This TV was given to me by a friend, and I see why... First thing I did was replace the lamp (yes it was visably shattered). I fired it up and got only a black and white picture with about a 4" wide shadow down the left side. After pulling it apart I notice the color wheel shattered. Ok that answered the color issue. But before I order a new wheel I was concerned about the shadow. Upon alot of googling, I saw this to be a common problem with Samsung units made around 2005-6. Apparently there was a class action lawsuit filed due to the light tunnel mirrors being defective. I have seen some people say its the DMD board? Any input is appriciated, thank you. I am going to call the Samsung number for the class action lawsuit tomorrow and will repost my progress.

*Update*

Samsung is still covering the repairs for the light tunnel issue on these TVs. Serviceman came out today and replaced it no charge.
