Well, this is still a problem. I've just updated to the latest firmware and while there's a new behaviour to note, it doesn't fix the issue. So, after updating to 1270 I tested the resolution indicator and lo-and-behold it was updating correctly without me having to bring up the info panel during changes. I already knew to taper my excitement from previous experience though so I switched everything off, waited a minute and switched everything back on. No prizes for guessing what happens next. That's right, it's back to behaving the same old way again. I've tried everything I can think of to replicate the state the TV ends up after a firmware update. I tried running all manner of apps, input switching, unplugging the ConnectBox from the mains and reconnecting. Nothing I do now will get the indicator working again though. In summary, there are only 2 scenarios where this problem goes away - after Samsung remote support mess around/reset the ConnectBox and directly after a firmware update. In both cases, the fix only lasts until the TV is power cycled and then it's the same old problem. Pretty sick of this now, nobody at Samsung gives a toss, or at least none of them know how to escelate this is anyone who can do actually do anything about it. Pro tip for techincal/firmware departments at TV manuactures - read your user forums once in a while, you might see some actual feedback from people using the rubbish you're shoveling out. It's almost funny, I have a £1500-£2000 TV here that can't keep track of simple information like current resolution and HDR status! smh, I give up.
