Multimedia TV with DVD drive

Let's start from the beginning.
When unpacking can be a slight smell of any chemicals perceive.
This fact has been described, but in the manual and described as harmless.
The odor can be detected even after power for a few hours.

But that is not the reason for the withdrawal of a point.
The reason for me is the sound, which is a part of a successful movie night for me.

But now in order.
The device must first be set up before commissioning.
However, this is no problem, but it should be ready for a DVB-T antenna suitable or appropriate cable connection be present.
The installation runs automatically after a few questions must be answered or clicked and confirmed.

After installation, I had connected the TV to the HDMI input on the PC and performed a pixel test.
There were no visible pixel errors, although the TV is shown as Pixel fault Class II and this may likely give small number of pixel errors.
Free Pixel fault tests are abundant in the network and be found.

Now for the settings,
which like so many things are a matter of taste in life ultimately.

I have selected "Cinema" and off the power saving mode.
The contrast has been set 53,
Brightness at 34,
Focus 16,
Color 40,
Sleep mode disabled,
Backlight high
Noise Reduction Low,
Advanced Settings:
Dynamic contrast medium,
Color warm,
Aspect Ratio Auto,
Movie mode,
Skin tone factory setting,
Color-shifting means,
RGB left in factory settings.

I would also add that the scaling (resizing a digital image) works well and digital signals are processed in the best possible.

This is the case for DVDs, and DVB-T.
With an input signal of 1920x1080 p / i that is of course and with pixel accuracy.

Who has the appropriate CI + card can be encrypted programs decode as an appropriate interface is also available.
Supported USB formats regarding photo, music, film, the / the interested customer / read in the manufacturer.
It is the same with the different DVD formats.

The connectivity options are more than adequate.

Now to the deduction of a point.
The reproduced sound is very used to.
What certainly is due to the design, because of a flat thin orchestras rarely an acoustic miracle is expected.
Sure, there are electrostatic speakers, but that's another story.

For me the sound output was unsatisfactory, which was also confirmed by some other eavesdroppers.
Although it is an equalizer available, however, and not only in my opinion, very little contributes to a sound improvement.
Even the preset sound programs like music, film, language, Normal, Classical leave no so real joy.
Also the result of the "User" setting is not earth-shattering in terms of sonic possibilities.
This indicates the acoustic deficiencies may be caused by the speaker and / or the construction in the housing.

But I would add that fitted to the side headphone jack is the sound from a sound quality.
Tested with DT 880 Pro by Beyer.

But there is the possibility to connect the analog headphone output to a stereo system to effect a better result.
However, the output volume of Medion TV should be adjusted to be very careful, because too high a volume overrides the stereo system and can cause sound distortion.
Properly, however, to get a Scart to RCA adapter and you can be the analog sound through the AUX port to an audio amplifier is connect.

However, better off being who possesses a hi-fi system, which has a coaxial (RCA jack) SPDIF digital input here can be fed to a digital audio signal as the TV set, the corresponding output jack on its back available.
But these are all things for those who want to use this device as the main TV.

Otherwise this TV met my expectations in terms of use as a bedroom TV.

Also the price / performance ratio can be described as good.

Another reason for choosing this device was that I already have a "Medion - LIFE P12007" had bought almost exactly 7 years ago in a food discounter, in which there is a also built-in DVD drive had recently adopted.
All other functions at the "old TV" but are still usable form and as a control monitor, hopefully a few years do to an audio system nor their service.
