Picture Shaking The picture shakes on this TV. Doesn't do it all the time. Thought it was the cable but it also does it when I am watching a DVD. Called Sony to find out if there was anything that could be done and they gave me a repair shop to call. Called the repair shop, $220 to look at it and if the problem can't be seen, I lose the money. Only 5 years old!

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other appliances or big speakers near the TV. The problem is intermittent and is driving me crazy. It happened again on Sunday when I turned the TV on. I unplugged the TV and let it cool down for about a half hour. Plugged it back in and it was having the same problem. I turned it back off for a few hours and turned it back on and everything was fine. I am at a loss.

    Thanks for the input! I will give it a try. Have a good one and I'll post again if it works.

Do you have any big speakers or some other appliance near the TV?

Magnetic fields make the screen images 'shake'.

    Ok, this could be (since I worked in a TV Engineering department once); that YOUR TV was supposed to be shipped elsewhere (South America, Canada, anywhere else); it works like this:

    The earth has electromagnetic fields which change depending on your coordinates, and there are QA tests that resonate and tune the TV to perform at certain frequencies depending on what part of the earth it is, if you live in the USA and take your TV to South Mexico or Columbia, you'll get that intermittent view or even a fuzzy screen.

    The majority of TVs are made in Tijuana, Mexico (Sony, Phillips, LG, Sharp, name it); and shipped all over the world.

    "Funny" I used to say, "a TV is a TV, it should work ANYWHERE!" It does, but it will not display the same everywhere.

    It happens, you should take your TV to your vendor and have it changed for another one (preferably from another shipment lot). You might not be the only one with that problem with that same TV model.

    Hopefully that will do the trick, a TV for your geographic region.

Picture is shaking during live events

If its just live events, I'm going to assume its your cable/satellite provider. If you watch blu-ray, DVDs and it doesn't shake your TV is fine.

The first step is to determine whether it's the LCD display, the image or the video feed from your cable or satellite provider. Make sure all your connections are secure and not
To test the LCD display, open your menu options to see if that shakes. If it doesn't then it's not a hardware problem and your TV is fine.

If your menu does shake, unplug everything from the TV. You will need to test if you have possible inference from other devices. One by one plug your devices in and view the menu for it to start shaking. This is one possible solution to the shaky image.

Again, other possible solution is your cable or satellite providers feed is shaky. You need to call them and inform them of the issue. A replacement receiver could solve the issue.

HDMI only works after warming up??

The HDMI inputs do a lot of hand shaking and while hand shaking they sometimes miss the grip. It is all about data and communication not being seen or understood. Sometimes it is a Software issue and the TV and or Dish Box needs the HDMI Software upgraded if available for the respected models. If the Component cables work well and they should, I would just use them. The picture quality is just as good and it works every time.
Hope this helps,

TV picture is shaking up and down.

Try unplugging any devices near the TV one by one and see if that helps.
I had the same problem with my picture shaking on all HD channels and found that it was my land line phone interfering with the signal.
Hope that helps!

I have a HLN617W Samsung television. The picture shakes bad. When I put it on pip where you can watch 2 screens at one time, on the left is real shaky and the right is good for about 20 minutes and then it...

Two boards can cause that kind of problem in Samsung HL-N617W, either power supply or digital board.
Need to swap above said boards to confirm what board is causing problem or inspect closely for leaky electrolytic capacitors and replace them with same ratings.
Hope this info will help you.
Thanks.
