My 61" HLN617W had exactly the same problem. Took it to a Samsung authorized repair shop that replaced the digital board. The set worked for about 5 days before doing the exact same thing again. I was considering replacing the DMD board as well but sounds like that hasn't worked in your case. I've d...

Just wanted to follow up and let you know how this all turned out. Service tech installed another new digital card. Red color problem still existed. After several minutes of investigation, tech accessed the service menus and began checking various data settings. He then made some changes to several ...

Good question. I hadn't checked that. I'm using Component 2 Input (Y, Pr, Pb) for DVD and HD Cable box input. I'm using S-Video Input for a VCR. S-Video input looks fine. Component 2 has the red problem. When checking things a few days I think I also tried Component 3 Input (Y, Pr, Pb) and it had th...
