No flicker, the led light goes completely off. I've had mine for over a year - no problems.

Thanks. I will check out that issue. I have had the Samsung LN-T5265F for LESS THEN 4 MONTHS and have had 3 problems already. No picture, only sound. Lasts for a day then it seems fine again. Got a frimware update last time. Now, its wait a week for service man to show again and hope it works again tomorrow. Now I know why I have stayed away from anything Samsung for the last 30 years....

I have flickering problem in a different brand, from day one. Square Perfect has worked without flickering though. I have them on about 6 hours everyday for the last 25 months. I wonder if yours is a one off, or if there is a bad batch out.

This exact thing happened to my dad's model D7000 64. It was still under warranty so a tech came out and fixed it. He let him know it was a simple panel (or some sort or faulty component) replacement and the TV was and had been as good as new. Samsung (or any knowledgeable technician) should be able to tell you what you need. Hope this helps...~JCN

Mine was turning off and then automatically turns on in few mins. Most of these problems in Samsung TVs are due to its capacitors in the power board. I dont know if your TVs issue is the same but looks like due to capacitors. I would just try this kit and it is not that hard to replace them. The kit generally has more that what is required. I just replaced all in my mother board that matched what is in the kit and it worked for me.

Make sure your connection is stable, seated well and CLEAN. Take a pencil eraser to clean the contacts if needed. if anyone in the house smokes it coats your electronics. Rubbing alcohol is also helpful. if the flickering continues I would contact amazon for a replacement as you may have a broken wire.

I too have the crackling problem and my PNB450 was built also built in January. The crackling happens without the TV actually being on and is totally tied to the temperature fluctuations in my living room. To add insult to injury, I have 1 dead pixel almost smack-dab in the center of the screen. I can't decide whether I want to return it or not, especially since I can't get another PNB450 or the equivalent panasonic (tcp42x1) for the same price. I'm running out of time though, 1 more week. Other than these issues, I like the set in every way. Not sure if it's worth the hassle to return it to Amazon. I too have the crackling problem and my PNB450 was built also built in January.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

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 have the same problem too. I just bought this LED 55 in for 2 months and it is making horrible buzzing sound. With the backlight setting to 10, the sound is very obvious, and it will get louder as I watch TV longer, like more than 1 hour.I bought service warranty with Frys, the technician came in and tried to replace the power supply because he thought it was the problem. Turn out the problem was not caused by the power supply but the TV itself he said.I just opened a ticket against Samsung, the Engineer will come over next week to take a look.

this is a ballast/inverter problem related to florescent backlight, period. you can either replace entire LCD unit or exchange for another model/brand or same model and hope the next set is better--not all will do it.

I purchased a Samsung 46 inch Smart TV and it also crackles and pops as it warms up or cools down after it is turned off. Very annoying. I have loosened all the screws in the back, re-tightened them all, even put wd-40 on them, loosened them again, etc. etc. hoping it would ease the problem. No such luck. They use a cheap plastic casing which expands and contracts and the TV warms up or cools down. A brand new TV that costs $1000.00 should not do this! While the picture is great, the cracking makes it to irritating to watch. This weekend the TV is going to be returned. I'm going to try another maker. Samsung, take note.

Make sure you buy the Samsung brand and not one of the off-brands. Same thing happened to us, repeatedly. Local TV repairman hooked us up with the correct bulb. Bulb is much more expensive but at least you won't be replacing it again. Good Luck!

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.

Did you experience this crackling when you turned the TV on too? I have a Samsung 4671 and it crackles when I turn it on and off. I actually returned the first TV and the second TV crackles more, which makes me think it may not be the power supply. However, what did you have to do to remedy the problem?

I don't really have a good answer for you. If you look through some of the reviews on here, I think somebody has a some calibrations that you could try. Here is another set you can try from this webpage http://www.avsforum.com/t/1438531/my-samsung-un55es7100-calibration-runsdown#post_24285145 but as the forum explains, this is just a baseline since every tv is different. To have paid this much for this tv, I think mine is messed up or has issues with lighting board in it because in dark scenes, it is very noticeable in showing a flicker from either being dark or a lighter black. Samsung is supposedly going to send a tech out and look at it under warranty and hopefully they fix it and the messed up wifi issue.
