TV Issue

[dave]

I don't get a 'flash', per se, but I do get a 'small' (maybe 2 inch) translucent 'dot' every couple days. It lasts for less than a second and comes in twos and threes -- never in the same spot, thankfully. I'm not at all sure its the TV (70" LG), but it is quite the enigma. I thought I was seeing things until my wife started noticing it, also.

I think you needs to call Ghost Hunters I think your TV is haunted!

Finally got my tv exchanged at BB last night after a royal pain in the ass back and forth with Sharp. I get the tv home, start watching it and WTF the white flash appears again on the new tv. Royally annoyed. I called Comcast this morning and they are letting me swap out my HDMI cable and X1 cable box but if this doesn't solve the issue I am out of ideas. I just don't get how two tvs could be screwed up but yet my friend who has the same one works perfectly fine. I have two seprate HDMIs, one for the Comcast and the other for the playstation 3 but notice the white flash while watching Netflix using the ps3 as well. Is there some sort of setting to adjust on an LED tv that I am not aware of that can fix this? End of rant, thanks

When I turn on my older Sharp...it sometimes has a white line all the way across the top. I shut it off and turn it back on...all better.

It infrequent but happens.
It's old enough now where it's not a concern.
Years ago when I researched it...there was not much to find.
