Hi there,

Until last night my setup was fine, but I turned on my PC this morning and my HDTV has pink shapes flicker up the screen (they look like very tiny lines of text, but I don't think they are), and a thin pink distortion line at the very top of the display when I play fullscreen games or video.

I have a 780ti graphics card, with a primary monitor being hooked up with DVI, and my HDTV as a secondary monitor using HDMI. I've been using this setup for months, either swapping between screens, or extending the desktop so I can watch things on one while working on the other. Last night everything was fine when I turned the PC off, but this morning I have the flicker issue.

I have tried reinstalling the graphic drivers, from clean, but that didn't help. Unless I sleepwalked and did something to the PC in the night, I have no idea what's happened between midnight and 8am this morning. Is my graphics card faulty? (both screens are 1920 x 1080 60).

I just noticed that when I reduce the refresh rate of the HDTV to 50 the problem goes away (but the display looks awful). It ran at 60 fine until today.

Many thanks,
Jason.

Solved. Faulty TV. One of the HDMI ports seems to be a dud: anything plugged into that particular port has flicker.
