Samsung Smart TV UE40D6500: not so smart
Purchased the Samsung Smart TV, specifically the Samsung UE40D6500 and decided to just write about it. This is not a TV review, comment a little faster, and alerts the acquisition of this rather popular TV model. Quite a detailed description of some higher-end model offers passerby a blog , so I'm very, let. In short, this TV does not seem to have such an intelligent and, although ubiquitous, and proudly put the word smart, though, this is not the highest-end TVs. I wonder whether the problem persists, and store in the classroom? Menu settings are simplified to the maximum, so the turnover with some settings do not expect
I would like to describe some inconvenience, although I am not sure if they do not recur, and TVs from other companies. I think one of the problems that Samsung is often blunt copying Apple's ideology - do things as simple, though often just ease into stupidity. For example. to sort the channels, as mentioned by passer-by , it will not be able to perform a normal menu (probably Samsung scared a couple of additional settings and wanted to simplify everything). This will have to go to the Smart TV section, where to find a channel to make changes there. While going through the Channel Search menu. Where is the logic?
Another very disappointing part of the problem - this is an image format auto-detection absence. Currently, most channels are shown in different formats, some of 16:9, 4:3 others, while others are still different. That is, if you see one channel with black stripes, the other will display a full screen, and still others with narrow black bands. If the full width of the channels, other channels will have outgrown the screen. The most unfortunate and surprising combination that quite other available Samsung TV, and a low-end TVs and other high though, but quite old, these problems do not have all the channels to show the original format in order to automatically extend.
Short memory. Memory TV or a really short, or television is not quite smart - do not remember the channel settings, if it finds the channel language, switch to another channel and come back - language channel again left earlier. In fact, do not remember any provisions for each channel, including the format. Well, and will remember where you last watched a movie, not to mention some memories where you left off watching a movie.
For these, again, some sort of channels suffering, and then surprising that older TVs do not have this problem. In the past, in order to sort the channels, saw what the channel is now older analog channels, you see only the S1, S3, etc., so that will have to look at what the S1, again go to the Smart TV Channels section, find the channel, push again to watch the channel behind the S3 and again almost a fairy tale without end. The channel sorting not perfect, you can not ground the analog channels with digital is the way you want - go in the numerical, but after that all analog.
Actually the fact that the TV does not remember anything, the TV is quite a thing beech image. Here mention the most surprising gaps, because I can not understand why many older models do not have these problems? Not name the problems with 3D, slow browser, problemėlių with the player - could be that other companies have their models even more.
How to deal with these problems? If you have already purchased the TV, I do not know how to solve, can be corrected with firmware updates from? If the TV is just smarter and want to buy, pasidairykte the upper class or other business models.

Yeah, the same primitive functions realized really unreasonable. But everything is so smart that the TV and turning to Linux. And developers įsišėlo and got it, what turned out to
As an alternative, I propose to start an interest in alternative firmware - seems there is already fully working firmware Cottage industry. At least applets to facilitate life really is.

I also have 32d6100 Samsung TV. Same experience, automatic format selection is the same as "disabling", well and channel assembly, this is why I will not I buy more of this TV. Next time you search the TV already knows what to look out for. Need to look, I guess that the product can be returned if the function does not work. As for the alternative firmware everything is OK, as long as things work, but if you fail, and rules not find the original firmware will have to pay for the repairs yourself. (I was also with HTC WM, a broken button, at the essence of the original firmware).

Hello ... have enrolled, but that just added more widgets to the Smart Menu ... And how to solve existing problems, well, at least one of the procedures described? Can I pay only resume partially to do with specific DLNA server is operating normally, only one - Mezzmo
In fact, commented on a couple of troll generally does not publish such comments, even: it all works, and neither did the word as to support in

Strife, have never heard that Samsung would not provide warranty service for non-original firmware. At least the phone can record whatever you heart is coveted and will retrieve just the official Samsung firmware.

As for the channel susideliojimo it as a headache, but a well-used SamsChannelEdit program - with the competent susidelioji as needed and turns back to TV. Much faster than that in the same kelinetis tv, talk about what ner kelinejima satellite channel, which several thousand motorozitas a bowl or cauldron.
Due to format it and display the neistempia gras, but here they will already broadcasting - advertising displays full-screen and the film is incomplete.
Works With The film tells the watching of this suspension, the place, just run shoot video requires the display of the last viewed location.
With AllShare a LAN is just read the two videos, one 3d movie and my own encoded photos from the camera. Shows even Bluray, not straight need to download the entire disc, but only one file that takes up most space, usually 0004.m2ts
Another drawback to yrasineja Only XFS file system encoding Eyed unclear which understands only the tv on the pc does not open

Hi, so, looking on as the last place I found ... the format is also recording the Del, this is especially so as not to disrupt the broadcasters the right. The inclusion to watch, to break / rootinti with samygo and so on.
