Has anyone else had issues with green dots in their picture? I've had my TV over a year now and the green dots are getting worse.

I have not, this sounds like something worth getting looked at if it's getting worse, you may habe a defective unit.

I have had my system for a year come the end of September. I use it for CaTV (1080P), Home Theater (1080 again), BluRay, DVD and several smart TV functions like Netflix and Amazon prime video, plus screen sharing from Android over WiFi. In other words it is getting a good workout. I do no have green dots, nor dots of any kind. What I would check first is the cabling. A lot of times, video noise (think VGA or SVGA here as an example) can be caused by cables that have become kinked or severely twisted, are picking up noise from adjacent power sources, or by a connector that may have damaged the HDMI receptacle. Even if you have to run a new cable over the floor to see if that is the problem (don't pull it into the same space as the existing cable just yet) between the video source and the TV. Before doing that, try Netflix or something that doesn't use the cables in question. If that is OK, look to your cables for the problem... I really hope that helps!

Depending on what model Sony you have it may be your television . Some models have a known issue and there is a class action suit against Sony . I had the problem you are describing some years ago . it was fixed under warranty. Sony also extended the warranty of the affected models . Do a search of your model number and see what comes up .

I also have the KDL-52W4100.It has some clouding. It is not that severe, but I still find it very annoying. I purposely kept the box, and I may return the TV to amazon if Sony can't offer a fix.I spoke to Sony and they told me the reset the TV, which I am going to try, but obviously I don't expect that to change anything.

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

I think we're experiencing image burn-in on our 2 1/2-year-old 1080p LCD TV. When an HD show is on, there are now visible vertical lines marking where the sidebars of standard definition programs would be, almost as if a standard size screen were placed over the widescreen. There's also some shadowing in the top half of the standard screen area. This is most noticeable when the picture background is light colored. We had no idea this would happen. We were considering buying the Samsung model you've got, but we spend more than 5% of our TV time watching standard definition programs, and many of our DVD/Bluray movies have black bars on top and bottom. Maybe we'll just get by with our current set until the image burn-in problem is eliminated.

I have had my TV for 1 month now and have not noticed any of this. I would ask a Panasonic expert, but I can tell you that this is the BEST Plasma on the plant today and the colors are much better than any LED TV you could have purchased.

I do not have that problem, and have 3 Samsung TV's in house. I would suggest calling Samsung direct, or store from whom you purchased.

Yes- the same thing just happened to us. We purchased this item two months ago and this morning found that the screen had a green scratchy tint. By the evening, we could view nothing. We've tried everything: changing outlets, resetting the base unit, changing out the batteries, turning off the wi-fi in the home in case of interference. Nothing worked! From what we can tell, it's a base unit issue, as the handheld is still capable of pulling up color without issue on the startup screen. Summer better be willing to make this right...For the $200 we paid, it's not worth it...

You have a part going out on it, I had the exact same problem and it was more to get it fixed than it was to buy a new tv. I don't remember what the part was but it was expensive. Mine started doing that right after the warranty ended, and they won't fix it for free. Good luck with it. And I would stay away from their products in the future

I actually found this on another forum post and it makes me feel much better that at least samsung is recognizing the problem to some extent. I really hope this means they do have a fix for it otherwise why would they post pictures of the problem and say your TV needs service right?http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view.jsp?isARS=Y&SITE;_ID=1&AT;_ID=137885&ARS;_ID=8957980Just waiting to hear from someone that their TV was actually fixed. Thanks again,

Did you ever have any luck the green line issue? I have the exact same issue with the Soundbar I just purchased. At 1080i it looks fine, but at 1080p to my 1080p Toshiba 42" Regza I get green lines.

My TV screen has colorful strips showing on the right side. I was told it is cheaper to buy another TV than to fix it. My TV was bought in mid 2005 and we haven't watched it that much.

I just described the problem... Unfortunately, once they touched the TV, it started having random "dead" pixel issues, so I returned it to Amazon and purchased at a local retailer...

Ours turns green and don't know what it is. It was green for three weeks and just yesterday came back in full color. I contacted Samsung after trying everything on my own and they said "it must be some internal parts" and offered to set me up with a repair man. I am still undecided if I am going to try to invest a couple hundred dollars in a repair or get a new TV. This is our third major problem with this TV, so I will probably purchase a different brand TV.

I think two different issues. I had white spots first then my tv picture started getting dark. I ended changing bulb first but still had white spots. I changed chip and my tv works great now. Hope it helps you.

I got the same issue (black dot at the top right corner). I returned it and got the damn problem again, but this time it is at the bottom right corner. Grrrrr...

yeah sounds like a dead pixel. problem is if it's just 1 you're SOL. I had this issue with my sony lcd and Customer Support said that they'll warranty it for 15 or more dead pixels. Luckily my friend run a PC Richard so I exchanged it. If you look close and its the shape of a rectangle on a grid then it's a dead pixel.
