Ghosting on BV 7-55 in 3D

27 replies

Hello!

I have a lot of ghosting (seeing dobble shadows) on my tv in 3D, my friend has a 65" Samsung plasma has almost nothing of this problem. Is this a common problem on this tv?

 

Only expensive ones.

LCD vs Plasma.

And the winner is...Plasma 😉

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Screen/monitor temperature is very important for 3D TV, which is based on LCD technology. This is because the LCD material response becomes faster when the screen/monitor reach higher temperatures. Ghosting is most visible when the screen is cold, and therefore depends on how long the TV has been turned on before you start to see 3D TV. When the TV is turned on for about an hour, the LCD screen has reached the final operating temperature, and ghosting is at the lowest level.

Hi !

I am also very disappointed by the 3D function of the beovision 7 55. Much brightness and contrast but awfull ghosting and other problems I cannot exactly define but a general impression of gadget rather than anything else.

I tried Prometheus and Hugo Cabret 3D versions on other configurations (not B&O) and it was perfect. The problem doesn't come from the BR player because it's the same with 3D films on the cable.

My impression is that it commes from the glasses but i'm maybe wrong

It's the first time  I read someone seems to realize that 3D is not good with that so expensive TV

I agree with these comments, although I admit that I have no experience watching 3D movies with non-BO TVs. Haven't tried non-BO glasses as well.

'Ghosting' seems to me the main issue, even if the TV has been on for some time. Also, when things move fast on the screen, the picture is just horrible.

For me the 3D function of the 7-55 is just a gadget, which can perhaps please children when watching an animation movie, or impress friends for a few minutes. But if you wanna enjoy a whole-length movie, switch to 2D.

Very disappointing for such an expensive TV...

Yup. IMHO hands down! Still mad I sold my BV5. 

Hi Gabriel, this was a slight mismatch in timing between the glasses and the TV signal, fixed by a software update long ago - you need to get the patch and then the 3D will be perfect and very very impressive.

Hi MartinW

Happy to learn there is a solution to this issue. The TV I bought was indeed in the shop since a very longtime because sailor tried to sell a 2D modell (exposition's modell). So I hope that you're right and that the technician has omitted to make the update. Is it also important to make the software update of the BR player ?

Do you know the reference of your software ?

Thx for answer
