Hi,
I got my MI BOX S several month ago. It's been working fine except it keeps flickering on my Hisense 4K TV when playing video. It's weird because:
- Only flickering when playing SDR video with " Hardware decoding ". Unfortunately most stream service are default to that. HDR video is working fine.
- " Software decoding" works fine.
- UI interfaces works fine.
- Never flickering on my 1080p Asus monitor or RCA TV with any setting.
- At the same time, Roku is working fine on my Hisense TV without flickering.
These solution did not work:
- Change cable.
- Dynamic brightness on/off.
- Dynamic contrast on/off.
- HDMI color range auto/full/limit.
- Output format: Ycbcr 420 444 / RGB / 8 bit 10bit.
- HDMI 2.0 mode: standard/enhanced.
However I do find some workaround I wanna share it here:
- Enable SDR-HDR feature: Since it only flickering on SDR video, force it to HDR mode seems a good solution. However it has a tradeoff, the video color shift a bit with SDR-HDR.
- Reduce resolution to 1080p or lower: It did reduce the frequency of flickering, however it still flickering.
- Tune the " color" setting slide bar on the TV: simply tune the value of " color " up and down stop the flickering completely. But it's not permanent, once reboot the TV or MI BOX the flickering comes back.
Any idea?
Software version?mi boxes are full of issues :(
