Bugs affecting its base functionality?
- type0 7y agoIf it has serious bugs out of the box, just return the damn thing and get a different version.
- newnewpdro 7y agoWell maybe you don't discover them until a year later when you connected some new peripheral on a previously unused input to discover it's unusable but there's a fix for the known problem. Is it really all that difficult to envision a legitimate need for bugfixes on a "smart tv" containing so much software? These things are as much a computer as they are a display. And modern software development practices have veered far into the direction of "ship yesterday, finish tomorrow with updates."
- Slartie 7y agoIt's not that hard to display whatever is coming in on HDMI-1. They usually get that working correctly in whatever firmware version the TV is shipped with, and I don't need more than that. They can even fuck up audio, as that goes through a proper receiver and external speakers anyway and the TV is thus constantly set to zero volume.
- kingosticks 7y agoHdmi-cec is a classic. The implementation on many TVs is riddled with bugs.
- Slartie 7y agoGets disabled by me immediately. I use a well-configured Logitech Harmony remote to orchestrate the various devices, hence no need for HDMI-CEC, which it's implemented differently by anyone anyway (and they mostly don't even consider that "bugs").
- AdamJacobMuller 7y agoYou should give it a shot again now, I also ignored it for years but with my most recent upgrades I tried it out and in some simpler cases, it works well!
