![]() However if that's not the case I can open it up and check the boards for bulged/leaking capacitors and any components which have maybe burned up/otherwise gone bad. If anyone has any idea what this might be just from the description alone that would be great. There is a slight hum from the TV too (from the SMPS I assume), however I'm not certain if that was always there and I'm just noticing it now. The fact that there's a thin bar makes me think that there may be an issue with whatever is driving the display rather than a ‘simple’ LED issue. My next TV - when I upgrade to a 120Hz TV - will be an LG or something like that.So I noticed that my screen was flickering last night (and it seemed to be fine today, until now), however it doesn't seem to be like the flickering seen in other videos showing screen flicker where the screen goes off and on like a broken fluorescent light (which seems to happen to TVs using LED backlighting like mine) instead the best way to describe it would be like a rapid pulsating where the screen dips in brightness and increases in cycles, it'll ‘pulsate’ maybe 20 times over a two second period then be normal for a second then repeat the process over again, the entire screen is still visible during this, at no point does the screen go black entirely (at least not for a duration visible to the human eye, I'll record it in slow motion and see if there's more than the usual 60hz flicker) this flickering is intermittent and at times the TV seems totally fine, except for a very thin (invisible at even 1.5m/6ft distance) horizontal bar near the very top of the screen which is more visible on the right hand side and flickers at the same rhythm as the entire screen. Samsung have always been useless with their customer service - I wouldn't expect them to come up with a solution. In this day and age, and with this console supposedly being the world's favourite console, this situation stinks. I will never buy a PS5 - I wish I'd never bought a PS4 Pro. But this defeats the object of buying a PS4 Pro. And the obvious solution is to down grade everything to 1080P, thereby solving the issue of too much data coming down the HDMI cables. I have done as much research as anyone, and the only solution that works for me is to switch from Automatic resolution to RGB to that other one - either of these seem to work, sometimes. ![]() Since getting a Series X I haven't played the PS4 Pro much, but last week I started playing a couple of games and am sorry to say it's started to misbehave as badly as it did when I first bought a PS4 Pro. Whereas I played all the way through Horizon Zero Dawn and God Of War - 2 very graphically demanding games - and didn't have it happen once. It seems to happen more with certain games - I gave up on Snooker 19 in the end, and bought it for the XBox, because the black screen was that bad. ![]() After some frantic googling, I didn't really find an answer (because there isn't one), other than to play around with the Video Resolution settings, and it did seem to behave for a while after that. "This is a bit wierd" I thought, and then got this sinking feeling as the occaional flicker would then last for 2 to 3 seconds every 10 seconds. I started Spiderman, and almost straight away the black screen flickering started. ![]() I remember the much anticipated day I bought a PS4 Pro, in late 2019, to play all the much-touted PS4 exclusives I'd been missing out on as a primarily XBox gamer. It is absolutely appalling - I've never had a problem with my XBox Series X, One X or Switch.
