"Now the flickering and blinking occur only one about once an hour. Problem fixed!"

TBH, I really don't consider that fixed.

Re: Roku ultra flickering screen

Something else you could try to deal with flickering on your roku is to change the display type under settings (Go to settings > Select Display Type > select arrow over > will give you a selection of formats like 720p tv, 1080p tv, etc. select 1080p tv or one of the other ones. One should work for your program). I switched mine from auto detect to 1080p tv and that resolved my flickering issues. None of the other tricks worked for me. My advice would be to change the display format to the one that works best for the specific program your watching and switch it back when your done with that program.

Make sure your going to settings in the roku and not your tv settings.

Re: Roku ultra flickering screen

After remodeling my living room which required the Roku device and TV to be disconnected I started having flickering from my high end Samsung TV from 2012. The cable seemed to be working fine. The image would appear fine, until a ad appeared then would stay flickering for the remaining duration unless I press home on the remote, in which case the flickering stops and the Roku seems to be operating normally until the next ad. I already had the auto refresh rate off on the Roku device by default. I went into the Samsung image settings and changed from dynamic mode to standard and the flickering immediately stopped. I also set the auto resolution detect setting on my tv to its native resolution. Right now the flickering has not returned.

Re: Roku ultra flickering screen

This is it. This is the fix. Thanks dude. Our Roku doesn't have the HDR sub sampling option so I only toggled the Auto Refresh rate to off. Worked wonderfully. The issue we had was browsing through apps with auto previews, the Roku would change resolution to I guess match the resolution of the preview video. This takes about a second and a black screen is displayed. Very annoying. Seemed to happen after a Roku update a few months ago. We almost trashed a perfectly good Roku. Thanks again @Samsung5User
