Philips Android Google TV - Review

I tried to post a review on Philips site about their 5,000 series Android TV that can be bought through Walmart, however Philips did not approve my review, it was too honest.

So I will write a review here.

The TV itself is well worth the price. The biggest negative is the fact that within the TV Apps they do not have the JW Broadcasting app. So even if you buy the Android TV you must also still use a Roku to watch and use some Apps, including Amazon Prime. The other negative feature is how their external drive system works. DO NOT copy any video, audio or photo files to a drive and then connect it to the TV. The TV must format the drive to it's file structure. Then once done the file size is limited. I have many MKV files that are over 3GB and that size is too big for the file structure of the drive that the Philips TV uses. So it is a very big negative.

However the greatest and most frustrating negative is the remote. The remote has a lag, you press a button and the TV does NOT respond for a second or 2, the lag is enough to make you believe that it did not work so you press again. The button layout is also very poorly designed. If you press the volume down it is close enough on the pressure pad that the option button is pressed and you end up in a different input mode or channel. At time pressing a button will cause a different press and something very unexpected happens. Now Philips is very well aware of this and has a replacement remote but they want the customer to PAY for it. They were very happy to send me one, even with proof of purchase, as long as I bought it. Granted they are fully aware of the faulty shipped with TV remote.

​So for the time until Philips works out the bugs and greediness of making the customer pay for their poor judgement I would suggest passing on this TV.
