Monitor flickering when connected via hdmi is a fairly common problem.
If you have connected a monitor via hdmi cable and faced the problem of intermittent blinking or flickering of the image, then my simple advice will help you return the monitor to working condition.
It is important to understand that such a problem can be a wake-up call. This behavior may indicate problems on the video card or the monitor itself. If the iron check reports that there are no breakdowns, then the hdmi wire is to blame.
The first thing to do is try to use the shortest possible wire. In most cases, this advice helps. But this is not always the case.
In my case, a 10-15 centimeter wire was used, much shorter. It took a day to figure out the problem. The computer and system were fully functional, but the monitor continued to flicker intermittently. By the way, during this flicker, drivers flew to the monitor.
Straining memory and pulling out of it specifications hdmi, a simple and affordable solution to the problem was found.
A bit of theory. hdmi is quite demanding wiring. The operation of its channel can be disturbed by waves from the outside, jumps on the ground wire, and much more.
The most interesting thing is that even the inhabitants of modern cities are not guaranteed normal grounding. And if you use a pilot, then even more so how lucky.
As a matter of fact, it is the ground wire that gives the flickering screen problem.
We turn off the monitor from the power supply and rewind the silver contacts with electrical tape.
The ground contacts have a recess, you can put a piece of electrical tape in it and additionally glue the tape on top.
To help you understand what needs to be de-energized, I am attaching a photo.
After such an upgrade of the plug, the blinking of the monitor should go away or be reduced to a minimum.
Users face this problem quite often. The main difficulty lies in determining the cause of the problem. It is extremely difficult to unequivocally answer why the TV screen blinks? The diagnostic result directly depends on the signal source. Hardware failures cannot be ruled out. It is likely that the failure of the basic components is the cause of the interference. Now let's look at the most common causes of TV screen flickering, and also analyze effective ways solutions to this problem.
What to do if the LG TV screen is flickering? Start with hardware diagnostics. Check the functionality of the basic modules of the TV device. Extremely often in the power system, namely in the inverter, high-voltage capacitors burn out. In kinescope models, solder cracks appear. Mechanical defects visually resemble a ring. They appear in those places on the board where all the elements are heated. Such a breakdown also occurs due to high voltage.
If the inverter does not provide the required voltage level, then the LED backlight starts flashing. It may flicker when the LG TV is turned on. In some situations, the LEDs go out altogether. Therefore, some parts of the screen remain completely dark. To solve the problem, you need to check the performance of capacitors and LEDs. In some situations, you have to solder the boards in places where there is increased voltage.
Separately, we note that flickering of the screen due to a breakdown of the board is more often typical for Smart TV from Samsung. This is due to a factory defect. Sometimes you can reduce the negative effect a little by adjusting the brightness.
If the LCD TV screen starts to flicker after connecting a certain power source, then the connection is the cause of the problem. For example, a defect may appear due to a malfunction of the antenna, cable or receiver. TV sources should be thoroughly tested to rule out the causes of problems with TV sources.
To set up a satellite TV broadcast, you need to use a receiver, a signal source and a TV. The source of the TV signal is satellite dish or cable run by providers. The receiver is used to decrypt the satellite signal. The signal is transmitted to the TV via HDMI or RCA interface. Much depends on the model of the TV device.
Malfunction of one of the items listed above will cause the Samsung TV screen to flicker, the image will be distorted. It is not excluded the appearance of other defects.
If you are using a satellite TV provider and you are having problems, just call hotline. When a satellite dish acts as a signal source, the connection check begins with this element.
Do not rush to dismantle or move the antenna, because then it will be extremely difficult to point it in the right direction. This requires additional hardware. First, simply unplug the antenna cable from the decoder. A notification will appear on the TV screen stating that there is no signal.
If the flickering stops, then the problem is in the cable or satellite converter. Much easier to re-lay the cable. This will take a minimum of time. Connect a new cable to the receiver and check the broadcast quality. Is the screen flickering again? This indicates a malfunction of the satellite converter - a special device that receives a signal from a dish. You will not be able to repair the converter yourself. Seek help from experts.
In a satellite connection, it is the receiver that is responsible for the image quality. Therefore, the performance of the decoder determines the comfort during viewing. How to test the receiver? First, disconnect it from the external receiving cable. It cannot be ruled out that failures occurred in the signal receiving module.
