Hi,

actually there is are no release notes available. However, since a few days ago the 140.29 was released for the 3000-7000 series their release notes could also be the same: one fix for CAMs in sweden...

So why is this version now released (also here in Holland), while it only contains a CAM fix for Sweden and a Beta-tested version 32 is in the pipeline?

I can only confirm this, but with 46PFL9705 :(
+ sound cut off

I only hear - soon, soon .. One month has already run (since FW ...025...), but the problem remains :mad:

027, 029 - have not been corrected

My opinion:
- the problem with the sound (or picture) will be more important than everything else

[Toengel]

Hi,

please be patient... It will come soon...

I agree with you 100% it's a problematic to use such expensive panel with such bug in firmware.


Toengel could you please estimate when you plan to release fix for the issue?

Thank you in advance.

[Toengel]

Hi,

I cannot estimate anything - I'm not working with Philips ^^

But as the moderator posted in the forum, firmware 140.32 is in beta test phase - and this firmware addresses the sound issue...

Hi,

I still have to install it. Funny, when I update from the TV it says the FW is op to date.... So I am downloading it right now. The download is very slow (my connection VERY fast), so I wait.
If there is anything to report I'll get back

[Toengel]

Hi,

not all downloadable firmwares are provided via the integrated update...

I talked about this many times.
And hear only - wait, wait, soon...

[rami69]

btw: i have 2 media streamers from SageTV - the oldest one HD200 has no such issue with the TV, but the newest HD300 has sound issue with the Philips, at kitchen i have 42" panasonic plasma - no issues at all.

[ali54]

part from the sound issue what alse the new softwear is going to bring us will be a fix for motion judder in the 0.32

hi, after an upgrad from the .25 to the .29 software i see a kind of blurring in sd and hd material.
liltle gray vertical stripes sometimes apears on light-coloured surfaces.

hey philips,
sw .29 /9705 : i see in the sd material of the german broadcaster mdr, some blinking pixels in the first (top) line of the screen. i have never catched this in other boradcasters and it appears also not in sw .25. move the picture over the options menu brings no effect.

[Toengel]

Hi,

you can adjust the "picture borders" in the TV settings. I think yours are set up to a very low value. Such "pixels" are in the over/underscan area...

Toengel@Alex

[el911wood]

hm toengel,

fast response, like ever from u.
picture border stands at 6 now at 8, still under observance.
i give you a feedback.
regards

[Toengel]

Hi,

is your observation 24/7 present on MDR? In special broadcasts? Maybe you could take a photo...

Toengel@Alex

[el911wood]

heya toengel,
i m only watching news at this channel.
it appears in every kind of material at the screen but not in 100% of it.
but i think the picture border 8 move this behind the cover of the screen.
regards
