Owners of Vizio’s 2016 SmartCast TVs had experienced issues with HDR10 compatibility, “green tint” on PlayStation 4, and other bugs. Vizio has addressed a long list of these bugs in its new firmware update for the E, M, and P series TVs.
Improved HDR10 picture quality
Vizio’s 2016 TVs have supported the Dolby Vision HDR format since launch and Vizio added compatibility for the other HDR format, HDR10, with an update in July.
After the update, some users pointed out that HDR10 picture quality was lacking in some areas. Vizio promised to fix it and with the new firmware version 2.2.7.4 the release notes mentions “Improvements on HDR10 picture quality”.
Vizio has also fixed other bugs such as “green tint” on PS4 when using Deep Color, pairing issues with Apple’s new iPhone 7, instances of stuttering/frame drops, and many other bugs. A full list of bug fixes is available below.
The new 2.2.7.4 firmware is available for the 2016 Vizio E, M, and P series TVs that were launched earlier this year. Check the source link for instructions on how to update via Wi-Fi or USB.
