Hi guys,
For anyone experiencing the green flashes when you're using a connected device on your MU series TV, can you share your:
Feel free to post any videos/pics showing the issue, or any other relevant info too.

Thanks for the quick reply
on the uk website...

I type in
"ue49mu7070"
I get two options:
ue49mu7070TXXU
ue49mu7070LXXN
I can't tell which is my TV. However, they both take the newest firmware (1290.3 - Dec 16th 2020)
Are they the same download, regardless of which link I use? I don't want to try to install the wrong software (although, you would assume that they are designed to NOT install onto a TV that is incompatible!)
ALSO
**Have many people had time to try the new software? Has this seemed to solve the random HDMKI white and coloured flashes?**
Thanks!

AH, so on the back of my TV, behind a second, smaller. removable panel, I found a Model number tag saying "ue49mu7070TXXU".
(Oddly the software check only gives me "UE49MU7070")
I will update later this week...
Can anyone share their experiences with this software since updating...? Does it seem to of have solved the intermittent problem of the split-second flashing of white/colour with HDMI sources?
Kinda of the fence whether to wait for an "Over-the-air" update, as that might mean Samsung are more confident in it? Also concerned about MORE problems arising!!
Thanks all in advance and a merry xmas to all!

@vangeliis some good news on the green flashes, though will await further feedback.

@MonkeyStitch Firmware updates are often firstly available by download to USB before OTA.
Certainly 1290.3 is available for your model as can be seen here https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE49MU7070TXXU/

Yes, eager to see what other MU owners think.
I'm a bit surprised that nothing is mentioned in the changelog. Is it time for me to visit SpecSavers?

I updated my mu6740 yesterday, played on xbox for about an hour and it's now worse, more frequent with longer and more colour. So not great..

Not good to hear @Chrishorrocks69 ... have you tried a reset after updating?
This is why I am skittish about updating too quickly. I kinda want to wait for more feedback. I am still getting occasional, mainly white, flashes from Xbox/PS4/Blu-ray player, but they are less frequent since I did a factory reset a few weeks back
(I did a HARD reset, using the service menu access and rebooting to the absolute beginning)
My flashes are now a few a week, rather than a few a day.
I don't want to upgrade if this means the matter is going to get worse, rather than better
Can more people chime in after upgrading to 1290.3 ?
Thanks

I upgraded to 1290.3 more than a week ago and had no flashes (only used the HDMI-ARC input that's connected to my ShieldTV). Yesterday I changed input to watch BBC's Perfect Planet in HLG and when I changed back to HDMI-ARC-ShieldTV the flashes came back 😞
Not sure whether this is just a coincidence or changing inputs has something to do with it but it is so frustrating.
