Be very Weary of this update (T-GAP8DEUC-1018.1 - as listed on the site), I have the PS64D8000 and it has risen my black levels, lowered my peak white levels and introduced floating blacks. In a nutshell, when I am watching 2.35:1 letterboxed movies the black bars keep changing brightness, turning dark grey, then black again. This is rather annoying and I have seen reports, especially in America, of these changes ocuuring across the how D series plasma range. I am not the only one. The PQ is quite radically changed, so any calibration will need to be re-done 🙁
If you want to test the FB's for yourself, watch a letterbox movie, make sure the Blu-ray is outputting 24p (more noticeable on this and I haven't noticed it on 50hz yet) and make sure Cinema smooth is of (changes out-put to 60hz when on and raises blacks anyway). I have seen them on Inception, Dark Knight, Braveheart, insidious and Halloween.
This IMO is unacceptable and I would really love to turn back the clock and not update my set. In fact does anyone know how to revert back to an old F/W? Is this even possible?
