I hope you don't get the wrong impression of this forum. Of all the forums I keep in touch with, Beoworld is by far the most sensible and civilised, with many posters receiving genuine help and advice with B&O related issues. I'm sure there has been a misunderstanding of what I consider a perfectly legitimate question.

Welcome to Beoworld!

 As to your problem, I don't have a flat panel of any description, preferring good old crt, but I agree that so called "film mode" and the like ruin the picture and I have switched it off on my 100hz Avant. I also agree that the B&O interface can be a swine, but it is part of what B&O is about, providing a usually simple interface for ordinary people. But it can be frustrating if you wish to "tweek" the odd setting. That is where Beoworld can usually help.

Regards,

Neil. 

Thanks Neil, I appreciate your response and understanding.

It sounds like Film Mode is the culprit then, I will disable this the next time I'm over and hopefully this will solve the problem.

Do you happen to know the difference between the film and game modes?
Looking through the Beovision 10 guide which I downloaded from B&O's website it appears that there is no reference to film mode, but there is the option to turn 'game mode' on.

I wonder if turning game mode on is the equivalent of turning film mode off!?

I own a Beovision 10 myself.

You are correct that the "Game Mode" reduces the delay, in order to enhance the gaming experience. If that turns off the "film mode" or not, I do not know. I have personally switched of Film Mode as described earlier in this thread (Service Menu). Agree that it gives an unwanted effect on films, but its a matter of taste really. 

Regarding the Beo4, it could be that it´s the latest version, with a little "joystick" instead of a "GO" button. It works the same anyway. 

You press in the middle to e.g. confirm choises.

Let the forum know if you have any more questions. We are here to help.

Best regards

Thanks for the info Hiort!

So are both Game Mode and Film Mode seperate options within the menu? I can only see references to Game Mode in the manual

Cheers

Yep, they are separate options.

Film mode is only adjustable from the Service menu, so the B&O thinking there is probably that you either leave it on or leave it off, dependant on your preference.

Great, thanks for that.

It would be good to know what game mode actually does and if its ok to leave it enabled all the time, or just when playing a games console.

I noticed that 'game' is within the list options on the BEO4, does this enable/disable the mode?

Correct. Press List until you have GAME in the display. Then you press GO on the Beo4 to switch on. If you press GO again GAME mode is switched off . Best thing is to try if that improves your picture processing.

Just wanted to thank those who helped out with this. Film mode is now off, game mode on for the 360, no more weird frame processing!

Thanks again
