as title,
got a new 37" samsung on Friday and it has 4 HDMi ports,

in the instruction book of the samsung it says using a hdmi cable thats not 1.3 will cause flicker!

I connected the BTvision to HDMI 1 and got flicker, also got it on HDMI 2,

If I connect to HDMI 3 (DVI) port no flicker, no flicker on HDMI4 either.

Then, when I read instructions again, it said connecting an external devise use the HDMI 3 (DVI) port.


Does that sound correct to use port 3 for the BTVision connection, I've put the blu-ray on HDMi2.


anyone else had flicker?

even using a very expensive hdmi cable (pure-AV) for the bt vision to the samsung at port 1, still gave flicker, just the same as the £15 HDMi cable I got from Wilkos!!

If it works leave it at that, I wouldn't think it would cause flicker as btvision doesn't output fullhd, just. A 1.3 lead.

But when I've fitted bt vision before I've not noticed flickers on peoples tv

Not had flicker - my BTV box goes into HD port 1 (samsung A656 40") using a cheapy argos cable . No idea if its 1.3?

this samsung is the LE37B551A

taking tv back this evening as i've spotted a faulty pixel in the middle of the screen, very annoying!

picked up another one last night and it has no faulty screen!

it also has a quick guide to setting it up, saying ports 1 & 2 are for HD device connections with HDMi
port 3&4 are for non transmitting HD HDMi products (all 4 ports will take HD HDMi products though)


so that clears that up LoL
