How to Fix Screen Flickering on your PS5 Pro (Fast Tutorial)
8If you’re experiencing screen flickering on your PS5 Pro, this can be caused by settings, cable issues, or display compatibility. Here are steps to troubleshoot and fix screen flickering:
1. Check HDMI Cable and Connection
Ensure the HDMI cable is firmly connected to both the PS5 Pro and your TV.
Use the HDMI 2.1 cable provided with the PS5 Pro, as it’s designed for high-bandwidth outputs like 4K and 8K at high refresh rates.
If possible, try a different HDMI 2.1 cable to see if the flickering is caused by a faulty cable.
2. Change Video Output Settings on PS5 Pro
Adjusting the video output settings can often resolve flickering.
To change video settings:
Go to Settings - Screen and Video - Video Output.
Set Resolution to Automatic, or try lowering it to 1080p to see if the flickering stops.
Change 4K Video Transfer Rate to -1 or -2 under Screen and Video if you’re using a 4K TV. This can help if the flickering is caused by HDMI transfer issues.
3. Disable HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Some TVs may have compatibility issues with HDR on the PS5 Pro, which can cause screen flickering.
To disable HDR:
Go to Settings - Screen and Video - Video Output - HDR.
Set HDR to Off and see if this resolves the flickering.
4. Adjust VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) Settings
VRR synchronizes the refresh rate between your TV and the PS5 Pro but may cause flickering if the TV doesn’t fully support VRR.
To adjust VRR:
Go to Settings- Screen and Video - Video Output.
Turn off VRR and test if the flickering stops.
Alternatively, if VRR is off, try turning it on if your TV supports it, as it may stabilize the refresh rate.
5. Check for Software Updates on PS5 Pro and TV
Ensure both the PS5 Pro and your TV have the latest firmware updates.
For PS5 Pro: Go to Settings - System - System Software - System Software Update and Settings and check for updates.
For your TV: Refer to your TV’s settings menu or consult the manufacturer’s website to check for firmware updates.
6. Try a Different HDMI Port on the TV
Some HDMI ports on TVs have different bandwidth capacities. Switch to another HDMI port, ideally one labeled for high-speed or HDMI 2.1, if available.
7. Disable Enhanced Format (HDMI Deep Color) on the TV
If your TV has an option for Enhanced Format or HDMI Deep Color, try disabling it. This setting can sometimes cause flickering with certain HDMI connections.
Go to your TV’s Settings - HDMI Settings and set HDMI Deep Color or Enhanced Mode to Off for the HDMI port used by your PS5 Pro.
