When I custom set the color and brightness on the TV in about a hour the color changes back to default. I took the first tv back a got a different one and still the same problem. I bought it open box so no book, but my other HDTV , the model Samsung HL-S6187W 61" 1080P High Definition DLP TV and dont have this problem.

Any help would be greatful.
Both units open box (they might have been returned for a reason)? Sure appears to be a bad TV. The Samsung DLP line has been riddled with issue thru the past 5 generations. They have add big issues with the color wheels failing or not functioning properly. I know Samsung support is not very good, but have you talked to them?

What source is connected when this happens?

Is it always one hour? Does it change back to default if you simply turn off the TV?

I will browse thur the manual later and see if anything catches my eye...
