Abstract

A method and a circuit configuration for flicker reduction in a television set include counting the number of partial areas of a field/frame which have been ascertained to be moving, through the use of a motion detector. When a threshold value is exceeded, a changeover is made from a field reproduction sequence with reduced flicker to a field reproduction sequence with reduced flicker and correct motion. The method can be practiced by using standard components.
