You will need a small philips head screw driver and a Digital Volt Meter for this.

Unplug your set and take the back off
Plug the set back in and turn the set on
Now with your meter find the test point on the power supply that says VS. If you cannot find it, you can measure it at the plug of the board.
Make the sure the voltage matches the sticker that is on the panel. It will say VS. If it does not match, find the VS adjustment pod and adjust the voltage to match the sticker. If the voltage already matches, it is safe to raise 10 to 15 volts. If the picture starts to clear up, you are going the right way, if it gets worse, you need to adjust the other way. If it doesn't change at all, then odds are you have a bad panel.

What have a red image in the middle of our plasma tv what could it be and can we get rid of it
Hello nacoleray,
Does it look like a burned in image? If so and if you have a brand new samsung tv, it should a scroll bar that cleans out the screen. Go through the settings and this should fix it. If it is last years model or older you may not have this feature. Go to a channel that is snowy, scrambled picture and leave it on for couple of hours. This should some what make it better. If it is not a burned in image it could mean that you have dead pixels. Unfortunately this is not something you can just fix. I suggest contacting your manufacture. I hope this helps, if not give me a feedback. Good luck.

I have red dots or pixels if u will spreading all over my 50 plasma its really bad on pure black screen but it does show up when it goes to color too they come and go is it a graphics card problem and is...
It depends on the size,location and how many dead pixels. If remember less that 5 they won't do nothing about them. Call the warranty people and find out. they will for the location, size of pixel and quantities. Good luck to you.
