First of all, I would like to thank Zhang Aunt for her love. At 7:30 that morning, I received Aunt Zhang’s warm reminder of a text message. It was like she was dreaming all day long. I never thought that people who even bought lottery tickets had only used 10 dollars. It is so honored and fortunate. Now I think I'm scared and I worry that my luck in my life will be spent. After setting the TV on the 6th floor, I began to wonder how to write this review. It is possible that this article will not involve too many mysterious things. I personally think that television should be the function of television. Other functions are Embellishments, 4K, Quantum Dots and other hot words should all be used to better visually enhance the senses. However, some aspects of the overall use still make me feel that the current products are very hard to do. If there are any unsuitable terms below, please forgive me because this TV is my first LED TV and also the first 4K high resolution TV. The current TV is an old 720P plasma species. , It may be a big surprise to see new things. Finally, we affirmed that the screen shots in the following paragraphs are all RAW direct output to jpg format, except that the cropping has not been done with such modifications as color matching. The camera used in the screen capture is a DC that is not a professional SLR. If it feels bad, please bear in mind. I try to focus on each picture manually.
Do not talk nonsense, first open the box.
Exterior
Very solid wooden frame, the carton was almost intact, it made me unexpected.
Aunt Zhang’s label on the carton sealing tape brought me back to reality. Before seeing anything in kind, my family unanimously decided that I was cheated. Of course, in my family’s notion there was never a pie in the sky. , I did not expect this time I was awkwardly aunt Zhang Aunt.
After the demolition of the wooden frame is not so sensible, you can see the TV's keyword 4K Radiant, Ambilight, SmartTV, and Color IQ from the shell. A 55-inch QDTV with an energy efficiency rating of three. These nouns have never touched me before. My home TV was a 50-inch Panasonic plasma TV that I bought in 2008 to watch the Olympic Games. At that time, even U disk local play did not support it, not to mention the smart TV system that is full of people now. I hope that everyone can understand this very backward mentality to accept these new things. As for these fresh concepts, I will try to tell everyone in the way I understand that they may not be professional, but I hope to be able to help everyone.
The remote control is placed on the top center and on both sides is a TV stand.
The TV base is very special, very simple, not the kind of old-fashioned, heavy appearance.
Each kind of foot has a kind of non-slip mat, which is exquisite, but it still can't help but worry that the center of gravity of such a precious TV is unstable and falls off. However, the current design concept is not minimalist, and it is still visually very good.
There are no other accessories, a power cord, an installation manual and warranty card, as well as a remote control battery and an antenna isolator, it is more real, there are no extra accessories, I really hope that there is also a bunch of HDMI cable, A luxury U disk, and 4K promotional videos. Unfortunately, all this proved to be more of my own thought.
The remote control is very long, but the keys are quite comfortable, not very hard. Almost all functions on the TV can be found on the remote control. I like this design very conveniently and practically. However, the consequence is that it is too long and the filming is not complete. It is taken in two parts. The upper part is the TV function setting button, which is very detailed. There are arrow keys in the middle to select the operation.
The grip of the remote control is a round feeling, if the back can get personal ergonomics is good, the lower part is the number keys, wavy keys, a bit narrow, but in general the key feel is more suitable for me, The function is also very rich, easy to open some functions with a key.
Take out the whole screen of the TV screen carefully and start to install the base. There is an identifier on the base and the screen connection. It is very convenient, as long as it corresponds to the upper letter and the mounting hole.
After installing the first feeling is that the screen is very wide and thin, I am afraid that accidentally was broken by me, please forgive me. I'm used to my TV with a thickness of 60mm, and this is only 16mm! ! ! To me, the impact is too great, or I like thick and solid things. It seems that I am really old fashioned. Slim design is now popular, visual effects are really great, but I still can not accept it, first on a photo of the installed pressure stunned, but also worried that a gust of wind accidentally blow it down.
The feeling of a large piece of glass is very delicate and simple. It is estimated that the number of household appliances in the home keeps up with the trend and is very modern. Take a close-up of the PHILIPS standard. After the power on, the logo will be on. When you set up and operate the TV, it will flash, prompting you that the TV is running. A transparent piece of prominent object is estimated to express a crystal clear feeling and is very much like this kind of treatment.
The back is not so tall, the back is very simple, the left is the product nameplate, the right is a variety of data interfaces. The nameplate also indicates that the origin and manufacturer are TPV products and the product model number is 55PUF6850/T3.
There is a row of glowing rectangular lights on the upper, left and right sides of the back to achieve one of the main features of the Philips TV. The principle of lighting is also not clear to me. It is the two white slivers in the picture below, which surrounds the TV.
