Q.
A. I have had my Samsung LCD TV (46" 60Hz) for the last year or so and I couldn't be happier. For inputs I only have an aerial antenna and it is able to pick up the major networks in HD. The picture quality looks great. A friend of mine brought over his PS3 this past weekend and we through in a blu-ray. He said it the picture was a marked improvement over his LG (not sure the specs on his TV though).
Two LCD HDTV brands cause a "flickering" problem?
Q. have had two brands of LCD HDTVs in the last 4 months. The first two lcds were samsung; my current tv is a sharp. The problem all of them have is a wierd "flickering" on screen. Now the flicker only occurs on certain images while in motion. Trees are a perfect example. Trees flicker with light while the rest of the picture does not. Often people's hair will flicker with light too.
I don't know how to fix this problem because I don't know what the problem is called. When I type a search for "flicering," I don't pull up threads which deal with the kind of flickering I experience. Once again, the whole screen doesn't flicker, just what appears to be images that are in motion and are hard to "render."
Please help me! I thought it was just a samsung thing, but it happens on my new sharp too. Also, the problem happens on hd cable box and my ps3.

A. Maybe it has to be the brands you're dealing with because my Polaroid doesn't do that at all. The only problem I had in the beginning was that my images had a green hue which couldn't be corrected even with color correction. Eventually, after calling the serviceman, I'm not sure what I did but the color was just fine from then on (I think it was the threat of having it serviced;-). In any case, the last thing I did was unplugged all my cords, including the power, and reattached everything. After that I had no problems. In short, it hasn't happened to my brand so I suggest maybe getting a lesser known brand. I've found that underdogs put quality into their products because they have to prove themselves to a subjective audience as opposed to big wigs who can now put out anything set at a price point they command and sometimes a lesser brand does the job sufficiently if not better. Just my two cents...
