A little help please?

EDDIE-BEEF

My TV flickers when a fast moving object is on my screen. for example a football being kicked or a tennis ball being hit.

My Tv is a 42" Clarity and a 100mhz i think?

I think its just a setting i need to change as i am watching it in a wrong format?

I cant find this setting any where!! Please someone help me.

Thank you

Switch off any picture enhancement is the usual advice given, but you'd probably be better off visiting the website of the manufacturer of your television for specific advice.

Clarity is not a make I've heard of. Any idea who the manufacturer is?

Supermarket home brand I think, definitely sold by Tesco.
Clarity TVs are part of a large manufacturing group called Electrosonic Systems Inc and they seem to be better known for telephones.
I can't find anything online for them direct and, like you, I'd never heard of them before this thread.

Its highly possible if its a "cheap supermarket" tv as peope saying above its might not be "good enough"

The trouble is with some cheap tvs, they all say the same thing on the outside VS premium expensive tvs but true to their cost, often have slower processors, cheaper panels. This can make the different between a clear, fast picture or not.

A friend of mine brought a cheap 47" from sainsburys looks very simliar to my £700 LG. Both 1080p full HD, both have 3D.

My LG is CLEARLY smoother, higher quality and the 3D is amazing. The other suffers from little things that make a big different like you mentioned with the screen flickers.


However, if the screen is flicking, do you mean the WHOLE screen or just around the fast moving objects?

Thank you for the replies everyone. It is just the area of movement that flickers. For example the football in mid flight will flicker. I mean the actual ball will flicker as if its going too fast for the tv. Everything else on the screen is fine.

My mate seems to think i have it on the wrong HD setting 1080 or 720 or something like that. I just cant figure out how to resolve this?

Once again Thank you

Are you actually watching it on a HD channel? Like BBC HD or ITV HD?

Before we chuck this cheapo TV in the bin, artifacts round the area of movement (the ball) could be a form of motion enhancement, or noise reduction. It could also be a rubbish signal (or low bandwidth signal), or a rubbish tuner in the set.
EDDIE - have a look through your manual and settings, and see if you can turn off any of the enhancements I mentioned there. Oh, also, Sharpness should be at Zero - sometimes that's in the middle along the bar, sometimes it's far left.

Has this problem always existed from new, or did it start recently?
