You have the black screen set to display as blue, so here it is:

Are you using an HDMI cable or Displayport cable?
If you are, these cables cause the black blinking screen. There is a DRM chip in the graphics card of the video source as well as in the TV tuner. When signals going from one to the other don't synch up, this black blinking screen comes on. I have to use a VGA(D-sub) connector from my computer to TV, because the HDMI cable causes the black screen blinking.

No other TV I tried the HDMI cable on has the Black screen blinking problem, so it is a problem with my TV's HDMI DRM...

Furthermore, when I called Samsung, they refused to tell me how to synch the DRM signal from source to reciever.
They suggested I take it to a technician. However, paying for service on my TV for a purposefully created handicap by the corporation\responsible party is an untenable situation and I refuse to do so.
