Samsung HL-55086W. One white spot Monday. Now

There seems to be an issue with your DMD board, which is the on in charge of the pixelation. What you can do to confirm if it's indeed the DMD board, is the following: GO to the menu on the TV and if the dots show in the menu, it's your DMD board, but if they don't the issue might be with one of your Video Boards.

Hello! Those white spots are most probably to be the DMD board, I'm not sure Samsung will fix it for free, you will need to call them and ask. The board is not that expensive. on the other hand, the installation will need to be done by a technician since it's a board and you want to be very careful with the boards that are around it.

Hi,sounds like It could be the DMD board.This is how the DMD board works: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/dlp1.htm Basically when that Dmd chips starts to fail that's what you'll get color discoloration vertical lines, white spots.You will need to replace the dmd only you can find it on ebay,samsung,or shopjimmy.com God bless you!

If the white spots are appearing in different spots or "Moving" it is the DMD board beginning to fail. Samsung DLPs seem to have a lot of DMD board failures. I would expect it to completely fail in the next couple months.

If there are only a couple small white spots that never go away it could be a mirror that is seized on the chip, but it's far more likely that the DMD board is going bad.

the problem is in the DMD Board is it something like this?

ok well it seems to be an issue either with yoru DMD board or your Digital Video board, go to the menu and if those white spots are also showed on the menu, the issue is with your DMD board, but if they're not showing, the issue would be with your Digital Video board

My Samsung LCD has white spots on the screen. The tiny spots seem to be increasing in numbers. I am outside my warranty. Is this going to cost a lot. It is a 43in screen.

You seem to have an issue either with the video board or the dmd board, do the next thing, with the Tv on go to your service menu, is the white spots are still there, it's most probable that your dmd board is failing, if not, the issue is with your video board.

Actually I need you to do this... while the tv is on, go to the service menu, if the menu also has those twinkleish spots.. it's most probable to be your dmd board, if not, it's probable to be your digital video board

What causes the DMD board to go out?
No Picture, but have sound
Had a new lamp put in this morning
