Screen flashes
Problem: You may see the screen flash when:
•
You turn on or restart the HP Digital Entertainment Center. (The screen
flash may occur and continue until the initial startup completes and the
Media Center or desktop appears.)
Or
•
You select the Display Settings, open the Display Properties, or use the
screen adjustment option. (The screen flash may occur and continue until
you close the window.) This type of screen flash occurs normally and appears while the operating system
obtains and processes display resolution information.
Solution: Wait until the flash disappears. Some TV/Displays may flash for several seconds to stabilize.
