White dots on Samsung TV

I to am having whie dot problems. Just a month ago our 65" tv would keep cutting itself on and off. I called Samsung. Our TV was bought in 2007 so I was told it was out of warranty. I was told that a serviceman would contact me. He called the cost up front was $145.00 plus what ever he cost of parts and extra labor would be. We don't pay for services before they do anything. We took the tv to a local repairman. He checked the tv and called us to say it would cost $210.00 parts and labor. He fixed the problem and we paid him. Now white spots show up. I called Samsung again. They told me they would furnish the part but not the labor. After two days service man called and said the price would be $225.00. Samsung knows that they have a major defect on these tv's and should be held accountable for the problem. I also have 2 other Samsung TV's. How much is it going to cost us in the long run?

I'm assuming your TV is suffering from screen uniformity issue.. Samsung TVs have had that issue for quite a long time. When I talked to one of the Samsung technicians, I found out that it's not a defect but he said it's natural that we see little specks of colors at a "tolerable level" I'm afraid there isn't really any permanent fix to this particular issue...

  • Samsung DLP White dots on screen

    My 46 inch DLP  has a growing number of small white dots on the screen of my two year old Samsung ,any ideas on what is wrong and how much to fix?

    Hey mongo3772,
    There are a number of different problems that you could be experiencing, including a potentially defective digital micomirror device (DMD).  Unfortunately, the only way to determine if a part is actually failing would be to contact a factory-authorized service center. Before giving anyone a call, however, I’d strongly recommend visiting Samsung’s troubleshooting support website:
    http://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/troubleshootingGuidesMain.do
    You’ll need to have the model number for your TV handy when you visit the site, but you may be able to find a quick-fix for your TV that doesn’t involve a repair technician!
    Hope this helps you out!

  • Samsung LED 55" White Dot

    After working outside all day and exhausted I absent mindedly flicked my ball cap at a fly on the T.V.
    There is a 1 mm chip in the glass. The white dot appears when watching something. Mostly is visible on dark colored images. Hardly noticeable on sports programs thankfully.
    It's very small but the overall viewing experience is diminished from an otherwise beautiful picture.
    The diode looks intact. I believe the light is refracted into and through where the chip in the GLASS membrane is. When the program image is all black there is no white dot.
    What are your thoughts good kind community? 
    Thank you for you time and advice.

    Today...
    Local TV repair outfit, sort of affiliated with Best Buy, said that we are lucky it is only a tiny white dot. Most have a complete piece of junk after similar or worse damage.
    I was told that the only fix is replacement of the glass panel. This is $900 plus service and labor.  Not really worth it even though I paid a very good price initially. This technician of some measure of experience has, "tried everything", to repair glass panels. 
    It is unbelievable that this technology is so difficult to repair! The debate of manufacturing defects begin with this design and engineering. These materials are too delicate and unreliable. 
    This is my point about a learning experience regarding big screen LED screen technologies. Seems to me there would be enough cases of junked units and wasted investment to start class action lawsuits vs. manufacturers.
    I can live with the dot as it doesn't bother the image on sports...you don't notice it at all... Movies and dark images are another thing...and i'm a movie buff so part of my T.V. experience is affected.

  • White dot (not dead pixel) on external LCD monitor.

    Hi all,
    I recently noticed a strange situation. I've owned a MacBook Pro 13" since October, and usually run it with an external Samsung T260 LCD monitor by MiniDP to DVI. I run the monitor at its full resolution of 1920x1200.
    When I arrange the monitors so that the Samsung is on top of my MBP, there is a white dot about the size of a pixel approximately 3 inches from the left and 1/2 inch from the bottom of the screen. I thought it was a dead pixel, but when I move the external monitor to be on the left of the MBP, the white dot moves to 3 inches from the top and 1/2 inch from the right.
    * The white dot does not appear when I arrange the monitors in any other configuration.
    * The white dot appears when using MiniDP to VGA adapter as well.
    * When I zoom using the modifer key+scroll method, the white dot grows bigger.
    I've tried using the JScreenFix applet, but as I said, it doesn't look like a dead pixel.
    Can anyone offer any other suggestions, that may involved poking around in the Video RAM space?
    Thanks,
    -Tony

    Hi all,
    Just returning to provide more information:
    While playing around with my screen layouts, I found that the white dot is actually part of the menu bar graphic. I arranged my monitors and captured the screen to show the placement of the dot.

    I hope Apple is able to fix this in the next SW update.

  • NO White dot under open apps...

