What determines 70% of all flat TV users I to the headphone jack, a 2.1 sound system connected because the sound as used at most flat screen TV would be unbearable otherwise. Now comes the Hammer: This connector can not be louder or quieter place on the TV remote control (to mention on / off or mute all). Even if you completely off the TV speakers in the setup does not work that! Apparently, the no Philips TV! This means that I have to get up at least 10 times during the commercial breaks at 2 hours of TV and advertising unertägliche by hand on the speaker mute and at the end again has to face in! The joke, however, is that you can make the Headphones port on tens submenus been louder or softer, but just not with the loud / quiet key! (That alone is almost out of the I send the TV back and get myself a TV from another manufacturer. This makes for me 2.5 star deduction in the evaluation.)
Not up to date I think that when you change channels, the current EPG information about the selected stations are displayed automatically. Otherwise, the 2 HDMI ports are rather ridiculous for NEN 40 inch TV, I would have needed 4 since I use 1 PC, 2 game consoles and a Blu-ray player to it (now I have to stop permanently appropriately).
The useful web browser was tucked unobtrusively unfortunately the menu item Smart TV, instead of the one offered by on the same plane as Smart TV, and Skype. USB keyboards are meißt not correctly diagnosed and then at best be used with US keyboard layout. And unfortunately, the browser favorites page uses the available space not effective.
A picture-in-picture function for all image sources would have been nice as well as a brightness sensor for automatic adjustment of screen brightness to the ambient light.
Addendum:
- The switching times are lame after last software update become better (about 2 seconds in HD 4 seconds).
- When playing a movie from the hard disk and pressed the button for image settings (the black bars on some movies to zoom out) the movie is stopped and switched to normal TV reception. I do not know what that is, and then continue the film you have to then only again by tens menus fight and possibly even to the last position in the film reels.
- When turning on the TV it needs up to 20 seconds until he at all times respond to the remote control
- With an attached USB hard drive (with movies / shows it) dauerts even longer. 5 seconds then there is a TV guide to see and then the TV jumps without asking directly to the directory of the hard drive. Pretty annoying when you really just want to television but the hard drive does not want to take on / unplugging.
- Very annoying is that the brightness of white areas such as subtitles or credits texts varies continuously strong. At scene changes I could still understand, but I have even seen in still images. Particularly irritating it is when operating a PC via the TV and the brightness is constantly changing. Maybe my TV is just broken, no idea. (Edit: I have faith now found the setting with which you can turn off this nonsense setup TVSettings-picture Digital Crystal Clear Dynamic Contrast:. Off Phew, again lucky..)
Retrieved from "sense and simplicity" unfortunately no trace so far in this unit.
One must of course bear in mind the TV software update could improve much. If this is the case, I'll update here in accordance with the text. (After today's update I like for example the "TV Guide" significantly better, aside times of the duration Werbeeinblendung the wasted space which one should better use for the TV Guide.) Edit: Apparently there are even two TV guides that look very different and operated !? A data source: Internet and one for data source: Transmitter. When changing the data source can apparently even old TV recordings go "lost".
