After ordering, I have only times a few hours spent to test everything the TV can do. However, I was quite shocked how sluggish the television reigned despite the dual-core processor. Something to program or select the program list was long and has cost some nerves. I've been thinking for some time whether I should return the TV.
However, I came across a solution. The following link leads to the site of 47PFL6007K / 12 and this includes "Software and Drivers" download "Firmware Upgrade Software".
[...]
The file in the download you have to move to an empty drive, and then simply plug in the switched-on TV. The television then does everything by itself, and the software is updated. If the update finished, you have to remove the stick and take the TV for about one minute completely from the mains. Then turn it back on. It works wonders. The TV is now much faster and respond quickly and accurately to the remote control signals. The crashes, problems with Skype, the everlasting power-and some other things have also been fixed.
Now makes watching TV, zipping, surf and browse through the Smart TV is much more enjoyable.
Other:
POSITIVE:
+ Top image in TV and above all HDMI sources such as a PS3. Games like GTA IV or Gran Turismo 5 look incredibly good. The same applies to Blu-Ray's
+ Best appearance, best haptic
+ Connections (4xHDMI, 1xYPbPr, 1xScart, 3xUSB and WiFi)
Other connections: Antenna (type F), Common Interface Plus (CI +), Ethernet LAN RJ-45, Digital audio output (optical), PC VGA input and L / R audio input, headphone output, service connection
+ Equipment has everything you need and even a bit more. In addition, 4 3D glasses are included.
+ USB Recording works great and is easy to turn, even programming for recording movies or series if you do not at home, works without problems. After programming for receiving a transmitter at such and such time, watching the TV by itself from standby and records the program, it's over, the recording stops and the TV switches back to standby.
+ Fair price for a newly published TV of this size and with this equipment
+ Ambilight2 which is very good for the eyes when it is dark and the image appear larger
+ Pretty good and pleasant 3D glasses for an extended 3D television evenings
+ Competent and free Philips Service
NEUTRAL:
o Dual gaming for games. The idea is great, but acts in many games the image easily bruised or torn. In addition, the games should have a Spilscreen mode, which uses each exactly 50% of the image on the TV. This is, for example, in Call of Duty MW3 or Resident Evil 5 the case and therefore, the Dual Gaming unwatchable because you can not really gamble not
o entering text or search terms by remote control is cumbersome and takes forever for a few words. In the 9000 series is a full-size keyboard on the back of the handset and is missing here, unfortunately. Alternatively, you can connect a USB wireless mouse and keyboard that solves the problem but something extra to buy the TV is not really useful.
NEGATIVE:
- No Abilight3, I wonder why Philips can not simply even obstruct in all series with Ambilight above a LED strip
- It's still not as mature as in other models / producers, however, Philips is working on updates that will continuously improve the system
I can not give any information about the sound quality of the TV, as I always watch TV with a 5.1 surround sound system, or movies look zocke. But I think with so flat equipment, the sound never really be very good, because the speaker can not have large cavities
CONCLUSION:
The 47PFL6007K / 12 is a really great television. The most important things like image, design and equipment are very good. I also think that with further software upgrades of the hardware of the TV's still a lot is rauszuholen and you can do the 47PFL6007K / 12 at a very, very good TV.
