I have a feeling that the footage is more blurry than previous ones. Maybe Edge 148 is better for my camera? I have to investigate it more.

Great photo comparison, very revealing, you have a Lens focus issue,
look at top center photos of red car in upper-left-corner = perfect focus, but center vehicles all blurry. Lens has smear or Focus has shifted, it wasn't this bad in your other comparisons.

Excellent comparison of 6Nk vs official, v4.03 has higher sharpness in all 3 levels than 6Nk which is the purpose of MODs, to offer a difference from over-sharp stock firmware. Can tell VIOFO has reduced sharpness from v2.61.
Video comparison seems to favour 6Nk Sharp 45-55-65 over stock.

These are small crops from one frame. Top photos are from the left side, bottom are from the right side. I'll show you the original frame tomorrow, but I always concidered center of my camera as the worst. The lower the sharpness level the more it's noticable.

probably best to roll back to the standard version and see if it is ok, if it is go back to the modded version, if still locking up let @BCHobbyist know so he can have a look at the modded version to see what might be the cause

Thanks, I often use the REC button and this was the second time it happened. But I will install Viofo's newest beta firmware and see if it still occurs.

After updating firmware always select MENU > Default Setting for maximum stability.
No reports of video lockup/freeze have been made about any MOD including MOD-6Nk.
Need to troubleshoot your A119S for other causes including using official FW and opening the cover plate and checking the ribbon cables.

I always perform "default settings", now I'm using the official beta and no problems so far. I'm not saying that it's caused by moded fw, maybe there is an issue with my memory card or with .ts format.
But as I said before it has happened only twice during weeks of testing, and it only happened while using .ts format.
I have formatted my card and will try different firmwares to see if the freezing comes back.

Test using the official with TS format selected, will do the same here and see if short 10 second REC on/off or 55sec to 2.55min REC on/off have any effect. Now that I type this I remember an issue here with A119S using official v4.02 and REC off, will try to replicate.
 
Sorry for my dissapearance...
I have been out of town for a while and just got back.
So I'll be able to gather more samples and post comparisons soon.

Everything's default + CPL

Don't know, but not liking the output of this one (colors, sharpness, artifacts), will move back to 6NH
Great rural highway blue sky footage. Agreed the sky is slightly blocky with increased sharpness, usually the higher bit rate reduces that effect.
Everything else looks acceptable but again its individual preference and Focus of Lens which decides acceptability.
This is where IQ MODs offer more flexibility for owners to customize their Dash Cams.

Here is some footage, sharp high 63, it doesn't look oversharped for my taste.
It looks a bit over saturated.

WOW! That was the quickest Beta Test ever! Thanks for great footage in that parking lot, perfect spot even on cloudy day.
This footage is excellent example of Sharp 63 High and what happens when you set Hue to red values. That red license plate lettering almost jumps off the screen!
Rain storm here but sunny someplace and be interesting to see what happens to blue color tones.
