Green line along bottom of screen

Hey guys...
I've recently gotten a green line along the bottom of the screen on my Samsung. It runs about 15 inches.
I've enclosed a pic. I changed the bulb out about 2 months ago. Everything else is fine but this.
Any ideas?

I think this can be an issue with you DMD board, does this happen with all inputs?

Thx for the reply. I only use 3 inputs. Hdmi 2 is the picture above. Hdmi 1 is the blu Ray player and it appears fine. Av3 is the wii and the line is there but it's black not green.
Since I've changed the bulb I've noticed the screen is a tad tilted. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I thought I had just put the bulb in crooked.

no worries you are very welcome!
hmm, so the digital inputs are affected in different ways, I am almost 100% sure this can be a bad Analog/Digital Main input board! (or at least I would try replacing that first since it it relatively inexpensive compared to a DMD). About the tilt, make sure the lamp is secured in tightly and that you have not knocked the projector lens out of calibration!!!

So I tried an experiment... I switched the hdmi cables. So now hdmi 1 is cable and hdmi2 is the blu Ray player. The green line stayed with the cable input and the blu Ray still appears fine.
So the green line stayed with the cable no matter what input it was on.

My manual says:
HL-S5087W
HL-S5687W
HL-S6187W
I'm pretty sure it's the 5087

Now that I think about it, this happened right after I switched Out a cable box/dvr.

hmmm that raises the probability of it being a digital video board...
