Let's start with the Smart TV. The Smart TV via WLAN to operate is recommended in any case. The connection established by the TV is so susceptible that the Smart TV regularly ends up in demo mode. The device then re-connect to the network to succeed but indeed Smart TV work until when the TV is disconnected from the power two minutes. But not always. Via LAN cable, it works much more stable, but woe to the TV also here has no more desire. Then frustration is programmed. Mostly the device then reports the Philips server are unavailable and there is nothing. At this point you could also save the Smart TV. A simple connection to the Internet without Philips Server is not possible.
The bobbling video images (BluRay, game console and Chromecast).
Some of the content shown stutter extremely. It seems it would just skipped pictures. Here the image enhancement and True Motion Clear LCD is the culprit. This image enhancements are available only in the activity of "TV" (Image Settings). If you switch from this, the images still bucking. It would appear as if the TV can not really deal with 24P content. The bucking concerns, moreover, Amazon Prime content that will be played back from an external player device on the TV. If the activity but switched to play (the image enhancer are then no longer available in the menu) it works flawlessly. However, now must be dispensed with 600Hz picture enhancement. (All named setter were also tested on a LG TV to the setter exclude as sources of error. On LG everything worked perfectly.)
So why would you buy such TVs, if the functions are not really exploit properly? Had waived this nonsense, the device 150 Euro would certainly again cheaper.
Therefore, for the otherwise good image and great design 5 star, for software and feature only a poor or average. Therefore only 3 stars in total.
