Customer Review

At first glance, it creates the device to collect Plus points: The picture is brilliant, installation guide solved exemplary. Impressive the incredibly low power consumption (less than 30 watts at a comfortable brightness). The possibility is running sound off the screen completely like, one comes to a satellite radio with less than 10 watts power consumption.

The menus are mainly well translated into German, but often interfere paraphrased abbreviations that do not even would be needed due to massive available space: "Stations wi standby updated". Dollar question: Is the "w." show "is" or "was"?

The remote control is not convincing: even after two months, it is not yet possible to me, they go to take the hand blindly and without knowing to look in which direction they are considered just. Furthermore, after two months already, a new battery pack was due.

Creepy, it is then in the range SmartTV: When the inserted USB media device at power change fundamentally after a few seconds unswervingly to USB player, thereby being up to twenty seconds busy to get back to really tune in. An unspeakably annoying habit that also not be switched off.

I have a five-year old media player that has played to date just about any video format that I accused him. The Philips device time here far pickier: Approximately 10% of the video files so far I could not play, especially BD rips can not be played. Subtitle support SRT is present, but the character set must often be corrected by hand.

The rest of SmartTV functions is even more disappointing. Apart from a few media centers here determined mainly Apps image for which the supplier then would like to have money again. A useful Web radio Seeking eg still in vain. Many of the apps work hakelig and at times also not. The YouTube app for example, it does not like, when to skip forward in video: This often ends with a sound cacophony and a freezing of the screen, which can only be stopped by pressing the Ausschaltknopfs the appliance. Compared to a Raspbmc system at the same Internet line occur when streaming with the Philips device disconnections more often.

As a pure TV I would buy it again, in combination with SmartTV in any case.
