Flicker on HD CRT

Gonzo8 · 12-09-2008, 03:03 PM

Within the last month my HD CRT tv has been flickering. It use to have an awesome picture, better that some of my friends with newer HDTV's to a washed out image. The flicker is pretty sporadic and it is almost like it may be some kind of electrical interferance, however I am no expert. If somebody could clue me in to a way to solve this problem I would appreciate it greatly. I can't have any of my friends over to watch anything because I feel embarrased about how bad the picture looks sometimes. Thanks in advanced for anyone who helps me.

double check all connections, you do not mention if it is only a video in or is it off air too? then if that is of no help, you can get a filter that will eliminate EMI interference. and check the ground to either cable or sat. this will cause issues. a broken/frayed wire will also cause it. make sure you cables are good quality. not out of box issue.

I get the flicker while watching cable which is run into a component video input as well as the HDMI input which is hooked up to a Blu-Ray palyer.

I think I fixed it. I took everything apart, dusted everything off and it seems to have gone away!!! About to watch the Dark Knight without the flicker!!
