Strange flashing on lines etc on drop ins PS5

I've been having this issue on ps5 on every match. Is this common Issue or is my PS5 faulty? Need to know because I have still warranty left on my console. https://youtu.be/7uPQnQTs3dk?si=28em44PNP...

That looks like an HDMI cable issue.

Disconnect and reseat both ends of the cable securely and retry.

If the same happens, try with another cable or even another TV if you can.

Reboot the PS5 too.

Thanks.

I actually think this is in-game because the green line is going through the environment and not just appearing on the TV

Thanks for the reply. So my console is fine and it is just a bug? Pretty worried here.

  I wouldn't be able to confirm that. But based on the video, you can tell the green artifact is in-game as it's passing through players, the boards, etc and not just overlaying the entire screen.
  I think this green flash has happened to me as well (Xbox) and I am certain it only happened during the outdoor drop-in games.
  Do you notice this happening on other games?

    @KidShowtime1867 Only in drop ins so far. On warthunder I have some graphical bugs too that textures are flashing and disappearing.

  Try different HDMI cable and a different HDMI slot.
  Try a different display. Those are quickest and easiest to test.
  
  Try reinstalling.
  
  Do you have your PS5 vertical?
  Does your console have adequate ventilation?
  Is it clean? (dust/smoke)
  (The liquid metal can leak and run in vertical due to inadequate seals).

    @RicochetII Yeah it's vertical. Console is just few months old. It has alot of space surround it because its in the middle of the floor. I'll check the dust but doubt it.
