criticisms there are three areas, the image settings, sound settings and the media player.
Image Settings:
if things go on TV, which has dark areas, so at night, dark rooms, etc. is the entire image darker. Samsung calls this energy saving, I call the moronic and obnoxious. You can circumvent this if you switch off the eco-settings and the screen, the "Natural" setting selected, and make the settings of color etc from there. I had the "Standard" setting and because it was to be with the automatic darker. the settings "dynamic" and "film" I did not try out, I was glad to finally have it off. that's just annoying, but easy to get around if you know where.
Sound:
I use the optical output from the TV to my AV receiver.
the TV has everything DTS, AC3 5.1, PCM stereo and more .. Class. I had a WD TV by itself which arrived live audio format as a media player which realized. the TV can not do that unfortunately. I often watch series and movies from the computer that are sometimes stereo, DTS or AC3 5.1 .. is clear. Unfortunately, the Samsung media player that does not notice. he remembers only the last setting. if you had stereo PCM and now a movie looks with DTS, you need to start watching the movie, take a break, go to the menu, select ton, additional settings, digital audio output, audio format, and then you can there select DTS, or AC3 5.1, depending on what the source. an infinite getippe damned badly solved. I miss the wd live already.
media Player:
a full DLNA player and then not used properly, a great pity. you can not fast forward streams from the computer, only with an extra button for 10 seconds each projecting. if you take a break, or time switches, can the FilmStream no longer look from the same point, the Samsung loads the film from the front, so no resume. Enjoy inlet pressures at 10 seconds, if you were in 1st 43. has already happened to me when I got off the wrong key in the dark. I miss the wd live again.
I test even if I connect the wd live again, or hinnehme so. after all, but is less getippe and less power consumption. Let's see if I get used to it or whether Samsung is improved.
Conclusion:
a class from the TV screen and plenty to do even in the smart area. Who does not use the media player, has no problems. the thing is already great.
