This is making me want to be a beta tester. Looking forward to the new colour adjustment app!.
Hey @Philips_Support_P, I understand there’s been a delay in the release of the next update due to the situation in China but would you have an idea as to when you might be thinking of releasing it?
Yes in 10 days or so, assuming our china team can come online this week.
They’re preparing an internal SW update from home now, but since it’s a service update without new features we might only release it to beta list first.
The color adjustment app will be released to beta list probably today.
@Philips_Support_P Do we have “looks” feature still planned in some upcoming release since adaptive temperature control is in place now?

Yes, of course.

Is it possible to add a Full HD test pattern to the Wallpapers.
With a test pattern it’s easier to accurately adjust the brightness, contrast, color and sharpness.
Now you cannot accurately adjust the “color adjustment” with the available wallpapers.
In the current situation to adjust the picture settings for different kind of light conditions,
I rename a test pattern to “a_bg.png” and adjust the picture settings.
The problem is that everytime I restart the projector, it gets replaced with the original wallpaper.
Situation now:
Select "color adjustment"
If I can choose a test pattern as wallpaper.

We already have such an app, it’s just not publicly available yet.
@IvoGrijt What’s the best optimal colour settings (brightness, sharpness, contrast, saturation) to project on the gray colored wall? Thanks.
Hi Prashant., Will the "UI-on-top-of whatever is being displayed " feature be made available ??
this will be useful to change color settings while on a movie for example…
thanks in advance

That would be nice if we could adjust the projector LED light brightness (currently only 3 modes, energy saver, normal, presentation).
When in totaly black room it can be too much bright.
Please, either add new energy saver modes or let user select the LED light brightness.
Also, in energy saver mode, when power is plugged in or not, the level of brightness changes / is overridden (and fan also spinning at different speed) : ( . If I select, energy saver to have a darker image and a silent device, it should keep that state even if I plug power in.

I like the idea of a full HD test pattern image in the Color Adjustment screen.
Can Philips please make this available?
Thanks.

Hello @williammuk it is only available to beta testers. Please join the beta testers list to get access to it.

Hi @RobertoTC, while we won’t be able to display a UI on top of whatever’s playing on the projector itself, we are working on perhaps a better solution. We are making an app that will let you configure the picture settings from your phone, while you watch anything on the projector. So the “on screen display” will be in your phone instead. But this is in very early phase and we don’t yet have an ETA.

Hello @Philips_Support_P, could you kindly enlighten me why such an important tool is ONLY available to beta testers? Image quality is fundamental for any display device. Useful tools that can help users to achieve better image quality (based on each individual’s own preference) should be made available to all. Please help me understand why general users should not be allowed to have this important tool.
Thanks.

many thanks for your response!!!
It’s for our own good. Many users who don’t know what they’re doing can drive too much current to the LEDs. Without letting the fan speed adjust accordingly it may cause thermal damage to the optical engine. After all, it is a lot of light packed into a very tight spot.
Hello @Shahraiz, thank you for the explanation. I agree with you that if the special tool allows uncontrolled adjustments, then it is not suitable for general release.
However, please read the original comments above in this post which we are just asking for the Test Pattern wallpaper to be made available on the current Colour Adjustment screen. To which @Philips_Support_P replied that this is only available to beta testers.
Certainly making available the “Test Pattern” wallpaper to replace the “flower” wallpaper on the current Colour Adjustment screen has all the benefits and none of the risk.
Do you understand what we are asking?
Thanks.
PS: By the way, I noted that @Philips_Support_P mentioned in his post dated 16 Jan 2020 that “This app will be available to beta testers shortly, and to everyone else in the next SW update.”
Do we have a new target when this will be finally release to everyone else? If this special app cannot be released to everyone else yet, then an interim solution to provide the “Test Pattern” wallpaper (and other test images) will certainly be very useful for now. Can Philips please consider this? Thanks.
