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

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.

Try the Chromebox on another HDMI monitor or television. If it still has the problem on a different display your Chromebox is bad. Get it replaced under your warranty.

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.

Make sure your mini display port is enabled. If you are using HDMI it causes that flicker because it's at a different frequency. If you use the mini display port it will be clear and very smooth motion that will help that eyestrain greatly.

i'd stay away from it for now, not a delay thing, but a hotfix/security update or something for windows that installed at night, killed it.. As an alternative look for a vga or hdmi extension cable (depending on what your system puter has)

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.

No clue. I have my Chromecast attached to a port and works fine, sorry to hear :(

I sent it back twice until I realized that the flickering and black out stopped when I used the HDMI cable instead of the DVI or VGA

I've had mine about a month and have had no such issue. I would try a different video cable and power cord, then call Asus support.

Using the Displayport input, I could not get anything to work. I used an HDMI cable and it worked fine. Do you see the blue power light when you switch it on? If not, maybe defective.

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.

Christine, I would check the following: 1. Connection - make sure the hdmi cable is secure. Also if you have an old/cheap hdmi, I've been told investing in a new/higher quality can benefit, however I haven't tested. 2. Make sure you are set up for hd from your cable provider. If not you might be able to tune the channel, but if your box isn't hd you won't see the inproved picture. 3. Make sure you select the hdmi option the the tv selector (if you have the older red/white/yellow av cables plugged and are using those by mistake, they won't give you hd). 4. If you're streaming (watching amazon, vudu, YouTube, hbo go, etc) despite these sites offering hd, it is dependent upon the speed of your internet connection and you may not be receiving hd. If you've accouted for everything listed, I would call your cable provider. There may be an equipment issue (their box). Actually when I set mine up I had to so this as I was receiving a picture issue, but after a reset it has worked fine since. Hope you this helps and you resolve the issue.

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

No, I do not have an exact idea of what could be wrong since I have not experienced it. However, Are you using RCA cabling or HDMI? I recommend HDMI. The problen could be bad RCA cabling.

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

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?

I have Sabrent HDMI connected up too S-Video in from a Laser Disc player too HDMI out too LED flat screen TV and the color is just fine . If this individual says they only get black and white it's possible they have a bad unit and should return it . If it were me I would try connecting a different input device first .

I got it connected but the screen flickers every few seconds. I Think I got a defective mini dvi.

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