The picture on the screen fades into black after a few minutes of being on. Still has sound. Turning off/on does the same thing.

Sounds serious not aware of anything like that happening. Had a Visio that did that and trashed it

Your set may still be under warranty. Try reaching out to the Samsung customer service center to see if they can troubleshoot your issue or dispatch a repair person. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

I didn't have that particular problem. However, I did return the TV because when the TV was on there appeared to be a tear (the way a torn piece of paper looks) across the top of it. I bought a 60 inch Samsung plasma and I Love It!

Takes about a second to switch sources. picture goes out then comes back. No blur or fade really.

have you tried using a higher quality HDMI cable? Also, sometimes those cables can have small breaks in them that are not visable from the outside. And it will cause the source signal to drop.. are you getting a black/blank screen?? Or an error message??

Mine turns off after the same period. Not sure it actually goes "dead" because the TV signal still seems to be amplified, but the display powers down.

The screen is blank when powered off. What you are seeing is stenciled on the screen, not a digital display.

Have you already tried adjusting the GAMMA setting? Or turning off the BLACK TONE setting?Both can be found after hitting MENU/PICTURE/ADVANCE SETTINGS

The picture and brightess seem excellent to me. In a dark room when I turn it on it seems really bright for a few seconds .??Is this backlight bleedthrough? Black seems very black. The built in speakers are not adequate and if you do any music or sound for that matter, use auxiliary speakers for sure.

I have a 50 inch Sony - The picture was getting darker as time went by... I told my husband.. I think it's the bulb.. he didn't believe me... then the picture went completely... guess what... it was the bulb... and the tv has been working fine since. Hope this helps.

I am not sure what would be causing this to happen. Should be a plug and play device. Wondering if you can go into TV menu and shift screen? Brian

Yes. That said, you have multiple LCD panal choices...1) black screen that comes alive after you've taken the shot...only live for a few seconds2) always on with no extra data...just the picture last taken3) always on with specific data, a few different options, and the last picture takenI just did this to make sure of my answer.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

If you mean when you play video in a window and the entire screen except for the video fades to grayscale, yes I mine does that. There is an option in the control menu for "Detect Video" that I think is what controls that. Try turning that off.

I am utilizing the image burn in protection, which is set to "on" as the default setting anyway for this tv. I haven't seen any burn in issues even though i have watched movies close to 2 hrs long with the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

Video is constant when parent unit is plugged in to outlet only. When operating on battery, after a few minutes the video turns off, and you have to push a button to turn on the video -- video on my unit does not come on with noise/sound.

I don't know if this is a question, but if there is no video input it will turn itself off after a timeout period. I've never had it turn on by itself though.

Our DVD player is now 7 months old and it too has the problem where the screen is black. It still plays through the line out to a TV but nothing is on the screen. We don't know how this happened as it is used at gently at home. I've tried playing with the screen (opening and closing and a bit of swiveling) and it does come back but only for a short time. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

We have issues with it working all the time too. We'll be watching something and all of a sudden the screen goes black. We unplug everything and reconnect everything and it usually works than. Sometimes we end up having to do this multi times and just end up trying another time. Very frustrating!
