I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but if your TV is about 5 years old or more then it is likely it is the screen that is failing. Samsung had an issue some time ago with the bonding around the screen which eventually failed. This gave the fault you describe. There are You-tube videos on successful repairs but I have experienced this personally and my screen is stuffed. (Bought a new TV.) Try a search of You-tube you have nothing to lose. This is a link to your TV at Samsung.