    This issue has been happening to me quite a few times lately and started about a week before the 10.6.3 update was released. Everything works fine, and then all of a sudden, I come to open an app, the app opens, but the dock icon doesn't display the app as open.
    Right now, I have Safari and Adium running, no white dot under their icons in the dock. I've tried re-adding the shortcuts to the dock, same issue. I've also tried relaunching Finder. FInder relaunches but when control-right clicking on the finder icon, it says that it's not responding. Sometimes Finder would actually crash and others i can continue to use my Mac until I'm fed up and reboot. After a reboot, all works well for a while, then.... It all happens again after a while.
    I've used Onyx and run the entire automations scripts (fix permission, delete cache,.....) I've even repaired the HDD volume with the mac disc yesterday... Woke up to see that my mac is running Adium and Safari without the dock showing those apps are active....... If right click on the Adium icon, it says "Open", as if the app wasn't already.
    I'm a pretty advanced user, I just can't figure this one out. Tried google, nothing. Can anyone help me

    Unfortunately, not in any of Mac OS X's settings as they exist today. Now there are several shareware Dock customizing utilities that will let you change all kinds of things about the Dock. Yet I hesitate to recommend them as they introduce the possibility of instability to your system and are often broken with new OS updates.
    You might consider submitting an Enhancement Request via the feedback form for Mac OS X:

    Personally I would like to see a change. That tiny bluish/white glow is very subtle for weakening eyes.

  • What is the white dot on my ipod screen?  i can't get rid of it even when using apps?

    If I click on the dot it brings up a translucent screen with other options: Favourites (star) Home (home button) Device (picture of an iphone) and the circle (gestures).  No matter what I do I cannot get rid of this icon and it is driving me mental!

    Just did a further search and found that my question was alreaxdy answered by Jandt - thank you!

    The white dot is the button that brings up AssistiveTouch which allows you to use your iPod if you have difficulty touching the screen.
    To turn this function off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > OFF.

  • White dot on screen in Photoshop

    Hello,
    Suddenly I've got a strange thing.
    After opening new file, preferences, or any other window in Photoshop there is a white dot appearing in one place.
    The white dot is visible only in Photoshop over anything except mouse arrow and toolbars (if you drag them over this white dot).
    If I delete preferences on startup or manually - the first launch of Photoshop is ok - no white dot.
    When I close it and start again - the white dot is in place again.
    Also.
    If I use dual monitor configuration - there is no white dot.
    If I on go disable second monitor - the dot appears after opening new window.
    If I on go enable second monitor - the dot doesn't disappear.
    My specs:
    Macbook Pro 17
    Mac OS X Mavericks
    Photoshop CS5
    Please help with ideas, I'm stuck.
    Thanks.

    That's definitely not a dead pixel.
    When I just click through Photoshop on my wallpaper - the dot magically disappears.
    Activate Photoshop again - appears again.
    I've got an update info.
    I've checked my GPUs work during this bug.
    First launch after preferences reset causes Photoshop to use discrete GPU on start.
    Second launch and after causes Photoshop to use integrated GPU on start and discrete GPU on opening preferences or opening or creating new file.
    I'm sure that these two aspects are linked somehow.
    Also I forced to use only integrated GPU. No dot.
    Forced to use only discrete GPU. No dot.
    So the problem is in Photoshop when it switches integrated GPU to discrete on on opening/creating file, or opening preferences.
    Why it starts to happen only now - I don't know.
    I haven't done any changes to preferences not in Photoshop, nor in System.
    Forcing of GPU use is a partial solution, but it doesn't fix the problem suddenly appeared.
    I doubt it's my hardware malfunctioning.

  • Many small black and white dots on LCD

    I bought macbook pro 2 months ago, the 2.33 ghz core 2 duo wid 2 gig ram and ATi Radeon X1600 xt gfx card. Recently i noticed small black and white dots cluttered in one place. The rest of the screen has about 7 - 8 independent dots, I feel as if they are increasing day by day. Is there any permanent solution to this. I contacted the apple support and I'm waiting on their decision.

    Thanx, but I think this is more of an hardware problem. Since its on the screen, I tried to take a screenshot, but the dots were not on the image. I have searched many times, it seems many people have this same problem, I think its the dead pixels, but this too much.

  • Bad video...columns of small white dots, pixelation

    Can anyone help me...i've had the apple tv for some time and now i get inconsistent video quality. Just started several months ago. white dot columns, pixilation are the problems, any suggestions?

    I have the same problem with mine starting tonight, and I'm pretty sure the internal video card is going bad.
    I bought mine years ago during the first few days after the ATV was released. It was running OS 3.02 as of tonight. When I "restore" it installs version 1.0, but the "dots or lines in video problem" is still seen in the menus. And after the restore it started to lock up randomly, with nothing on it, just by going through the menus.
    I'm leaving it unplugged to see if the problem is over-heating, but it's not any hotter than usual.

  • I was buy last 4 days new i phone 4 ,now one small white dot is come my screen

    i was buy last 4 days new i phone 4 ,now one small white dot is come my screen

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.
