Hardware good, but major weaknesses in software and operation

Samsung UE32ES6200 80 cm (32 inch) TV (Full HD, triple tuners, 3D, Smart TV) (Electronics)

Customer Review

I have tested the TV for several days while I have both positive and negative aspects are noticed.
The hardware of the device I find very good, there exist in my view all the possible / necessary interfaces. I have the TV connected to a HDD / DVD recorder (via HDMI and SCART) and also to the PC (via HDMI), it works correctly. The picture and the sound is in my opinion very good. The 3D effect I could not test, because no glasses are included (which I find very sad; in many other devices include the glasses supplied).

The software of the device, however, I find extremely improved and not at all matured. The menu is in my opinion much too complicated, impractical and unintuitive. In addition, I had major problems with the PVR function (recording of digital channels on an external hard drive). If you look at recorded with PVR films while forward or rewind want, it comes now and then to error messages and playback stops. Then the TV off and on again to be turned on, make things work again normally. An employee of Samsung hotline advised me to a firmware update and to it sometimes with another hard disk to try. Both could not solve the problem, the problem also occurs with the latest firmware and a second (new, fast hard drive from a good and expensive manufacturers who also exactly the requirements regarding. Speed, size etc. entsprich that me from Samsung hotline were told) on. Moreover, I find the forward and rewind at PVR recordings especially annoying as you quickly to fast-forward several times to press the same button to example, but you have between two key press always wait about 2 seconds, otherwise the TV shows no reaction. If one wants to coil with the fastest speed in front, you have 7 times the same button at intervals of 2 seconds ... Watching your movie files (which are not included on PVR) using a USB stick or hard drive is functioning normally - come here no error messages and also the coil is here more comfortable / faster.

I find the price / performance ratio very good for this TV and can recommend it on the whole. However, for those who value PVR (USB Recording) or a simple and intuitive menu navigation, should not rely on this model better. Let's hope that Samsung still get these issues with software updates in the handle.
