Television issues and firmware bugs and buyers guide for your next TV

Welcome,

I am interested in TV's and want to collect infos, known issues of certain firmwares and general drawbacks of certains TV's, like 3:2 pulldown for 23p/24p which results in judder.

I know rtings and they do a very nice job, but I think we should discuss it also here.


I want for example a new TV, with full 4:4:4 / RGB chroma support but also native refresh rate support for 23Hz / 24Hz without judder, but (!!) both at the same time.
Which manufacturers do support this?

I also created back in December testvideos which can detect 3:2 pulldown of your TV. You only need a camera with manual setting for exposure time. Set it to 1 second and take a photo. Best you use a tripod
So you can do a quick test of several different HDMI modes like PC mode, game mode ... .

There are for example TVs which have 4:4:4 support (PC mode) and native 23Hz / 24Hz support but NOT at the same time.

This is also the method of rtings

I am interested especially in following manufacturers:
Samsung
LG
Sony
Panasonic

Do you know of any other manufacturer who is seriously about their products? Let me know and I add it.

I can also summarize it in the first post, we'll see how it is going on.

You need a camera with manual setting for exposure time.
Set it to 1 second and take a photo of the screen. Better use a tripod

Download Testvideos

Here's a video of rtings of what to expect from the results:
