screen randomly goes black, then comes back?

my vizio tv is quite old. i would sat about 5 or maybe 6 years. its a 42 inch smart tv. its always worked great up until about 2 weeks ago i noticed that when i was playing PS4 the screen went black for maybe 2-3 seconds then came back on. in this time i could still hear the sound, but the picture went black. it only does it once in a while. so at this point its not a huge problem, but id like to repair it before it gets really bad.

ANSWERS:

One of the responses to my complaint said the power board needs replacing. I have not yet looked how much the part would cost, but will before Monday. If the price is reasonable, I’ll replace it myself, unless the manyfacturer is willing to do it for free.

I would say, search your TVs model number on eBay and look for a power supply board. Usually a power supply board is anywhere from $15-$30, and a main board could be $25-$50. Start there, after you've taken the TV apart to look for bad capacitors and generally just burnt places in the boards.

Experts out there, could this be the TV or monitor sending info to home base on use?
