HELP, I TURNED OFF MY TV ONE NIGHT AND IT WAS FINE I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY AND THERE WAS A DARKEN AREA AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN THAT EXTENDED FROM ONE SIDE TO THE NEXT AND THEN THE DARK AREA DIPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, NOW THE PICTURE IMAGE IS DISTORTED, THERE ARE DUPLICATE IMAGES AND EACH IMAGE HAS A DIFFERENT COLOR, THE NUMBER THAT DISPLAYS TO SHOW WHAT CHANNEL THE TELEVISION IS ON, NOW HAS BEEN DUPLICATED. WHEN THE SET IS DISPLAYING AN IMAGE THE DARKENED AREA TAKES ON A YELLOWISH COLOR I DO BELIEVE. THE SOUND IS OK AND YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE IMAGE IT IS JUST REALLY DISTORTED WITH THE "DUPLICATE IMAGES" THAT IS THE ONLY WAY i KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT. ITS LIKE THE MAIN IMAGE HAS 1-2 HALOS OF ITS SELF THEREBY GIVING A BLURRED APPEARANCE, I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW SET "56 INCH SAMSUNG". PLEASE HELP THANKS IN ADVANCE
Not sure but you could have a bad color wheel i would suggest a service call from your local shop

I had an almost identical problem -- a very dark bar along one side. There was a tiny bit of image there, but it was like looking through a strip of very dark glass. I did not have duplicate images or funny colors. Samsung replaced the light engine under Best Buy's (their Magnolia subsidiary's, actually) extended warranty, and everything was perfect again.
The technician said that there is a felt-like lining in the light engine to prevent unwanted reflections from stray light, and that the adhesive that holds it comes loose allowing it to block the light from hitting the edge of the screen, resulting in the dark bar.

I am having the same problem with my samsung hl-s5687w 56 inch dlp tv. All of a sudden there is a dark area extending approximately 2 inches from the left of the screen extending top to bottom.The picture however is not distorted
TV is Samsung HCN4226WX/XAC
Exactly the same problem.
Tried to resolve by (1) turning TV on and off; (2) unplugging power and then reconnecting power; (3) perfecting image function tried.
