v660 is working great, at least for me, so I would not be bummed if this was the last update for C715

I have the V653 upstairs. I use it with satisfaction.

 

[neophyte1983]

I am on V653 too. Its good and stable.

v653 was good as well, but I had soundbar passthrough issues that were only solved after updating to v660. For me it's been as stable as 653.

Maybe you bring this sound issue from version before, as you update with OTA zip version.
So, to "blame" V653 , you should do factory reset first, to clean version.
V660 is IMG file and previous version (V653) are erased (not updated).

Of course I already tried that, factory reset TV + soundbar, starting with a clean slate, etc. It didn't work and I couldn't use pass through on most audio types.

Moreover, I'm not "blaming" v653, just mentioning that I had sound issues that were not present on prior versions and were solved when updating to v660. Hopefully it could help anyone having the same issue as me

Ahh, OK, as you do factory reset.
Now, many blaming V660 about sounbar connections (as V653 as well)...hehe.
Lucky, I have no soundbar, skipped V660 and happy with latest R117.

some zip file of v660

 

[stasiof]

some zip file of v660

V660 IMG is in zip file.....

 

[davidbz]

so i installed V660 after V645 and what can i say, on gaming i noticed little bit more input lag on V660 , but i can say i get much more clear image, correct brightness and contrast, black level is little bit better, overall quality is much noticeable increase, V660 is best for me what i tested until V645

I think the next Update when ever it comes will have good Improvments.

Good, stable and fast but the worst is that ARC on my Yamaha AVR is not working and it used to work without any issue on v660. Disappointed

I use terrestrial TV lots. Can anyone comment on V677 and the TV tuner, Guide and Channel Lists (inc favorites)?

I am on V653 and there seems to be some issues with the Favorites list - I cannot add or remove favorite channels or select the favorites list for quickly changing between channels. the TV seems to want to select the "all channels" list rather than the "Favorites" list
