Just got a brand new one, I notice during focusing there is a very slight flicker. Is this normal? I didn't notice it on my 3D LED. Lights up fine tho

I have one and mine doesn't flicker when I focus, but I don't re-focus very often.

Just got mine today and noticed some dead pixels on the LCD as well. Have yours gone away? Did more show up?

Mine did the same thing, after about 20-30 hours of use it stopped. The bulb will also occasionally flicker, though this didn't begin until it reached about 500 hours. For the money, I had no real complaints, but if you can afford it, I would go for the factory original...... most of these aftermarket bulbs do odd things, and rarely do they work perfectly out the box.

I just received mine in the mail, and is starting to think it may be a fake. Did your light always blink?? Mine is, and it looks like it's not supposed to be doing that! Help!! Did I get a fake? I can see where the plastic was molded, also. Is this a sign of a fake??

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.

I've had mine for almost a year now. Unlike the previous posters, I haven't had any issues with focus. However, I have recently discovered 3 dead pixels in the CCD each separated pretty far from each other. I shrink most of my pictures for web use so it's not really an issue with me but it's not good when there's more than a couple of dead pixels in your CCD. Otherwise it's been pretty good; I do like it a lot.

Check your brightness setting. I read that one user was getting flickering when he had the brightness setting set to 75% and CPU usage was high. He didn't see it any other time. Search the net for more info. May or may not be a platform issue.

Mine flickers a bit no matter which bulb I have in. Don't know why or if it has happened to anyone else but overall it works

In my original review I pointed out that these flicker when dimmed, could also be associated with buzzing since the load is on and off. Mine are still going strong after considerable use, however, I rarely dim since the flickering is irritating.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

Mine doesn't. Maybe it's the ergonomic shape that makes it look like it would do that. But it doesn't. Had mine for a while now and the LED lights on it work fine, too. Good lens.

The blue and green LEDs are bright, yes. Is that a problem? Depends.I have the 5341J in my bedroom and it somewhat illuminates the room at night. Luckily the 4 steady-on LEDs (2 green and 2 blue) are strong enough that the one blinking green LED doesn't give stroboscopic effects in the room, and so as the LEDs are not directly visible when I'm lying in my bed I have no issues with it.If however the LEDs were visible from the corner of my eye when lying in bed, it would annoy me.Tip: If you want to make them less bright but still visible, a sophisticated way of doing so would be to get Rosco #210 .6 Neutral Density Sheet at your professional photo shop and tape a piece of it over the status LEDs.

I had the same problem. I noticed a small drip stain on the LED cover. Cleaned it with a little Windex on a rag. Now works perfectly.

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light!http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34
