Where to start... The TV is brand new and connected to my PC (GTX 1070 / i5-3570k) via HDMI2 with the UHD setting at optimal (4:4:4/HDR support).
Pretty much at every single image setting (4:4:4/RGB/etc, UHD/HD/etc, game/monitor-mode/etc, HDR/SDR, etc.) there are small flickering lights around white text with dark background and thin vertical white lines have this weird thing going on where they change colors between green and purple depending on where the window is moved on the screen (the color change persists in static image).
The purple/green colors are pretty dominant in texts (i, I, l, L, 1, etc.) especially when Windows scaling is set to 100%.
Also, the usual 4:4:4 "The quick brown fox" test also shows horrendous effects as the bottom 2 lines of texts are completely unreadable. Even some of the top red and blue texts are in a very bad shape.
I even went as far as buying a brand new heavy-duty HDMI cable to see if the problem was in the cable (same cable is being used on my other 2015 Philips UHD-TV). Didn't help.
Also, the input lag seems to skyrocket when I restart the TV in game-mode. The input lag does normalize when I switch inputs back and forth afterwards but it's still a very annoying problem.
I noticed that this same bug was fixed(?) for monitor-mode in the latest software update. But in my case the monitor-mode has horrendous input lag, don't know if that's normal or not...
Already contacted Philips for repairs but will see if they can do anything to salvage this TV... Anyone else had this kind of issues with their TV and HDMI connection?
