DLP 61" Neon green problem.

**mx21** · **09-12-09, 10:06 PM**

There is a problem with my tv, there is a neon green color that is in-place of shadows/ dark colors. It doesn't happen all the time, but most. I don't have a clue where to start but I do know that the bulb has been recently replaced.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Start by posting the exact model number and looking at the threads that have info for your model. Note that it is easier to find useful information when the model number is in the thread title.

Seems like it is a common ailment. Here in Afghanistan where the MWR area is there are 4 tv's all of different brands but all exhibiting the same problem like you describe.

It may be the connections on the DNIE chip, but you really should state the model number.

Sorry its a Samsung HLP6163WX/XAA

Can you post an image? If multiple sets of different brands have a similar problem, there is a good possibility that something else is going on. What are the signal conditions, input types, sources, etc? Are the sets internal menus affected?

We have cable so the signal should be good. All of the sources (cable, hdmi dvd, wii) are affected by it. The menus on the tv and on the cable aren't ever affected by it. Here are a couple pictures. I also just noticed on some of the football players white jerseys there was some neon pink. That is the only time I have seen the pink, but the green happens off and on.

Several possibilities on this one. Is it affected by time or temperature?

**mx21** · **09-14-09, 07:21 PM**

No it is not affected by those. It just happens randomly.

**lcaillo** · **09-14-09, 07:51 PM**

Are there any other symptoms? Does it get worse gradually? True random occurrence is rare and very difficult to troubleshoot. Have you tried heating/cooling?

What do you mean by heating and cooling?

**lcaillo** · **09-15-09, 09:01 PM**

We use heat guns and freeze spray, or insulators such as blankets or plastic wrap and fans to increase and decrease temperature in various areas to isolate thermally affected, or effected, problems.

So its been over a month, but.... it seems the tv seems to work fine for the first 10 min. then after that it does the green thing and every now and then goes back to normal for a moment.

Did you try to isolate the problem?
