2015 KDL-50W756C (Picture mode bug) EU

[giorgosgs]

I have reported the bug before in an other thread but it's not yet fixed in the latest update v3395.

Watch the video below to see that the picture mode setting is not permanend after standby.

The bug is 100% reproducable but you have to left the TV in standby for more than 4 hours.

In other words every morning I have to set the picture mode to my preferance.

THE BUG IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST OPENING AFTER NIGHT STANDBY

You mean that:

• You select an input e.g. HDMI4/ARC connected to a BD Player and watch a movie.
• Select Picture mode e.g Cinema pro
• Re-select Auto Picture Mode and set to Auto again because after selecting Cinema Pro this goes automatically to OFF.
• Turn OFF TV(STBY) for 10 minutes.
• Turn ON TV from STBY. Select HDMI4/ARC again.

Then Cinema Pro is lost? Is that what you mean?

Auto Picture Mode is off

The issue has to do with the picture mode which is lost after stand by for x time.
For all inputs and TV

You can see in the video from 0:37 to 0:41 that the picture temprature changes for the same profile Cinema Home

This bug has nothing to do with Auto Picture mode.

It occurs when Auto Picture mode is disabled completely.

@giorgosgs

Did you try completely disabling auto sync for external devices? Just a suggestion

Giorgo this happens to DVB-T too? I remember this issue at December's firmware that was solved, at least for my KD-55X8508, with February firmware. I didn't notice yet at latest April's firmware.

@MiCal1967I am not sure what DVB-T is exactly.... if it is the national digital TV Signal it's happens to DVB-T to.

If it is an extra device for satellite or something similar no I never had one.

@giorgosgs

Maybe it was a wrong expression. When I wrote DVB-T, I meant Digital(TV).

Digital uses a DVB-T receiver which is embended inside our TV's.

As I understand this also happens to Digital(your channels).

Have you updated to latest firmware(v3395) ?

Ain't anyone going to help us??

I have been running the Expert 1 setting with 50W805C without issues. I'm now running Android 6.0 and got a great picture quality. Have you updated the software? Here's a great guide for settings that I use:

Yes I did. Did nothing for me.

The FIX

Let's see if it works for you guys. is simple. leave all inputs, tv, bluray, youtube, other inputs, everything calibrated the same. go to the settings page, the to the picture settings while on this page with big icons, change the picture to VIVID and calibrate everything on it to MIMIC the picture configurations of your other inputs.

FIXED!
