    Telkom 1TB Deal for R999 Wireless LTE

    I got this deal last week to replace my overpriced satellite internet and it's definitely been an improvement in responsiveness. I have noticed weird behaviour when I use LTE on my Huawei B315. During peak time, on both 1800 and 2300, I will get about 6megs. It will occasionally boost to 30 for...

    Still not working. I was hoping the newer firmware fixes the audio issue I'm having on YouTube. It's not a deal-breaker but just thought I'd try the update.

    Yes it's clean. Perhaps I should try redownloading or maybe a different flash drive.

    Hey everyone. I'm having some trouble installing firmware J1127 and I'm wondering if anyone can help. The TV detects the firmware on the flash drive but when I hit reboot to install, it just restarts the TV and does not change anything.

    Hisense Q8600 Thread

    In the Netflix app, when you select a movie or series, it shows a preview. That preview switches the profile if it's in Dolby Vision. I compared the black level of my Cinema Night profile to when it switches to Dolby Vision. When set to Medium Local dimming and 100 brightness, I see no...

    The local equivalent of the H9G will be replacing the Q8600. I recall it being mentioned that it's launching later this year.

    So I've done some testing and it seems when Dolby Vision content is playing, the backlight is set to Medium local dimming and a brightness of 100 (Dolby Vision Bright profile). Not sure why this decision was made by Hisense but at lease it is active.

    Perhaps an issue with HDCP? I see that unit uses 2.2 where the TV is likely running HDCP 2.3.

    I've resorted to watching Netflix on my PS4 but of course I'll be missing out on the superior Dolby Vision. The local dimming is a must imo.

    I should add I'm on firmware J1114 if that makes a difference.

    I meant DV as in Dolby Vision on the built in netflix app. You can notice when it changes profiles when the black level increases dramatically. It's clear local dimming turns off at that moment and remains off until you stop what you are watching.

    Hey. Is anyone able to access the backlight settings when watching Dolby Vision? It's greyed out on my unit and it seems DV disables local dimming completely.

    I noticed the backlight setting gets greyed out when watching Dolby Vision on the Q8600. It also seems the local dimming is completely disabled as I can notice the black level raise a lot. Is there any way around this other than not using Dolby vision?

    Thanks for confirming. Surprised it's not downloading OTA. I'm assuming it's a beta of some sort.
