Samsung forum: Blue light on 2333HD

VaroBoliv,

It may be detecting a signal from a component that it is hooked up to. The best solution may be to turn off the monitor at night.

Thanks for your speedy response,

If I turn the monitor off at night will I have to reset my user defined settings when I turn it back on?

Regards

Many thanks,
that seems to have done the trick.

i have exact the same problem on two samsung tv's 2333HD and 933HD both are "glowing in the dark" the blue light at random times. Tried setting it to value 1 on reccomendation of the Samsung Service, but didn't help enough. Also tried to disable the autoupdate function.
Last time I called the SCC they advised me covering the light with tape....pfff

Why doesn't samsung solve this firware problem? There are thousands of people reporting the same problem all over the world in different forums.

I think its time to join together and sue them for a mallicious product, lets see how fast they can make a firmware update then!

I describe the the recommended solution from Samsung's customer support that helped me (currently) not to wake me up at night (I have the monitor in the bedroom).
I state that I use the TV as a monitor only.

- In Menu, disable the software update in standby
- In Service Menu, Option section (info + menu + mute + power), set the "Light Effect" to Off
- In Service Menu, Advanced section -> ADJUST, set the parameter "Standby Mode Time" on 2Min (was at 45 min)

Since I set these parameters as described, the blue LED stays off when the monitor is turned off.

I hope to help you.
Sorry for my bad English

Hi Tim,
yes, the indications provided are applicable to the 2333HD.
But after a few days, the problem has returned. I checked that many times the LED turns off when I turn on the light in the room. I then contacted Samsung's customer support and they are testing whether this problem can be linked to some light sensor inside the monitor.

Other options than the system update, you can achieve in the service menu (by pressing in sequence on the remote "info + menu + mute + power" when the monitor is turned off).
When I come back home get the software version of the TV and post it.

Hi there,

I have exactly the same problem on my 2333HD. I went to the service menu and the light option was already set to off.

I like the fact that the TV will update itself during the night and dont really want to turn that off, so is there any way to leave the auto updates on and ensure the light doesn't come on?

Also, I have a separate question about the EPG: is there any way to set it to show 'now and next' whenever I change channel? I'm sure when i looked at it in the shop it did this, but the one I bought doesn't and I can't see a suitable option in the menus?!

Any help, much appreciated, Thanks!
