Testing the Picture
Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test Try Now
| The Problem | Try this! |
| Flickering and Dimming | If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable some of the energy efficiency features. Disable Energy Saving (System > Eco Solution > Energy Saving) or Eco Sensor (System > Eco Solution > Eco Sensor). |
| Component Connections/Screen Colour |
If the colour on your Samsung television screen is not correct or the black and white colours are off, run Picture Test (Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test). If the test results indicate that the problem is not caused by the TV, do the following:
|
| Screen Brightness |
If the colours on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, try adjusting the following settings first.
|
| Motion Plus/Blur | If you notice ghosting or blurring on the screen, use the Motion Plus option (Picture > Picture Options > Motion Plus) to resolve the issue. |
| Unwanted Powering Off | If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, try disabling some of the TV's energy efficiency features. See if Sleep Timer (System > Time > Sleep Timer) has been enabled. The Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV off after a specified period of time. If the Sleep Timer has not been enabled, see if No Signal Power Off (System > Eco Solution > No Signal Power Off) or Auto Power Off (System > Eco Solution > Auto Power Off) has been enabled and disable them. |
| Problems Powering On |
When the TV is turned on, the remote control receiver flashes 5 times before the screen turns on. If you are having problems powering on your Samsung television, there are a number of things to check before calling the service department. Confirm that the TV's power cord is connected correctly at both ends and that the remote control is operating normally. Make sure that the antenna cable or cable TV cable is firmly connected. If you have a cable/satellite box confirm that it is plugged in and turned on. |
| Unable to find a Channel | Launch Setup (System > Setup) or Auto Tuning (Broadcasting > Auto Tuning). If your TV is not connected to a cable box or satellite box, run Setup (System > Setup) or Auto Tuning (Broadcasting > Auto Tuning). |
| The TV image does not look as good as it did in the store. |
Store displays are all tuned to digital, HD (high definition) channels. If you have an analogue cable/set top box, upgrade to a digital set top box. Use HDMI or Component cables to deliver HD (high definition) picture quality. Many HD channels are upscaled from SD (Standard Definition) content. Look for a channel that is broadcasting true HD content.
Adjust the cable/satellite box's video output resolution to 1080i or 720p |
| The picture is distorted. |
The compression of video content may cause picture distortions, especially in fast moving pictures from sports programmes and action movies. A weak or bad quality signal can cause picture distortions. This is not an issue with the TV. Mobile phones used close to the TV (within 1 m) may cause noise in analogue and digital channels. |
| The colour is wrong or missing | If you’re using a Component connection, make sure that the Component cables are connected to the correct jacks. Incorrect or loose connections may cause colour problems or a blank screen. |
| The colour is poor or the picture is not bright enough. | Go to the Picture menu and then adjust the Picture Mode, Brightness, Sharpness, and Colour settings. See if Energy Saving (System > Eco Sensor > Energy Saving) has been enabled. Try resetting the picture. (Picture > Reset Picture) |
| There is a dotted line on the edge of the screen. | If the Picture Size has been set to Screen Fit, change the setting to 16:9. Change the cable/satellite box resolution. |
| The picture is black and white. | Make sure to properly connect any external device to the TV properly. |
| When changing channels, the picture freezes or is distorted or delayed. |
If the TV is connected to a cable box, try to reset the box. (Disconnect and then reconnect the AC cord and wait until the cable box reboots. It may take up to 20 minutes.) Set the output resolution of the cable box to 1080i or 720p. |
Testing the Sound
Support > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test Try Now
Before you review the list of problems and solutions below, make sure that the Speaker Select menu item is set to TV Speaker, and then listen to the speakers again. If the TV still does not play audio, run the Sound Test. The Sound Test uses a built-in melody to check for sound problems. If the TV does not play sound during the Sound Test, or the sound is distorted, there may be a problem with the TV. Contact Samsung’s Call Centre for assistance. If the TV plays the Sound Test melody without distortion, there may be a problem with an external device. Please check the connections. If the problem persists, refer to the external device’s user manual.
| The Problem | Try this! |
| There is no sound or the sound is too low at maximum volume. | Check the volume control of the device (cable/satellite box, DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) connected to your TV. |
| The picture is good but there is no sound. |
Set Sound > Speaker Settings > TV Sound Output to TV Speaker. If you are using an external device, check the device’s audio output option. (For example, you may need to change your cable box’s audio option to HDMI if the box connected to your TV is using an HDMI cable.) To listen to the computer sound, connect the external speaker to the computer’s audio output connector. Reboot the connected device by disconnecting and then reconnecting the device’ s power cable. |
| The speakers are making an odd sound. |
Make sure that the audio cable is connected to the correct audio output connector on the external device. For antenna or cable connections, check the signal information. A low signal level may cause sound distortions. Run Sound Test (Support > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test). |
Testing 3D Picture Quality
Availability depends on the specific model.
