Frills like Curved and UHD, which a) is still very expensive and b) is not yet supplied with material (UHD) were not important to me. As is mentioned in almost all test reports and surveys among friends Samsung as value-winner, I have committed myself to Samsung as a manufacturer. Because this TV is the only still includes a twin tuner of the 6 Series, the 6600 was bought.
The package is opened by lying have as promised, the 3D glasses and two remote controls, no HDMI cable (but not listed in the description). After unpacking quickly angeschrebt the stand, plugged the power cord and antenna cable and turned on, TV is on! Class, and all without swearing, comes really rare.
Then you have a few settings to select which source, channel scan, etc. Updates are automatically loaded and then the most delicate issue, connect to the wireless network:
Can be found easily via the menu system, the available networks are displayed on their own, enter the password and hope. In fact, works at the first attempt!
To complain there somehow nothing. The picture is super, no streaks, no shadow when it looked from the side. I have not measured it, but 45 degrees sideways glance are loose inside without the quality declines. Channel switching without long wait. There can be multiple favorite lists Create, which has the advantage that you can create a custom list for each family member.
Now that we often access over the WLAN to YouTube and Amazon Prime, we have found that the wireless connection now and then departs, which is really annoying. However, I can not say whether that is now on TV or on the router.
The Smart Remote Control is easy to get used to at first, but can be like a computer mouse calibrate and you quickly get used to it. This makes the selection and navigation much easier and faster and is in retrospect a plus compared to TV sets without. However, it also finds the cat quite funny when the pointer flits across the screen. But it was not any one cat at home and in the meantime it has also meant that the trouble is, if you follow after the pointer on the screen :-)
3D We haven't tested and therefore no statement on this possible.
The recording capability via external hard drives work fine. We have an old ext. HDD plugged. What we did not know beforehand, the disk is formatted by television before the first use! So before the data secure. After all, the TV will say so in advance and gives the possibility to refuse the formatting. After work, it is then possible to record and watch without any problems on the hard disk.
Short conclusion at the end:
Purchase worthwhile in any case!
