Degraded picture quality after firmware update v1028 Samsung

by Sirchir - 7/2/12 3:16 AM

Has anyone else experienced a decline in picture quality on Samsung LED TVs after a firmware update. I have a UN46D6400 that had a wonderful, vibrant picture. After the firmware "update", it looks much worse. It's like looking through a film over the picture. Also now have vertical bands of light and dark across picture. Really not cool. It really shows up when displaying darker scenes. I have a theory - I think it could be some type of copy protection added in the new firmware to keep people from video recording (just a theory at this point.) Please let me know if anyone has experienced this. Thanks!
