Hi,
    I'm the first to admit I don't know anything about LCD projection
TVs. A friend of mine's SP56L5HX developed a yellowish hue in the
picture which is shifting towards green.
   I've done some Google searching to find the likely cause, but
didn't do any good.
   Does anyone recognize the symptoms and can tell me what to tell
him?
   Thanks!

Cheers
Bob

Does it have fans and filters ?

In LCD projectors that usually indicates a heat damaged or aging 
polarizer filter.  I don't know if this applies to LCD panels....

rear projection units (the ones that use an lcd or dlp panel) usually 
need to have the bulb replaced after x thousand hours. check the bulb 
time counter.

failing that could be bad input signal check cables, also check colour 
settings, my hitachi crt rptv has many colour settings.

   Thanks for all your suggestions. Lots more Google searching has
only found a couple of references to this happening with other Samsung
LCD TVs, so apparently it's not a common problem.
   I've told my mate to talk to Samsung and see what they say.
