Has the lamp ever been replaced? As lamps age they get darker screens. First though check to make sure the TV settings aren't accidentally on a dark setting. Go into the menu and see if increasing the brightness helps.Different picture modes like movie, games, vivid have different brightness settings vivid usually the brightest.

Samsung Smart TV has a very dim picture. Is a LED driver board the proper fix?

Depends on the model. Have you checked the backlight, (LED in this set perhaps).

I have a 55in Samsung Dlp the color looks good but a little dark can't see picture if the movie is dark

You might need a new bulb, the bulbs get dim as there life diminishes. Replace the bulb to get a bright picture. Do not use cheap bulbs, an OEM bulb for that tv should be $60+. . Cheap clone bulbs will work but will fail a lot sooner

My Samsung DLP rear-projection TV has had a very dim picture for months. We have replaced the lamp once already.

How long ago was lamp replaced, also you can try cleaning dust off the lamp. Dust builds up on it and causes pre mature failure. Also moving the TV around can cause the bulb to fail after extended use. The bulb are only as good as any other regular bulb. They start taking longer to warm up then dont get as bright then fail totally. Some Tv's wont allow itself to turn on in some of those states.

Tv gets bright and then get dim and dose this the entire time tv is on

If you watch a DVD, does the picture also flash? If not, it might be just the TV signal. Are you using a cable/satellite receiver? If so, check it's connections. If anything viewed on the TV, using different inputs and a different cable/wire, is flashing, it is a problem with the light engine or color wheel, if the TV is DLP.
