Ok, hopefully its good.

Ok guys, here is what i noticed in the Beta BIOS update.

The grainyness in Windows Media Player black border surrounding videos is gone.

On my desktop it appears gone aswell, im gonna try several high res wall papers.

Im also gonna try paint

So far so good!

edit 2: Now for sure it seems gone, I tried a wallpaper in which I had grainyness before, and its there no more!

Tried Paint and Photoshop and the problems are gone.

Trying more. So far so good.

Gone from City Of Heroes and Windows XP default Screensaver and Counter-strike:Source.

Gonna go grab my Serenity DVD and see how movies look.

Here you go:

Thanks a lot, Ken!!!!

Ok, heres another update, in BF2 the grainyness was very pronounced before the update now its gone!

Gonna try a DVD now.

I was able to compare 2 Z96J side by side with and without BIOS update, I am now confirmed that the graininess issue is fixed.

Gone in Sonic CinePlayer while watching DVDs. Nothing compared to how movies will look when we're watchd HD content, but watching movies is more than acceptable on this thing now.

Yup, I tried a movie aswell, seems good, w00t!

the old VGA BIOS was A050504.008, new VGA BIOS: A050504.009, and yes, the new 1101 BIOS also supports Merom.

THANK YOU!!!



Well, I shouldn't be dancing with joy until I install it and test it myself, but I trust a couple of the posters here who have and whooooo hoooo!

I'll be testing it myself tonight.

Thanks again, Ken. I'm personally shocked that they released the computers with this problem initially, especially considering how easily / fast they were able to fix it when it was brought to their attention, but I'm just SO Glad it is.

Now, my laptop would be perfect... if I hadn't snapped off the outer part of my headphone jack *sigh*.

this sounds great, thanks to ken and all those involved in making this happen. now im just waiting for the w3j bios

Thanks Ken!

You did an awesome job trying to get this problem fixed and now it has!

Thanks again!

So Ken, if I buy the S96j form Gentech.com, will you guys install the new bios update? I can update it myself but I don't want to risk messing up and voiding the warranty. And how long does it take to deliver to Canada?
