Firmware update preview

The team is working feverishly on a new firmware update that should be available in the next 2 weeks after regressions testing. Here are the targeted improvements:

- Big improvements on HDR10 picture quality

- Fix for "green tint" issue on Playstation 4 when in Deep Color

- Added 50Hz support for Xbox (just makes set up go smoother)

- Fixed more instances of split screen

- Fixed instances of stuttering or frame drops

- Sharpness setting fixed (doesn't revert)

- Clean Action scanning improvements for 60Hz

- 40IRE adjustment fixed in Calibrated Dark

- Lots of fixes in for ARC and dropped audio

- Wake on CAST improvements

- Fixes for freezing seen in Hulu app

- Improvements in OOBE and pairing during setup

- General stability and PQ improvements across the system

We are also testing this weekend an improvement to Bluetooth pairing for iPhone 7 models.

A couple of issues are still being worked on and will be in a later release (roughly 45-60 days).

The first is a patch for 4:4:4. I know this has been discussed a lot. The TV supports 4:4:4 now but certain signals show decimation. In these cases the TV is accepting and decoding the 4:4:4 signal correctly but it is passing through a portion of the video
pipeline which is reducing the chroma. A fix is in the works so that when a 4:4:4 signal is detected this portion of the pipeline is bypassed and the true 4:4:4 will make it to screen. This is a longer fix because it required a rework of the video pipeline.

The second is 4:2:0 HDR10 which is manifesting itself on the Xbox. We were surprised that the Xbox would use the lower quality chroma output and at 60fps (as you know other sources chose better output formats). For instance, when you stream Netflix app the
Xbox is actually converting 24p to 60p and outpouring it in 4:2:0. A rework to our HDR10 video pipeline is under way to handle this one format much better. The code is already working - saw it last week and it looks great. The code is being integrated into
our main branch and will then go through regression testing before release. As part of this work we are separating the HDR10 PQ settings from DolbyVision - so when this code is released you will have 3 sub parts of each major PQ mode (SDR, HDR10, and DV) which
was another request from several posters here on AVS.

As part of this release that includes the 4:4:4 and 4:2:0 HDR10 changes... we are working on further improvements to DolbyVision, set up experience, on screen menus, couple of remaining ACR updates and other general improvements.

I'll let you know how testing goes this week and when the release is live. Thanks for your patience.

SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS.

Xbox One S HDR issue

Same here, brand new M65-d0. With Xbox One S set to 4K display, with 4K and HDR enabled the screen with either go to 'silent static' or freeze image (while I can hear the game continue in background).

HDR is working, but it appears to cause the M65 to crash when in-game. I do not see this behavior in the Xbox dashboard nor game menus.

According to this post from Vizio CTO on AVSForums, it is known issue?

OMG! I love my Xbox One so much right now

Vizio has 4k tv's with hdr, so she isn't correct.

 

wow... wish LG would actually do something... Alls they say is HDR is a "built in feature" and unable to do anything with firmware updates. Even though my tv has Ultra HD deep color... it still does not work with One S

 

I have the same issue that Prezdead mentions above. My LG has UHD deep color, and I get 4K resolution but it still doesn't work with HDR. I find it funny when it's listed here on xbox.com that one of the many names for HDR is UHD Deep Color. It's also weird,
because if what I had plugged into the hdmi port on my tv didn't support deep color, it would give me a message. I don't get a message, but it won't allow HDR. So it's like it works with the Xbox One S... but it doesn't. A little frustrating to say the least.
