I power cycled the unit and noticed the red portion of the color was gone.  I knew this was an indication of a hardware failure because the menus and settings were also affected.\r\n\r\nI called Samsung and they claimed my TV only had a 1 year warranty, I've had my set for 15 months.  (Oddly I remember the salesman claiming that the light engine should last 20K hours).  \r\n\r\nI did some research and found a trend with this type of failure.
