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

most likely optical engine issue----bad light engine.

Yes,the tv have a colors wheel and it is the cause of these problems.Humming noises,motor noises,picture flashes black&white or colors pictures within the pictures.The colors wheel,is dying or already dead.Hire a tv tech. replaced the colors wheel,will solved ur tv problems.

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.

Quite typical, for an aging lamp about to go out, to get dim.

need a new lamp

try to reset the tv setting to its manufacturer settings and see if it fix the problem

It sounds like you need to buy a new bulb, this is what usually happens when the bulb is burning out this bulbs are made to last 6000-8000 life hours

I get this too with my Samsung. Are you watching HD content or standard (cable, satellite) tv? If it's the latter, that's why. The lack of quality really shows on analog signals. The shows that I Tivo look horrible a lot of times. Another thing is the connection to the television. If you are using standard RCA connectors, try switching to either component or HDMI.

Hope this helps.
