Attention: no LAN connection, the only device in this price range without LAN or network connection.
If you want to hang the device on the wall like a picture frame, you have to keep in mind that the separate black Connect Box (20x10cm) with the Hdmi connections only has an approx. 1.5 meter long grey cable for the connection to the TV. One must mount the box with all wired connections and the power adapter so mandatory at a distance of 1.5 meters from the screen, bz hide.
Video viewing via streaming over Wlan is almost not possible, because the Wlan module built into the device despite strong signal no smooth playback possible. Who thinks no problem, I connect the device via LAN cable has thought wrong. Neither the TV set nor the Connect Box of the 32' TV have a network connection and this is probably the most expensive device in this size. So if you want to stream smooth videos and movies, you also need a TV or Apple TV box with a network connection and must then connect it via HDMI to the Connect Box. The result is that you need a lot of space for cables and accessories despite the small and flat TV, not to mention the additional costs.
So when you buy a multimedia device, make sure it has a network connection (LAN). Obviously this is not a standard.
This TV is unfortunately not worth the money, fingers off this TV, what good is the slim design if the software does not work adequately, then it is really just a shame this frame.Pro
- Slim design
Contra
- no LAN or network connection neither at the TV nor at the Connect Box
- bad Wlan module (video playback with the network stream despite good signal only conditionally possible)
- Cable to the Connect Box much too short only about 1.5 meters
Quality does not match the price
Unfortunately, Digitec claimed in the web store that the device has a Vesa 200x200 wall mount option. This is not the case. Those who do not want to mount the device with the "no gap wall mount" should leave it alone.
Pro
- Good picture
- Very good sound for a slim TV of this size
- More or less the only TV with 32 inches and halfway up to date technology
Contra
- Qualitatively inferior feet
- No Vesa mount
- Inferior quality remote control
- Grey instead of "invisible" white cable to the One Connect box
- TV cable must be additionally mounted on the TV instead of the box - no One Connect
- Very long switching times between channels for a TV in this price range
Lousy software, slow
Can't read USB sticks (should but), doesn't connect to Samsung Smart Things (should but), doesn't connect to Samsung phone (should but), is super slow. Remote control buttons occupied with commercial apps.
I knew, but still bad: thick cable to the box, no motion sensor.
For Samsung a device to be ashamed of.Motion sensors do not exist
The advertised motion sensors do not exist for the 32" model. After several phone calls with the Samsung CallCenter - which btw offers a very poor service - I have now learned that the 32" model does not have motion sensors. Depending on the energy-saving options, the screen turns off after a certain amount of time, but doesn't turn on again when you enter the room. For the Art Mode really troublesome. In addition, the connection cable is not nicely transparent, as in the more expensive models, but thick and gray. On the white wall rather unattractive. The art itself comes into its own, but either only on demand or always, which is very energy inefficient.
Since the motion sensor is explicitly advertised, the purchase is a bitter disappointment.Pro
- Pictures are displayed nicely
Contra
- No motion sensor
- Gray connection cable
- Samsung support
The TV the frame 32 inch does not come with an "invisible" cable but gray and very short.
Hardware good, software catastrophic
AirPlay and Apple TV+ are now available with the latest software version. However, AirPlay does not work most of the time. The Teleboy app cannot be started most of the time either.
The great hardware is rendered practically unusable by the incredibly bad Samsung firmware. I've never had a technical device with such poorly functioning software!!!
AppleTV+ and Netflix work fine.
I operate the TV exclusively via WLAN, no digital TV signal availablePro
- Picture quality
- Art Mode
- NoGap Wall Mount
- Sound quality ok for the size of the device
Contra
- Software crashes constantly, so that a restart or even disconnect from the power is necessary
- Often can't be turned on without briefly disconnecting from power
- AirPlay does not work most of the time
- Teleboy app can't even be started most of the time
