Good device with catastrophic Parental Control

Samsung UE40H6290 101 cm (40 inch) TV (Full HD, triple tuners, 3D, Smart TV) (Electronics)

Customer Review

The TV is high fine. The picture is very good for this price range my feeling. The sound (wall hanging) is mediocre, but still acceptable. Is probably due to the compact housing dimensions.

Operation in the menu I find a bit bumpy. If you, however, reasonably tech-savvy, you get already clear it. Many people of older generation but that probably have their difficulties.

Streaming works very very good and stable at the Samsung. My children suck thus, about the house-Fi, its shipments of the Technisat receiver plate in the living room. I can say nothing, because the TV to the LAN cable depends on the wireless functionality.

After the transmitter programming I've been experimenting with parental controls around. Then suddenly all the stations were back to factory settings. I therefore recommend urgently to export the finished list straight to a USB flash drive (going in the menu). Maybe it makes sense to previously googling something and to get this small software with which you can edit the channel list on the PC. Is there direct from Samsung, but where else on the internet.

And that brings me even to the reason why I have 3 stars deducted. The so-called "Parental Control" is a joke! And a very bad! It consists only in the way, somewhere in the bowels of the menu to terminate all or individual channels. Done. After the stations have also permanently banned. Even for me as an adult! So you want the evening times a locked for the children's channel Watch (and who would not probably), you have to get back shimmy through the complete menu structure, select the desired station there with check mark, then unlock via the options menu and then go out from the menu. Now you can finally look normal TV.
Walking the Mamas and Papas then to bed, watch out, do not forget: shimmy again only through the complete menu structure, select the desired station, then re-lock the options menu and then go out from the menu.

I feel really taken for a ride. Have the Samsung hotline on the phone and explained via email that you can unlock a KiSi on single-use PIN for 1 "TV sitting" normally and this at the next "TV session" then has to be automatically activated. How to properly and otherwise. Comment Samsung Hotline: We report our development in Korea, but can not promise you that this will improve in the coming firmware. Ok. No problem for me. This is for us the last Samsung TV in the family. At least for the next 15 years, until the little ones are just big enough that we do not need more KiSi.

For all potential buyers without small children, however, the device is well worth a recommendation.
