Hi, i have just received a new tv from the dealer because the old one made a lot of noise, and had weird colors.

This new set is much quieter and the colors are perfect. Also i have had the tv updated to the latest 4.24 SW. But here is the drawback. When i am watching a Blu-ray on my PS3, and the 24p option is set to automatic, then it is almost as the picture is being cut i half when the movie is doing horisontal paning.

If i disable 24p, then the movie is fine, although it is not as smooth when panning.

 This is also noticable when i use my mediapc set to 1080/24, 1080/60 is no problem.

Has anyone else noticed this ?

One other thing, i have my mediapc connected to my tv using AV3 and has selected a HomeChoice settop box to AV3, this is because i then can control Vista MediaCenter using my Beo4/5 (any questions on how this is done is welcome, but not important here). The funny thing is that when i select any of the settop boxes using AV3, the colors when showing a movie is much darker, than when i select PS3 as the settop box. The PS3 mode is the "correct" one in my opinion, but why is there a diference ? I thought that the only thing the settop box did was sendig IR codes. Why is the imageprocessing also being modified when selecting a settop box other than PS3 ?

Any ideas on all this is much appreciated

Much quieter? I can't hear my BV7-40 MKIII at all! I'm assuming you must mean the fans in the back of the TV?

With sw 4.24, panning is much improved, but definitely far from smooth.

 

I have had big problems with hummingnoise from the backlight converters, but finally it seems like it has been solved :) I cant hear the fans, and they are underneath the TV.

Panning is improved alot, but now the picture is almost cut in half sometimes when panning, this is only when my PS3 or PC is set to 24p, otherwise the panning has no faults, other than the lack of being smooth :)

Some more info.

 When i set my PS3 or PC to 24p, and opens the customer service menu, looks under "signal information",  the vfreq is 24hz(23,99 or something), and the panel output is 48hz.

I then took my PS3 to my dealer today, an hooked it up to a tv like mine, same SW/Panel/everything, but the dealer tv showed that the output hz was 60hz instead of 48hz. It seemed like the dealer tv didn't change to 24p mode, and the panning was like mine was before the 4.24 update.

Can some of you with a 24p source check their service menu, and see what the output HZ is under "signal information"

hello one thing i have noticed since 4.24 is my tv just randomly turns itself off for no apparent reason no times nothing just turns off.

some times the sky hd box will not turn on with the tv i have to get up and do it myself.

i have now set the STB to never turn of the HD box which is not best practice for my carbon footprint.

anyone else got this annoying problem of it turning off

i did read somewhere once that they sky box and stb rely on scart for on and off but surly this is not the case if using HDMI???

I've started experiencing this, too, since 4.24. The TV just completely switches off, for no reason. It's done it 3 times in the last couple of weeks.

What happens is that you hear a 'switching off' sound and the speakers go in to standby. However, no red standby light on the TV - that comes on about 30 seconds later. At first, I thought it was the TV overheating, but then realised it had only been on for under an hour.

it also does not control the sky hd box properly the box goes into standby randomly and then does not receive any commands from the STB controller, i have tried it with scart control off as i know the MK2 had a problem without the scart lead.

also when the stb is set to never it rusn on the sky box every other time you turn on the tv but if you have it set to follow TV it seems to just stay on and not turn it on or off.

I am shocked that they did not notcei this while they were testing it.

Don't be shocked - the 4.24 was supposed to fix the white flash problem and didn't. It was even reported as a key fix for 4.24! So, you do have to wonder how much testing they do to come to a conclusion something is 'fixed' when does exactly what it did with the previous sw.
