This may sound redundant but, did you check out the onscreen munu, and go to " troubleshooting " ? If that doesn't help call the manufacturer of the TV.

Does your TV have an automatic darken ,if you go to settings I'm sure you can turn that off.
is the tv dark at night with no lights on in the Room or is it in the daytime. when lights are on there is a circuit on most new tv's to automatically darken the picture if it's bright in the room and brighten the picture if it is bright in the room.

If the lamp has been replaced I would think the Lamp ballast would be most likliest followed by the color wheel and then the Digital board. You can get any part needed for your model at www.tvrepairworld.com just leave them a email they respond quickly.

SOURCE: Samsung dlp hls6186w, picture has darkened.

The lamp is the only thing that will cause the picture to go darker. According to the model you have the lamp part number is BP96-01472A. The noise you hear could possibly be the color wheel itself. The way to tell is when you turn off the TV the lamp stays on for about 10 seconds longer. Once the lamp shuts off if that noise goes away then it is a bad color wheel. Any noises past that would be a fan. Please take a moment to rate my answer. Thanks...

TV picture goes out after 10 minutes of viewing with popping sound

It can be a couple things. Something bad on the power board. Or the vertical output circuit. How long ago did you purchase the television. Your best course of action is to have it serviced.
If you need any information or other assistance let me know.
Thanks,

TV Picture Freezes and Turns Off; Cannot Use Remote

My shop had this problem yesterday. We had to change the DMD to correct it. One of the data lines was being drawn down intermitently. This doesn't eliminate the digital PCB, but, we have seen the DMD do this more than a digital. You should have an authorized shop do the repair. Contact Samsung at 1-800-SAMSUNG or contact by email: http://samsung.com/ContactUs/ContactUs.htm Hope this helps.
