlp has dark blue areas on screen

Have you tried magic focus? if that doesn't work
replace the pcb convergence board,, It costs $96 and takes 10 minutes to replace you will have to manually line up your convergence afterward as the settings go to factory default. Everyone that owns this set has or will have to replace this part within 3 years

WS-55807: Images are dark on right side of display, but will go away after 3-4 hours.

you could be on the right track get some freeze spray and go around all the parts to see if you can make it act up, same with heatgun or hair dryer when first turned on heat one area at a time to narrow your problem down