An alternative solution is to replace (if possible) or disconnect the cable that is connected from the decoder to the TV. Switch it to another signal source. For example, if you have selected analog broadcast and the blinking stops, then the problem is identified correctly.
What should I do if the display continues to flicker after replacing and disconnecting the cable? This indicates the presence of hardware failures of the TV. Contact the service center.
What to do if the image flickers on the TV? The user does not have many options. Inspect the television cable that was laid by the provider in your apartment. If mechanical damage is found, change the cable.
Practice shows that problems with color and other interference appear due to a broken plug. It is very difficult to detect damage. Disassemble the plug and check the integrity of the element.

If changing the signal source resulted in the disappearance of the screen flicker, then the problem was detected correctly. Contact the call center of the provider cable television and report any problems. First, try to repair or change the plug with your own hands. It is possible that it broke as a result of a short circuit.
If the picture on the TV flickers during analog or digital connection, then it will not be difficult to solve the problem. First, check the antenna, especially if it is equipped with electronic devices that provide signal amplification. Move the antenna. Does the flicker go away? Disconnect the cable from the TV antenna. Are the defects gone? You will have to change the cable or antenna.
Flickering is far from the only glitch that users face. Very often the image is distorted and the TV beeps. All this may be due to a malfunction of an ordinary antenna.
Modern TV models can be very easily transformed into a computer monitor. The main thing is that the PC or laptop is equipped with an HDMI interface. Of course, there are other ways to set up synchronization, but this option is optimal.
What to do if the TV screen flickers after setting up the connection. There may be several reasons. Consider the most common - incompatible frequency or resolution settings of the video card with the settings of the TV device.
If a signal is transmitted through the HDMI cable that exceeds the frequency supported by the TV, then frame skipping will occur, that is, the picture will flicker. It is possible that the image will be completely absent.
Identical problems may occur due to incompatible output resolution values of the computer / laptop graphics adapter with the settings of the TV device. To fix the error that has appeared, follow the simple step-by-step instructions:
The screen of modern TV devices is a matrix that is illuminated by LEDs and other lamps. The backlight provides the necessary brightness of the image. LCD TVs create the desired brightness by intense flickering of all backlight elements.
A long delay between pulses will cause unsatisfactory image brightness. In some situations (for example, when the light of high-frequency LEDs falls on the TV screen), the pause between the pulses becomes longer, at least this seems to be the case. It may seem to the viewer that the screen began to blink.
If the cause of the problem is insufficient backlight brightness, then you just need to change the settings. Increasing the brightness value will make the colors bright but washed out. The problem is solved by changing the contrast settings.
Note.
Before you start solving problems, you need to make sure that the latest driver is installed on the video card of your computer / laptop. For this it is necessary determine which video card you have , go to the manufacturer's website and see which version of the driver for your video card is relevant and if you need to update it.
The task is to make the computer screen the main one, and the TV additional.
Solution - right click on the desktop and select " Screen resolution" or go "Control Panel" - "Display" - "Adjust Screen Resolution".
The next step is to determine which screen we have the main (1st) and additional (2nd), for this you need to click " Define". You will see a number on the TV screen" 1 ", on the screen of a computer / laptop a number " 2 ". To correct the situation, you need to click on the screen in the Screen Resolution window" 2 ". tick " Set as primary monitor"and press the button" OK".
Those. you have connected everything and everything works for you, but the sound must be switched from the computer to the TV or vice versa. To do this, on the computer, right-click on the speaker icon on the taskbar. if you do not have such an icon, restore it and select " playback device".
In the device window that opens, select the playback device and click the " Default" and " OK".
A similar situation is related to the settings on the computer, in this case the TV works as a screen extension, i.e. it increases the size of your desktop, if you drag a window to the right or left (depending on the settings) on a computer / laptop, then part of this window will be displayed on the TV.
If you are not satisfied with this setting and want the TV to completely duplicate everything that happens on the computer / laptop monitor, in this case, right-click on the desktop, select " Screen resolution".
In the properties window that opens, in the field Multiple Screens select " Duplicate these screens", press " Apply".
If everything suits you, in the confirmation window, click " Save Changes", if not, then you do not need to press anything, after 15 seconds the settings go back.
Solution - the problem is most likely related to a low-quality HDMI / DVI cable and it needs to be changed.
