Your experiences with FW v0.14.84.0 for 8000, 9000 and 21:9 series (2011 models)

[nnay07]

I actually had the invers situation. I turned the tv off (standby), ambilight went off and the next morning the screen was grey (backlight on) with the ambilight off and the standby led on!!! This has happened twice. Next time I will take a photo.

I did face exactly the same issue this morning. TV had been put in standby through the remote at night. When grey, pressing the power button of the TV switched it ON (meaning it was thinking it was in an OFF state).
Looking forward to receive the next FW update.

Hello Thomas, The glasses that came with my tv set (PTA516) make a very disturbing sound. Apparently Phillips is aware of this issue and they planned to have it resolved by week 48 (this week). I´ve contacted Phillips Spain but they´ve answered that they´re not familiar with this issue. Can you help to clarify the actual situation? Many thanks for your assistance.

Hi Guys

the "noise" making googles are known and we are working on a Solution.
We expect a Solution early 2012.

I noticed exactly same behavior last two mornings. I don't think it had occured before. Grey screen, white LEDs of ambilight, after pressing the remote control power button a DVB-T channel quickly went on and immediately (after 1 sec?) switched to another DVB-T channel, that one remained to play. After pressing the power button again the TV set went off to black screen as usually.
Might be connected with the fact that I connected a PC through HDMI cable (HDMI2 slot) a few days ago and this PC does sometimes wake up during the night. Will try to disconnect this to come on trail.

Looking forward to receive the next FW update.

Yes, yes, yes! for so many issues...

Hi,
I've just created a poll for 2D->3D conversion software lack.
Have a look here and vote pls.

I believe that if we reach a considerable amount of people voting there maybe a chance to have this feature on our tv.

[Philips - Thomas]

Hi

i did explain this before but i will again.
2D to 3D conversion is about Hard and Software.
TV's which have this feature, does have it because of the Hardware capabilities of the TVs.
TV's which don't have it, simply don't have it.

I'm fine with your Poll, because this is your Opinion but i will not accept any Discussion on that one in here.

Ok, sorry I was not aware of this.
This means that there is no possibility for having this feature implemented because of an hardware limitation. This is clear but it is also a pity to have to give up with this feature (sorry for my english). If available it would have been another plus on this tv.

Hi Thomas,

I'm very disappointed with 46PFL9706K/02 banding problem too. Is there impossible show plane white with backlight technology or just hardware bug? Attaching image where you can see a bands and backlight led's visible. Showing 100% white jpeg uncompressed image from usb key, with Ambilight and without.
Attachment 626

@Thomas from Philips, I have this problem also. Comes Philips with a solution for this problem this year or also begin 2012?

@Thomas
That's another feature we would have had on this TV. I'm sad to know that it won't be implemented.
Anyhow at least we have a clear reply from Philips on this.

What about double audio track support. At this time only the first track is selectable.

Is there any possibility to have a firmware to add this feature in the future?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Very Best Regards,

Model: 46pfl9706H/12
Firmware: 000.014.084.000

Once a while the ambilight flashes white as if a picture is taken. Not a great experience.

Also in more dark images there is a ghosting effect noticiable as you can see the led backlight switching on an off, especially with slow moving images this is very noticeable. Unexpected for such an expensive TV

When I put my TV in standby, being connected to a receiver via HDMI-ARC , the sound does not always come back to life (mutes). To solve this you then need to shutdown (off/on) the TV completely to get the sound back.

Booting of the TV takes long and the Philips logo is lighting up several times as well as the baclight, not a crisp boot process. I do no think that this is a functional failure, but not great boot process in firmware, but it does not provide a premium experience you expect from such a high end TV

[Cinema 21:9]

Still have a problem with the Localdimming.
In dark images often this pattern comes from the backlight.
If you disable Localdimming, the pattern is gone.
