The image and sound are very good, especially the sound when there draws comparisons to other LED TVs. Image itself also achieved very good results when you have found the settings times and has the interaction between the individual options halfway savvy. The factory settings and individual presets, however, are not to be used, and they must also adapt.
Unfortunately, it was the but even with the benefits and good qualities.
Negative is actually everything that somehow relates to the software. I'm waiting times together shortly to discuss individually without any points.
- The TV sometimes goes on for no reason of their own.
- Mostly it is no reason of their own.
- Mostly it goes, if you do it, not completely, but remains in a pseudo-standby, in which he needed throughout 18W.
- The menu system is designed for a screen of this size very poorly resolved and above all very very slow.
- Sender can not be sorted or processed in the actual list. If you want that, then you have to create favorites. That sounds so far even good, but unfortunately that is not the way. The favorites are not used by "Internet-EPG", nor of "Now-Next", the direct recording programming by time entering or searching the EPG. These use only the unordered list of all stations!
- Channel EPG is only very rarely. Sometimes data for 7 days there, then a few hours later no.
- The TV hangs on very often and response any longer.
- The included subwoofer is locatable. So if you want the way I put the, under the bed (according to the manual and so provided), is to always be able to hear among themselves, because it appeals not only to bass, but also on deep voices.
- The connection to the subwoofer is often interrupted or the Sub simply provides a service for several minutes.
- The sound from the subwoofer is not synchronized with the sound of the TV speakers generally.
- USB recording only go to about 65%. Many fail or then may not play.
- USB recording of broadcasts that require Jugendschutzpin, do not go. It is only taken up a black screen.
- HBBTV makes the TV more unstable and result in crashes
- SmartTV very slowly, and often no longer usable.
- The remote control frequently loses connection to the TV or the other way round.
- Although the FB works by radio the TV responds also like a foreign IR remote control, usually with the consequence that he goes out.
- Switching stations will take at least 2 seconds, which is the fast condition. Usually also like 4-10 seconds, especially in encrypted HD channels.
- The TV has only 2 USB 2.0 ports, one of which is required even for the dongle of the subwoofer.
- For USB recording at least one hard drive with 250GB (formatted) is required
- The advertised "Perfect Natural Motion" has not this TV (Philips confirmed). The documentation and technical data are all wrong. The TV has only the previous version "Digital Natural Motion".
So, these were the only way the coarse problems or errors. I currently have about 60 tickets at Philips support and more than 500 posts on the Forum, it can be seen that there are significantly more problems. Unfortunately, Philips is probably located not particularly mind, to solve the problems. With each new software update, new problems have been added. The above points are therefore now up to date with the new software, even if they partially exist already since July. On the TV is good, but the whole defects not be fun. The main tasks at the device consist principally in "wait", "pull the plug" and "reconfigure".
I strongly advise everyone to look before buying the support forum of Philips and to read the premiums desired TVs!
