Black Screen/Lines Flicker?

[Link]

So, here's something weird. On my HDTV and in Big Picture mode, the game on three separate occasions would have a weird screen flicker and eventually turn the entire screen black, sometimes lines would "stutter" and repeat themselves as well. Funny thing is, it'd look totally fine on my regular monitor (I have the displays duplicated.)

All I had to do to fix the problem is a quick ALT+TAB. The first time it happened, I unplugged and replugged the HDTV and that just resulted in my primary PC monitor turning black. Once again, only solution was ALT+TAB. Judging by all the search results I found about black/white screens I'm guessing this is a weird problem with just the Game of Thrones game? I only ask this because this is one of the few games I've played with my new Graphics Card, the other being Heroes of the Storm (appeared to play fine) and the Borderlands Tell Tale game, which had absolutely no problems, although I can't remember if I played that in Big Picture mode or not.

I don't think it's a hardware problem - I have the same problem.
And it's not Game of Thrones, it seems to be a problem with the Telltale graphics engine!
Funny enough, the game Jurassic Park did work on my system already, changes I've made:
- Replaced HDD by SSD
- Upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10
No problems what so ever with any other game; even Telltale's Back to the Future did work fine.
But searching for "telltale flicker" resolves in many hits regarding many different system configurations and Telltale games.

Any ideas?

Interesting Story: I eventually fixed this issue by buying a new television. I changed absolutely nothing in my computer, but I switched over to a Samsung Smart TV and I haven't had the issue since.

This also occurred to me while playing Final Fantasy 7 on PC, so it wasn't exclusive to Telltale. I also solved my problem before switching TVs to playing my games in Windowed mode.

Read something just like this before, too...

Must've something to do with the refresh rate I think (which I can't adjust in Jurassic Park - can you in Final Fantasy?)

This has happened in the past when the game first came out. It's not hardware but software. Play with the video settings until it's worked out. There's sure to be a fix found through googling.

I don't think you can adjust it in Final Fantasy either. I think the solution I found was to play the game in windowed borderless mode or something... and even that's a big maybe I might be misremembering it.
