When the product arrived I was pleasantly surprised by both the commissioned Amazon forwarding, as well as the product itself. With me a delivery date has been agreed by telephone that I was called twice by the delivery person be advised to provide an accurate time. This has been followed and the carrier offered me even to bring the TV to the site: exemplary.
The TV looks real great. My expectations of product images were met or exceeded. He is, as expected, extremely flat, the thin edge is mainly composed of an inner part, which is painted black and a thinner outer part made of transparent Plexiglas. I give this combination a very high-quality impression. The scene itself is more matte than gloss, but not nearly as dull as in many other devices. The cross base is high-gloss black, which is for all people who, like me feel more uncomfortable than reflective chrome than quality, a long-awaited alternative.
After the start-up and initial slight difficulties with the satellite channel scan I was again pleasantly surprised:
The device needs from standby only about five seconds turn, be reproduced until the picture and sound. By comparison, Stiftung Warentest had a few months ago satellite receivers tested and hardly a tested device managed to start less than 15 seconds. Most receivers will need 20 to 30 seconds, which is also my personal experience with satellite receivers. Also with the switching shines the TV. He is stuffed with the best receivers I tested on the same. Image is as you would with a LED TV offers quite good: Beautiful color reproduction, no shocks, subjectively very good impression. Extrapolating from SD to full HD resolution makes the television in my opinion much better than most receivers. Weaknesses only at black level and by slightly clouding what little interferes with dark horror movies, but not for example in animated series, playing the Wii or when surfing the Internet. About an imperfect black level, however, one should not complain if you explicitly an LED and Plasma TVs not looking and buying.
The tone sounds to me good. But this I can not objectively assess because the not exactly my specialty.
USB recording and TimeShift function properly.
Nächter positive point is the power consumption.
I operations on the TV with automatic brightness adjustment (ambient light sensor). Many do not like this feature, I feel but as a practical and pleasant.
In bright sunny daylight the television moves up to 100% LED power and then requires about 60 watts (HD channels 62 watts). Tags the room at night but mostly just so bright that the television get along with about 50 watts, which I think is a 46 "TV for good. Without light or with just of ambient lighting needs of the television only 27.8 watts ( HD channels 30 watts). The LED lighting is running then but it is also the maximum power saving mode, acts in the dark but still bright enough. In standby the TV uses less than 1.0 watts, which my Conrad Energy Check no longer measure can.
On the subject SmartTV I will not go into in detail here. On TV Apps for as YouTube and Co. are installed. Additional apps can be downloaded from the Samsung store. In addition, the TV provides the ability to browse the Internet, which I would prefer to take a computer with a mouse and keyboard for the operation yet. If everything has that with me, however properly. The supplied with the TV wireless stick I have not vernwendet and instead the TV is connected by cable to the LAN.
Export functions such as USB video playback, use the Android smartphone or channel list to USB, edit on your PC and import them back via USB worked on the first try without problems.
The remote control is intuitive. The reception of their signals could be even better, but it is okay.
Tell the TV I would to anyone who does not need a 3D and a power-saving device is looking to make it mainly to use for SD / HD satellite reception with recording capability.
