Did someone knows what's new in firmaware 3.533 for KDL-50W809C?
How are people finding this new update? Any major issues to report?
Im finding the TV perform much more 'zippier' at this stage (although I did do a factory reset). Changing channels via YouView seems to be far more responsive too.
I've had one crash so far when trying to play a 4k netflix video the screen froze green, and then no other netflix video would play, also turning to any TV channel still shown this green screen. A reboot solved the issue and i've been unable to replicate it however. I also agree the TV does seem more responsive (no factory reset ever)
Hi All
Ive moved the issue about HDR Game mode into a new dedicated thread. It can be found:

Cheers
So far so good the new FW seems quite zippy, doesnt seem to have the lag issues of the previous version, early days but as I said so far so good.
I found on my tv new screen settings, like: move screen and 14:9 display.
Updated last night & all was well until about 10 mins ago,whilst watching ch 83, the tv switched itself to the home screen(app page) and the message youview has stopped, I pressed ok, then tv & it"s back to normal now,getting sick of the glitches lately,will see if there"s any improvement
At the risk of it all going pear-shaped. It looks like we've got the firmware we've been waiting all along for.
DD in Amazon - tick.
No more lag in the menus - tick
No more bashing away at the power button - tick
The issues that will become to light over time are:
poor wifi
poor performance in netflix and especially with Amazon.
and will the BBC fix iplayer!
This update has improved the whole TV function. Menus are massively smoother especially under game mode where it used to lag like hell. HDR works fine for gaming and TV, shame the tv does not have local dimming or bright enough to make it work properly. Also Amazon finally has 5.1 sound and is much smoother to use too.
Issues still prevailant

OK, I was just watching BBC 24 News (CH107) and its just bombed out and threw me back to the Android Home screen - I didnt get a YouView error message or anything. Something to keep an eye on anyhow !!
