Samsung TV & Audio QN55LS03BAFXZA 55" Class The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV SCREEN DIM Error Fix: Screen Dims Randomly

Error code SCREEN DIM on the Samsung TV & Audio QN55LS03BAFXZA 55" Class The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV means: Screen Dims Randomly. Screen brightness suddenly drops or dims on its own. Most commonly caused by Brightness Optimization / Eco Sensor: Settings → General → Power and Energy Saving → Brightness Optimization → Off. Also disable Ambient Light Detection and Motion Lighting. On OLED models, the Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL) reduces brightness on large bright areas — this is normal OLED behavior. Check picture mode — "Movie" and "Filmmaker" modes are intentionally dimmer. If random dimming persists after disabling auto-brightness features, the LED backlight driver or power supply may be degrading.
