Samsung UE55ES6890 in the test

The media player plays pretty much everything, which it is imported via network or USB data preservation. Only with Matroska containers (MKV) is he more selectable: Thus he did not give a test file with HD content. Also, spooling in movies that are rendered by the DLNA server is not possible in any file format. Smartphone fans will appreciate Wi-Fi Direct. They can also log in directly to the TV to stream media.


Samsung UE55ES6890: Operation


In the service there were only small criticisms. So the developers on the otherwise clear remote control no button for format changeover planned. Some video clips, but also TV broadcasts, need to be brought into shape through the on-screen menu. Otherwise, the remote control with the keyboard is getting used to. Because of the hardly palpable pushers and the symmetrical housing, you can mix up front and back.

Samsung UE55ES6890: Sound and Image Quality


It was obvious to the designers that the "Family Story" was very important: they even gave it their own button. The user can create a kind of chronicle in which pictures and news of a closed user group such as their own family can be stored


The USB recording function of the Korean should be particularly relevant to practice. As the only TV with single tuner, the Samsung allows a program change during ongoing recording. The only requirement is that the other transmitter must be in the same transponder. For example, if you record the program from ProSieben, you can still switch to SAT.1, kabel eins or N24.


Thanks to dual-core technology, the user can also call the media player while the recording is running or surf the Internet. The latter is a real joy because of its excellent mouse support.


The sound of the UE55ES6890 was less convincing. The down-radiating speakers sounded airy, but too harmless.


The performance was much more impressive. In the top white, the Samsung delivered maximum values, but with dark motifs he did not come quite so far down. Bright spots in the corners should also frighten high-end freaks. The movement optimization MotionPlus can be adjusted relatively fine. The TV is a good compromise between jerky playback and artifact formation. This not only improves the 2D image.


Four TV sets with 46 to 60 inches in test


The two included battery powered 3D glasses are extremely filigree. This allows them to sit back and forth over the main glasses. The downside: Light from the side disturbs the 3D enjoyment a bit. Otherwise the performance in the 3D area was considerable. The TV showed few conversations. Due to the clean contours, the image looked very harmonious, even if it tends to flicker in bright subjects.
