White spots are just emerging on my 50 inch Samsung DLP TV everyday. It started with one two days ago and now there are almost 30, I gueww in two weeks the sreen would be covered.
Help
This Is outrageous !!!! Same for my SAMSUNG DLP , I have a 46 inch, it started with one small white spot. It hasn't even been a week and there's at least 20 !! I emailed SAMSUNG and of course didn't get a response. My TV is about three years old.. I agree with boycotting SAMSUNG ! They are very crappy and should be ashamed to sell a product like this, and I will be sure to keep spreading the word NOT TO BUY SAMSUNG !
About a week ago we saw 2 small white dots in lower rt. area of screen, then 2 days later saw a 3rd white dot just left and up from first 2 about 4 inches up and 6 inches left, so I took off the rectantgled cover and the square air duct then pulled out the bulb assembly. I cleaned the bulb, the lenses, and the screen also the large mirror, mysteriously 1 white dot was gone the next day the dot was back but this time it had an F/////ng buddy, a 4th white dot Now we are getting worried, we paid $1200.00 for TV 2 years ago. Can someone help with this? Or are we doomed by SAMSUNG?
If your Mitsubishi TV has white spots in the picture , you can call Mitsubishi @ 1-800-332-2119 and request a free DLP Chip to fix the problem. They will send the New DLP Chip at no charge to a TV Tech in your area to install it for $200 flat rate. That is about a $250 savings if you had to pay for the chip . Call them with your TV's Model number and serial number and let them know when and where you bought the TV.
It saved me some hard earned money and now my TV is like New !

Be sure to read the entire post before acting to avoid being charged for the service.
I also have a Samsung DLP rear peojection tv. Model HL-T5676S. Started with a few whitw dots which spread. Thank God for this site. Armed with all the info, I chatted with the online tech on the Simamsung website. He put in a repair ticket that night, theu called me the next day and set up an appt for the following day, and even called and came half hour earlier than the scheduled time window. with the advanced warning that I would have to pay foe the trip out and receive a repair estimate if it was not the whote dot syndrome, they came out, took a picture od the screen, replaced the DMD chip, and were out in 45 minutes. Replaced for FREE. Thank you Samaung. Good luck others.

Sounds like the light tunnel is having a problem which is part of the light engine assemble. It possible could also be your color wheel having dust on it.

Worked a charm on my 50" Samsung DLP. Read thread carefully as there are 2 different version of the DMD chip you will need to replace. I ended up fixing mine for less than $165!

I've had my tv for 18 months and the spots started 7 months ago. It started with a few spots on the upper right side of the screen, not there's more than 100 spots concentrated in both upper corners of the screen.
