I have a dim screen issue. I got this TV in 2020 I believe and it's worked great. But a month or so ago, I paused what I was watching and you know how the screen dims when you pause, well when I went to unpause it, it stayed dim. I talked to Samsung support who told me to do device care and turn it on and off in several different ways but nothing would work to make it go back. I eventually reset it to factory and while signing into several apps, one I went into the screen suddenly brightened back up to normal. It lasted a few weeks or so before it went dim while I was watching something and I tried all the same things I had before with no luck to get it back. My warranty is always over when these tvs mess up and it was used A LOT. It pretty much stayed on 24/7 because I work from home and like the noise in the background and I need a movie playing while I sleep to stay asleep. We also always had it on dynamic brightness as well. Did I just burn it out from the constant play? I'm not sure what else to do here.

LED and OLED TVsIt's unlikely that the issue you're experiencing with your Samsung Television can be resolved by performing the procedural troubleshooting steps. Usually there are a number of them. However, it sounds unlikely that they will resolve your issue.
As far as the issue you are experiencing from what symptoms you do mention. It sounds like there's a problem with the power board side of your Television. That's not to say that it's just the power supply board or just one issue. The issue you are experiencing is the internal system that protects the Television from further damage.
It very well could be that there are LED Strips that have gone bad. The internal Power Supply Expects an expected uptake voltage to the LED's. The LED's are supposed to consume that expected power. When it senses that the LED's aren't consuming the power they should be. It will cause the Television to shut off.
I hope that I have given you an idea as to where to look. I don't work for Samsung nor can my advice be taken as being for Samsung Corporation or any of it's Affiliates. Depending on the age of the Television and how much you want to pay? You could have it repaired or fix it yourself. My personal opinion.
