How to stop computer's screen from flashing?

My flat screen tv is flashing, need help!?

  • Okay, I turned my tv on today and it was flashing, I could still see the picture but it was flashing and then i turn it off and on again and it was fine. it flashed for about 5 secs and it stopped....I turned off my tv when i was done...... now... i turn it on and it wont stop flashing for about 2 mins then for 2 secs the flashing stops and it's a clear picture then goes straight to a black screen BUT the audio is fine. what is wrong? bulb?

  • Answer:

    What sources are you using when this happens?? Just cable, or DVD, is the video looping through a receiver? HDMI, or other video cables? I have seen this at times, primarily when using an upconvert DVD or Surround Sound receiver upconverting video. It almost seems as if the TV can't figure out what resolution to set. If you are using these sources try to change the output resolution to the corresponding resolution on your tv. Your TV should do this automatically but sometimes it doesn't. Let me know if this doesn't work. My set actually did this for a while and I changed the settings as mentioned and it worked.

It wouldn't be a Olevia would it? These TVs do this every now and then for some reason.

SONY projection TVs do that when the CRTS need adjusting or they are worn out..... Mitsubishis do that if the 5 Volt supply caps are dried out.... Samsungs do that if the LVDS cable has loosened up..... There are several problems that can create YOUR PROBLEM..... So....which one is it? And...what TYPE of TV is it? Flat screen covers CRT, LCD, DLP, and PLASMA..... Brand, TV Type, and model would be the BEST info to resolve your problem.......
