A distorted picture on your Samsung LED TV can stem from several sources. It could be the main board or the signal source. If checking the HDMI IC doesn't reveal any issues, inspect the HDMI source or HDMI jack. If problems arise before the HDMI IC check, examine the X12 pattern, LVDS cable, or T-CON.
