- Local dimming: Optimized the local dimming algorithm and reduced the halo effect.
Crystal Light:
- Passthrough Image: Optimized the passthrough image quality.
- Tracking Calculation: Reduced tracking algorithm calculation time, decreasing abnormal latency.
- Improved Controller Algorithm: Reduced controller input latency.
Firmware Update:
- Crystal Light Firmware 1.0.14: Fixed several known issues.
Rollout:
- This update will be gradually rolled out to all users over the next two weeks, but is available to download now.
Note: The OG Crystal 90Hz Upscale mode will be included in the closed beta patch. If you're interested in testing it, contact Calvin (r/QuorraPimax) on Reddit or Discord.
