>>>> Starting Up / Delivery
The first operation takes place very easily. The feet must itself be mounted with 2 screws. The device is then very firmly and can not tip over even once got even more shaken in mind, which is really very tough. Small disadvantage by: The device is therefore not swivel. An adapter supplement for mounting on the wall is also in with. Incidentally, also a power cable and remote control with batteries. Oh yes: The unit is silver, not white!
>>>> Connections
The unit itself is very special. Especially so, since it is actually touted as a top product. Quote The 42LF5610 can treat yourself to a new luxury products and brings with the brilliant LED technology theater quality in your own four walls.
So there is in my opinion 3 verschmerzbare shortcoming that should not go unmentioned that are absolutely bearable but for me, as they restrict me in any way.
On the one hand, the device has only receiver for DVB-C (cable) and DVB-T (terrestrial / antenna). So no DVB-S (satellite). In addition, there is a problem that the device has no DVB-T2, for: after 2017 layer is in the bay with Freeview. Viewers must upgrade their equipment from the receiver as useless, it should not be possibly solved by a firmware update. No problem for me, since I already have a built-in TV receiver (satellite) in the hard disk recorder look, but many a likely disturb.
In addition, the connections are very limited on TV itself and even offers fewer opportunities than my 5 year old Samsung, the replaced this unit. After all the basic needs are met:
Connections:
1x antenna
2x HDMI
1x S-Video
1 x Video RCA / RCA Stereo
1x Scart
1x USB 2.0
1x CI +
Outputs:
1x headphone
1x optical
For the basic claims it is enough, but if you want to connect multiple devices should have an HDMI switch or regulate an audio receiver.
>>>> Smart TV
For this purpose, the unit has no Smart TV functions. Well, in times of Amazon Fire Sticks, Apple TV media player or similar devices, the Smart TV is not a significant problem. But those who would like everything in one unit, is out of place here. Oh, there is not even WiFi.
>>>> Image quality
Let absolutely nothing to complain about the basic function of this TV set, the picture quality, because there are. Have the set via SD-TV, HD TV and DVD and Blu-ray tested eyepiece examination understood with any instruments I did not go.
SD / HD-TV
Really good to very good image quality. Even SDTV does not look that bad. HDTV is because, logically, better well both the public service (720p), as well as the private HD + (1080i) there really ausschauen very good.
For me important to playing Blu-ray was very important, which is why I did not address great on the DVD playback, which is really good.
I tested the LG 42LF5610 a Panasonic DMR-BST720 Blu-ray Player. Has been tested with the following Blu-ray movies:
Avatar, Domino Live fast, die young, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Exodus: Gods and Kings, and Wall-E.
The picture quality is really great, in fact, since there is nothing to complain about. No stuttering, no clouding, absolutely smooth image reproduction, rich black levels, absolutely top.
Although 3D is not present, but I can do without it, as I still another TV device possesses that can play 3D.
>>> For if the device is appropriate
The device is best suited for those who can do without the TV on satellite receiver, smart TV and tens of connections. Who is a very good image reproduction is only important is operated top with this device and must accept any compromises in this respect.
Conclusion: I am absolutely satisfied with the device. While the LG 42LF5610 is a device which still advertises its topicality within the meaning of New 2015, due to the lack of a satellite receiver, no DVB-T2, no Smart TV function and just a few connection options, not quite up to date but since the basic function is impeccable, there is of me still 4 star.
