However, there are also a few points of criticism. And that should fix Samsung genuine:
- For a completely black picture you can see where the backlight is seated, a rather strong clouding is visible.
- Default for image is creepy! Even HD-movies look like a cheap soap! Only the setting "Movie" brings a first good result. However, then SD movies are represented exceptionally blurred. There are no separate settings for SD and HD (would really make sense).
- The menu navigation is terrible! Related functions are distributed wild, the online help is not really, and to find the printable manual with Samsung on the Internet is difficult. To read it and understand exactly.
- The remote control is overloaded huge and completely. Many functions could have been put together with other keys. A feeling the keys form (for blind Press) is practically impossible, because you have no idea of where you're grade. And even if many keys you need are together, apart too far!
- The software in the television is lame incredible! I have much experience, but that's bad. Especially you do not get feedback as to whether the TV just does what ... now suppressed again and lands one does not wants to go where.
- The recording function turns off the TV completely one (including backlight), even if no picture and sound comes. That is, during the recording of the TV needs a lot of power, although it would not be necessary.
- The EPG is not practical! You always 4 channels simultaneously and horzontal have to scroll ... The EPG is displayed only for the already visited station if no data is yet because: Only go to the station, then the EPG open again and wait to hire. A automtische upload function (when not in use) as with many external satellite receivers would be handy, an external hard drive or flash drive hanging off anyway mostly for storage.
- Images can not be edited on a PC, because the hard drive is formatted with a private, not readable for Windows file system.
- But the media player displays the most quirks. Fast forward or rewind is a matter of luck. The first 3 or 4 stages are so lame that takes forever to come forward. And then it suddenly goes so fast that you have to back way back ... because the keys react very slowly (Fast forward one step faster: 3-4 seconds), a meaningful use (eg skipping commercials) hardly possible!
- A great mistake: If you want to play a file from a server that can not play the media player, the TV is disconnected from the server! It only comes back to the server when you turn the TV and on again.
Conclusion: A device with good approaches, but folks at Samsung: Optimizes Software on pace and not only on appearance, brings functions that belong together together makes sense. Then the TV is really something! So it is just a glorified monitor, because you have to attach an external receiver, in any case, because the software is really bad. My old Technisat HD-S1 is drangehängt again who has a good record function, a quick operation and you can also use the remote control blind. How do you want the Samsung remote control (is supposed to be suitable for the visually impaired) is really a mystery to me!
