1080p causes HDTV monitor to flicker black on MacPro, any ideas?


i aquired flat screen toshiba hdtv , figured i'd give go @ trying use monitor. i'm running dvi hdmi cable mac pro (2,1 "clovertown" 2007, 8gb ram) monitor. it's running 1080p native. , no, not using hdmi run audio.

problem screen flickers black .5 seconds normal. tends when open new window in safari, or scroll down on page. happens when scroll in itunes too, it's not safari problem.

i've spent past few days tinkering refresh rates , turning overscan on & off. still flickers black in every configuration.

i've changed resolutions 1080p 1360 x 768 (60hz ntsc). has no flickering issues, i've concluded issue caused 1080p setting.

unfortunately 1360 x 768 way big , amount of space on 1080p setting acceptable choice.

know causes 1080p flicker? or if there workaround?

 

some tvs don't have great hdmi compatibility i'm afraid say, i've used mbp in countless hdtvs preview work , once had problem tv refused believe there input. happens unfortunately, thing can suggest make sure cables fine , go lower resolution has no issues.
