Smart TV UE50NU7400 new firmware 1320.4

[B0kka]

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!

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]

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.

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

[Roland NK2U]

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.

[Madmaus]

@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.
