BV7-40 MKIII - what happened to the SD pixelisation fix?

38 replies

Afternoon,

Posted this in another thread, but what happened with the planned SD-based pixelisation 'fix' planned for sw 4.01? My BV7-40 MKIII was updated to sw 4.01 at the weekend, but SD content is the same as before and there's no sharpness setting in the customer service menu.

Beolab, what happened?

Hi moxxey, I still have the "flashes" on the screen even after my upgrade to sw 4.0, when watching bluray-movies. In the "picture-meny", how do you put your "size" of the picture?

On a sidenote, the are many modules that the dealer needs to update. For instance the PIM required a software update, from what I remember. Perhaps you need to ask your dealer to make sure every software upgradable part of your TV is fully up-to-date?

Hi Moxxey. My PIM-sw is 1.5, upgraded from 1.2. Which software do you have for your PIM?

Hi, I got this letter from B&O this morning regarding the "flash"-problem. So, they are now aware about the problem and my solve it soon, hopefully.

 Dear Mr Stroem,

For your information we are now looking at this problem here at Bang & Olufsen. We will let you know when the involved department will come to a conclusion.

Kind regards
Bang & Olufsen a/s

I've got to be honest....I've seen the white flash problem again *after* the software upgrade. Not showing blu-ray DVDs though, that's fixed. I see it when displaying content on the PS3, in 1080p mode.

I only did this for the first time last night and saw the white flash on at least 10 occassions. So, it's gone on DVDs, but shows when showing 1080p content from the PS3. Bizarre. Plain bizarre.

Now, I could actually live with this as it doesn't affect my general TV, PS3 games, the internal DVD player or blu-ray DVDs. However, it's still annoying that it's not completely disappeared.

Apparently a new version of the BeoSystem 3 and BV7 MkIII firmware gets released this Monday. Does anyone with connections into the Service systems know what the update contains?

Hi moxxey! The sharpness setting is only a link from the service menu to the costumer service menu. It means that this setting is meant for Beo dealers not the costumer. The mail i published here at Beoworld was a Service inside mail for the dealers only. 

Go in to the costumer service menu ( Menu + then set the marker at OPTIONS + hit the Red button twice then Go ! )

Now you Can see:

Customer Service Menu

SW VER

HW VER

ADJUSTMENTS ( Under adjustments you can turn on "Promotion Mode" an then see how the Vision Clear  work´s live)

PICTURE ADJUSTMENTS (Sharpness settings)

SCREEN INFORMATION

SIGNAL INFO

And i have heard from a surce that in the 4.03 update the 24p and 30p will be able..

We can only hope it´s true! ;)
