There is a problem with the picture

Testing the Picture

MENU > Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test

Before you review the list of problems and solutions below, use Picture Test to determine if the problem is caused by the TV. The Picture Test displays a high definition picture you can examine for flaws or faults. If the test picture does not appear or there is noise or distortion, the TV may have a problem. Contact Samsung’s Call Center for assistance. If the test picture is displayed properly, there may be a problem with an external device. Please check the connections. If the problem persists, check the signal strength or refer to the external device’s user manual.

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 Color

If the color on your Samsung television screen is not correct or the black and white colors are off, run Picture Test (Support > SelfDiagnosis > Picture Test). If the test results indicate that the problem is not caused by the TV, do the following:

  • Confirm that the TV's video input connectors are connected to the correct external device video output connectors.
  • Check the other connections as well. If the TV is connected to an external device via a component cable, confirm that the Pb, Pr, and Yjacks are plugged into their proper connectors.

Screen Brightness

If the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, try adjusting the following settings first.

  • Go to the Picture menu and adjust the Back light/Cell Light (available on different models) Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, and Tint (G/R) settings.

Ghosting, Blurring, or Juddering

If you notice ghosting or blurring on the screen, use the LED Clear Motion option (Picture > Picture Options > LED Clear Motion) 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 Timerhas 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 turnedon.

Unable to find a Channel

If your TV is not connected to a cable box or satellite box, run Setup (System > Setup) or Auto Program (Broadcasting > Auto Program).

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 analog 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.

  • Cable/Satellite Subscribers: Try HD channels from the channel lineup.
  • Air/Cable Antenna Connection: Try HD channels after running the Auto Program function.

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 programs 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 3.2 ft) may cause noise in analog and digital channels.

The color 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 color problems or a blank screen.

The color is poor or the picture is not bright enough.

Go to the Picture menu and then adjust the Picture Mode, Brightness, Sharpness, and Color settings.

MENU > Support > Self Diagnosis > Sound Test

Before you review the list of problems and solutions below, make sure that the TV Sound Output 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 Center 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.

Other Issues

The Problem Try this!

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 up scaled 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 TV's supported resolutions and adjust the external device’s output resolution accordingly.

The Captions item in the TV menu is grayed out.

You cannot select the Caption menu if you have selected a source connected to the TV via HDMI or Component. To view captions, turn on the external device's caption 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 you watch TV using a cable box or satellite receiver.

The settings are lost after 5 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 5 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 viewing video from an HDMI or Component source on the main screen.

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.
