    Samsung UN55ES6500 edge lit video problem

    I have a Samsung UN55ES6500 that has some bight spots on the left side of the screen that show up only when the background is a light color. They disappear when the screen is black or a dark color. Is this a hardware problem like a bad edge lit driver or could this be software related?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Not software more likely those leds are ready to pop or the diffuser sheets behind the screen are deformed or peeling in that area.

      This will sometimes happen after you put the tv back together from replacing the led strips due to improperly aligned diffusers as mentioned above by mmartell. You may want to either tuff it out or take the set 100% apart and tape down the diffusers/realign. It is also possible that you could be getting some bad leds that are about to go out. Does this happen as well when you have your back-light setting set to lowest?

        Thanks for your reply. It is the same if I change the backlighting to zero but only shows up on a light colored background.
        The set is still covered under an extended warranty so I contacted their tech repair and they want to replace the panel saying that's what the problem is.
        I'm reluctant to have them do that since I don't believe that is the problem. The set has an excellent picture and don't want a panel that is not as good as the original.
        Also the set was never taken apart or moved from its current location to cause the diffusers to shift or change.

          Have them replace it, they use a brand new Lcd panel and backlight module. The Lcd panels in these sets are so shit and unreliable anyway so best have em do the whole lot before your warranty goes

              Mi TV 4 Pro-Samsung Panel LSC550FN20 - Video problem, backlight and Audio works fine.
              by SolarFlare
              Hi,

              My barely 3 year old TV has stopped displaying video, although the video output comes for a few seconds after turning ON which displays the manufacturers logo then shows the home screen (all this with some blue flicker) then the video goes blank and the screen is dark blue with the backlight on. The audio output works perfectly and the TV also takes in voice commands(smart TV).

              The TCON board has the following Chips -
              Samsung VTU63A0
              RT6939 - 2nos.

              and all these chips are getting real hot within a minute, I dont know if this is normal....

              Help on Video Problem on Dell Inspiron 7459
              by Spikeman
              Hi, I'll tell you the story of this PC.
              The PC was repaired because it had a shorted power supply. What happened was that the plastic covering the buffer battery positioned by the manufacturer on the capacitor melted, thus generating a short.
              After the repair, the PC worked, I installed Windows 11 and I may have had some problems with the video drivers, but after a bit of tinkering I think I solved them.
              However, the PC later presented the problem in the video shared very frequently.

              The problem also occurs at startup, in the bios and when using it as a monitor thanks...

              Samsung UN55JU650DF network/streaming problem
              by howardc64
              Fixed a 9 year old UN55JU650 by replacing backlight. Original backlight LED was still working after 27k! hours but terrible picture of course. Few LEDs were out, 5-6 lens fell off (bright white spots) and another few popped off with slightest force. Surviving LEDs were all slightly blue so picture has a blue tint.

              This TV runs older Tizen OS (updated to latest version, see pic) and have problems with network (wifi or ethernet) connection. The Tizen UI frequently switch to coax input source while changing content sources. . If no good signal (coax not connected, no prior antenna/cable...
