Hi All,
I have recently updated my beovision 7-40 MKIII to Software 7.05 (build 551)
Apart from the known fan noise problem I see a considerable deteriorationin HD picture quality. Does anybody else use this software and sees the same problem. Is there any adjustments in the (customer) service menu to improve th HD quality of previous builds?
Regards
My Beovision-7 (North American) has been upgraded from software version from 3.1 (the first version) to 7.05 since two weeks and I notice no picture degradation. On the contrary, the black levels and contrast seems to be better handled.
I have used the TV with all HD sources I have (Macbook Pro computer, PS3, set top box, Canon 5D Mark II camera connected using HDMI) and the picture is excellent. Even analogue signals (from the tuner) are somewhat better handled.
I had some bugs with the 3.1 version (blinking red light at standby, some video resolutions not working, etc) and the 7.05 update fixed them all. The only drawback is the fan noise which is more audible and that should be fixed with the 7.11 release.
What is exactly the picture degradation you are seeing? Is the image blurry or there are artifacts? Which equipment is connected to your TV ?
A check you can do is to connect to an HD source and to go to the "Signal Information" menu item of the customer service menu to see if the resolution selected is indeed 1920X1080 pixels or 1280X720. Perhaps the handshaking between the device and the TV is not correct, and only 720X480i resolution is selected, giving an inferior picture.
Some other members of the group have also noticed a degradation of the image quality with the European BV-7.
Good luck,
Jean
