Braiva 7 Firmware v112.626.100.1 Broken

[ChezMG]

Since installing this firmware a month ago.

The following picture settings now have no function.

Gamma, black adjust, adv contrast enhancer, live colour.

I see that America, Australia, Asia have already had the fix.

2nd month of waiting for a fix which america,australia got over a month ago and now a new update for america again.

really thinking of dumping sony completely.

@ChezMG does it have no effect with all the content of the TV? Do use external devices with the TV?

[ChezMG]

All sources.

Aerial, Internal apps, external boxes: nvidia shield pro, freesat box. None of the setting i had listed function.

Game mode is not usuable for pc gaming as it will randomly wash out the picture. Only a reboot of everything brings it back until it does it again.

Outside of game mode input lag is horrendous and not usuable.

@ChezMG I've heard that Sony is going to release a software that addresses this issue!!

@TheRealOG 

My initial response would have been:

I heard Elvis still lives

or

Pigs might fly.

But joking aside.

Its been 2 months of this broken firmware. Sony is well aware of this and quickly fixed it for America  plus 1 update.

The offending firmware has not even been pulled.

All those customers that have just bought a B7, B8 or B9 and get told there is an update. Blindly update and find the tv is no long functioning properly will use the return window and then bomb review them.

So it seems priority is not that great when it comes to fixing it for  the EU & UK.

I would like to believe what you say, but until that happens, here's a big pinch of salt.

@TheRealOG 

i will take that salt now.

new firmware popped up on my tv this morning. early days but seems to have resolved all my issues.
