if you saying the black level of 0.47 is better then 0.25 im wondering if your 0.25 was installed propely as this was reported by some users long time ago.and what they had to do was do a factroy reset then install 0.23 then do a factroy reset agine then update to 0.25

[ch_harald]

Correct... and not only one, but three: 140.36/37/39, so as long as you avoid those, NetTV should be able to work properly, if not by itself, then at least with a little help from one of the Philips guys!...

Hi, as already told: I upgraded from .32 to .34 only recently and Net TV is also not working with .34 actually, network connection is fine, DLNA is working but no connection to the Philips server for NET TV possible...

Okay, thanks for the info. I don't think i can be bothered to try that . I have been constantly tweaking, changing, upgrading and downgrading, ever since I got the display, I am going to leave it for now . Again thanks ali.

Correct. My favorite is still 140.34. By the way, have any Guy heared from the Tests, that Thomas would be make? Thomas, did you have tested any things for the picture-quality or sharpnes? Please let us know the newest results.
And Happy eastern to all, too, from my side.

I just tested this version just for knowing sure if its any good, [140.46] its still the same blurry firmware like al 40,s versions, so stay below 140.40 guys! i am going back to 140.39 again.

There,s just something wrong when u go over 140.39 its like they put a noise filter or some grease fat in al firmwares above 140.39 lol.

Its like they put some fxaa or something like that in that firmware, i know i am crazy talking now its no pc with graphics card or stuff like that but i can show u guys what i mean with blurry and sharp here,s an example.

This has totaly nuthing to do with tv,s but this is what i mean a little bit.

140.39 left and 140.46 right just look at the noisefilter on the right picture its more blurry then the left, its the same thing as with the tv softwares, then much wurser on the tv,s.

Yes, that is it, what we all say all the time. Thomas, did you have any Idea or do you have tested anything in the last time? I am shure, you could satisfie a lot of Users, if you can bring back the sharpness and blacklevel from the past with a more improvement from 3D. This would be the Holy Grail for us.

Hi

everyone is talking about "bad" pictures, can you please provide us with some more detailed informations.
Also good would be Pictures!

Regards
Thomas

In the older software versions, the 2D picture has much better chrominance, saturation is better. Picture is less noisy and shows less digital artifacts. Pictures look smoother but still sharply defined. Newer software, picture looks dull, even when turning up colour level. Picture grainy/noisy. Blacks don't have as much depth. Haven't checked 3D yet.

I work in the broadcasting industry and am used to watching professional tv monitors, so can easily spot differences between software. My 40pfl9705 is currently running version 34 as this is the best compared to 40 and 46. I have not compared 47 yet.
Still a great tv, but disappointed with software updates

Hi,

Please try to resolve your issue with the general network reconnecting:

HOME > Setup > Network settings > Clear Apps Memory
HOME > Setup > Connect to network

If this isn't helpful please provide detailed information about the issue.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi - same for me. I am on v34 due to picture quality - but unfortunately no Net TV anymore. I asked Philips support and advise was to upgrade to v46 and above....

[jaby]

Hi:

I would like to test the .034 version in my 8605 but i dont find it.
Could i use the firmware of the 9705 ?

Jaby

I can confirm that Net TV does work with firmware 140.39 no problems here.

Thomas,
can we hope for a improved Firmware in the next time? Meaning improvements from the Picture and the 3D? And maybe you can bring back the "Autozoom" Function? This will missed since the 140.37 and above. Why? And did nowhere miss this function , only i? I cant believe this.

[Toengel]

Hi,

I still have the autozoom with 140.47 on my 21:9
