UN55ES8000 does not display HDMI correctly anymore (it flickers). SmartTV & streaming still works. What is going on? (support site does not work)

I had the same problem the TV started to flicker and the screen had vertical rainbow colored screen. Called support and they told me it was out of warranty and the TV never has this problem. After googling it it appears this is a problem with Samsung TV's. I bought a Sony instead. Threw the Samsung in the trash. Customer service was awful and they lied ever knowing about this problem. But once you google it it is a common consistent problem.

Maybe handshacking, may need new updated hdmi cables. Also the hdmi ports get loose from being on the side, had Samsung repair out to look at my ports and to fix them its 600 bucks. I just moved to a new port which pissed me off because I shouldn't have to pay for a bad design

Mine did the same a few months back. It's a simple cord inside the tv that needs to be replaced. The bad pay is Samsung charges a few to replace it and for the diagnostic. But it's an easy fix takes 5 minutes to switch it out.

Like the other answer make sure you have the latest firmware and also make sure you are using the 1.4 version HDMI cable. I bought mine over a year ago and I did not do an update and I have no issues.

Try the Chromebox on another HDMI monitor or television. If it still has the problem on a different display your Chromebox is bad. Get it replaced under your warranty.

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

Thanks for the feedback, just to update the situation I bought a more expensive HDMI cable made by Belden, same problem no signal when using HDMI. I was going to switch the box as well but I guess this is useless. I guess all you can do is complain until verizon fios comes to my area

Try to check if you are at the right corresponding HDMI input. If that doesn't work try to go to &gt; System preference &gt; displays &gt; click the HDMI output. Hope this work cause mine works fine.

Very similar issue: flickering problem on this 55 inch. This all began about 24 months after purchase. Does anyone have a solution other than calling a service technician and paying for the repair yourself?

1.check tv inout, make sure it's on correct input; 2. If input correct, reboot laptop.3. Still no go, ask refund or exchange. (It is display port to hdmi)

This is not normal operation. I would try different HDMI cables/ports (not plugged in on the other end). A google or two will typically let you know if this is a common issue as well. Good luck!

I've had this problem on blue ray and direct tv. when using the hdmi connection. I am going to call customer support to have them note the problem before I download the firmware update.

There is a service bulletin out for this tv. I just had mine fixed by best buy under warrantee. The motherboard and the cable going to it short out and cause this issue. It will slowly get worse. Service bulletin ASC20130429001

I will have to check on that. I don't believe my tv has any widgets. Looks like the LAN port is just for firmware updates. Thanks for the reply.

Sounds silly but are you sure you have the tv set to the proper input setting? (my tv has 4 hdmi inputs) wish I could be more helpful

have you tried using a higher quality HDMI cable? Also, sometimes those cables can have small breaks in them that are not visable from the outside. And it will cause the source signal to drop.. are you getting a black/blank screen?? Or an error message??

I haven't had any problems myself. Has your TV been updated to the latest firmware?

L Chang,Here is a good link that should clear up the HDMI type. There are also pictures on the left hand side that should help with this. Follow this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMIThanks.

HDCP is copy protection. I would try another source for HDMI... as it may be working fine and rejecting the content you are attempting to play.
