Customer Review

Positive
-------
The picture is top and very well adjusted. Also the dynamic image optimization factors are adjustable or can be switched off completely is a big plus - it sucks when the TV constantly readjusts visible brightness and / or contrast. Even the sound is really good for a flat screen. Not here - usually sounds very tinny in flat TVs. Big compliment to the manufacturer. So good sound I still have not heard of any flat-screen TV in this price range. Even top: The amount of supported video formats is plentiful and leaves little to be desired

Criticisms
------------
When operation is still plenty of room for improvement. Besides some Umständlichkeiten there while also annoying shortcomings. A few examples:
- The headphone volume is adjustable via a sub-sub-item in the Settings
- Neither in program management nor in the list view page scrolling is possible. With hundreds of channels because joy comes on ..
- When playing USB files (movies) there is no way directly to the next file weiterzuspringen ...
- The switching times are suboptimal and are at 3-5 sec per channel change, in which the device picture / sound each first time regulates / synchronized / wasauchimmertut. By fast zapping through multiple channels is not possible.
- After the 3rd-4th Switching to another program reboot the machine at times also completely new, which indicates a rather faulty firmware. Updates? So far none

Unfortunately also the DVBT tuner is at least at best mediocre. From here 46 with a good tuner properly receivable programs he was only 38. Even less well: The USB Recording works only on external HD, in a PC unreadable File system. The HD is therefore for PC so only times no longer directly usable. And what has been so taken, is only on the TV again playable anywhere else

Conclusion:
------
A really nice, thin device with a great screen and good sound, plenty of connectivity and low power feeding (despite standby). And unfortunately, significant deficiencies in terms of usability and best average DVBT tuner

UPDATE
-------
Meanwhile there was a firmware update, which has solved the most serious problems. The switching between the programs has become significantly shorter and more stable. Crashes / reboots gabs with us since then no more
