Abstract: A television receiver which includes an arrangement for the suppression of a line flicker having a detector unit for detecting a potenting line flicker producing operation of the television receiver and a control unit responsive to a detection signal from the detector unit for producing a correction signal to a vertical deflection system of a picture reproducing unit of the television receiver whereby a line track of the picture spot is displaced upwardly or downwardly to a location near or nearer a line level of a corresponding neighboring line in a proceeding half-picture. The detector unit provides a continuous detection of a difference between an intensity of an actual video signal and an intensity of the actual video signal reproduced in a picture spot and at least an overlying or underlying line on a television screen.
