The most important consideration when buying a TV is certainly the offered price for the image quality. With this rating it is fair to take into account in what price segment it moves; in this case we speak of a television upmarket.
And that is also evident in the picture quality. Although the TV has the direct LED backlight illumination over fantastic black levels and excellent contrast. In the sharpness and especially with fast movements can, however, not so much points. To be more specific: My 4-year-old predecessor, a 42 "Philips PFL7403D, had compared the sharper image and with very good 3ms response time especially with fast movements is one step ahead.
Can collect Plus points the TV contrast again in good and regular illumination as well as the brightness, which makes use of the TV, even with relatively strong sunlight possible by the virtually not reflective screen.
Sound:
When it comes to sound, one should have no illusions. We're talking about a very flat TVs, so that resonance chamber for the two puny 10 watts speaker does not exist virtually. The sound is still not entirely bad and also has a decent surround effect. Who does not expect a cinema sound, so may well live.
Multimedia & Performance:
Is becoming increasingly important in the Smart TV era indeed the consideration of the whole multimedia features, bringing today's equipment enhancements. Samsung, as one of the major players in the market of entertainment devices play here of course far forward with and so the range of apps is relatively large. Through the built-in quad-core processor performance is also largely in order, but also to fight hard in some places. So the application is for example in the Amazon Prime app so hakelig and haltingly, that it is hardly possible to enter user name and password correctly. Even the built-in Web browser, which can be scrolled with the included remote control simply by swipe, shows bockig: The feature to scroll a web page by stroking with his finger on the remote control is simply unusable because of the underground performance. For other apps, however, everything runs absolutely smoothly and without interference. It seems to me often to be a problem poorly adapted software. So something that can be solved entirely.
I was pleasantly surprised by the DLNA connection. While for example not have any thumbnails of videos shown, but scrolling through the directory and then play even large and well-resolved Videos (though not full HD playback possible!) Is quick and can for example also my Apple TV in the Performance behind themselves! The TV has a quad-core processor definitely steam under the hood!
Conclusion:
Overall, you get for your money a decent and energy-saving Smart TV, the relatively good (though not perfect) comes up image, a good performance and multimedia equipment creates the day and visually simple and elegant fits into any living room.
