Despite software defects a TV with a great picture and an amazing sound

Video at Amazon.com See About this television is so much written, especially here in the Amazon reviews the feedback is very mixed.
Therefore, I simply times created a video in which I deal with many of the promised things and they bring before once, especially the menu, so everyone get an idea of ​​time itself. So if you want to get a live impression time of the device itself may simply watch the video. Here in this written review I go to most of the things mentioned there again a detail, so who wants to watch a video, can also here simply read all (by the way, the annoying one on Amazon is always 10 minutes time, I therefore ask my apologizing speed in the video, time was short ^^)

To the video should be noted in any case that it was my umpteenth attempt to create a video. In the experiments previously hooked always something, twice I could not even turn on the TV remote control! I had the whole week never before. In this last attempt I have then sworn to leave just keep running, so you see such errors times live in action. However, the TV just seems to require a certain lead time to load all the data VLT. first must everything will be loaded into memory, no idea. Previously I had the TV off again and have turned on him at the beginning of the video, this time I did it just started and is not turned off and everything has quasi smoothly. Generally speaking, that software is probably already become much better, Philips as well as definitely still needs reloading, however.

So, but now to the individual, addressed in the video points:

IMAGE QUALITY:
The picture quality is almost always the single most important criterion to a TV and on her there are nothing to complain about. The image has great colors, an incredible deep, is very plastic and is razor sharp. So makes TV fun. Of course, a BluRay most benefits from it, when you look Avatar, you have even without 3D a very vivid picture with a lot of depth, which is considered but also for HD channels. I was always very impressed by the Sony Bravia my parents, because he had also a great, glaskares image where you never really missed the 3D function, but this is the picture quality Philips forth at the same level. Really great. My last LED TV had enormous problems with dark or black areas, because he has just swallowed everything and you could see little details. This is no problem at Philips.
Even old Nazi documentaries that night becoming run on NTV or n24 through the TV. The starting material per se remains may be old and grainy, but even these ancient pictures have a certain depth and dynamism that I have not seen before so, with my old tube certainly not in my TCL television but also not.
Therefore, the picture quality gets a clear one with asterisks and smiling sun.

3D (including money saving tip!):
WoW. Excellent. Absolutely great. As I said, the normal image already has a large depth and looks great. The TV has a feature to extrapolate the normal TV picture in real time in 3D. Although this is not yet comparable to correct 3D movies, but looks class. The BluRay version of Game me the song of death, from the TV in 3D grossed looks stunning and could only be a few years old, so is the quality.
If one then looks at a real 3D film Avatar in 3D, for example, then it verschlägt an almost speechless. Absolutely outstanding. An incredible depth (I repeat myself). So you have to not go to the cinema to watch really good 3D, that you can now also at home. The instrument is equipped with four 3D glasses, which is also great. If you need more then should VLT. still go to the movies: The 3D glasses that you eg get in CinemaxX, also work with this TV, so you can save money so again.
If you have subscribed to Sky, you can let yourself unlock the 3D transmitter and the TV automatically detect the 3D image and switches to 3D mode.
The glasses are very comfortable to wear.

Ambilight:
In the video shown: Summary:
A great thing. You get used to it very quickly and I think I would miss in a television without. The image appears larger, more dynamic, more lively. And the TV in the dark is no longer so hard on the eyes, it always seems as if one had a small light behind the Fernseher.Gerade if you hang the unit on the wall is a great feature, this model has only the right and left ambilights, the more expensive models have up and down a strip, which again enhances the effect and more enjoyable. Just watch the video times, is really a great thing

MENUS
One of the main criticisms here at Amazon: The slow menus and generally not optimal software. Who runs Sky with an external receiver, eg a good Satelitenreceiver or a Sky receiver will it interfere hardly ever. All in all, act the menus a bit sluggish, sometimes they crash or as the Smart TV requires forever to load. This is really annoying and who buys a TV for a lot of money, which is angry about such mistakes sure because something does not have to be. Therefore, I give this to be very great device even one point less, for a maximum number of points one has thus not deserve it then also really everything fit, even if it does not really bother me in the normal TV everyday.
Hopefully here soon remedy Philips delivers and ensures an update for better menus and fewer crashes.
But as you can see in the video, if everything runs smoothly, the speed and operation of the menus very satisfactory, just the fixed navigate via USB or network has impressed me since Philips then but did a good job in terms of software, I have at seen other suppliers already slow

