Panasonic g10 firmware update!!!!!!!

[battousai147]

Just updated my g10, i was wondering if anyone new anything about the update and what it was for, still no video on demand, and still have the flicker using 48hrz in 24p so not sure what the update was for if anyone has any info would greatly appreciate.

Can you describe the flicker and how it appears to you? I am genuinely curious. Kinda amazed that this problem still exists in these pricey units.

I noticed it mostly in scenes with light backgrounds, it pretty much just looks like the screen gets brighter and then dimmer really quickly, over and over. Kinda like a lightbulb if its not getting enough power. It made me wanna rub my eyes lol

yeah, i kinda though the same thing but it really isn't that bad, but i do set it to 60hrz instead of 48hrz, i know this is true 24p but the g10 does 3:2 pulldown correctly and it doesn't take away from this amazing set at all really. but on the update side, it wasn't a firmware update it was a software update but i still can't find anything about it or what it related to, so again any info on the software update would be greatly appreciated.

i meant isn't true 24p, sorry!!

Not sure what the update does. But i highly doubt a firmware update will correct the flicker problem since the tv only supports 48hz and 60hz. Firmware update isn't going to make the tv support any other refresh rate as far as i know*.

Yeah i kinda figured that, but i would like to know what the update did do!!!!!!!!

The update did add amazon video on demand, it took a couple of hours for it to show up. As far as to were to get it, if you have an ethernet cable connected to the tv, then just go into the viera cast and it will automatically say new update available and you just click to update and it will do it just like the PS3 does, no need to find it online, and use a memory stick. which i like, i like that you just update straight from the net to the tv no middly man so to speak.....

I need an update for the X Series and i'd like to know if there is a source to download from.

Thanks
