Skyrim [PC] and my HDTV

Hi all,
I built my PC a month ago to enjoy Skyrim to the fullest. I'm a fan of Bethesda games, but have always heard that their true home is on the PC. Whether or not this is true is probably subjective and the cause of a lot of flame wars, so we won't get into that here. I just built the computer for kicks, and to see how different the game would look with higher settings. I fully intended on displaying the game on my Samsung UN55D6000 HDTV and playing with my 360 controller, but after clowning around with the television a bit, I can't seem to get an optimal display. My only remaining issue with displaying the game on my television is the screen flickering.
My computer has two GTX560 cards SLI'd and I'm using a mini HDMI to HDMI cord that reaches my TV. After running around a bit, I can't get over how the screen flickers after movement. It's not a huge amount, but if I pan the screen, you can definitely tell that flickering exists in darker areas of the screen. Are there any settings that you recommend I play with to fix this issue? Is the idea of playing this game on my HDTV a bad idea? Have any of you experienced similar issues? I could easily play this game on my monitor, but I would really like the HDTV option to work out.
Let me know if I need to clarify any issues, or if there is a better place to post this question. I'm a tad new to the forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is v-sync turned on? Does your TV have any fancy settings that could be affecting its refresh rate?
Good luck with Skyrim, regardless of what you end up playing it on.
