Hi,
Thanks for waiting. In order for me to help you resolve this. I need you to provide the exact model of your TV, please?
The model number is usually located on the sticker at the back of your TV. Can you please check if the dark shadow is happening on all Input?
I'll be waiting for your response.

We're attempting to answer your input question, but have to find fresh batteries for the Samsung remote. We normally use the Dish tv remote.
Yes, on all input.
Thanks for the information and sorry for the delay. The black shadow on screen is usually caused by a bad LCD panel. The panel needs to be replaced to fix the issue. May I know how old is your TV and do you have experience on opening and replacing parts of a TV?
I'll be waiting for your response.
Hi,
Just a follow up. Can you please verify if the dark shadow on your screen is the same as the image below?
Thanks
The shadow is darker and takes up 55 - 60% of the screen from the far right side toward and beyond center screen. Not competent to replace an LCD screen.
Thanks for your response. If you are not competent to replace the screen you can provide me with your zipcode so I can check and provide you the information of the nearest Samsung Service Center where you can bring/send the TV for repair/parts replacement.
I'll be waiting for your response.
