The same thing happened to my E715, and it is making me crazy.
It started with horizontal lines running across the screen about a month ago, and although I was upset, it was something I could live with. Besides, I've had the phone for a little over a year now.
But then this morning I went to look at my text messages and everything is WAY too bright! I cant input any symbols in text messages without having to hold the screen at an awkward angle just to see the symbols im entering. All of my pictures look the way they make an atomic bomb look in movies. And the screen flashes every once in a while, subtle but annoying as hell.
Im pretty ticked off about this, especially because the warranty ran out just a month and a half ago. Its like samsung times these things to happen... If anyone can figure out how to fix this (freely), please let me know. If I find out anything I'll let you all know.

I'm having the same problem with my e710, I had it fixed once before but now the problem seems to return.
The thing is they seem to have fixed my phone without disassambling it, so I'm hoping somebody knows a code to adjust the screen.

E715 scan line problems and so on...
is related to the firmware. I just got off the phone with level 2 support at Samsung and the guy was pretty friendly. He said they would RMA my E715 free of charge. He also told me that the problem is not with the LCD screen, but the software. He said, the latest version is E715UVDJ2 (from April or May of 2005 I believe he said).
I just proved this to be true by loading the E715UMDH1 FW on my phone and powering up, then pressing 1#. The screen wnet to the alternate view of the phonebook and it was perfectly clear and no scan lines!!! Perfect display! When I exited this alternate phonebook screen, the scan lines were back. Prior to flashing the E715UMDH1 FW, I had the E710XXDF4 version.
So, it is not the LCD screen that causes the problem. Apparently, you load the new E715UVDJ2 FW and then use UST Pro 6.0 (which I have) to reset the phone's contrast and resolution and judging from what limited info he would actually come right out and say, this is how they fix it when you RMA your phone to Samsung. He told me flat out it could be fixed without opening the phone in most cases.
Now, if someone would dump their E715UVDJ2 firmware and send it to me or post a link here, I will flash it and then run UST Pro on my E715 and see what happens. I will also try and mod the FW with a no camera sound mod, and maybe I'll even try to hook up that Star trek communicator sound for the folder tone, for you trekkie fans.
