Firmware 1.09 released for 34M2C8600
JFYI. Update can be done via SmartControl software.
Small report on this Evnia: bought it on launch date, current prices made me wish I had waited a little but all in all, still think it is a wonderful screen.
Currently known "issues", v 1.06:
- Ambilight's status is not remembered after power off. Must be turned on manually every time the Display shuts off (including e.g. when pixel refreshing).
- KVM Switch -> PC Win 11, USB-B, PC is still on, video is out, moving mouse/keyboard isn't enough to wake up the PC.
- Workaround: press power button on PC, then KVM lights up instantly. If the mouse is in the PC and in the same state, it wakes up. I tested both USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 modes.
- I'll test this with v1.09 and report.
After FW Update:
- Energy consumption pop-up is back
- Now there's a "light enhance" slider after selecting my personal profile (still there)
- This makes black gradually wash out to white.
- Screen went to the HDR Game automatically mode and well, it's been a while I haven't used it this bright :P... Amazing.
Current amount of Burn-In: nothing noticeable. Using also w/ Win 10 for Work/Productivity.
Pixel refresh doesn't disturb me at all currently.

Okay, update on this one:
The issue still persists on FW 1.09. I will contact Philips and report on their feedback.
Ambilight also disables if PIP/PBP is enabled/disabled if Follow Video is selected, then defaulting to something completely different than the previous settings (before follow video). This is the kind of feature you'd expect on a premium device, or?
