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.

go nto the main setting and clear everything and reset it you will have to start from new but the brightness will improve

Yes! but first you must scan them into the computer and open them in a photo editor application like Photoshop. There you can do a whole world of editing including lightening your fotos.

Good luck and god bless!

Check your ISO setting...should be between 100 to 400 for normal pictures.Did you change your exposure compensation setting to something other than "0"? Is the aperture ring on the lens set to the "A" position?

Look in the manual or on the supplied software for settings to do with brightness.

You can make several adjustments to improve your images such as lightening dark areas, changing the exposure, sharpening blurred edges, and changing the brightness and contrast.

• Exposure adjusts the overall intensity of light in an image.
• Adaptive Lighting improves only the dark areas in an image without affecting the bright areas.
• Brightness adjusts the amount of light in colors ranging from light to dark.
• Contrast adjusts the difference in brightness between light and dark areas of an image.
• Sharpness helps define edges and the smoothness of texture in an image. Use this tool to make a blurred image appear more focused.

Adjusting the image Follow the steps below to make adjustments:

1. Click the View tab and select the image you want to edit by either clicking the image, or by clicking the small box at the bottom left corner of the image. Figure 1: Select the image
2. Click the Edit tab and then click the Advanced tab.
3. On the Advanced tools tab, click Adjust Image .
4. Select an adjustment from the list on the left. Figure 2: Adjusting the brightness
   • The Exposure adjustment is automatically applied when the Adjust Image tool opens. Eight variations of the image are displayed on the left. The current image is displayed in the center. Each image represents a different level of adjustment. When you move the pointer over any of the images on the left, a large version of the image is displayed. Use Preferences to turn this large image preview on or off and to set the timing for the display.
   • If you want to use a different adjustment tool, select Adaptive Lighting , Brightness , Contrast , or Sharpness from the list.
5. Select one of the images on the left.
6. Do one of the following:
   • Click Accept to accept all changes and exit from the Color Toolkit.
   • Click Cancel to discard all changes and exit from the Color Toolkit.
7. If you have finished modifying the image, do one of the following to save your changes:
   • Click Save to overwrite the original image.
   • Click Save As to save the modified image with a different name.

Please try rephrasing this question. Do you want dark photos to become lighter, or light photos to become darker using photoshop? You are not clear.

Many factors can affect the image quality of your pictures. If you are experiencing blurry images, please try adjusting the focus ring located around the lens. This will allow you to focus the camera image on objects at different distances. Also, make sure there is good lighting. Improving the lighting conditions can improve the image quality considerably.
Connection Issues:
If the image quality is poor while transmitting video over the Internet using video enabled programs such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo! or AOL Instant Messenger, your connection speed to the Internet directly affects the image quality of the transmitted video. Corporate LAN, DSL/cable modem connections will result in the best image quality experience, while dial-up connections may result in choppy and overall poor quality because of the slower connection speed. Even broadband connections such as DSL/cable modem may experience choppy video at times because of Internet traffic or slow upload speeds. If the image appears clearly in the camera software, most likely your Internet connection may be responsible for the poor image quality in your video program.
Changing Display Adapter Settings:
If you are still experiencing a distorted, fuzzy or grainy image, you may need to change the settings for your display adapter. For optimal image quality, please make sure the video display adapter is set to display at least 16-bit high color or higher. To change the color palette please perform the following steps:

1. Click on "Start," "Settings," and "Control Panel."
2. Double-click on the Display icon.
3. Click on the tab labeled Settings.
4. In the dialog box labeled Color Palette, verify the video mode is set to 16-bit (high color) or 24-bit (true color).
5. Also, check with the manufacturer of the video card for updated video drivers.

Low Light Boost:
If you cannot do anything to improve the lighting situation, some Logitech video cameras have an option for "Low Light Boost." If there is an option for "Low Light Boost," try enabling the "Low Light Boost" in the QuickCam software. To do this:

1. Open the QuickCam software.
2. At the bottom right hand corner of the camera image box, click on the arrow next to the QuickCam icon.
3. Choose "Advanced Camera Settings".
4. Under the Image Enhancement box, place a check mark in the "Low Light Boost" option.
5. If that does not improve the image quality, try adjusting the other image settings, such as contrast, saturation brightness, gain and white balance.
6. Click OK when your are done.

Use a Goof image editing software such as Picasa which is free to brighten the image.

I recommend the Qimage software. Although it is really designed to help print images, it also has excellent computer screen viewing of images, as well as some image editing capabilites, and will show the F-stop and aperture, and other camera setting values for each picture just by holding the mouse pointer over the thumbnail image. The $30 I spent for this software several years ago (all updates are free) is the best money I have spent on photo software. Mike Chaney (the guy who wrote and updates the software) is always improving it and is responsive to user comments and suggestions.
