The remote control:
- A quality image and tidy
The fan:
- If he runs because he is barely audible (when playing a movie anyway)
The Speaker:
- Are visually appealing and well finished
- The rear speakers are wireless radio controls (to the receiver, which is typically hidden under the bed, from here then there again lead up to the boxes)
- Can be solved from the stand in order to hang on the wall (it existert a recording on the back for example a hook or screw), then take up a lot less space
The sound:
- Is already pretty good for home theater systems, but you have only one experiment with different sound profiles,
tease out the optimal sound, especially with Blue ray is often too much bass set
The on-screen menu:
- Can be well controlled with a wireless keyboard, unfortunately there is no standard for exiting an app or to navigate to the main menu
(Keys: Escape or <-, or click on the arrow "back")
The Blue Ray Player:
- Plays so far without problems
Streaming:
- Streaming mkv / DVD / vob without problems via wifi
- The most popular formats like avi, mpg are also transferred
SmartShare:
- The free software "Nero MediaHome 4" makes the Windows PC to the streaming server, is easy (select files on the hard drive for indexing, launch Server, streaming starts) to use,
- Shared on the server / PC files are not found on the file browser on the player sometimes, then you have to click several times through the folders until the files are then displayed again
LG Smart World:
- Clearly the weakest part of the otherwise successful device
- The application is sometimes unavailable or does not start or hangs, here you come back with the menu button
- Start Apps is not possible partially
- To utilize the Smart World, an application stating the address and other personal information is required
- The application is hakelig, worked only after resetting the already specified password (via forgot password function)
- The web pages of Smart World (eg registration, application, apps) are slow and not very user-friendly
- The apps displayed on the unit provide enough to be readily and frequently used, even prior to installation identified by the weak rating
- On the website of LG, there are other, even free apps, which it is not clear how to get them to see on the device
- The Youtube app is partially viscous
- The browser has sometimes problems with Flash sites, is viscous, sometimes crashes
- A firmware update was necessary so that Youtube can be started at all
- Stored stations in the App "vTuner" (Internet radio) have been lost once
Miracast:
- Media content to be streamed to the player / TV from the smartphone / tablet
- The necessary software is available on the smartphone / tablet until Android 4.2, so the function is probably not for most usable
Conclusion:
- A successful device in which the essential functions such as Blu Ray playback and streaming are clearly the strengths
- The many smart functions, which are interesting in its approach, can not convince because of inferior quality often (still)
- Another firmware update would be desirable to resolve the many little problems
