I bought my Samsung 50" 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTV PN50C450 brand new less than 2 months ago. It is a great TV and has an amazing picture for the price. However, every so often- the picture dims slightly, then immediately brightens. When it happens it will occur every few minutes for maybe 15-20 mins. It may not happen again for a week. Is this a power issue or is it something seriously wrong with my TV?? I know nothing about TV's and have not been able to find information on this problem anywhere on the internet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well the TV is only 2 months old so it still has its manufactures warranty on parts and labor so I would call Samsung and have the problem professionally dealt with. That is definitely not something normal for the plasma to do, don't bother trying to fix it yourself.

Have you checked your eco settings in the menu? Maybe one of them is on.

ed if that was true then it would be having this problem all the time and not intermittently on and off every week or 2.

.. could be "eco settings" (Energy Savings setting - turn off) or the Auto-sensor (turn off) which detects lighting in room & adjust brightness to room temperment.

Another vote for the eco sensor.

I just turned Eco Sensor off. When I toggled this setting on and off it mimicked the dimming and brightening I was witnessing exactly. I think this was for sure the problem. Very odd default setting...
