The darker images have red dots in the lower 6 inch band of screen across the bottom. they are not always present, only with gray or darker images. Called Samsung and they're going to dispatch a local technician. Will see what happens..
Did you get this problem resoslved? I had the same issue a few months ago. I tech came by and took my TV to the shop, a few days later he said it was fixed as they needed to make some adjustments.....The TV has been fine up until a week or so ago and now the red dots have appeared again. Was wondering what happened to yours.

The Samsung Field Engineer came out to my house and adjusted the vscan voltage to get the red dots out of the Gray/Darker colors. This is a typical adjustments for some plasma's and was painless from my perspective. Most of the time for this fix was taking all the screws from the back panel off and on to get to the adjustment. This was all covered under warranty (including labor). Samsung has a great warranty for their plasma's..
Please post back your findings if possible. My Samsung S5053 is doing the same thing (a burst of red dots in the lower part of the screen) that eventually clears up, but then I end up with a rainbow of shimmering dots that outline images on the screen. My TV is mounted to the wall so I wonder if a service person would have a much harder time repairing it. I also don't want my unit hauled to a shop only to have the issue come back a week later.
my lg 42" plasma has the same problem. it is about 1 1/2 old. calling best buy for our service plan to look at. will let you know.
