I have an Element PLX-4202B. TV works great :shootout: besides the light flicker I get when watching DVD's through my Xbox360 through 480p :headb: . I've checked everything and it all seems good. Anyone have any advice on how I can get it to stop or is it normal. Playing the 360 games through 1080p is picture perfect :rockon: as well as watching TV in 1080i no other issues. I do have a tech coming out to fix a "champagne sparkle" issue. The set displays red, blue and green sparkles all over the picture. Not really noticable if you're not looking for it but can be seen. Anyhoo thanks for any info on the flicker.

I've actually noticed it on both component 1 and 2. So its not just dvd's. Component 1 has my tuner and antenna hooked up and recieves digital broadcasts. I don't really notice it as much as I do when watching dvds. Component 2 is hooked up to the 360 and I havent noticed any flickering during game play. But that could be due to fast pace game play.

Element Plasma TV sucked. Tech said you get what you pay for and that would be crap. Due to the fact that Element is a 3rd party TV maker there is no replacement parts avaliable anywhere. Returned the TV for a Samsung 40 inch 720p LCD, lovely TV.
