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.

I have a Samsung DLP so I'm interested in what you find out. Mines an LED, is yours? I have not had this happen and I've had my TV for three or four years I would guess.

I know the bulbs can fail and need to be replaced, but don't know what happens when one fails.

Now that you mention it, when I was having cable box issues a few months ago I was getting completely green screen. I took the cable box back and exchanged it and it's been fine since. I didn't get any part of the video feed when it happened.
