LCD tv goes blank

Jul 8, 2005 7:01AM PDT

During some HD programs, through Comcast, my 32" Phillips TV goes blank when the show has bright flashes of light occurring...like flash photography on CSI. Anyone have any thoughts as to the problem and/or cure? It's still under warranty.

Keep in mind that HD tv reacts differently than analog tv does when you have poor or lose of the signal. Dose this happen on non digital channels? John

No, it doesn't. Some bright ads are washed out as well.
