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

You dont get a picture.

I have replaced ours 2x's now. According to the manual and what we have read in forums, they say that the picture quality will degrade as the bulb gets older. We have found this to be not true with our Sony xrd dlp...as the picture remains the same all the time and then one day------poof. No more tv.
