My criteria were:
- Full HD
- Min. 100 Hertz
- DVB-C (HD) and DVB-S2
- Narrow design
- 42 inches
- DLNA
- Enough ports (HDMI, USB, CI +)
These criteria should be fulfilled as favorable as possible. The LG has these features: Full HD, 200 hertz, Triple HD tuner, 35mm depth, 4x HDMI, WiFi, DLNA, CI + slot, USB recording and all for 459 euros. Since no one else was able to keep television. Also, the television in the energy efficiency class A. 3D is I do not need, I think is unnecessary.
So I ordered the TV and connected. All very simple. First, it was proposed to install the latest update: If you do definitely, because software errors of the old software are thus mostly fixed. The television reflects a little, the best would be a dark room, but that's normal for televisions.
Although the picture is not bad, if the TV is supplied, but you can as yet rausholen lot. Above all, the excessively high lighting sucks. The power saving mode is too dark, the stay must be disabled. You can adjust the picture mode to "Expert" and make their own settings. In some forums settings have been proposed and I've tried a few test photos. I have chosen the following settings:
Beleutchung: 50
Contrast: 85
Brightness: 50
H Sharpness: 20
V Sharpness: 20
Color: 55
Expert settings
Dynamic contrast:. From
Super Resolution: From
Fabskala: Standard
Gamma: 2.2
White Balance
Color Temperature: Warm
Method: 2-point
Pattern outdoor
Points: deep
Red: -1
Green: -2
Blue: -4
Image Option:
Noise Reduction: Off
MPEG Noise Reduction: Off
True Cinema: A
TruMotion: Soft
With these settings, the picture is fantastic. Both the HD and the SD picture is just damn good. I have nothing to complain about in this picture. The TV's sound is also good, especially for such a small TV. With an investment of course sounds much better, logically.
The TV supports DLNA. In addition one installed on the laptop "Nero MediaHome 4" and releases the folder in which the media are. This goes very quickly and easily. The TV invites a few seconds and then plays the movie without jerking, without loading times and without loss of quality from. One can present in films in about 4 minute increments and rewind. The biggest advantage is that you do not need annoying cable more.
Wi-Fi is also included. Because many often ask: You do not need WLAN stick, adapters or anything. A browser is preinstalled and can be on the Internet and there are some apps that you can install. However, I am not closer busy because I do not need it. For that I have my laptop.
The integrated USB Recording I have not tried yet. One can thus take up the television program on an externally connected hard disk. However, the hard disk can not be reconnected to a laptop to transfer the media. You have to be formatted for and therefore comes to me out of the question. However, this is at all TVs so that support this feature.
The speed in the menu appears when you switch to and the teletext and disappear could be faster. However bothers me a little, though the teletext takes 2-3 seconds to appear, but then finding the pages is very fast. In addition, the menus are a little cluttered and on the remote control, there is felt 10 different keys to do the same thing in the end. Since must find his own key, he wants each press.
The position of the connections (HDMI, USB) I feel as unfavorable. Was bewschrieben As in some other reviews, these are pretty far out. You have to bend a little so you can not see the front of the cable.
Conclusion:
A better TV is not going to get for this money. I have it now for a few months and there is nothing really negative impression. Picture and sound are very good. There are all required connections available and the TV is equipped with almost all functions except 3D (WiFi, DLNA, USB Recording, HD Triple Tuner). As negative points I can name only the speed in menus and teletext and the positioning of the connections. Overall, a strong buy recommendation and 5 star.
--- Update 18.05. ---
I have the TV so for quite some time. However, this TV "200 +, WLAN, min. Hertz. Only the" is still the cheapest at 40 Toshiba 40TL938G "is currently to be had for 399. However, that has no satellite tuner and what you have for experiences you made with Toshiba, I know not.
