- No radio button to switch directly between TV and radio operation. (I use here the satellite reception and my separate satellite receivers have such a radio / TV Shift), no radio text display in the radio mode.
- Radio and TVkanäle are messed up in a channel list, so no separation between the two. This makes sorting and locating transmitters cumbersome.
- Be able to absorb the ansich positive way via USB to memory stick or hard drive television programs fails due to the reproduction of these recordings to any other device, as the connected device will be formatted in a RAW-format and not a device, whether PC, Media Player or other TVs can then identify medium. If anyone has an idea please post it here as a comment.
- I have to this day 8Febr. 2014 found no way to delete the recordings. Since this PC these are also not to be seen, only every time remains to format the USB flash drive or HDD. Who please add a comment with an idea.
- Any control buttons on the device: if remote control is defective = no Bedineung of TV possible.
- PSU draws permanently 6 watts from the wall outlet, even if no TV is connected. Nowadays there are switching power supplies that require less than 0,5Watt.
- No direct button for image format conversion, not for image display (brightness / contrast / color).
And that's it then of disadvantages. total for later-described performance rather little. All other manufacturers have much more serious drawbacks like no Full HD panel, is only possible with remote switch (ie no auto-A with Voltage Switching).
Now the positives and a general description.
Optics: subtle plastic frame with a kind of glass (plastic, of course) about the surmounted the scharz frame around 2mm. Like me, looks very noble. The frame is characterized in high gloss, the screen itself is matte.
VESA mount is 75mm x 75mm and quite far mounted above this for info only.
As mentioned above, I use satellite reception. The image in HD is first class down to Griese liges image in dark scenes (which can my Philips 3y.o. with tubes behind better, and is already not the measure of all things in terms of black display). Scan I had to carry out themselves. There were no pre-programmed channel lists. Then the tolerable transmitter Order began. It is best to first delete all unnecessary stations. When sorting, you can always move only a transmitter, but fortunately you can enter the desired position directly with numeric keys after marking of about verscheibeneden transmitter and is then at the point where you wanted to go, possibly "down" again "high" or pressed "Enter" and the transmitter is there where he should go. Various favorite lists can also be create.
Duty cycle: about 10 seconds, then the picture is there and you can also now instantly adjust the transmitter.
Presentation Appearance: Lauststärkeveränderung be discreetly switched from the left and disappears. Channel information at changing channels or when pressing "Info" from the right. looks very elegant. With the "Tools" button, you can call up various functions, such as picture size, image brightness, only TV or radio channels, etc .. I think that overall very good, I've seen in any manufacturer so. Everything is elegant and again disappears. In addition, you can partially with the "left" - "right" Show additional functions. This in turn appears very elegant from the left and right. Super solved.
Power supply / Power consumption: Separate power supply, so that is supplied with the TV 12V DC. I wanted so, since I have the TV in the bath area, where I did not want to have 230V. The disadvantage I had described above, made 6 Watt permanently. But since I do the TV via 230V switch "ferneinschalte" that does not matter for me. Much more important to me that the TV then turn on by itself without you need the remote control. The search for a TV which can, proved difficult. Currently there were only Panasonic (not full HD), OK (brand of MM) and this Samsung. Power consumption itself (measured): Normal Mode TV = 35W, Radio Mode screen remains on = 24W, TV mode with completely turned down the brightness / contrast = 24W. Even if the screen turns off the radio mode (Tools) is the power consumption at 24W. it's OK.
Network: WLAN can be integrated very quickly and easily set up. Access to power is limited to about Samsung Apps Server, including YouTube, Facebook, Skype and many more. But it is no free internet access, everything is going according to my conjecture about Samsung (experience with other TVs and media players, where it is similar and all have some problem). Facebook worked without any problems in a simplified form of representation, as I said with genuine Internet can not be compared. YouTube videos can quickly search and select to open no problem. Positive special, one chooses a YouTube video to playing the from and after the end of which the earlier times selected videos are played back without assistance. Very pleasant effect when ma times will not redial.
Speaker: I mention this here not as a disadvantage. It is known in such a small flat TV that out there is no sound. I have installed 2 Canton-In-Ceiling Loudspeaker better quality in the walls. Only enough the performance of TV via headphone jack is not really out to fire at them. Volume control goes from 1 to 100. With the built-in speakers can be heard approximately normal volume at 15, I close the Cantons via headphone jack is nothing to hear at 15, you have to turn up at least to 50 to quietly listen to at 100, it is still far not too loud but more than good to hear. By the way, via headphone jack the existing se tone control is switched off. All this again just for info.
USB playback: via USB and 1TB hard drive he could play SD mpg, various HD video formats, Div-X, MP3. DVD Strukruren he does not recognize. One must select the Ts / .ifo, then runs the DVD structure, you can pre-tilt chapter and back, but not select DVD menu.
