Any news about Philips PUS8505

Without going all the way back through can anyone please confirm the peak nit brightness of this please.
350nit

even 400 or 600 ....

at least accepted the right of the standard min.1000>>>HDR/DV
or at least you to have 700/800nit panel!

well,for me 300/400nit OK because of I do not watch any HDR/DV
 
2020 vs 2021 medels have very small difference at specification
And 2020 roundly considered a dud, despite the specs promised on paper. I have the 43pus8555 and it's okay as a 2nd TV but not as a main tv
 
Good, what configuration do you have in the ambilight? Because she had it at the standar and now at stake it looks good, but when there's a scene and the screen stays black, there's always a reflection of light instead of being dark
I have it in brightness mode 7 and contrast 2

Is there a way to access "frequent settings" faster ? (one button...) ?

I'm trying to find a way with Button Mapper Android app, but did not find yet...

For now, I managed to map Teletext and List bottom buttons to app shortcuts, like Kodi...works great so far.

thx

  • Improvements for Ambilight Hue
  • PVR improvements
  • Fix for no sound after standby
  • Fix for unexpected appear of OLED screen saver when use apps
  • Stability improvements
  • Other general improvements
 
Next update will be 2 month later, so now we have some time to test these huge improvements out. Keep calm and hope to get the google tv UI update too.
 
I just got a new TV. Does the 65PUS8545/12 support wireless projection from Windows 10? Can't find the TV when searching for wireless displays. Do I have to activate something? I thought this had Miracast.

Also, how do I link the TV to Siri / IFTTT? Also also, can buttons / menus be remapped in any way? Just AWFUL menus. And finally, is it normal for the menus to be sooo slow?

Hi
after latest download of last F/W(....022.002)

kinda there is no any "picture quality" improvements

note;
"clipping effect" still remain(but its due to 8+FRC type VA panel)!!
"flickering effect"(pixels-background crush etc.,) still remain but its all about 8+FRC&panel type
but there is a little bit improvement for this act(less visible)
>>Tip for this;"Sharpness">> use low level! such as 1/2

My panel 50"/85xx

Is the updated firmware available on the philips.co.uk website for usb install? File download is showing as the April update.

As doing an update via the TV itself is painfully slow!
 
update carried out directly from the option on my TV, no change concerning the image which was already without problems on my 65PUS8555
 
Am getting an issue with prime video. When watching a series the first episode I watch always plays fine., then when it goes to the next episode the aspect ratio changes and the only way to get the correct aspect ratio is to quit the app and resume. When going back the menu that displays fine. Has anyone else have this issue? It’s only been recently that I have noticed this issue. Not updated to the latest firmware yet but feel it’s amazon rather than Phillips.

Last F/W update date is>>(creation date) April/29 but you just ignore this date!
this date unnecessary for you as well

note;Server update link date is>>May/17/2021 ignore this date too!

keep in mind your latest F/W is>>> TPM191E_R.101.002.022.002

Note;it depend on your Internet-speed,it means that sometimes downloading time
may longer!
Or sometimes the main Server of TPS too bussy or due to unknown such as speed
issue then may your downloading time even more late too!!

Or go to this site and find your proper F/W link and download very fast
use FAT/32 formatted Memory-stick and download it than insert Stick to
TVs USB2.0 port and follow the directions,this way very easy and secure too

Thank you!! These settings made my screen colour all areas the same.

Anyway, since the latest update i realized:
-Google play has been updated, not the app update menu is little bit more structured.
-Ambilight when tv is turning off has more delay to turn off automaticaly
-Chromecast tv screensaver does not forget it’s time waiting and sleeping periody.
 
My 65PUS8204 got damaged so a 65PUS8505 is replacing it tomorrow.

I’ll be interested to see if it’s as good because for the most part I was happy with the 8204.
