Samsung lcd tv with double image on screen

A 5" wide dark band in the middle of a Samsung Smart Series 7 TV screen could be caused by several issues. Here are a few potential causes and solutions:

1. Faulty LCD Panel: If the LCD panel is damaged, it may cause a dark band in the middle of the screen. Unfortunately, a damaged LCD panel usually requires a professional repair or replacement, which can be expensive.
2. Loose or Damaged Connection: A loose or damaged connection between the TV's internal components could cause a dark band on the screen. Check all of the cables and connections between the TV and any external devices to ensure they are properly connected and undamaged.
3. Picture Settings: The dark band could be caused by the TV's picture settings. Try adjusting the picture settings to see if it improves the image. For example, you could try adjusting the brightness, contrast, or sharpness.
4. Software Update: A software issue could cause a dark band on the screen. Check if there is a software update available for your TV and install it if necessary.
5. Magnetic Interference: If there is a strong magnetic field near the TV, it could cause a dark band on the screen. Try moving any magnets or magnetic devices away from the TV to see if it improves the image.

If none of these solutions work, it may be best to contact a professional TV repair technician who can diagnose and fix the issue. They can ensure that the repair is done correctly and safely, and can help prevent further damage to the TV.

ok you have defective convergence crrection circuit! or maybe the RF Box is defective! can you describe the color of the ghost?

 

Sounds like you pulled the TV apart, good luck. Hope you earthed yourself. You could try a replacement t-con board. if that was the problem. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/how-to-replace-faulty-tcon-board.html

Does the screen have a double image? or is one side of the screen darker and has a delay? If so, your LCD panel is failing, common problem with older Samsung LCD's. I have the same model in my dining room that had a double image, fixed it by taking the panel apart and applying thermal pads on top of the panel tabs. The set works like a champ to this day!!!

Two possibilities are there. The first one is, with loose LVDS cable, that connects the T'Con board to display panel. The second is the fault with its main digital processor board.

That sounds like a defective LCD panel tab, Sony's and Samsungs are notorious for this problem. Does the problem go away when the set warms up or when you tap the screen?

I would just replace the TV, a new VIZIO is the better choice than SAMSUNG.

This may be due to a faulty Timing Control board (TCON board). I had a similar problem with my Samsung LCD TV picture being split vertically down the middle. The image on both halves appeared fuzzy and in reverse (mirror) including the menus. I replaced the TCON board and the problem was resolved.

I am having the same problem with my 50v500 as well. Please let me know if you find a solution.

you probably will need to reload the firmware check with maker for any upgraded firmware
just as a computer has a cmos program that can have problems
so does a tv or Lcd monitor with a tuner card and speakers
reload the newest firmware . the resolution scaler is overlaping
unless the two images are different colors
