It's getting worse as time goes on. Everytime I plug is switched on, it blacks out for a few seconds.

Might have to shell out for a replacement soon :lol:

My old plasma used to do this when I switched some spotlights on

its almost certainly down to a voltage dip when the motor/cooler is kicking in.

Its quite common and can also be caused with LED lights switching on or fluorescent tube lights with a high inductance.

Not really alot you can do about it, swapping to a different TV might solve it (depending on the condition of the capacitors on the new TV) or it may still be the same.

id be looking at the possible electrical fault in your house before spending money on a new tv

Thought it'd be better here, rather than geek day.

Recently, whenever my fridge switches on, I guess to keep itself cool, my TV goes blank, as if it's been switches off for about 2 seconds, before coming straight back on. The TV stays on, but I guess the electric draw from the fridge is causing it to cut out.

The TV is a 42'' plasma, about 8 years old, so a bit of a dinosaur, which likely consumes a large amount of electric, judging by the heat it gives off.

Would a new LED TV eradicate this issue, or is there a problem with my electric supply somewhere?

The same thing also happens when other electrical appliances are switched on. I just notice it mostly when the fridge kicks in more.
