UN55ES8000 does not display HDMI correctly anymore (it flickers). SmartTV &amp; streaming still works. What is going on? (support site does not work)

Mine did the same a few months back. It's a simple cord inside the tv that needs to be replaced. The bad pay is Samsung charges a few to replace it and for the diagnostic. But it's an easy fix takes 5 minutes to switch it out.

My 606 is just now experiencing some HDMI swiching problems. From what I understand, that has been corrected, and I am expecting (crossed fingers) that Santa brings me a new shiny 608 for Christmas. I wouldn't have too many worries.

I just bought Vizio XVT473SV from Dell, which was delivered last week. Worked fine for a day or so, but I'm noticing some screen distortion/flickering occasionally. Also some audio cut-out. Some posts suggest this might be standard def vs HD channel issues. (cable) I've not had any indication of visual or audio problem yet when using the Internet Apps or when hooking up my laptop to it. But it doesn't always work right when I turn it on with it tuned to the cable box. The problem this morning with flickering was a situation with TV/cable turned on, cable tuned to a standard def channel from the night before. I tuned to an HD channel, the screen still flickered. I turned off cable and tv. Turned back on and all was well. I'm not happy to be seeing these kinds of problems within a day of having the tv though.

Hey, I had the same problem with an LN55C650 and even with a new panel it did it. So the tech got on the phone and called and was told about the service bulletin and cut jumper number p854 on the 55" and that fixed it. So the new panel came back out but I got my tv fixed. Yay!!!

Component connections to samsung HDTV did not work for me. No response yet from Philips as to why.

Try to check if you are at the right corresponding HDMI input. If that doesn't work try to go to &gt; System preference &gt; displays &gt; click the HDMI output. Hope this work cause mine works fine.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

I had a similar issue and eMailed ONKYO support with an explanation and request for an out of warranty repair. They approved my request because the problem was a bad HDMI board, which is a known issue. Good Luck.

I had this HDMI Board issue, everyone else talks about. Onkyo Stepped up and paid for the shipping to have it sent back, and fixed it. Its been working great since i got it back. Early Last year. Time Indeed will tell if it continues to do so. All has been well so far.

I did not find a resolution, unfortunately. I couldn't even definitively find out what the problem was - only speculation. My best guess from online research was HDCP compatibility. But if your 8500 doesn't work and my 9800 did (which neither should even support HDCP), then I guess that theory is out the window.Not long after my original post, I sent the tv back and got the Samsung LN-T3253H. No problems out of it.I know that doesn't really help, but that was my only real solution to the problem.

HDMI 3 solved the "issue" for me - never saw it again once I used that input. I also do have Anynet function turned on and my TV remote controls my Receiver. When I used HDMI 1 and switched source on my receiver, I saw the "STB Button" message all of the the time.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

I've had this problem on blue ray and direct tv. when using the hdmi connection. I am going to call customer support to have them note the problem before I download the firmware update.

I think Larry is spot on. If you have another HDMI handy, swap that in there. if it still persists, return it for another converter box.

Did you try to unplug the HDMI cable? If you switch input source or bring up the menu, does this show the overlay screen with the correct colors? Otherwise search for this at the internet.

Could be the cable, or the connection between the cable and the set or cable box also. I'd try giggling the cable first and next replacing the HDMI cable or swapping to a composite cable bundle.
