The structure of the TV is easy to perform. The accompanying manual is fortunately quite extensive, helpful and fortunately with A4 also so big that it can be read without the aid of a magnifying glass.
Connections with 4 * HDMI, 2 * USB, CI +, among others for HD television reception, Triple tuner (DVBT, DVBC, DVBS2), headphone jack, Side AV, VGA, SPDIF Optical Toslink, Subwoofer Output, Audio IN, component input, 2 * SCART and LAN are available and should cover every application well. Still belongs to the scope of supply a USB WLAN Stick to connect to the Internet via WiFi can.
The setup of the TV at start-up runs easily and menu-driven via the remote control. A little complicated, I found the channel search. But this is a point which should now not occur so frequently and is therefore negligible.
Image
MM provides to the TV at preset picture modes very unreal colors represent (bright red and too much blue). With the wide range of settings for image quick action can be undertaken.
The image reproduction is good at a native resolution of 1920 * 1080 Full HD, but not very good. The TV tends during operation via the integrated DVBS2 and only SD picture to a really ugly picture. The added switchable noise reduction does not help here. The HD display is then however again good. The integrated DVBS2 seems to be a somewhat stripped-down version, because when connecting a separate satellite receiver via HDMI, a noticeably better picture exists. When operating with a BluRay player the picture just in HD range is as I would expect from a device of this class expect favorable good to very good shortly before. When Movie Sense is set to High in the settings, the display of moving images with 24p is horizontally and vertically buttery soft and clean. The create usually found on more expensive systems.
Audio
The integrated speakers are not sufficient. Lack resonance mass is practically no bass, and there is insufficient medium tone range. But make a deduction in the evaluation. Since the connection of smaller active speakers is offered to the headphone jack. Then my ears were happy again. Lack presence of a compatible subwoofer I could not test the existing connection to. UU also creates the connection of a separate subwoofer even Remedy.
Network Connection
The connection to the network is wired handled quickly. Plugging in and ready. A connection to an existing Wi-Fi is realized by means of a USB stick supplied. The facility expires menu-driven. However, there is no automated facility option via WPS services. All necessary parameters must be entered manually via the software keyboard.
Options / Settings
The setting options are as expected extensive and can not possibly be listed exhaustively in a short review.
Internet offer / Smart TV
The offer in Medion media portal is amazingly large and some services available that I sorely miss from other manufacturers. There are, for example, Apps for ARD and ZDF media library integrated !!
Remote
The remote control is functional and the keys have a noticeable pressure point. This is a matter of taste. She is a little big, but the keys are labeled pleasing large. Since I can the numbers sometimes without glasses visible.
What is good (+), which is not (-) and what is questionable (?)
(+) Easy installation
(+) Good network functionality
(+) With many connection possibilities
(+) Good image at 720p and 1080p material
(+) And many well-structured settings
(+) More comprehensive Smart TV options
(+) Triple Tuner (DVBS2 output quality but with a question mark)
(+) DLNA capable
(+) ARD and ZDF media library access
(-) Sound output is insufficient
(?) The picture is ugly with SD material
Summary
One point will be deducted in the assessment by the sound. The poorer image output of SD material does not flow in the evaluation as a negative point with a, as SD mM is to a dying class. Considering price performance then result still good four star.
