image on tv goes green

I have a 56' Samsung DLP around 6 yrs old. I have replaced the bulb, color wheel and light engine board in the last 14 months so I have some experience. Luckily, I had an extended 5 yr. warranty on to cover the board which runs around $1k for the part.. ...Bulbs can last 1000 to 3000 hrs depending on the type of use the unit gets. Bulbs begin in to flicker, take longer to turn on and have decreased brightness as they begin to fail...Your set is a DLP given its age not an LED. You say you replaced the bulb/wheel module.?? They are two separate items...One has nothing to do with the other...Bulbs run $80-$125. The color wheels run $150 and up and are not that simple to replace...If bulb was just replaced I would take a look at the wheel. I was able to replace mine with a little help from youtube and some folks on AVSforum.

Let me know

Raks,

Your problem sounds like a drop in the picture signal that causes the screen to go green. Could be the HDMI cord/connection or it could be a drop in the picture signal from the cable company. The audio signal may be strong enough that the audio doesn't drop out. Just a possibility.

Now that you mention it, when I was having cable box issues a few months ago I was getting completely green screen. I took the cable box back and exchanged it and it's been fine since. I didn't get any part of the video feed when it happened.

My issues are definitely not related to a cable box. The TV has been in three locations in two houses and has the same issue no matter which source or electrical supply it is connected to.

Thanks all.
In the end, Noble had the best idea - google "Samsung DLP problem green screen".

Turns out that this appears to be a design defect - well documented via dozens of customer postings. It appears that my set is doomed to die a "green death". See the thread called "Mitsubishi Laser Vue vs Flat Screen" for my follow up question.

Again, thanks to all of you guys for taking the time to help.
