SAMSUNG 56" DLP TV, MODEL NUMBER SP56K3HD WHITE SPOTS HAVE APPEARED ON MY SCREEN AND ARE DOUBLING UP EVERY DAY IT SEEMS WHATS THE CAUSE AND WHATS THE RESOLUTION

It is the chip that controls the millions of mirrors inside the tv. If they are black, they are stuck closed. If they are white, they are stuck open. I JUST had the same the same thing happen with mine. I bought it 3yr and 2 months ago and I had an extended warranty on it for 3 years. Well, needless to say, it was out of warranty and I was pissed. The store I bought it from suggested I call Samsung. Which, I did. They asked for the model number and told me that my model (hlt5675sx) was one of the ones that is covered becasue they had a problem with the chip. Within 2 weeks, my tv was fixed by a repairman who came to my house. It works perfectly, now and it didn't cost me a penny. Good luck.

Mine started with only one small white dot..... just a week ago, now I have a freakin constellation!!!! (at least 30) . I am gonna call samsung today to see if they will cover this even though it's out of warranty. I believe it to be the micro mirrors

BAD LIGHT ENGINE

above information is a bit extreme - most likely culprit is dirt/dust on reflecting mirror.....

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.

HDMI plug replace it.

If these spots are small, they are likely the visual effect of a failing DLP chip. When some of the tiny mirrored surfaces on the chip stop moving, this is the result. This is not something you can fix yourself. A Samsung authorized service center will charge $400-$500 to replace it for you.
