The Philips device looks quite chic, and fits the design well into the living room.
The display is reminiscent of old tube calculators, but better than other models, where there is only one LED as a display.
Operating concept is simple to understand, Philips avoids unnecessary Pling Pling, though some comes pretty frumpy.
The remote fits comfortably in your hand, unfortunately, the keys are quite uniformly, so that you confuse eg Play or Pause.
Positive, it offers all the comfort features of classical player, even magnifying glass, and the time search function is available.
He also remembers the game states in * .avi or * .mkv data even when off, even multiple files simultaneously.
This feature is usually only the Samsung models BD-H / F.
The OSD is concise, a data rate indicator is missing.
The Internet NetTV Philips realized by a server-based solution, so that if
times pending maintenance, you can not take advantage of the deals.
In addition, these Internet functions are quite slow, since it unfortunately omitted a dual core processor.
Particularly the noticeable at Youtube.
But now to the points why this device should no buy,
unless he stands up tantrums to convey the motivation the device directly into the bin. (Software 1.35)
- When playing movies suddenly freezing, where only the unplugging help
- Prolonged use of Youtube the same problem, sudden freezing
-> To reboot logs again the NetTV assistant and the pre-configured apps must be reordered
-> If you turn off the player after use of NetTV, freezes this a / standby /, pull the power plug is the only thing here helps / eliminate this problem is possible by in which you activate the Quick Start function, associated with higher power consumption in standby ,
What have delivered the Dutch / Chinese here is simply an impertinence, end customers expected of such a thing.
If Philips would get his problems as mentioned in the handle with a software update in the handle, that would be nice, unfortunately
I have concerns, inter alia, all BD player from Philips here no hope, as these bugs build well on the firmware foundation, and these problems.
