What does this update do? It fixes some of the issues that people saying:

  • White dots or sparkles intermittently appear on the TV screen when displaying the menu or playing a DVD.
  • The television freezes momentarily, then powers off and then on. This can occur when the TV is tuned to a digital channel, or when auto-programming. Note: This issue only occurs with some broadcast channels due to incorrect formatting of service data on the channel.
  • Problems selecting an HDMI input on a CEC device using the XMB Menu.
  • Problems resolving the finest detail issue of some 1080i 60hz film-based content (mentioned in a recent PC Magazine article).
  • Intermittent audio on HDMI Input 4.
  • Photo Mode issue that may occur when performing slideshow Butterfly – The same picture sometimes continually displays, and the slideshow no longer transitions through the other pictures.
  • XMB™ sometimes does not display.

The set is included 4 light strip pack, I use 2 pack for the top and 2 for the bottom of the TV. It’s pretty easy to install. I’ve taken some photos for your viewing pleasure.

This is how it’s look like when Dioder light strip is turned on

Yesterday, after cleaning up my old stuffs around house. I dug up a SONY Super Metal Master 90 cassette tape. That used to be one of the best cassette tape ever. Is it an antique now? LOL… I don’t know there is people still out there using cassette tape or not, but for my point of view, they will be gone and replaced by new digital techz (CD, DVD, Blu-ray,… what’s next?)
