+ High contrast (one must also make a little down)
+ Full HD implemented well, the picture is very sharp
+ 3D: works great with active shutter glasses - do it in 3D films always quite dark, otherwise interferes with the unfortunately (flickering light and also it reflects in the glasses)
but is really awesome, (clear advantage of active shutter technology unlike Glasses) find the 3D home even better than in the cinema because it seems even sharper
+ Game Mode: very important for the Xbox otherwise input lag
Settings for Xbox: brightness up, contrast down, Dynamic Contrast made, gamma up - otherwise the place dark too dark and can not see anything (especially if you come into the bright dark) ... unfortunately provides the xbox only 720p and not always sharp HD contours, it shows naturally in so nem large TV more
+ USB slot: tv and even directly from the USB stick recognizes photos, videos and music in all possible formats (like you're used to from the DVD player)
+ Rießengroß: 55zoll are not to be underestimated, looks at home even several times greater than in the store)
I recommend only at more than 3m distance from the TV, especially if you also often looks away (see cons)
+ Design: super flat, thin edge, a little getting used to but an everything (but is certainly a matter of taste) in particular, yet elegant stand
+ Price: very favorable for a 3D LED TV 55zoll
- Watch TV in standard definition: as I said, a minimum distance 3m ... I myself am sitting around 3.5m away, which is absolutely awesome to watch movies (in HD) but can watch TV in normal one then unfortunately but recognize individual pixels
but is not a criticism of the TV, because it is simply due to the poor resolution of the material
- Slight clouding: therefore gibts nen trigger, I do not so far even with a 3D film noticed (just across a darkened room and when the scene takes a little longer, because the eye then adjusted to the darkness)
I tested this with a black test pattern, you only see when the room is completely dark. Interestingly, the Clouding is there in the film mode more to observe than in Standard mode ...
In the film, it struck me just on the edge, with the test image shows but unfortunately also in the middle of the TV two slightly brighter area - I'm afraid that's normal for LED TVs, who thus not kannn life must resort to a plasma.
- No 5.1 audio forwarding: While the TV has NEN optical audio output, so you can all the vessels infected with HDMI to the TV and to pass the sound through the audio output to the system / amplifier, but this "swallowed" the Dolby TV Digital 5.1 ( so I use this not audio routing)
- Only 3 HDMI connector: For me personally, unfortunately too little, because I have a set-top box, an XBOX, AppleTV and a DVD player use - have me here Umstecker a cheap HDMI helped (3 to 1), but the has some disadvantages, as he then noted TV only 3 different image settings (every Buttons I have other settings, depending on whether I remotely look normal, movie or XBox Games) and is likely to lead the Umstecker too little loss of quality
+/- Smart TV & Internet: For this I will not say too much, because it does not need anyway. Practically, the operation of the USB flash drive (if you have no DVD player that can) and that you can watch YouTube videos directly on the TV (though it will not play here in sufficiently good resolution for me ... is probably due to that the TV, the HD playback via the WLAN not hinkriegt)
All in all, but really is a top TV at an unbelievably low price (the Saturn was on offer around 1,222, -). 1 point deduction there because of the slight clouding and the lack of 5.1 audio routing.
At the end I want to briefly explain what are the differences to the more expensive series of Samsung:
> "Only" 200Hz CMR: as far as I know, Samsung built into this model a 100Hz panel and converts the signal to 200Hz high. I find absolutely sufficient, I also believe that you can hardly notice the difference
> No MicroDimming: the better models of Samsung use LED Microdimming. As the only works purely by software and the LEDs sit still just on the edge, I can not imagine that the improvements to the visible results
> Maybe they look for in the more expensive models that Clouding is prevented, but that would be pure speculation here ... probably can occur in nem expensive model as well
