image on tv goes green

I have a large Samsung DLP that has started to ocassionally flash to black outlines on a bright green screen. It looks almost like a solarized photograph. This occurs independent of source - both on DVD/blue-ray and on satellite TV.

This might occur once in five or ten hours and might last 5 to 20 seconds.

Any tech types out there have a guess as to what's going on here.

Thanks in advance.

Raks.......tell your wife to give that tv a good smack. It gets rid of the green for a while and takes the focus off you.

Raks,

Or she could keep doing the usual: smack you so you can smack the tv. But ask her to just use her hand instead of that huge frying pan.

That's a pretty bad track record for Samsung. I have, and like my Samsung LCD but had to have the capacitors on the power board replaced. Another design flaw that should have never made its way to production. 10 volt caps on a 12 volt power rail and nobody noticed.

red gun alignment? if it gets too bad the system should turn it off. sonys do this exact thing and the adjust pots need alignment. most of these systems are similar. Not sure why red is coming to mind but.........

Ihad to do mine a couple times as it aged. Used this as a excuse to buy a led panel last year.
