Beautiful core, most rotten Software

****** ******* Update 15.06.'14 3 weeks well used.
with the new 1:20 software have been incorporated, that it has been rendered useless for me such a lot of mistakes. The Automatic Updates had never found an update, which was ready for download at Philips - so it remains always "up to date". Next in the text, although all together are one or the other "app" useful, but severely flawed - by Philips own interface.
I also had the problem that it asked me mode when entering the "Smart TV" always looking for child safety, whether I want to set up for - and after 10 times I wanted to put a stop to, and found that the "Setting" Button has no function - the dialog box disappears only when a "click" Cancel.
Internet capability I wanted to test - with the specially "open internet browser" After 3 restart by unplugging the power cord I finally reached the point. Laborious Navigate with the arrow keys, I wanted to save me, and served it with the Philips own app - but very well hidden keyboard - that did not work - restart pull with power cord.
This time I navigate with the arrow keys - A dialog box appears (Software Information) - but surfing on the keyboard, not the dialog box - Pressing the OK button has no effect. 20 minutes to I 2x had a non-functioning internet browser.
This put me in such a rage that the device is sent back.

As described below, you should wait until a medium for 4k is published. And then .. with sophisticated software
Although this player in many tests is test winner, so it is probably the theoretical scope - WiFi, Optical Out, Miracast, but .... Practically I had with my 60 LG player a lot less problems.

*********************************

m general, I think quite a lot of Philips - but I much interfere with this unit.
I wanted to replace my "old" LG BD player because of the network with my server strong problems had to open the folder. In addition, I wanted to get off my LG-train - because the true pioneer of new technologies, however, are terms of customer support and updates are a little further back.
Now, my requirements were actually low - Miracast, good Netzwerkkompatiblität and 3D capable (though used rarest).

Well, this was well rated and in spite of some senseless 4k scaling, I ordered it with good intentions.
Get him I had was "extra" stuck in a slightly crumpled cardboard, on its underside with an adhesive tape, a microfibre cloth - which was believed to have been forgotten in the pack. Well, pictures of it I put up.
The Touch elements have a certain serenity that work very sporadically and barely provide feedback - a brief increase in luminosity is quickly obscured by a finger or goes entirely in bright sunshine under.
The other is again enjoyable - even boot-up and shut-down times - I know worse, but it has been going on - especially if only insert one DVD you want to gaze film. The drive runs very quiet in a pleasant sound on and off.
Menu is relatively simple and works for me but not quite loving.
Now the ordeal on the network. Cable quite simple. NAS found and works equally bad - just that movies get displayed no more metadata. Only a list of movies and only selected the placeholder for the metadata is displayed.
I feel as weak - it does not expect that you can be considered only 10 movies on your PC / NAS or whatever has, and then Zorro flips you a good deal.
Next serious problem - if there are more than 55 films in a folder, then the list is cut off after the 55th element - and it did not work!
Furthermore, the lack of adaptability is critical. Overview you can just use the default settings, no re-placement of elements, no color schemes to choose from and no view mode, if you otherwise want to have a list of what, or tiles.
Furthermore, I would have expected that the remote control has a keyboard on the reverse - as it already is in Philips.
A firmware update I could do just about USB storage device, since it had never successfully online which found.
At least one functional update system would be beneficial to get unhappy customers at least of a step against itself.

Further Fetures are negligible - SmartTV is like most devices practically just a label on the package - 4k Altimeter contributes only with 4k TV and / or 4K really content what - but the medium is 4k until coming and whether the player then the emerging standards support .... questionable
