Not sure what you mean by flickering... pixelating? this may be a question for Samsung...

I have never had this particular problem. Occasionally we have problems with it pixelating, but that was our cable/dish service-not the television.

I think you need to attach those electrical clamps to the cord. I can't think of the proper name.

I have not experienced a problem with the light flickering. The only suggestion I could offer is to check the wiring at the plug and wall outlet as well as the connection to the base of the light. If all else fails, I would suggest returning the light. Hope this helps

Thats weird, i'm not sure, I have had a few different issues that might be cable related... just flickering out and back in. Also sometimes after being on too long... it will cut out then I have to leave it off for a bit and turn it back on maybe overheating. I have not seen this issue yet, I would change the cable, if not that probably RMA.

Mine flickers a bit no matter which bulb I have in. Don't know why or if it has happened to anyone else but overall it works

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

Mine flickered SO badly, I had to replace it. I do NOT recommend this monitor. Samsung was NO HELP whatsoever. It's very likely the last Samsung (anything) I ever buy. It's too bad, I used to like Samsung products before this fiasco.

All the warranty questions are answered on there website. I had the same flickering issues. I'm on my third and final coast.

i have the LN46C630 model with same flickering problem occuring just after warranty expired. technician fixed it by cutting one "jumper" (metal wire about 1/2 inch long) located on the power supply circuit board. takes 5 minutes to fix. technician said samsung issued service bulletin that told repair techs how to fix it. you can do it yourself with a screwdriver, small wirecutters. i could send a photo if you wantok, not sure how to post the photo here, but here's what the technician did for $150...unscrew 17 screws, remove the back cover to the TVfind the power supply circuit board, that's the one your TV's power cord plugs into. On the power supply circuit board, upper left corner, to the right of and below the large 46", there is a metal jumper labelled JP852 that is no more than 2 cm in length. it connects something labelled 'Input rating' and another labeled 'COLD'. the technician used wire cutters and cut the JP852 jumper. that solved my flickering issue, TV works great now. tech said that every size TV in this class of samsung has the same design flaw and can be fixed like this. good luck. i would post a photo, but can't figure it out."&lt;/i&gt;

For all those who have experienced this problem - did Samsung fix this by replacing/repairing the frame? I am seriously considering buying this TV, and this is the only issue that is making me hesitate.Thanks

I do not have that problem, and have 3 Samsung TV's in house. I would suggest calling Samsung direct, or store from whom you purchased.

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.

Called Samsung but they weren't helpful....without an extended warranty, I'm out of luck. Only bright spot: It hasn't gotten worse. Now we're in the habit of turning on the TV, leaving for half an hour, and then coming back to it. It usually resolves by then...usually. But it's a big pain. Definitely never buying another Samsung. Let me know if you hear anything.

If you call Samsung now they're aware of the problem and are taking care of it. My TV has been out of warantee for about a year now but they're sending a tech to fix it at no cost as long as it is indeed the capacitors that are faulty.

No, the general symptom that would cause one to replace this part would be the monitor works but the image is very dark. I think flicker rate might be associated with the video cards scan rate such as 60 hertz. The higher the hertz the better the flicker rate or refresh rate. Play with different screen resolutions and refresh rates to get a smooth screen image.

I am thinking about buying this TV but, based on several reviews, plasma TV's experience problems like "burn ins". I would like to plug the TV in and watch it ,with the worry of "breaking it in". Perhaps plasma' are not meant for me. Any reactions?

So far I haven't had any problems with red light run continuously flickering, it might have a short in it. It not suppose to work like that and I would return it for a new one. This Deluxe brand was rated high, it goes from low to high and my wife and I love it. Contact the seller and ask to return it for another one and they will honor it with a UPS return slip. I hope that help you. Aaron G.

I cannot recommend this monitor. It has a defect and flickers after you turn it on or take it out of sleep mode. This is a known issue and Samsung hasn't corrected it.
