Customer Review

First of all I want to say a few words in advance. The TV is my first in size with 3D and other bells and whistles. Since I have almost no means of comparison, this review should be considered as purely subjective impression.

I will address the following points, as in some other tests and reviews a few things have been addressed, which I can not agree

Packing
Installation / Accessories / wall mounting
Image
Clay
3D
Menu and Others

Here I will give 5 different notes - - 0 + ++

For Packaging:

The packaging makes a stable impression. The TV plugged without stand in several (5Stück) Styrofoam elements firmly and securely held. The distance to the box is sufficient. (A small crash survived the television without any problems, even tested ... :)
The panel is wrapped with a plastic bag. It would be desirable here some kind of foam but it goes that way.
All accessories are packed separately in plastic and stored safely so that it can not fall around.

Conclusion: Well packaged, foam padding would be even better

Installation / Accessories / wall mounting

The installation process is explained in a Quick Start Guide and also people without technical skills should do it. You have to screw in only 4 screws and the equipment is installed (here we recommend a 2 person, but also walking alone)
After the first time you turn the device is initialized and you can make the first settings such as TV channels, etc. This takes about 10 minutes (only DVB-T) then you can watch TV.

The wall mounting is, contrary to some other opinions not soooo complicated. Who is technically and computationally somewhat underprivileged, but should seek help. There is a template, but without which it goes smoothly. The 50 "it is held by 2 angle elements to the wall. For this purpose, 8 screws (preferably 8mm dowels with matching screws and washers) is required. The base serves as an element of the wall bracket (Innovative). The stand is powered by 2 6mm screws under the Panels fixed (here probably some say that would be too little and unstable, in fact it looks shaky and it is, but so ne 6mm bolt, you first have to get broken; with 7.5kg weight from the TV there's nothing to pick up). . In the end of the TV rock solid on the wall with a distance of 11.7 mm to the front. Unfortunately, this construction is not rotating, tilting or height adjustment possible, who can do without it, the money can save for a separate wall bracket.

The remote control is not very high quality, Internet surfing not preparing so much fun, because there is no keyboard is present, since I use the TV primarily for watching movies and television programs, bothers me little.

2 active shutter glasses that are comfortable to wear, the window for my taste too small

Otherwise the usual lies: batteries warranty card etc

Upshot: Simple mounting stand, Innovative solution of the wall bracket, the manual is unfortunately only available in digital form yet:
Note +

Picture:

The basic setting is very good, with some fine tuning is still more to it. Unfortunately no image wizard

DVB-T:. I assumed that would be very bad quality due to the image size, but the device is the least image information well again and the image in my opinion is only marginally worse than on my old 32 "unit (comes naturally on the antenna and the signal strength)

About DVD (via PS3 HDMI). Madness, He takes everything out really what the DVD has to offer. Sharp edges, very good quality, even in the corner areas, even in dark areas: Black is Black.

FILM: about Blueray (via PS3 HDMI): Indescribable ......... Razor-sharp images, great colors, Great color demarcation. Simple Top

PS3 Game: Since only 200Hz (I think) are here and there Bewegungsunschärfen recognizable With Feintunig something better, who does not want should the 400Hz model 50kdl815 buy (about 100 € more expensive)

Note: ++

Sound:

For the size of the sound box well, by default some fader Bass, equalizer by improvable. I hear about the plant therefore for me not important, who does not want to, can acquire the wireless subwoofer from the same manufacturer

3D:

Active Technology

Simulated 3D:
Unfortunately, beginning a flicker can be seen ,, especially when a lamp is on, or the shutter is up, after a few minutes it's either off or you do not notice simply. The image is much darker (by increasing the brightness, much better)
A real 3D effect is not visible, I find, however dieTiefenschärfe increases.

Original 3D: PS3 Game:
Clearly visible 3D effect, the image is sharper, no motion blur or image defects recognizable crosstalk disappeared after a few minutes, power definitely fun but I get a headache, to gamble because I put on a pair of glasses, I play without 3D.

Original 3D: FILM:
Beautiful deep effect, crosstalk no longer noticeable after a few minutes, High Sharpness

Conclusion: nice gimmick but not permanently, 3D window of the glasses too small

Rating: +

Menu and Other:

The device needs after prolonged off state after turning until you can switch about 30 seconds or can start any other function. That's disturbing. (After Update slightly better)
The menu is somewhat nested and you look through immediately, what settings are global and which locally. The menu is not very fast and every now and then click one by something too often. (After Update slightly better)
A big drawback for me is in any case that there is no ARD Mediathek app, although you can HbbTV on the library access but then no other stations more can be recorded because the signal is associated with the current transmitter signal.
PVR function to function properly, it also seems an OnScreen news that a recording will begin shortly.

One small thing that made me happy: The intensity of the LED on the TV can be dimmed in 3 stages.

Conclusion: The menu system and the processor performance is not good. It just takes all too long. Missing ARD Mediathek APP.

Overall impression.

I have the device now been 2 months in use to regret not having bought it. Picture and sound convincing. 3D is good. Menu navigation is bad, but the device you buy so primarily to look and not to muddle the menu. For the price I paid (790 euros) a top unit.
