Smart TV UE50NU7400 new firmware 1320.4

B0kka — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 07:39:04 GMT

Hello everyone!

To my amazement last night I received (after one or two years) a new update for the smart TV that brings the software to version 1320.4.

I ask you: would it be possible to have some sort of changelog to know what changes this new update has made?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @B0kka More detailed changelogs are published in the German community. No information on this one just now but will update when I find out. I also have a changelog thread here: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/tv-firmware-changelogs-on-german-community/m-p/1846870#M44087

Hey, did you upgraded? Any changes? I am afraid just to update 1320.4, after 2+ years using this model without updates. They provide ZERO information about changes, which is dangerous.

1310.4 was released November 2020, @B0kka has upgraded to 1320.4 (I do not have a 2018 model myself) which is available via the support site https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE50NU7400SXXN/ . Some information should be available in due course but still awaiting feedback. I will report when I find out.

I also got 1320.4 firmware on my 2018 Qled TV.

Hope to see someone get an changelog.

I thought the icons were slightly smaller and therefor I checked if an update had been installed and yes it did.

I noticed that after the update the remote does not work as soon as I turn on the TV but I have to wait a few seconds for the red light on the remote to turn on, then it sends the signal to the TV, but it does not seem to be received or processed.

This also happened with the old firmware (1310), but a little less time passed before being able to use everything immediately.

Other visible changes I have not noticed, everything looks the same as before.

I have noticed that the OS boots up faster compared to the old software. Before the update, i had to wait a bit right after turning on the tv, the menu was very very laggy - one click with the remote was doing like 4-5 actions to the menu....
After the update, i feel like the OS boots up pretty quick and the menu is responsible immediately...

No other visible changes from my side... I have a Q9FN

Same TV but after a previous disaster firmware the one before 1310.4 which messed all the colour tones up. I set my TV to NOT auto update. Yet to my annoyance the TV auto updated to 1320.4. personally I think the brightness and colours are not as good. Don't know why this update is forced on you without any change log so you can actually make a decision if you want to update. And to top it off you can't go back a firmware. Personally I prefer the previous firmware 1310.4.

Hi, I got a 2018 65"NU8000 model tv and just got the message to upgrade. I ignored it because I was curious about any changes following the update but it seems nothing big or is not clear what changes. Thanks to all who keep adding to this tread. I'll check tomorrow after I go trough the update and see if I notice any changes.

After 2 days of the new firmware I would definitely say that the panel peak brightness has been reduced. However the picture although duller looks more like a OLED display picture. I personally prefer the 1310.4 firmware. Samsung please can you address the peak brightness which made the Q9 standout amongst other sets.

Have you done any measurements or this statement is only based by your eyes? I am not an expert, but unless you have some measurements from before and after the update, how could you possibly notice a change?
Please give some examples - in what movie you noticed the change, was it HDR10+ content or DolbyVision, have you done a calibration to your HDR settings? What were the conditions in your room - was it dark or light?
Just throwing something like - my screen brightness is less than before - its not very convenient, sorry, no offence

PS:

Anyway, according to the reviewers, like HDTVTest, the Q9FN (assuming you have the same) was too bright in the first place, so going less bright would assume a more natural picture quality and closer to what the creator intended you to see...So maybe a less peak brightness is not too bad at all

Cheers!

Point take no measurements take just how it looked to how it looks now. I personally prefer the previous 1310.4 being a brighter better picture. As I said the pictures now are closer to an OLED display which is know as being "duller" but better blacks. I suppose it's what you get use to. Annoyed that I turned automatic update off, yet still updated?

hristvic — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 09:41:43 GMT

Yup, auto update when the function is OFF is what worries me too...This is my only concern so far.

If it updates when the auto update is off Samsung surely thinks this is an must have uodate.

Maybe some security fixes?

Or its just the final update for all the 2018 tv's and Samsung wants them all the be on the final update.

I have had the update for almost 2 days now and don't see much of a difference. The picture seems to be a bit better. Other than that, I don't see much new.

I just noticed my plex app isn't playing anything after the update.

Its just giving the circle and nothing happens.

Re: Smart TV UE50NU7400 new firmware 1320.4

JAMES4578 — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 15:32:33 GMT

@Madmaus oh right, hopefully only a temporary issue with the plex app- have you tried a Factory Reset?

Re: Smart TV UE50NU7400 new firmware 1320.4

Roland NK2U — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 15:32:46 GMT

You could be right; this might be the final update. My TV's out of warranty so legally, they don't have to update at this point if they choose not to.

Re: Smart TV UE50NU7400 new firmware 1320.4

Madmaus — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 15:36:51 GMT

@JAMES4578 no I haven't tried a factory reset (I really want to avoid that).

I normally use my nvidia shield for plex (just for atmos) but my girlfriend uses the TV for plex.

I now got an unsupported codec error for one movie and an other just something went wrong.
