How many have 'blinking' issue with Samsung led tv

I just purchased the Samsung UN40D6000S 40" LED TV from best buy. I logged in to netflix, while watching a movie the TV did 5 (too black) soft blinks. I am on my 30 day period so I can return it. Great TV but will this lead to a bigger issue.

I bought a Samsung 46" Class LED 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Internet-Connected, 1.2" ultra-slim,
UN46D6003. It blinks when watching Neflix. I hooked up a Roku box to this TV and the blinking stopped.
I called Samsung and they spent 3 hours with me today blaming everyone else (internet provider and then Netflix).
I took the Samsung wireless adapter back to Best Buy and exchanged it. Stil having the same problem. Something is wrong with this TV.

UN55D6003 bought from best buy. Latest firmware, LED 1080p 240Hz trumotion. Only blInks when streaming Netflix. I have it connected via Samsung LinkStick powered by a 15mbps cable modem Internet, via a wrt54gl LinkStick wireless router. The issue is with the Netflix app for Samsung tv in this case I think. The app doesn't buffer out in advance, and blinks when switching to and fro SD-HD... Sigh.....

I have just started having this blinking or motion-blur or stutter or whatever you call it the past few days on my Samsung 40 in. HD LED (UN40D5003) that is about 2 1/2 months old. I am connected to Directv. I have HDMI cable running from Directv HD DVR to a new Onkyo receiver and an HDMI cable from a Sony Blu-Ray to the Onkyo receiver. Then an HDMI cable from Onkyo to the TV. It worked fine for a couple of months until now. Sometimes it is the whole screen not really blinking but portions of the screen like fast moving basketball players or a golf ball or a golfers swing not moving smoothly but instead creating a kind of stuttering action or shaky movement. Don't know how to best describe it. It is very bad on fast sports action and particularly bad on the FOX regional sports channels. But is also bad on more static scenes like news and sports broadcasts. It tends to disappear on certain standard def. commercials. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. Is this just happening on LED TV's. John

I am not doing any viewing of Netflix through internet. So I don't know any thing about this screen going black and other things you folks are talking about. But I have not seen any blinking, stuttering, motion blur, etc. on any of the 3 or four Blu-Ray DVD's I've viewed. Doesn't this have to do with the fact that DVD's are only transmitting at 24 hz rather than 60 or 120? Isn't this a problem with TV having problems with keeping up with 60 or 120?? From Jrbshort again.

My Samsung un5507000 lfx7a just starting blinking last Saturday. I run thru an cable box to an Onkyo 805 av receiver. The tv will blink off , the Smart tv icon appears, and it can do this once or a few times. Called Samsung and they set me up with service and They told me it was a processor problem that they have seen before.

My Samsung LE46C580J1 has a blinking/flashing problem. It started with the TV picture in dynamic mode, then all the other modes (natural, movie and standard) had the same problem. It seems to start flashing/blinking after the TV has been on for a while. Sometimes the flashing stops on its own, but sometimes I have to press the picture mode button to get it to stop. I purchased the TV in August 2011 and it has been repaired twice. First they replaced the board. Three weeks later the problem occured again. Our TV was taken away for the second time and this time they replaced the panel. That was three weeks ago. Guess what? Today the picture is flashing again on dynamic mode. It's nothing to do with the Sky box or HDMI cable, because the problem occurs on the scart and av with the DVD player and Nintendo Wii. An electrical pal has told us he heard Samsung were having a problem with a faulty batch of chips, but I can't find any more info on this. Thankfully we have a protection plan, however it is all very frustrating, as the repairs can take up to 3 weeks and each time it conks out we have to wait in for the repair man to collect it and bring it back.

Has anyone else encountered a problem like this?

Connecting my Motorola razr via an HD dock to the HDMI of my TV. While the Motorola dock is plugged in and the phone is connected (or any signal on the HDMI line, as I have gotten the same results with my phone connected directly, my ps3 connected and a random blueray player) the digital input blinks randomly, almost identical to your desciption

Happened to us! Ended up being a switch in the tv that cost a few bucks!

Afterabout an hour the flickering starts an it is very quick about one per second. I dont think we should be paying very good money for something to last les than 3yrs.

In fact I think it is against EU rules that say when you purchase a product yu have a right to expect to work for a period of time that is reasonable. So I think that this is unreasonable period to pay for. say £350 per year for an electrical product is VERY unreasonable.

Hi, I have the same problem. I have my T.V. in my room and notice it mostly while I'm bed trying to catch some sleep. This can prove to be somewhat irritating and annoying. While I do not have an ultimate solution for this problem I do have a temporary one. I've noticed that when the Samsung logo begins to flash, I retaliate by flicking the little analog button in the back into any direction (without actually pressing it to prevent it from turning on). This has always stopped that annoying blinking. Also I believe I once just pressed the down arrow in the controller and it also proved effective. This is all I can give you. If you find an actual solution, let me know please.

