Philips 50PUS8204/12 picture settings and issues

Been playing around with settings again, got fed up at not being able to afford an oled tv so decided to play with the hue and saturation and try and match the screen to my phone playing HDR content.

This tv is pretty rubbish at HDR 10, the colour just goes from the image, even turning colour to 100 makes little difference so I turned optimal hdmi off and to my surprise the image is pretty good. Ok my phone can do brighter bits but overall I was pretty impressed at the results I got. I will firm up settings tonight, write them all down and update this post later but everything looks like it's in HDR now.

anyone had a recent play with settings? A full list would be really helpful. Seems a bit different since my last software update. Connected to sky q box
 
Can confirm updating to latest software resolves most of the previous problems. No more white flickering and motion problems.🙂
HDR still not great.
 
Says version 9. Can this be updated?
You can update to android 11 but Philips have not released the official ota update.It is available via usb update from another website.By the sound of it you are happy with the android 9 update so just stay with that.Philips are looking into resolving the dark image on hdr so another reason to hang fire.
 
I thought the last update fixed something, I am now using this as my PC/work screen and have replaced my living room TV. It's a shame it took them about 3 years to fix the flickering!
