Awful picture on SD channels?

[twol]

Just read up on the TV and it says from philips.co.uk web site 12/05/ 2016 you need a software (firmware update) for hdmi to work properly and sd upscaling is bad (from user reviews on that philips web site) ... they appear to be seeing same issues.
..... so hate to say this but you probably need a firmware update and crossed fingers

This is from the philips web site so not a biased view!

Ah well that might fix it. Got this TV last month and its been more bloody hassle than its worth.

That would agree with the user review starting in March .... seems like there may have been a few firmware updates to fix issues.
If not fixed I would go to the philips UK web site and give feedback, they do appear to get responses from philips.

Thanks for all your help with this guys. I did the update, do I notice much difference well its not as jagged and blocky, I have found quite an extensive menu of picture settings in the TV setting so will have a play with that, whats the worst could happen

[twol]

Well the reviews do indicate you have to play with the settings to get a better picture ... I ammjust a bit surprised that Philips didn,t fix things before release .... but at least they appear to be trying

Doubtful the issue is with the receiver, more like poor quality philips UHD 4K LED panel.

Possibly however as I said previously on this thread my old Zgemma did not have any issues.

Well I suppose poor quality supports poor quality

Chipset in the the Nano 2 Super is much more higher spec. I'd ensure any picture improvement settings are turned off on the TV.

If you go to google and type in avforums there are settings there for your tv
