Hi All.

Just finished reading all the posts, and I can confirm I have exact same problems with HDNM.
I can live without HDMN, but as reported in post #27, I have problems with slowdown in playback.

At first I thought it was a problem with my Windows 7, XBMC, connected with HDMI. Upgraded my hardware to faster CPU, GFX card, Same problem. Playback of BD Disc from my PS3, also have the same problem with slowdown.

Playback on other TV is without problem, so it is not a Windows 7, XBMC issue.

Going to have a talk with Elgiganten about returning/replacing the TV. Not a Philips this time, since they can't/won't resolve the issue.

Bye, bye Philips. Never again.

Hi,

Have you tried engaging Game mode ?
Most of there issues disappear. Maybe not all though.

I also have a setup Win7/XBMC setup (with low CPU, NVIDIA NG-Ion) and I don't have much of these when GAME mode is set.
When still having a few, I usualy blame my external setup... Maybe I should also make sure by playing through USB. Do you have that through USB ?
Can you tell what source (codec) you are using ?

Hi Manuj.

Don't like the Game mode, cause it doesn't fill the entire screen.

I have tried everything else.
Win 7, XBMC, VLC, ION chipset - Win 7, XBMC, VLC, i3 CPU - D-Link BoxeeBox, WesternDigital Live TV box. Movies played from Synology DS1511+ (5 2TB disc in RAID 5) 1 GBs LAN. Have tried playing from Internal HD in WIN 7 and with movie on USB HD from WIN 7 and directly in TV. Even an original BluRay Movie from a PS3.

Movie source are mkv 720p 1080p, but I even see slowdown on series in SD.

The slowdown are worse when signal is in 1080p, still there but not so often when using 720p. I also see it using SatReciever on normal TV.

[Manuj]

Ok, I can understand.

Hi Manuj.

Are you talking about the 5 pixel shift (on the right) of the image ?
I decided to agree to lose those 5'400 pixels, and have fewer viewing problems.
But I understand your frustrations, everyone's choice after all.

[ATOM66]

Heh, I think it shifts more than that.

Going to give it another try, again.
It is incredible they cant make a TV place the picture correct, when it is possible on a computer monitor.

[Manuj]

For sure, this was so hard to believe that I first could not see it either.

How can it even happen when Game mode is to prevent from any video processing, and get fastest hdmi data on panel ???...

There's a special thread here, with a downloadable image.
I wish more people would test and report there. This is the only way to get Philip's attention, and correction sometime in the future.

hi ATOM66, what doe you experience with 'slowdown'?

I have had two frustrations (amongst others) that could relate to your 'slowdown' experience, depending on what you mean.

1. I've had issues with my image looking like somebody hits the slowmotion button for 0.1 sec For example, watching a talkshow. The director would switch from person A to person B in the talkshow, and person B always seems to say his first word or nod in slowmotion.
This is I believe a bug in Pixel Precise. Switching it OFF helped me with my issue.

2. Input-lag
While watching 3D content, it seems the TV needs more time to process the image, and the sound of my home cinema set and the TV get seriously out of sync.
I haven't resolved this one

Hi Stephan.

1. Thats exactly what I see, but for longer periods than 0.1 sec. Sometimes up to 2-3 sec at a time. Rewind in the movie, playing the same part again, there are no issues. Looping the same 10 sec part, result in periodic slomo! As if the TV's processor can't cope. All fancy image enhancement are currently off on my TV.

2. Can only be solved with a Reciever, that can delay the audio. Had a plasma before where the video/audio was always out of sync by 0,5 ms. I currently have a Pioneer 915 Reciever/amp, it has that functionallity.

I've had 1) in my case. But in fewer occasions when in Game mode.
You have a 6007 right ?
So "Switching it OFF" means switching OFF the HDNM. Is that correct ?

For 2), can you tell what audio output you are using ?

[Manuj]

@ATOM66
It would help if you could find a 1080p trailer online that shows the problem.
2-3 seconds is not what I experienced. It would be more 0.5 or 1 second.

I have the 47pfl6877t/12. HDNM set to Off.

Currently using the Optic output for Audio into AMP, HDMI direct into TV.

Thanks.

I was also asking Stephan (who's talking about pixel precise but his profile reports 6007).

Haven't found any and I don't have the equipment to make a recording of it.

Had the 0.1 stutters. E.G. when the camera was panning, the picture stoppes for a fraction of a second. That was actually a XBMC setting. Something about Real Fullscreen, somewhere in the settings.

What remains looks like the playback is skipping frames, when it stops picture and audio are stil in sync.

1) I mean switching off Clear LCD. I had the feeling that when watching SD content (like the analogue cable) the ClearLCD feature just can't manage to 'sharpen' the image in time at some occasions.
To be fair I haven't done islotated testing in switching on/off HDNM and ClearLCD and test seperately, but I'm pretty sure it's the ClearLCD causing this slow-motion. Or better said, switching it off got me read of those annoying 'slow-motion-nodding-talkshow-guests'.

2) Input-lag.
My HomeCinemaSet allows me to 'delay' the sound being played of the stereo in case the image and sound are out of sync.
When watching 2D BluRay content, everything is fine. When watching 3D BluRay content it's not. The sound from the Home Cinema Set is well ahead (300ms!) to the image on the Philips TV.
The sound on the Philips TV and the image on the image TV (so switching off sound on the Home Cinema Set and switching it on on the TV) are in sync. But I prefer to use my 5.1 set for sound off course.

Just wondering if my point two is a general issue. I haven't been able to test on a different player (in case the issue is to be blamed to the Home Cinema Set), so I'm curious what other experiences people have.

Thanks gstan80 for the very good description of the tv!

I will not buy this one which i found as a winner for this year reading specs and reviews. An accident got me surfing here, and i read the first 12 and last 5 pages.

Apparently Philips do not care enough to fix it nor do they wish to admit their erroneous model!

Guess my father will get a LG/Samsung instead.
