Let me start with the positive characteristics of the Philips brings. After a very uncomplicated installation of the TV and a first channel search, the TV is ready for use quickly. The image is updated every few, uncomplicated settings menu to the individual tastes of the viewer and is convincing in both SD and HD at transmitters or input sources.
The Anschlüssmöglichkeiten are adequate for my needs, but if gaming consoles will be used etc, it comes with two HDMI connections quickly running out.
The design of the device is very classy and makes makes the piano finish a Hochweritgen impression, however, is rather plain and unexciting.
After having now seen all these positive features, you'd think it were a solid, well-equipped for its price TV, with which you can not do much wrong. This impression is deceptive, however, enormous!
When using the TV appear serious shortcomings that limit this TV much.
First, there is the reaction time on the TV inputs with the remote control to call. After starting the machine, this is completely frozen first for about 20-40 seconds and not respond to any inputs. After the device is then powered up, take the switchover to the corresponding keys on the remote control still between 3-7 seconds, which is very annoying in the long run.
If you use the TV for recording with an external hard drive before has, one is faced with the next big problem. Disk recognizes the TV only on your mood and shots work only in the operation, which is, according to Philips on a software problem, which has been known for about a year, Philips has still not been solved.
To use the TV as a SmartTV, I bought the wireless dongle from Philips, which, just like the TV, could be installed without any problems, but similar to USB hard drives constantly has Aussetzter. So must every month about 10 times the connection to the router to re-enter, which is very time consuming.
Now if I abwäge the negative aspects against postiven, these outweigh greatly and I would advise against any of this device, because the support from Philips is really an underground operation and has fewer problems with equipment etc. from other manufacturers such as Samsung and possibly even more gets for money.
