Samsung UE46F6470 117 cm (46 inches) 3D LED-backlit TV (Full HD, 200Hz CMR, DVB-T / C / S2, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, HbbTV, voice control) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Last Update:
Meanwhile, probably the successor series with letter H appeared (UEXXH6470). What I could see at first glance, has the UEXXH6470 a quad-core processor and 400Hz (CMR) instead of the 200Hz of F6470.
The subsequent review, however, refers more to the UEXXF6470 (2013'er model) !!!

What I can talk about the F6470:
My predecessor was an old Sony Trinitron tube 100Hz Black, who was getting on in years. After a long, intensive search and investigation, I am -through Zufall- encountered the F-series of Samsung. Due to the rather simple presentation at Amazon could come from a secondary or Discontinued. However: The F-series (2013) is the successor of the ES Series (2012) and therefore the currently most current.
Via Express ordered in the afternoon and get 11am the next day. Amazon as always exemplary and reliable !!

Technology: Edge LED display -mattes
Subjectively for me an absolute good, high-contrast image, at an angle (opening angle) to about 45 °. In further perspective, the colors and contrast begin more and more to fade. Viewpoint -subjektiv- definitely better than the ES6100.

Tuner:
Installed is a so-called. Tribble tuner. However, only one of:
DVB-T (Terrestrial, ie via antenna)
DVB-C (Cable)
DVB-S2 (satellite)
However, it can only activate one of them, whichever signal is present. This has the consequence that a switch / program change while recording is not possible.

Clouding: not really
when changing channels (about 1 sec.) you can see -for absolute Raumdunkelheit- in the lower left corner a very slight clarification, which I do not want to call Clouding. Is a general TV see absolutely no effect. Care must be already exactly when you change channels on ...

Image Quality:
Subjectively better as the ES6100 / 6300 and very very much better than the ES5700. The picture quality is despite Edge Technology Top, high contrast and deep blacks, which can be controlled down even further. If I then, however, almost to black. A matter of taste ...

Sound:
The best which I have ever heard at a FlachTV and is in quality of my old tube in every way (although the sound yes definitely smaller / shallower). A soundbar is for normal gazers as -from my sight unnecessary me. But again, a matter of taste ...

WiFi:
Connection to Fritzbox 3170 easy trouble-free and reliable connection stability with 54Mbit (the box can no longer).
// Update: The Samsung F6470 will only transmit in the 2.4 GHz (b + g, perhaps even n) network. 5GHz network is not supported. On the Fritz box 3170 (WLAN 802.11b + g) comes this fully with 54Mbit to (is only 1 meter next to it) the Fritzbox 7270 (802.11b + g + n) oscillates between 39 and 52Mbit, in which case the signal -for me- by two walls by need. For surfing the Internet reaches the thickness and for MediaStream alla AVI (DivX / XviD), this should also be sufficient.

Connection: PC / Notebook / Laptop
So the PC or notebook / laptop only has a DVI connector, can also be transferred only the image signal via DVI / HDMI adapter. Line-in SEZ. separate connection for the transmission of sound, there are not on TV. While there is a connection to the 'HDMI / DVI' named, in which case this should, however, differ from the other 3 HDMI connections (other than the fact that these backward and not going sideways) reveals itself to me not really, because it is this is a full HDMI port. ?

Recording (PVR) via USB:
Works with HDD and USB stick (if it has more or less performance). The volumes are, however, reformatted the TV and then on the PC (Windows) can no longer be read. Presumably copy protection reasons. 1 hour recording in HD (720p) requires about 7GB storage in SD (576i) approximately 2GB.
// Update: After little research on the internet, it is quite possible using Linux to stick to read on your PC. Samsung PVR formatted well in XFS format. Not tested by me ...
As mentioned in the "Tuner", are indeed installed three, but for different input signals. This has the consequence that a program change while recording is not possible. Who wants to see a program and simultaneously record another, should establish an external recorder itself possibly. Is there here on Amazon for under 100E (eg Xoro). However, recording and at the same time media stream via USB, LAN / WLAN and Internet is already possible. The tuner is / is just reserved for the recording.

File playback On a side note: After Amazon meantime now but introduced a more detailed product description, an error has also equal crept: !!! description is at the 40 ". He indicated here with NO -vermutlich- wrong Who wants to, should be on 46" change or greater, then the correct USB is given support. On the Samsung website does not distinguish between the sizes of functions. !!!

Playback from USB Stick own experience:
Plays well weitgehends all common formats (MP4 / DivX / XviD / MKV). When playing MKV USB stick he -for me- unfortunately bitched "format not supported" or similar - why whatsoever-. --update: On the PC (VLC Player) ran this without problems. After I hunted this once by a converter (Super2013) (Picture & Sound Direct Stream so only a Repack) now runs this on Samsung. The Samsung is probably a bit sensitive to the structure of a container file (avi / mkv etc).
USB stick with NTFS formatting is also supported.

Addition:
Test with AVI + MKV file on USB stick directly at the TV and via streaming ALL SHARE (LAN / WLAN):
Tonumaschalten (multichannel) - YES
Time delay sound (ie picture and sound out of sync) adjustable - NO (is exempt external soundbar via Digital Out set via the basic settings)
Switching subtitles - YES
Time delay adjustable with subtitles - YES
external '* .srt' text file possible - YES (of course, only if both files have the same filename attachments.)
Note: Simply press on file playback headquarters 'Enter key' in the TV remote and set preferences ...

