Re: Samsung UN55ES6500 edge lit video problem

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...

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....

Re: Samsung UN55ES6500 - video problems, need info

I have the same model Samsung and have some bright spots showing up on the left side of the screen only when the picture background is a light color.
Is this a sign of a bad panel or is the edge lighting going bad? I am new to this forum and cannot post my own thread yet or post a picture of the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
