Regarded as Fermsehgerät, I'm thrilled. Connect Unpack, power and antenna, start scanning, the manual should not look at only one. The only stumbling block was that the device is set to receive cable factory - but we will use satellite. You just need to find the function to change. Software updates, if necessary, geschiehen automatically via satellite. The search is finished in five minutes. Sort transmitter (if desired) takes a bit - there are indeed hundreds to choose from ... But in principle is also easy. Follow the instructions on the screen.
The Samsung Blu-ray players have ordered (the simplest unit in the offer) was connected in what felt like 30 seconds and ready and both devices can be operated with the same remote control. That's the advantage if both come from the same manufacturer.
For viewing experience: Before the emergence of the flat panel displays we have seen this screen size than normal. As a second TV, housed in a smaller room, the subjective viewing experience of 2-3 meters is very good, in HD anyway. Even with Blue-Ray. From the factory, the colors were too loud for me, but a change was easy. Of course, a big screen with some programs would be preferable - but this device costs more than a third and is hardly intended for the large living room. Also the sound is surprisingly good; but I had smaller active speakers at hand that I have connected. Thus, the sound is really more than sufficient. That all broadcasts are doing, I think fundamentally positive: So you have everything in one device.
About terrestrial reception I have not taken any tests. Out of curiosity, I will try later with an indoor antenna.
So forget the name 'Monitor': Allows you buy a TV, preferably as a second unit, but for students etc. wirlich a good solution. And much cheaper than flat-panel televisions, which are only slightly larger. And they have often not integrated satellite receiver. We have a bargain on Warehouse Deals done: Blue-Ray and FS, both from Samsung, for little more than 200 euros. We are thrilled.