Support > Self Diagnosis > 3D Picture Test
Put on the 3D glasses, navigate to Support > Self Diagnosis and select 3D Picture Test. The 3D Picture Test displays a high definition picture to examine the 3D screen for flaws or faults. If the test fails to identify a problem, there may be a problem with an external device or the signal strength.
| The Problem | Try this! |
| The 3D glasses are not working correctly |
Make sure the glasses are powered on. The 3D feature may not work properly if there is another 3D product or an electronic device running nearby. If there is a problem, keep other electronic devices as far away as possible from the 3D Active Glasses. |
| I can't see 3D images clearly. |
The ideal viewing distance is three times or more the height of the screen. We also recommend watching 3D content with your eyes level with the screen. |
| The batteries in the 3D glasses are flat. | Turn off the 3D glasses when they are not in use. If you leave the 3D glasses on, the battery lifespan is shortened. |

| The TV is not receiving all channels |
If your TV is not connected to a cable box or satellite box:
|
| There are no captions with digital channels. | Go to Subtitle (System > Accessibility > Subtitle) and change the Subtitle Mode. Some channels may not have caption data. |
| The picture is distorted. |
The compression of the video content may cause picture distortions. This is especially true with fast moving pictures from sports programmes and action movies. A weak signal can cause picture distortions. This is not a problem with the TV. |
| The Problem | Try this! |
| The "Mode Not Supported" message appears. | Set your PC’s output resolution so it matches a resolution supported by the TV. |
| The video is OK but there is no audio. |
If you are using an HDMI connection, check the audio output setting on your PC. If you are using a DVI to HDMI cable, a separate audio cable is required. |

| The TV is hot. | Watching TV for an extended period of time causes the panel to generate heat. The heat from the panel is dissipated through internal vents running along the top of the TV. The bottom, however, may feel hot to the touch after extended use. Children watching TV need constant adult supervision to prevent them from touching the TV. This heat, however, is not a defect and does not affect the TV's functionality. |
| The picture won’t display in full screen |
HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying upscaled SD (4:3) content. Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen when you watch movies that have aspect ratios different from your TV. Adjust the picture size options on your external device or set the TV to full screen. |
| The "Mode Not Supported" message appears | The output resolution of the attached device is not supported by the TV. Check the supported resolutions of the TV and adjust the external device’s output resolution accordingly. |
| The Subtitle item in the TV menu is grayed out. | You cannot select the Subtitle menu if you have selected a source connected to the TV via HDMI or Component connections. To view subtitle, turn on the external device's subtitle function. |
| The TV smells of plastic | This smell is normal and will dissipate over time. |
| The Signal Information option under Self Diagnosis isn't activated. | Verify that the current channel is a digital channel. The Signal Information is only available for digital channels. |
| The TV is tilted to the side. | Remove the base stand from the TV and reassemble it. |
| The Broadcasting option has been deactivated. |
Broadcasting is only available when the Source is set to TV. The Broadcasting menu cannot be accessed while watching TV using a cable box or satellite receiver. Certain Broadcasting menus cannot be accessed while recording or while the TimeShift operation is in progress. |
| The settings are lost after 30 minutes or every time the TV is turned off. |
If the Use Mode is set to Store Demo, the TV's audio and video settings are automatically reset every 30 minutes. Change the Use Mode (Support > Use Mode) to Home Use. |
| There is an intermittent loss of audio or video. |
Check the cable connections and reconnect them. Loss of audio or video can be caused by using overly rigid or thick cables. Make sure the cables are flexible enough for long term use. If you are mounting the TV to a wall, we recommend using cables with 90-degree connectors. |
| There are small particles on the TV's bezel. | This is part of the product’s design and is not a defect |
| The PIP menu is not available. | PIP functionality is only available when you are using an HDMI or Component source. |
| A POP (TV’s internal banner ad) appears on the screen | Change the Use Mode (Support > Use Mode) to Home Use. |
| The TV is making a popping noise. | The expansion and contraction of the TV's outer casing may cause a popping noise. This does not indicate a product malfunction. The TV is safe to use. |
| The TV is making a humming noise. |
Your TV utilizes high-speed switching circuits and high levels of electrical current. Depending on the TV's brightness level, the TV may seem slightly noisier than a conventional TV. Your TV has undergone strict quality control procedures that meet our demanding performance and reliability requirements. Some noise coming from the TV is considered normal and is not an acceptable cause for an exchange or refund. |