Got the same problem. Mine occurs on regular Dish Network Regular TV viewing. Mostly initially when turned on , then it subsides. Noticed it more when playing back DVR recordings. In some cases it triggers the dish box to reset and acquire again. Any new help on this. Don't want to beat a dead horse. Mine is only 4 mos old , I may see if Best Buy would refund or make an accommodation on another brand.

Now I am facing this blinking problem in my samsung plasma tv. The model number is PA43H4900AR. My problem is like this. Whenever I switch on/off any electrical equipments in my house or there is any sparking occurs anywhere due to any reason, then tv screen goes "off" and again becomes "on" after 3 to 5 seconds. This becomes very very unpleasant when seeing 3d movies. Because every time it blinks, the 3d setting gone away, the movie becomes two equal halves. Again it is to set to 3d view.
This blinking problem occurs only when the tv is used as pc monitor via hdmi or connected to pc via wifi and running videos of pc, but it is not occured when running movies from pen drive or dvd player or running as tv from cable or set top box. Normally the blinking occurs more frequently between 11am to 11pm and during stormy atmosphere. So please tell me what is the solution of this as I cannot use my pc with this tv. Thank you.

Samsung UN55JU7500 Ultra 4K Curve

Mine does this too! We just bought the TV just under 2 months ago. It never did it before it did an automatic update. Now it does it all the time. The sound bar decides to not work all the time too. My boyfriend is pissed. I exchanged my Comcast DVR thinking that was the problem and I have brand new 4k HDMI wires. Mine does it mostly when watching regular cable or HD channels. Has anyone found a fix for this yet???

My TV is a Samsung 3DTV and it sometimes blinks at the top of the screen (Black). What I find sometimes surprisingly helps is to smack the top of the TV. If this is only at the top, not the whole screen, you should do so. For some reason this actually fixes the TV for a few minutes.

This has just started for me today!

TV model is UN32EH5300F

I Have a Samsung UN40FH6030 40 inch TV I use for Computer,TV and Xbox. The TV works good no Blinking but the Xbox and Computer will Go black along with no sound for around 5 seconds and come back. This happened right away but the TV was from Tiger Direct and they said there's only 3 months of warranty if it's from Tiger Direct not one year as they are not a Samsung dealer and the TV is considered a referb.
I noticed that when the refrigerator in my room turns on or the power switch to the light is activated it also does the Blinking. I wonder if the capacitors in the power circuit of the TV aren't isolating the 120volt wall power good enough.
I heard from the TV repairman that was about to come over but cancelled when they found that the TV was from Tiger Direct had said that they change the TV's mother board. Most likely the capacitors are on that board. Others have stated that the LED screen is bad but if that were the case it would have the problem when watching the TV also.
I wonder if plugging the TV and the Computer, Xbox into a Backup Power supply would fix the problem. The backup battery is like a big capacitor. I might try that I could always take back the Backup power supply if it doesn't work.

We have a Samsung UN32H5203 LED Smart TV just under 1yr.old in our master BR. It replaces a 32 Samsung LED non Smart TV which we had for 2 yrs w/o any issues but moved it to a guest BR as a 15 yr old TV died in that room. For 4 mos. now this smart TV keeps blinking and Samsung tech. support insists on blaming the power co.cable co. and the wiring from the HDMI to home coaxial. I mentioned that I see on the Internet other people are having the same issues and the tech states that you can't believe this Internet info. I did a additional 1 yr warr. thru the seller and plan to contact them for help. After 6 samsung products in my home there will not be a 7th

My Samsung UN60J6300 started doing this recently. It is 3-4 weeks old and didn't do it when I first hooked up my computer. Upon initial setup I changed the device type and name of that HDMI input to "PC" as the manual instructs.

Mine doesn't blink often and when it does it blacks out for no more than 1 second. More like 1/2 a second. I haven't tried switching cables because it didn't happen initially. Only recently have I noticed it while streaming TV or using my computer. At first I thought it was a bad scene transition but it also happens while using the computer for browsing the internet.

I have never seen this issue when mirroring my phone screen, playing a BluRay movie, or just watching TV. Could it have something to do with one specific HDMI input port or the device type/name being changed? It happens rarely so I wouldn't describe it as an annoying issue but if it gets worse I'll return the TV to Sam's Club before the 90 day return period ends!

I have a problem with my tv turning off than coming back on with vertical lines. I called Comcast they replaced box and hdmi cables worked for 3 weeks and back doing it again. Samsung is really going down hill. I bought nothing but Samsung my whole life and own 3 led 3d smart tvs now and they all 3 have problems.