USB / NETWORK
To take up the newly specified point we get equal time to the USB and network features. You can connect an external hard drive and then look about movies, start a slideshow or listen to Musi. It works quickly and without problems, most formats are recognized and played back without any problems. To my knowledge, the Philips can no mkv formats with DTS sound, but who has something like this. Also over the network works very intuitive access.
If you have enabled the desired movies or photos one needs no Apple TV or Sony Media Box you can easily access to the TV via the network on its media. This is absolutely great, and works for me so far without any problems. Just a pity that you can not stream LOVEFiLM content on this path. Incidentally, this is completely impossible, unless one includes a laptop or a netbook. Too bad that Amazon works only with Sony, this feature I would have also required at Philips

SMART TV
Is also connected directly to the obrigen point. I always wanted a TV with Smart TV, in practice, one uses this function but then less. But you can theoretically connect the TV via cable or Wi-Fi to the Internet and has Zugfriff on a variety of media libraries as ARD, ZDF or access to Youtube or various Video On Demand services. Who can tell by the way in this regard me how can I get the max cathedrals app, would be a very nice person, I find it just is not, I do wonder whether Max cathedrals and Philips have completed Zusammearbeit. Otherwise, as I said, LOVEFiLM has no own app. Although you can directly surf the TV in the network, but that is so uncomfortable that you should prefer to leave it. The Smart TV menus need for my device whatsoever realtiv long to load and navigate the always takes a little.
That leaves in terms of Smart TV capture: Nice to have, but you really need now is not. I would always prefer to connect a laptop / netbook and above all the chosen! Content.

ANDROID / iOS Apps
I do not know if there are the apps for Android, I have only iOS devices. Via iPhone you can use the basic functions of the long-distance relationship via Wi-Fi, most comfortable is all about iPad, because there you can eg search queries or other text entries (mostly in connection with SmartTV) enter easily on iPad keyboard the text, which is clearly more pleasant and comfortable is as via remote control. You can also navigate through the program very nice guide and jump directly to the selected program on the television.
What unfortunately not yet funktionier is streaming the television image to the iPhone iPad. While this is to be read in the advertising for the device, Philips wants this feature but replacement delivery until the autumn. Since I'm very excited.

Recording
I could not test for lack of external hard disk. Although I have those two in order to use them with the 6007, you must also be formatted from the TV, and so far it was not possible for me. As soon as I have to visit a new external disk devices I will test this function and report here. If you follow the other reviews but this feature seems to work fine, what you'd expect at the other software problems is not necessarily. It would be interesting here to know if the whole works also via an external receiver (which I doubt) only only if you have, for example, the satellite dish connected directly to the TV or.

TON
Ultimately, even the sound. I always find in such television a criterion untergerordneter importance, since in most cases allowed to run the TV sound over a plant. I do the same for years, without exception, like this. Now it is in this TV from so that I actually find very good sound when watching TV and the amplifier really only'm wearing when I watch movies, otherwise I am with the television sound more than satisfied. It is clear, and for that the TV is so incredibly thin and very powerful. That really, pleasantly surprised me at my previous LED sounded the tone more than horrible. So also here two thumbs up.

Conclusion:
This TV convinces in terms of image quality, 3D effects and sound. In this regard, I also highly recommend the TV, it simply provides a top image, dynamic, lively, crystal clear and with great depth. So makes TV fun. Are one also functions beyond important, it looks different. The menus are relatively sluggish, the software looks a bit in need of revision per se. Smart TV is nice, but you do not need. A really big plus that is almost a unique feature that Ambilightfunktion that makes the TV again significantly more pleasant is ..
Who uses the TV via an external receiver (such as a Syk Receiver) should have nothing to complain of television, and in the case he would have earned in my opinion, all five star. But as the TV it is comes with all major ports, including satellite connection certainly be some people who want to use it without additional equipment, and then the inertia would bother me a bit, but I do not know if this is for all devices of this kind so.
I am very glad to have this TV, Ambilight and 3D are a stunner.
So much for the Philips 6007 3D Amiblight LED backlight TV, if something is missing or unclear, just let me know :)

Addendum 15:11:12
There are now in the software update with was introduced on iPhone / iPad long tere expect from me possibility of streaming the TV program. Say, if you have the TV in the living room and would like to cook in the kitchen or the bathroom during football goes running you can just grab his tablet, select the MyRemote App and can continue to look at the Tablet. This works very well, but you need in a good Wlanrouter when the signal passes through several walls, otherwise checked the transfer. Furthermore, you can apparently only stream when you get the signal directly via the terminals of the TV device. I have, as mentioned a Sky receiver and I've found out if it is not yet possible to stream and its contents. If who knows whether this will work, I would be happy about a message, but I think that it should not go. That's the only catch here and unfortunately quite annoying, but probably this is simply due to technical reasons. For future updates I would just wish that content from all sources, whether external receiver, Smart TV or network can be streamed, then it would be absolutely great. Thus, the TV stays at 4 stars. Would that also work with Sky TV would be for me a five star device, despite remaining shortcomings
