    Question:

    How can I fix the screen flicker issue on my PlayStation 5?

     

    Answer:

    To resolve the screen flicker issue on your PlayStation 5, follow these steps:

     

    Go to Settings on your PS5 console.

    Choose Screen and Video (alternatively called 'Video Output').

    Select 4K Video Transfer Rate.

    Choose one of the available options:

    Automatic: Allows the PS5 to select the best option based on your TV's capabilities.

    HDMI 2.0 (18 Gbps): Restricts the video output bandwidth to the HDMI 2.0 specification, which may help reduce screen flicker and other signal issues.

    HDMI 1.4 (10.2 Gbps): Restricts the video output bandwidth to the HDMI 1.4 specification, which may help reduce screen flicker and other signal issues.

    Once you've selected an option, check if the screen flicker issue has been resolved.

     

    Note: If the problem persists, try experimenting with different 4K video transfer rate settings until you find the one that works best for your specific setup.
