Recommended viewing distance [at least]


In order to bring multimedia data to the screen, the Samsung brings a LAN and two USB sockets. One of them can dock the WIS09ABGN WLAN stick (for 90 euros). After all, he has wireless access to the network. This is useful, as the technicians have completely redesigned the online package "Internet @ TV" (see paragraph "Fast and Furious")


Home-crosslinking has also been improved. The compulsory access to the DLNA server remains: As a "digital media player" the Samsung plays next to the LG most video formats, both via USB and via network. With the "Allshare" feature, Samsung is also becoming a "Digital Media Renderer."

In the Praxistest worked together with the free "DMC Twonky Beam" great. The program is docked to the browser window and can send all the media found on the current website directly to the TV.


As a DLNA server, the Samsung can use the "PC Share Manager", which is included in the delivery. It is installed on the PC and controls the media management of the data stored on the hard drive.


The user himself can also determine the release. This is how he regulates who can access films, photos and music on the net. If the user does not like this version, he can alternatively install the Windows Media Player 11 or the Shareware "Twonky Media".


Internet @ TV -Fast and Furious


The operation is exemplary. The colorful menu guides the viewer through the depths of the tuner setting. The management of the favorites makes it easier to handle the program list, which has several hundred stations. The illuminated remote control is clearly designed and is well-positioned.


Less serenity, the Samsung the tone test, since it sounded right "topfig". Although he was able to compete with a little bass, he played harmless film music.


In the SD regions, the Samsung cut in the picture somewhat worse. Older repetitions, for example, almost seemed to be filmed by a veil. Recent transmissions of better quality have only been negatively impacted by crunchy colors. After all, its good contrast could reproduce even dark areas of detail.


With HD signals from the Blu-ray changed the sudden. It was true that there were also wobbly structures here and there, but only if the broadcast was strong.


However, it was very difficult to minimize the motion artifacts. Under the "100Hz MotionPlus" option, the user has the option of using the "Off", "Clear", "Standard", "Smoothing" and "Custom" settings to play all sorts of variants: from jerky camera shots to pixel clouds Moving motifs. Under the "Custom" selection, a "acceptable" compromise could be found when setting "Judder Mitigation" and "Blurring."


Samsung has completely rebuilt "Internet @ TV" in the second generation and improved in almost all disciplines. Above all the waiting times were shortened rapidly. Already after three to five seconds, the viewer can now access 17 applets.
