tv on HDMI flickers
i recently got a hdtv, when i play my ps3 on anything be it dvd,bluray,video game or video files it flickers for like a second and its starting to bug me, it doesnt happen on the xmb sometimes it flickers every 20mins, sometimes it does it twice in a row with in the space of 10seconds, also when im watching dvd's on my xbox it does it aswell
ive tried it them on 2 other hdtv with i think also 2 hdmi's and tested different consoles on my tv and it still flickers |

On the PS3, go to settings and video settings. Play about with them is the best i can say.
but it sounds like the TV is the problem or the HDMI cables. I have a bit of knowhow with them because i sell them, but anyhoo. What make of TV and HDMI are you using? |

1. What is the brand name and model number of the TV?
2. Is the HDMI cable native to TV/PS3? 3. Try the following: when turning on PS3 press and hold power button for 5 seconds - it must initiate auto output detection and configuration. |

2. Was it bought with the TV, with PS3 or separately?
3. Try to change the HDMI cable. |

I seem to recall having similar problems before. (Even inverted colours lol, but I guess that's due to overheating). Simply unglugging the HDMI cable and reinserting it worked for me. But your problem sounds more like a problem with the cable itself.
