I solved the issue and this is how. 

After lot of research and dozens of suggestions I decided to try something simple first. 

My Samsung UE39F5500 was connected directly to the Internet, no cables apart from the power.

I opened the back of the TV and made sure everything was properly connected especially the highlighted part on the image. (shows how technical I am). 

Problem solved. 20180826_123745.jpg

Where did you buy it from? Maybe you still have a retailers warranty if it's within 5 years of purchase.

no i have had it about 7 years so i guess it has done well compared to some peoples.

The dark band only appeared yesterday and came across this forum.

Apparently it's a software issue (I had my entire panel replaced and then still developed a fault) so if it's an easy thing for you to do, remove the all the HDMI cables and plug socket, wait 15 minutes or so and try again.

I unplugged it last night but forgot to remove the cables and i know what you mean about a software issue as it looks like the top part were the drop down menu pops up.
