image on tv goes green

I have a large Samsung DLP that has started to ocassionally flash to black outlines on a bright green screen. It looks almost like a solarized photograph. This occurs independent of source - both on DVD/blue-ray and on satellite TV.

This might occur once in five or ten hours and might last 5 to 20 seconds.

Any tech types out there have a guess as to what's going on here.

Thanks in advance.

My issues are definitely not related to a cable box. The TV has been in three locations in two houses and has the same issue no matter which source or electrical supply it is connected to.

My 6 or 7 year old 56" Samsung DLP gets a green pattern that looks like tribal graphics. This happens once or twice a day. Since I am old school, I give the back of the tv a good slap and it resolves the problem for a while. This set might have 500 hours on it max.
I am curious to know if my tv has the same problem as Marty's.

Raks.......tell your wife to give that tv a good smack. It gets rid of the green for a while and takes the focus off you.