MediaStream via network, WLAN etc .:
If you want to stream over the network needs a so-called. DLNA server. A pure drive sharing does not work. Anyone looking for a halfway reasonable alternative to the Samsung ALL SHARE dirt -Sorry, but can not otherwise Betiteln- should perhaps times Twonky costs (sorry) view or the free alternative Serviio (both for Windows). This also allows a release on DVD disks achieve the PC. I've had enough anyway from Serviio.
WLAN is generally suitable only conditionally for streaming. The susceptibility in WLAN can be very high-perhaps simply times when necessary after Googling. Tip: If you can do without wireless -nicht- even DLAN could envisage.

USB disk:
USB Stick: Corsair Flash Voyager GT (16GB) worked flawlessly.
ext. HDD: Medion Drive-N-Go (500GB) will also work, but this has not via an external power supply, but only via a USB Y-cable, which is to guarantee the power supply.
ext. Hard disk: Siemens, no extra power source not (only single USB cable provided) worked, probably due to lack of power supply
A ext. 3.5 "HD with extra power supply I have unfortunately to no test.
Noted:
Who has any problems with his HD, should try to "USB / TV / Camera" Port in any case. Coincidence? My ext. 2.5 "Medion has only to these works, the Memory Stick on all USB ports.

SmartTV:
Contrary to the previous series (ES 5 / 6'er) has this on a dual core processor, which is reflected in performance when browsing the Internet and in the Apps noticeably noticeable. While the TV can not compete with a PC (for the CPU power is simply not enough), but is much better as the previous series (ES 5 / 6'er) and perfectly acceptable.
The Web browser is rel. kept simple, but fulfills its purpose well. Playback of Flash content is possible therefore Youtube and VoxNow etc. via the web browser is possible.
Still noted for the appp selection:
This is -for my Empfinden- 98% scrap. Myself interested but anyway only the Web browser and the Youtube app. The rest interests me zero and therefore all I can no longer write.

Memory Internal:
Installed are probably 2GB, with probably some it goes for OS and pre-installed Apps. So you first clean up a little (unfortunately can not be removed all pre-installed Apps) remain about 1.4GB of free memory left.

External Keyboard / Mouse:
I -for fun out my old Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mouse 800 connected via USB Stick 1000 (Bluetooth). Both work at first. I think that other keyboards should work -at least the Basic Functions. Special function keys will naturally lack drivers do not work. The station sorting and setup the way also worked excellently with your mouse much easier as with the remote control. Just all the channels went through, selected with the mouse and moved forward. Shortly thereafter, by order, ready. So now program switching context and high / low volume would be possible, you might replace the remote control completely by the mouse & keyboard. Unfortunately, not all apps are supported by mouse / keyboard.
Gimmik: Right-click context menu is to select [off; SmartHub; Menu; Tools]
Update: Logitech MK260 keyboard and mouse also runs ...

Remote controls:
Included are two pieces. One for normal TV and a touchpad and minimal buttons. Personally, I find that with the touch quite banana and inconvenient for me. That reminds me a Touch with QWERTY / QWERTY keyboard would have preferred just because a text entry on the remote control to the puzzle is. For TV, the normal, for SmartTV / HbbTV etc. easy mouse and keyboard. But is likely to remain the bottom line is a matter of taste. Positive: Both are and therefore everyone can choose.
Who has a Android smartphone, of course, can also download the Smart Remote app PlayStore. Thus, the TV (both as the same WLAN network are) can also use the smartphone control. Works for me anyway without problems.
Update: Unfortunately, not all apps are supported by mouse / keyboard, which you unfortunately have to rely on the touch remote control.

The Power
(UE46F6470 about 900E) is between 30 and 115 watts, and 30 watts of course only come when the LEDs are pointlessly switched completely down
Basic setting without Samsung Eco
Dynamic: ~ 115 Watt
Standard: ~ 90 Watt

Basic setting with Samsung Eco (easy) -said easily be turned down even the LED here.
Dynamic: ~ 90 Watt
Standard: ~ 70 Watt

In my present: Dynamic without Eco, backlight 15 (max.20) = 80 watts ...
UPDATE: Meanwhile, Dynamic without eco background with 12 (max.20) = 70 watts ...

Standby: max. 1Watt

A brightness sensor can be in the menu, although set, but has no influence on anything. Ergo, I am assuming that this is simply not available. ?

Most important connections:
Cable; SAT; USB (3x); HDMI (4x); SCART (1x); VIDEO IN; IR (with extension); Headphone jack; Optical Out; LAN (RJ45)

Foot or wall mounting:
The TV comes without assembled feet. This would be -for use as Standgerät- mounted only (is mounted and secured with 4 screws). When used with wall holder there is not much to note. The hole spacing is Vesa 400 x 400 mm. Most fittings go sideways (Cable / SAT, 3xHDMI, USB etc.). The LAN port (RJ45), 1xHDMI; Scart, video along with optical out and the CI module go backwards. When used with SCART should be at least 5cm be scheduled to the wall, when using LAN and CI module (the module projects when using something back out) at least 3cm.

Conclusion: Buy recommendation resounding YES. I have not regretted it anyway because of the dual-core processor and the yet -for me- better picture clearly stands out from the 5 / 6'er ES series.
-> Conclusion after about 8 months:
I like the part still like the first day. The part has been turned in the months just 1 time for some reason now and again. That was it but also already with the problems. The network does not report any problems (WLAN and RJ45 cable via dLAN). Disconnections, Clouding (even with background illumination = 20) and the like, I can not determine. The update via network and via USB stick ran problem-free and smoothly.
