Just downloading now.

Notes...

YUV input improvement
Improved operation when Macrovision is available (analog inputs)
480i/576i about menu reporting corrected
480i/576i overscan corrected

How do you update the firmware on a projector?

Seems to work fine

Watched for a few hours last night and didnt see the 'flicker' issue that plagued the previous version

I might be imagining it, but the colours seemed a bit brighter and richer after the firmware change

May be just that the settings were all returned to their defaults but definately looks a bit brighter...even after re-adjustment back to my prefered settings

its all good.


EDIT: Just noticed that the firmware lists YUV input improvement -


that'll be it then.

Something I noticed during the upgrade to my 4805 - when my computer finished the upgrade, the projector 'rebooted', but the flickering was still there. I checked using HDMI, component and composite, but it was exactly as before the upgrade. The menu, however, reported the correct version (1.32)

I turned the pj off at the mains switch (then left it for a bit to cool down), before restarting at and checking again.

When I re-checked it, everything was fine, and the flickering is all gone

only had a few hours with the new firmware but it does seem to have done the trick!!!!

p.s. did anyone else find that you were the only one that noticed it?? (unless you told anyone else about it of course!)

I just done a firmware update on my 4805 to V1.3.2 and not all of the menu's are there, I have no extra settings on the advanced menu. I also have the picture shifted up around 10 pixels and a white line running just below the picture.

Does anyone know how to help with this? I updated from the original software and was thinking of going back but I don't have access to the original firmware, does anyone have this as its really annoying.

after i done the new firmware , thinking about it now i had the white line across the bottom but my menus were ok

...hmmm... seem to remember problems with previous firmware upgrade that came out and general consensus was not to do it (or am I imagining things???). The previous firmware "upgrade" that came out actually caused flickering with some people

Haven't had any problems at all with mine so going to keep the version I've got... if it ain't broke.... etc etc.

Just updated the new firmware V1.3.2 version release from Infocus onto my 4805 projector, due to the flashing problems encountered on certain films on the previous firmware.

I found it was quite a simple process to carry out the firmware transfer between the downloaded file on my laptop to the projector, by following the instructions that was sent with the Infocus downloaded folder.

There does not appear to be any issues with the menus or any white lines at the bottom of the screen on my projector with this latest firmware version.

However, can anybody suggest of any films that they had watched where there was obvious flickering problems with the 4805, so i can check if the new firmware has rectified the problem.

Much appreciated.

Has anyone else noticed that the component video input now crops the 4 sides of the image. Switching to hdmi input reveals full image as it was for component in the original software but not any longer.

Why have they done this?

Test disc was Digital Video essentials.
