Why risk bricking a TV?
By chance, I tried to see if there is a new firmware out for my 2012 model of UN55ES8000F, and it looks like there is indeed a version 1056 (it downloaded it from within the TV but I have not allowed it to install).
I checked with the official support page from Samsung for the UN55ES8000F model:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/UN55ES8000FXZA
and the latest firmware listed there is still 1054.4 from November 5, 2013.
Can anyone please enlighten me as to what is new with this 1056 version (fixes or gives something new) ?
All input is appreciated!
