After Chromebox turned on, display flickers/flashes for &gt;5 mins before stabilizing. Tried different HDMI cables with no luck. How to fix?

Return it for a new one. The whole point of something like a Chromebox is its simplicity and almost immediate 'on' ability. Unless another computer that you know is OK also does that with that monitor, return the Chromebox.

I am having an issue with my 5400. Worked great out of the box for about 3 months....Then the video started flickering, then would go black for about 5-10 seconds then come back. (very annoying when watching sports!). anyone have any ideas?

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms.Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

It could be the ballast board or a capacitor issue. If capacitor looks bloated, replace. Might be a good idea to take it to TV or computer type shop for quote as you already spent half the cost of a new projector, on the replacement bulb. If it costs more than $200 to fix, I'd buy a new one and get the longest warranty you can. I have had my Acer for over a year now and no issues whatsoever.

Tom,Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem.R Tom,Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma.

I'm sorry, I don't know what the Asus Chromebox is? I looked at the item and it says it is a male DVI connector. I am not that familiar with the display port portion of the equation, but the specs say it is a DVI connector. If you scroll down the page a little more from the basic product information, it gives you the specs of the cable.

I haven't seen flickering. Youtube works fine for me. Are you using the Youtube app, or a browser? If browser, which one? I've used Chrome and (mostly) the Youtube app.

I have also had intermittent connection on the Mini Display Port connector. I would get a blinking display or lines in the display. Make sure it is well seated, then it seems to work better. I am not sure if it is only this cable, or inherent in the Mini Display Port connection.

i have the LN46C630 model with same flickering problem occuring just after warranty expired. technician fixed it by cutting one "jumper" (metal wire about 1/2 inch long) located on the power supply circuit board. takes 5 minutes to fix. technician said samsung issued service bulletin that told repair techs how to fix it. you can do it yourself with a screwdriver, small wirecutters. i could send a photo if you wantok, not sure how to post the photo here, but here's what the technician did for $150...unscrew 17 screws, remove the back cover to the TVfind the power supply circuit board, that's the one your TV's power cord plugs into. On the power supply circuit board, upper left corner, to the right of and below the large 46", there is a metal jumper labelled JP852 that is no more than 2 cm in length. it connects something labelled 'Input rating' and another labeled 'COLD'. the technician used wire cutters and cut the JP852 jumper. that solved my flickering issue, TV works great now. tech said that every size TV in this class of samsung has the same design flaw and can be fixed like this. good luck. i would post a photo, but can't figure it out."&lt;/i&gt;

Most likely because HDMI won't initialize until after POST has completed where DSUB is typically one of the first things initialized during POST.

Not a problem! The Display Port does need the correct plug/cord. I paid 12 bucks on amazon. Output on the chromebox is 1080 and the sound is digital and outstanding!

No flicker at all for me....I used it to switch between my older Tivo and my DVD player. Recently, I upgraded my Tivo to Tivo HD, so I now have an HDMI cable for it and only have my DVD player on the switchbox. I never had any trouble with my StarTech switchbox. It's a good investment if you have non-HD components that you need to add into your configuration with your TV.

You can through DVI or VGA connection. Unfortunately, Chromebox does not have HDMI port but you can buy a dongle converting from display port to HDMI if you a HDMI connection in your TV. I hope, Samsung include a HDMI in the next model. I love my Chromebox connected to a 29 inch monitor.

I too have a Philips 42" monitor. Have you tried moving the HDMI cable directly to the monitor just as a test? I have seen the same issue here but I am connected though component video at the moment and was hoping to resolve the issue by using the DVI input on my monitor.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

Check for loose wiring/loose fittings first. Second would be to try changing the resolution on screen. Last would be your monitor is going out. Let's hope that's not it.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems.My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.
