Samsung HLN437W 43" Rear Projection HDTV Logo

I have a Samsung HLN437WX DLPTV. The problem that

I have a Samsung HLN437WX DLPTV. The problem that I've been having is that the TV will be on and suddendly I will lose the picture. I get a 'freeze' picture but it goes to a half-shade black color...the sound continues to come over. I've had this happen several times now. Sometimes the TV will work fine for several hours, then this will happen. Recently, it will happen within minutes of turning the TV on. Does this mean the lamp bulb needs to be replaced? Thanks

    This is not a signal problem nor a connection or wiring problem. This is a problem within the TV. Again, I'm getting a freeze frame of black pixels with the sound continuing to work. This can happen quickly after the TV is turned on(recently) or as in the past, not happen for quite a while.

    I have the same problem. I have replaced my color wheel about two years ago. I am on my third bulb over the life of the tv. To me it seems like a circut board problem, or some kind of micro switch problem. I do belive it is a heat related issue. Mine will go out after prolonged use. If I shut it off and let the fan run the full cool down cycle and turn back on it will only work well for a few moments. If I unplug the tv and let it sit a few moments then turn it back on it will last a little longer befor blackout. Tv works great untill one of the many important connections gets interupted. Things we know for sure is the lamp is still good. The color wheel is still spinning and doing its job. Is thier a seperate controler for the dlp chip set? Or it could be the chip set it self is the problem. I still in the blackout broblem get some small color flutters across the screen. So the chip is still trying to do something but for the most part the chip is not reflecting the image. 99% of the pixals are turn off. Hope this helps or jogs somebody in to thinking of a fix. I know just enough to be distructive. Thanks for reading.

I have a Samsung DLPTV, picture is fine. There is a "whining" noise associated with the TV the whole time its on. Stops as TV shuts down, It's about 4 years old and have not replaced lamp. Could this be...

Google your model number; I suspect it is a bad color wheel--lots of these sets have a fan like noise or even a grinding sound sometimes called a high pitched whine.

The part can be customer replaceable and YOUTube has actual video instructions for its replacement.

Let me know if you have questions as I am here to help.

TV Screen 'freezing' while watching.

Most likely the DMD board is at fault. If the DMD board is failing it will hold the data lines in the set down which will cause it to stay on until you unplug it. The part number for the DMD board is BP96-00249A but I suggest you have a technician verify the issue and replace the board as it requires mechanical alignment after wards. Please take a moment to rate my answer. Thank you.

Tv turns on with sound but no picture

Check the lamp, that can cuase that condition. If the lamp's glass looks foggy somewhat or it might be broken inside that will be the problem.
