Re: Dark picture on BV4 with SW 8.05

i have the old panel (D8) without ACM.Beovision 4-50 with bezel front...

i try to modify the contrast....but it doesn't solve anything(i have to set the contrast at the higher level to get the original picture )..Apparently i have to switch on/off tv several times to "fix" the problem....

mah...there aren't any B&O technician lurking in the forum that can say something official about this bug??

thanks

andrea

That's to bad, under what circumstanses did you experience it ?

I have not had the issue since 9.01, can you solve the problem by running ACM or covering the lightsensor for aprox 10 seconds ?

i'm afraid to say but....no, the 9.01sw doesn't solve the bug screen completely,i sometimes experience the dark picture.

i'm frustrated,i'm tired to bring my BS3 to the assistance for nothing...i'm not a beta tester.

today i update to 9.01!!(bs3+bv 4-50)

It seems the bug screen is solved!

I noticed another bug...when i use Picture In Picture between PS3 and tv(apple tv) only one picture is shown....maybe the panels can't handle both signals simultaneously(between ps3-tv or appletv-tv, it works flawless) ??

I turn off/on game mode,but i didn't notice anything different....what it does exactly??(BTW is quite uncomfortable to use....)

It seems that the dark picture issue is solved, i have to make some more tests tonight, but for now it looks great.

Other new things are.

* Sleep Timer(how it could take B&O 1 million years to implement that i dont know?) :)

* Naming of Sources, e.g DTV2 = "MediaCenter"

* "Game mode" under picture settings, don't know what it does.

* New DVB-HD logo instead of that hideous clock screen

My BV4-65, purchased november 2009 have had same kind of problem. The picture is a little bit dark and some details in movies are missed. Sometimes it suddenly appear brighter and what a marvellous picture it becomes. I am told they are working on it and the problem will be fixed in about a month.

I experience the dark picture bug also in the version 8.12a of my Beosystem 3 just updated.It's random,sometimes clear imagine,sometimes dark,i noticed it happens also during watching tv!!!!The funny things is that when the technician came it was all ok....

I think It's something about the contrast,when i go to modify it,it repair the bug screen..

I'm really disappointed.....any suggestion?

My BV50/BS3 was updated with the latest sw (8.xx) when it was installed a few months ago and I thought it was dark as well, but since it was a new TV to me...I didn't know that it was not supposed to look that way! I hope we get a sw fix soon, thanks Weebyx.

I have been in contact with my dealer today, and a new SW fixing this problem is expected in about a month from today, they offered me a service release which is basically a Beta version, but since i have to drive 600km to get i flashed, i will wait until the final release :)

No solution yet, i have written directly to B&O and they have not responded yet !

Maybe if we all wrote to them ?
