Operating + Construction: 4/5 stars
------------------------------
Many write here that the operation would be a nightmare, illogical menu, slow response to inputs, etc. This is in my view absolutely exaggerated. The first thing you should do is an update, this one can simply hang fast ne string from the router to the TV, or use the supplied wireless repeater, both take a total of 2 minutes then the TV responds as it should be. No crashes, no slow menus, no errors. The remote control responds immediately by pressing a button when you halfway aimed at the infrared eye of the TV, no better and no worse than other TVs also. The remote control is also completely understandable that pressure points nicely crisp.
To illogic of menus: is as illogical as advocated here are not, they are just different from Samsung and LG. One has to get used, but that does not last very long. About the Home menu, you can change the settings for picture and sound, as well as network / streaming etc. One can for image settings Although not create your own profile (or just one, I think), but you can the existing 6-7 (whiteness not exactly how many there are) any modify. As you can rantrauen quiet because the default settings are not optimal, as with any TV. The TV remembers then the holding or holdings which settings are valid. I have, for example, the default settings "cinema" and modified "alive". Turn to the HDMI input to which TV then (cinema when PS3 + PC) switches itself on the respective setting "alive" during TV shows. When I look a BluRay on PS3 or PC, then the TV will change to the saved of me "Cinema" preset. The Unlike guggn for movies, then I change a button (to be exact, there are 2 clicks) to another preset. While gambling next time, you have to switch back. That's for other TVs also otherwise and costs after the initial Einstellerei more than 5 seconds.
One problem I had with the operation after all. The TV did not save when I modify the "Cinema" preset that I have chosen the color temperature. After you have turned on the TV again, he is constantly jump back "warm" on. Thankfully, there are at this menu item a sub-feature called "Custom color". Clicking dadrauf, you can see the exact values for "normal", "cold" and "warm". If one chooses beispeilsweise now "normal", the TV remembers last setting.
To build you have to say nothing, is easy.
About dne integrated tuner I can not say anything, I use an external satellite receiver.
Sound: 4/5 stars (considering the possibilities of a flat-screen TV)
---------------
Surprisingly clear sound, the one in his sound power may change. Enough to watch TV from absolute, is sufficiently loud, ups and downs are the acceptable TV again. To watch TV or for the film evening, it suffices me to gamble then I take a headset or the sound system from the PC.
Image: 5/5 stars
----------------
After taking the TV for the first time in operation, you will be guided through a quick configuration, the TV displays a few pictures there and you have to decide for one variant. Because choosing a profile is created and stored alongside the anderne preferences. The default settings are okay, but not optimal. I have the picture certainly set a whole day and always nuanced changes the image settings, by now I have a picture that I find to be very good. Point. So much patience you have to summon up today when buying a TV unfortunately.
I am absolutely convinced of the panel. The black level is great, absolutely uniform black. In my model, I have no torches in the corners. Clouding not know the TV also. Better is not. In the TV, I think it's good that it can be nice and bright (if one adjusts) without that the picture oversubscribed or in the other acts pale.
Personally, I have the HD Natural Motion are issued. Then the famous "soaps" disappears - or "Lindenstraße" effect. One can say that is obtained according to the source, a good (digital satellite channels), very good (HD-satellite stations) and fantastic (BluRays) Bildqulität. This is of course a matter of opinion whether an image is now very well or "just" is good. One has since a distance of 2.5 meters (with the 42 inch model) are also normal digital channels absolutely convincing. Even analog TV is a short subjective test Check my part, depending on the broadcaster quality, at least satisfactory.
HbbTV, network (4/5)
-----------------------------
I have all but tried shortly. By pressing a button you have access to the individual Angeboiten the TV channels. Impeccable retrieval and playback of individual shipments. Could not detect any problems. The quality of Aufzeichnungne is certainly a bit iffy, but that's up to the transmitter stations, not on TV -> Tagesschau ARD was pixelated bissl, Stromberg of MySpass was there better. Are also quite a few good apps. Hab about Laola1 TV installed me, then you can dne next Classico on the TV look instead to the PC via the corresponding website :). Overall, I use this Smart TV but rarely. More interesting is the streaming feature of the TV. Are you about on the laptop a folder on the network, you can browse through the TV folder clearly and select and play about individual films and those taxes of course on the TV remote control. A fast wireless internet or just provided a network cable, it works great! One star deduction, because the service in the Smart TV menu is in fact a little too slow.
The total product gets from me 4.5 stars. Since you can only awarded all star here, I forgive 5 Stars. This great image, the low input lag and good black levels are the decisive factors. Absolute buy recommendation

The backlight in the high 70s / low 80s range strikes me as the best compromise between a nice bright picture and the intensity of the color black.
