Anyone else having this problem?

I just got the Mitsu WD65734 TV and wanted to get started on COD4 :cool:

So I set the Xbox to "1080p" and started playing. After a few seconds the screen started to flicker (or flash)...not really skipping, but more of a, well, flicker. After several of these instances, the screen went black, then came back on and flickered some more. I went back to the control panel of the xbox and put it back to 1080i and started playing again...no issues. :confused:

I have the xbox connected via HDMI cable (through my Onkyo 605 receiver). As far as I can tell there's hardly any difference between the 1080i and 1080p picture....but you know...the TV has 1080p capabilities...I want to play the xbox in 1080p!!! :mad::p

any ideas what this could be due to?????

Let me know if I've managed to leave anything out....thanks!

I have the exact same problem!!

Maybe you should try posting this in the XBOX forum...

Good idea...let see if anyone over there has anything to say about this

:o

Try connecting the XBOX directly to the TV to see if it fixes the problem. Try it with both HDMI cables, the one to the 605 and the one out of the 605.

If using a straight connection does not fix it, try some new HDMI cables. It could be the cables are having a problem with 1080p.

If connecting to the TV does fix the problem with both cables, it may be an issue with the 605. You might try the checking to see if this is a known issue withe the 605, and if there is a firmware upgrade available.

Just some suggestions since I do not have either this TV or an XBOX. Or that model Onkyo for that matter.

Thanks man...I will def do this...

are you a scientist by any chance? haha...your method of deducing the problem is spot on :D

I think it's b/c my receiver (onkyo 605) doesn't passthrough 1080p. I mean, what's the point of having HDMI ports if it won't even passthrough the signal it was meant for. Ya know?

You think this can be fixed via firmware upgrade? :hmm: I will need to see if this can be done....I really hope so.

Nope, not a scientist. Just many years of troubleshooting on aircraft, copiers, software etc.
