Here the original review:
Bought for a Senior Grundig 32VLE7324WL. Criterion was for me amongst other things besides a decent program sorting way a remote control with large, clearly labeled buttons and good, not spongy pressure point. The Grundig offers the - for me at all the best (for me followed by Panasonic), at least when it comes to its top. The lower shell looks cheap as metallic silver painted plastic and also gets in the operation fairly quickly scratches.
The lady was surprised at the low price (in local wholesale market, he came in early April 2014 449 EUR) and was pleased with the sleek, white Housing frame that fits perfectly with their home furnishings.
I was excited about a in contrast to a year earlier even simpler sorting stations with DVB-C. Now that's the same out-of-the-box and not after hakeligem Software Update at Grundig. Simple DVB-C rangehen with Quick Find, which evaluates the NIT and found in clean well-kept NIT (one thing the cable operator) all the programs offered, on previously unusual DVB-C frequencies, as they are now more frequently digital assignment of the lower special channel region arise. After that, everything is in the main list, in the order, which has signaled over LCN of the network operator. It signals nothing, the programs are in the order in which the packets are found. Now you can already in the main list delete programs or move. So you have ruckzuck away all the garbage and the pay programs and everything that is left, in the order you want. Read only free programs does not seem to be possible, he always shoveled the pay-finished with the list, but it is clearly marked and thus quickly erased.
Rescanning individual DVB-C digital packages is possible with mere frequency indication. The newly found programs will not destroy The main list sorting, but depend hintendran.
Who a detailed assignment list its cable network has (sufficient frequency and associated digital programs, see, eg, KDG Helpdesk - Assignment for Cable Germany or Unitymedia KabelBW helpdesk), certainly can take automatic search also read only the packages you want and let the garbage equal out.
4 favorite lists can click together sicheinfach in a matrix. Normally this is not necessary, since the main list is comfortably configurable. Anyone wanting to use the sorting in the main list after the TV programs Radio programs easily, can be his choice of course move to the favorite lists and the TV selection to another, so there is a comfortable switchover TV Radio about the FAV button the remote control.
We are also pleased that in the favorite lists the channel surfing with the remote control (up / down) is possible without any problems: P +/- jumps in the order in which the programs are sorted in the favorites list. This was not always so, and that's not all competitors that.
DVB-S, DVB-T and could and I did not want to test analog. DVB-S should be just as comfortable in the main sortable list as DVB-C. DVB-T is in any case only temporary solution, which can exhaust the image quality does not even begin. Analog is ruled out with a flat screen by itself.
The image is ok when decent material is sent. MDR-News or MDR-afternoon program (my image quality reference in HD 720p) is very decent, if it is without recoding tapped directly from Astra or purchased from the ARD via fiber (ie everywhere except at cable Germany). 1080i I could not test for lack of appropriate programs or BlueRay.
Old material appears admittedly blurred, even in HD programming. One sees on the Grundig then very clearly the image noise in larger homogeneous areas. The available noise reduction can certainly try again, to my taste it addresses only little collateral damage, but noised it quite effectively. It depends on the personal taste.
Picture settings must of course be adapted individually. Here are my settings for a Senior that it would "more colorful" were happy, because life in itself "pretty gray" would be:
Picture Mode: Users
Brightness: 45 - 50 (depending on installation conditions)
Contrast: 100
Focus 60 - 80 results (according to taste)
Color: 40
Color Temp. Normal
Exp .: Centre
MPEG artifacts Ed .: From
Brilliant colors: Off
Perfect Clear: Off
Film Mode: Off
Gamma: 2.2
Dynamic contrast:. From
Dyn lighting:. From
Backlight .: 100
MEMC: Off ("Motion Estimation Motion Compensation")
Important: If we look at the picture from a slight angle above, it turns toward the blue. So please the TV necessarily as high up / mount that one looks straight or slightly from the bottom of the image.
Terrible, however, is the sound, at least when the device is about 30 cm in front of the rear wall of a closet wall. The small speakers radiate backwards from the bottom and create a plärrig-thin sound, as it comes from 10 Euro pocket radios. A subwoofer there is not in this model. No matter what sound setting is selected, it RECOURSE always deficient. Also available in a mode of equalizer saves nothing. "SRS HD", usually a guarantee for artificially prettified Scrap sound, is almost still the best in this TV. The custom setting with equalizer (the two lowest bands untwist fully or largely) is also still bearable, but not at high volume. Nevertheless, it remains the sticky-thin sound.
After all, there is an analog stereo RCA output, which you can configure adjustable either as a fixed level output or the remote control output. In order to pass on to a standing in the same room stereo and the subject has been done. So that now runs at the Senior, who I bought this TV. Anyone who wants to operate this TV only with the einbegebauten speakers, I can only warn necessarily pretest hear as far as possible. I have rarely heard anything so lousy in 32 inch.
An optical audio output is also on board, I could not test so far, whether even with analog sources (A-TV, Scart, Component in) what outputs or whether he remains silent.
They feature I could not test for lack of peripherals: multiple HDMI, Ethernet, WLAN (integrated), HbbTV, CI +, DLNA, 2x USB, headphone output on left side and so on. The media player, with which you can access USB content was getting used to for me.
Recording to USB possible, the filing is done but usually encrypted and married to the device as with nearly all manufacturers. You can use it externally so do nothing. Who wants that, please let look for a matching device at TechniSat.
If you disable HbbTV (and thus the on-screen at the ARD radio programs Senderlogi prevented), can be an energy saving function (after 30 seconds without image comes from the display) DVB radio without hearing the display to stress. Only you can not see then stop, which program can be heard. Still pretty awesome.
Conclusion: Would not be good enough as a TV from the image here, is logically clear operated for me, has an excellent remote control - if not for the horrible sound. If there is no solution for the external, the unit is disqualified. Too bad, would have nen deserves better sound.
