Totally sounds like the color wheel. A friend had the same problem and had to replace the color wheel and housing. A good website for that is SamsungParts.com or Discount-Merchant.com. It definitely doesn't sound like the lamp. The tech you talked to is trippin'. Color wheels are like 90 bucks or so, lamps a litte more, so I'd try the color wheel before the lamp.
