Manual of product LIFE P12181 (MD 21276)
Editorial note
The Medion LIFE P12181 (MD 21276) is a television that offers a pleasant visual experience thanks to its 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, ensuring satisfactory HD image quality for everyday use. The built-in speakers provide audio immersion without the need for additional equipment, and compatibility with various disc formats, including CD and DVD, allows for flexible playback of multimedia content. Moreover, its annual energy consumption of only 21 kWh demonstrates appreciable energy efficiency, thus helping to reduce costs on the electricity bill. However, a few points deserve to be highlighted. The resolution may seem insufficient for users seeking superior image quality, especially for high-definition content. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to streaming services and online applications, which can be a drawback for those wishing to fully enjoy modern multimedia. Additionally, with only one HDMI port, users may need to purchase a switch to connect multiple devices simultaneously. The brightness of 200 cd/m² may also pose a problem in very bright environments, making the display less visible. Overall, the Medion LIFE P12181 (MD 21276) features a modern and sleek design, with a VESA standard facilitating wall installation. However, despite its advantages, the lack of HDMI ports and the limited power of the speakers (6 W) may detract from the overall perceived value of this product. Users should therefore assess their feature needs before making a choice.Score details
