   I purchased this TV for the kitchen after reading the very positive reviews thus far. However, I am not quite as bullish as other reviewers.

   The picture quality in HD is brilliant, however, the quality of the non-HD channels is not as good as my lounge TV (Samsung UE32EH5000 32-inch). There are several preset picture options, none of which really seem to really hit the spot for me.

   The sound is fine – nothing brilliant. For bedroom use, you wouldn’t want more but for a lounge TV, I think a pair of speakers would enhance overall viewing pleasure. Again there are several preset sound options to play around with.

   The ‘Smart’ options are good. BBCi player in HD is excellent – just like watching the programme ‘live’. The other free catchup apps (ITVplayer, 4oD, etc.) aren’t quite as good but I think this is down to the quality of the app rather than a fault of the TV.

   Remote control is good. Good feel to button pushes and TV responds quickly.
   (Personally, I’m not very fond of the rounded back design of remote controls nowadays. Sometime I just want to press one button – if the remote had a flat back you could do this without having to pick up it up from the coffee table. Lazy sod aren’t I?)

   All in all – a good TV – excellent value for money.

   This is a stunningly good TV for the price.
   I had a discount brand 19″ TV prior to this and the reception was was alway pixilated.
   The reception on this is perfect and I get more channels. The TV is a good size with slim bezel and is light weight. The sound is crisp and picture has numerous settings to suit most needs. The colours are vibrant but but the black can be slightly dull. Don’t get me wrong it is barely noticeable and for the price of the TV the picture/colour is brilliant.
   I bought this model as it specifically as it has both an amazon prime and netflix app. They work seamlessly over the built in wireless, so much so i have not tested the ethernet option.
   There is also a built in recording function which requires a USB flash drive to be conected via usb. This works well for one off recordings, but does not have the option of a series link.
   This is a great time TV which I can’t recommend enough

   I spotted this in a well known department store that almost rhymes with gate prose at the same price, but, the only one left was on display. Nevertheless I let the guy show me all the features and I was duly impressed.

   I only wanted a small smart TV to replace the 19″ one I in my office and this was just the job. More features than I really need but I will learn to use them all.

   It is feature rich but one niggling problem is that it only has 2 hdmi and no PC connection. The 19″ had 3 hdmi and a VGA port too. Not a problem though, I bought an HDMI switch and have 4 HDMI sources plugged in, including my fileserver PC. The PC works very well on this.

   The applications available on this beast have made my Fire TV stick largely redundant and my EE TV box other than for the EE features.
   I have yet to tried the time delay and recording functions as the SSD disk I ordered was eaten by the postal service but I am assuming it is okay.

   I did watch a football match to try the football button and my daughter, with her perfect colour vision, said it was good. Personally I thought the football was just as boring, let’s hope it works for rugby.

   Later that same year………………………

   Well I have had time to play with this and it just gets better. Behind the public face of the Smart Hub is apps city.

   Just about everything you need is here from BBC iPlayer to the BFI Player. It’s here that Skype, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter lurk. There is a lot of choice here including a few games. There is a multi-media page too that let’s you access BBC Radio Soctland MW weirdly along with some others.

   It will only take a special Samsung TV camera, that doesn’t bother me.

   Keyboard on the way, if it works I will be back.
   …………………………………………………………….

   Later that same month!!!! I bought a little keyboard to go with this and it is superb. It almost makes a separate computer redundant.
   The keyboard is a ESYNiC KB04 2.4G Mini Wireless KODI XBMC Keyboard about the same size as a game controller.

   Just set this up for my daughters 8th Birthday – Looks fantastic and very good quality. The picture is great and the TV has some very useful settings to allow for viewing at tighter angles, and i am very surprised by the quality of sound from this little unit. Setup was a doddle for me, though I did also need to run the firmware update mentioned in an earlier post. However it took me about three minutes given that I connected to my wifi router as an earlier part of the automated setup process. As a smart TV it functions well, and gives direct access to our movie store on our networked storage, and there is a whole host of games and media available via online sources. Not tried netflix yet, but iplayer and the likes work very well. On the whole absolutely made up by this unit and will be populating other areas of the house with similar.

   This is a very good small TV, and excellent value for money. I am happy to recommend it. I bought it as a second TV to mount on the kitchen wall and it is perfect for this, very light and thin with a stylish white surround.
   The smart features are excellent. Youtube, BBC iPlayer, and Amazon Prime streaming all work perfectly.
   It connected wirelessly first time to my BT Home Hub 4 with no problem at all, which is more than you can say for other devices.
   I can’t fault this as a second TV. The picture is good, especially in HD, although there is rather too much colour variation when you look at the screen from higher or lower. The sound is very good for such a thin device.
   I will definitely consider Samsung when I come to upgrade my main TV, even though I have always gone for Panasonic up til now.

   Bei dem Produkt handelt es sich Ware für den englischen Markt. Leider wird vom Anbieter nicht darauf hingewiesen, man kann es nur anhand der englischen Beschreibung bzw. der Produktbezeichnung ahnen. Das Gerät lässt sich aber im Menü auf die deutsche Sprache umstellen, auch wurde die Karte vom CI+ Slot ohne Probleme erkannt. Es ist also gut wenn man des Englischen mächtig ist. Ansonsten ist der TV dann ohne Probleme einrichten. Das Bild ist sehr gut. Es wurden auch alle Programme erkannt. Ein gleiches Gerät von Samsung gibt es leider scheinbar auf dem deutschen Markt nicht mehr, obwohl das Gerät unter anderer Produktbezeichnung auf der Internetseite zu finden ist.
