What are you trying to tell us? Unfortunately, this does not change the fact that you obviously have a significant hardware problem.

I'm trying to tell you that this marginally improves the situation but not completely so I wanted to see if anyone else has any suggestions. I don't know what my hardware issue could be. New power supply, new cable don't know what else it could be unless my PI is bad.

My impression is that simply your Pi3B+ has a defect, or it just will not or can not work with your TV correctly.
I also have such a case, it is a Pi3 (without +), which immediately overheats as soon as he gets something to do. I had tried with larger and larger heat sinks to solve the problem. Unfortunately in vain

I changed the adjust resolution on start/stop and now it doesn't flicker at all. I also no longer get idle freezes which basically happens with nothing running and I turn on the TV and the screen is frozen as I can see that the time hasn't changed. I turned off timeshift as well as I seemed to get stream freezes with this on.

In the meantime, nothing surprises me anymore
I have to ask now, do you by chance overclock your Pi3B+?

No, I don't overclock my Pi3B+.

It's never been overclocked. Probably won't buy you much IMHO.

It buys you quite a bit actually but that's not really relevant here.
