Screen is flickering/going black when I use my PS3 or desktop computer (both hooked in using HDMI cables) but not when I just use it to watch TV with the local cable company.

SOURCE: Trying to hook compaq presario laptop to philips lcd digital tv

hey fox,
sounds to me like a connection problem. If the compaqs output is vga, you need to convert the input (tv side ) to hdmi, component, s-vidio... what ever you can find. Typically when you hook up your computer to a flat screen or such, its best to try to use the hdmi ports or the rpg. But if thats not available you need to take the outout from your laptop ( whatever type that might be and input it into your flat screen tv. If you input laptop into tv under ( eg..HDMI) then when you VIEW it you need to select the correct source on your flat screen. Such as hdmi or pcmi or rpg.I know that the do sell alot of cables that adapt from one type of connection to another. Typically only one cable is required from the laptop to the flat screen. If you think about it you are only using the flat screen as a monitor.

SOURCE: PS3 will not work on new tv using HDMI cable ?

you have to re sync your playstation when you go from HDMI to regular wires.

after you connect ps3 to tv.
hold down the power buttondown on the ps3 for like 5 seconds (1 beep then another ),
after you hear a second beep the ps3 automoatically adjusts itself to whatever it's connected to.

SOURCE: my samsung, A400 50 in. plasma tv. while watching

Hello! Unfortunately samsungs have a weakness in their driver boards, particularly the Ysustain video driver. This needs looking at by an experienced engineer, who will be able to diagnose this swiftly, and hopefully fairly cheaply. I have personally repaired over a dozen samsungs with this problem, and prices for parts without service range from 50 off the net , to 200 from main dealer. These are good sets, its a shame this problem is seen time and again.

Testimonial: "thanks for your quick answer - I was hoping it would be something else (cheaper). will try that!"

I have a 32" RCA LCD tv , rlc3210 power input says

Is it hooked up with HDMI cable?

If so try unplugging the HDMI cable and re plugging the cable in, sometimes those cables work loose and if they are not tight, it will cause your screen to flicker. Happens to my TV once in awhile.

I have Sony STR-DH810 Hook up PS3 and Comcast HD Dvr with HDMI. I have Mitsubishi wd-65733 DLP TV. When I am playing my ps3 the screen keeps flickering black more and more until it goes completely black...

I had this problem. If not exact very similar. My video would look like snow for a brief moment, then go black. It was basically loosing sync I believe. I swapped HDMI cables with another component, which resolved the issue. So the issue was bad / cheap HDMI cables. I've since replaced the one, and look to buy slightly better cables. no need to break the bank, just don't go el cheapo. The ones that work great were only $9.99 at Fry's Electronics.

Playstation 3 Flickers when set to 1080P on 32LG70

This may help... open Display settings, scroll down to the Deep Color option... switch it from automatic to off. So far this is the only solution that I have found

Playstation 3 Flickers when set to 1080P

It sucks to see ALLLLLLL these solutions, when I have the solution. Turn off DEEP COLOR in the video settings. It will immediately stop. If it doesn't, then you don't have the typical snow/flickering problem.

Ps3 using digital optical and hdmi cables together

There is a conflict in the fact that HDMI gives you the digital surround sound without the need for the optical lead and when you allocate the optical for the sound thats when the conflict starts, you can only use one or the other.
