It's here! - First Impressions and Thoughts

I got mine last week and my first impressions are quite good. Autofocus works good, picture is good, in a dim-lit room even with eco-mode. The user interface takes a little getting used to, but will work. Still a bit disppointed about Chromecast not really being chomecast but miracast, especially because of 4-corner-correction not working with an external HDMI-source. Also disappointing is that apps like KPN iTV and NPO Start (both Dutch mainstream TV apps) aren’t working because Google Play services isn’t available. It should be and I hope Philips can still change that in the future. If others can do it…

What I miss is an option to trigger focus (or manually focus in/out), which sometimes is just a little off but corrects satisfactory after picking up the PPM and tilting it forward (kind of an ugly solution). It would be nice if there was an RC-button-action for that.

Overall, quite happy.

Edit: Just read that alexh got KPN working (“by side loading Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework and Google Play Services.”), so I’ll try that tonight.
