I'm not sure if this is the same question as has been asked elsewhere, so please accept apologies in advance if it is : as far as I can tell, other questions seem to relate to a slightly different issue. In Windows XP, it used to be the case that the text underneath a desktop icon...

I have searched this forum and in fact the entire internet trying to get an answer to this problem. Although many have posted video problems mine appears to be unique. When I start up Windows 7 on my 50" Samsung LN52A65 using HDMI there is a lot of noise and slight flicker on the screen...
