You said how did I update I told you by Wifi, cable or USB... Ok on TV you have choice update by internet it will download and flash the firmware. By USB go to Site and download the file put on USB plug into TV go to firmware page and click USB..

Is that what you really wanted to know? Its a bloody file you install, not some sort taking apart the display and installing new hardware.

My God! you ever updated a MB firmware? its just like that.

Why do you keep using other electronic devices as examples? I haven't come across any monitors that require a firmware update or that require said updates. Firmware updates for monitors carried out by users is unheard of and thats the issue. You are making it sound that tv updates and monitor updates are common, when only in tvs it is common.

But you're the one with the inability to comprehend, not me. So roll your eyes all you want.

How I feel when I tried to read these posts looking for facts and relevant known information, not just PR guff.

Updating a monitors firmware and updating a TV's firmware is totally different in the majority of cases.

Remember the benq z series that had firmware issues....

http://www.blurbusters.com/benq/diy-firmware-upgrade-for-benq-z-series/

Unless specifically done to allow firmware updates during manufacturing (extra cost and lots of variables depending on features) then doing it on an old monitor is going to be one difficult job for the average user.

You get it too!

He asked me how did I update TV... And I agree I have never updated a firmware on a monitor but I willing to bet.. Its not that much different if the display you bought has the updating process software.

Its more known now in TV because TV come with much more then just TV.. Monitors dont yet offer all that. Go back to a standard TV will that allow firmware updating I wouldn't think so, just like a most monitors there just standard viewing.

I understand and know how you'd update a firmware in a TV, I didn't need to *know* how, that wasn't the point of asking you.

Then why go on and on about tv's.

Ok why can't monitors just update how Samsung do? Samsung update from Windows, the Process is just like me clicking update over Internet on TV. Fool Proof

This is hopeless. May's well smash my head against the wall.

Samsung's firmware updating is the exception, not the rule. Hence ; http://www.blurbusters.com/benq/diy-firmware-upgrade-for-benq-z-series/

Basically, you're making it sound trivial, when it isn't trivial as a blanket statement.

I asked the question what is the difference, between updating a TV and a Monitor.. The answer I believe if both offer the updating process is very little.

He then started to ask my how I updated the TV.. I didn't keep going on about it at all just replying back.

And that process is from 2011.. Could be even easier for someone like you now! Mind blown in it!

I'm in disbelief. My head is in my hands, and the tears are coming.
That was aimed at you. You're not making any sense.

elmuzzy66. · 14 Nov 2014 at 13:43

Shankly you are just trying to make it sound like existing monitor owners will benefit from freesync by just an 'easy firmware upgrade' because your tv can update firmware by many methods.
Is there a list of the freesync monitors being released in December?

Martini1991 · 14 Nov 2014 at 13:46

If OCUK get any freesync monitors in stock to be with consumers before Christmas I'll be very surprised (Pleasantly)

I'd very much expect January and later.

This is absolutely brilliant. You're comedy gold, Shankly. I hope you're genuinely having him on.