The effect after lighting is very dazzling. Just as my TV curtain wall is inlaid with several pieces of glass, the effect is more prominent after the Ambilight is turned on.
The next section has special screen images for Ambilight, and I hope everyone will enjoy this unique feature.
A row of cooling holes, quite regular, should not have to worry about the problem of heat, after all, LED TV features are not energy saving, late use and did not feel the obvious heat problem, maybe this row of cooling also part-time as a speaker function , but I'm just guessing it.
In the middle is a round horn, quite unexpected, may be heavy bass, right? The specific sound effects are different. The next section will introduce you to them, but I am a wooden ear. If you do not help everyone, please include it.
The interfaces on the right side are coaxial interfaces, 3 USB ports, 1 SD card and 2 HDMI interfaces. The bottom USB port is 3.0 and the other 2 are 2.0. SD card slot, support SDHC specification, no SDXC card on hand, no verification. As for the HDMI port 1.4 standard specifications, it is estimated that this will be a lot of people Tucao, why not HDMI is the standard specification of 2.0? After all, I think various forums have said that the bandwidth of 2.0 support is higher. I don't know this, but after reading a circle, I found out that most of the discussion was about HDMI on 4K monitors. The more we see it, the more confused it is. In any case, the new standard specifications supported by the new one are better. Supporting 2.0 is certainly correct. It seems that many brands have started to support it. But this is 1.4 I also do not have a good Tucao, to feed my old laptop HDMI interface can play well. Later, I discovered that I don't actually need an HDMI external notebook to play video and audio, because this TV has already supported most of the video formats, including mp4 and mkv, which can be accessed via a USB stick or an on-net NAS server. The need for an external laptop was very practical and very convenient. This is one of my favorite places.
There is also a row of interfaces on the right side, including the system upgrade interface, network port, VGA, component input and audio input, antenna port, and audio and video output port. Can be used, very practical, but compared to my Panasonic TV, it is a bit too simple, the old TV has several rows of component input and audio input, HDMI also has four. There is still need for Tucao is the analog signal interface layout is a bit too partial, because my home TV set-top box is still the old component input, wire is relatively short, resulting in not very good placement, if the interface is in the middle position just fine.
The specific wiring layout is shown below
Because the front of the TV is extremely simple, nothing is available. The only button of the TV is on the left side of the back of the fuselage. This button contains all the functions that can be operated. It can be used to move up, down, left, right, or both. At the same time, the remote control is too powerful. It is estimated that it will not be used in the future. Button up.
Let's talk about the border, but the border thing is really not aware of the description. I personally feel very thin, very thin, and no one can be picky. But I see other evaluations still have a lot of people care about in the end is how much the number, I am not exactly the amount of the finest place is 12mm, but the shape of the frame is not a rigid cuboid, is the upper layer of a narrow bottom wide structure. But I really don't have to worry about the width of a few millimeters. I'm too intimidated to feel insecure. The following figure shows the width of the side, which was not taken. It feels like the ruler is tilted up. The aperture is too wide, causing visual errors.
The following figure shows the front width.
Found a small detail when playing, that is, although the border is very narrow, but in fact it still hides a thin 5mm black box, and then found that my monitor will have, relative to such a large screen, this border has Fine enough, the normal distance to watch TV is just to see a thin border, beautiful.
At this point, the appearance of the PHILIPS TV is finished. From the appearance point of view, this product is very thin, the front is very delicate, and no gaps or rough spots are seen. It may be that I request relatively low, of course. Must be tangled where it is not good, it can only be the back, the back is not so thick, texture is relatively poor compared to Panasonic plasma, interface layout I used to rely on the middle point, plus a set of interfaces that of course better, other It should be nothing. The TV set sold by the Internet has just turned upside down. It seems that all of these are shapes. It seems that I am ignorant. I have always been not very picky and tough. It was always felt that the previous TVs were durable and strong, but it was a pity that the products of Kindred were often eliminated. Try using the downloaded 4K video to play. Before you can change the Panasonic 50PV80C on the TV cabinet, use it as a background, haha.
Finally came a picture on the TV cabinet. The wire was too short. There was no way. It was just a little biased, not in the middle, but I felt it was okay. Please pat.
Features & contrast screen
Let's talk about the display part now.
First of all, first give yourself a refresher on the knowledge of 4K. Although you have participated in the BIRTV exhibition before and you have listened to the 4K seminar, but it seems that the notes are not done well. If there are any mistakes, I hope you understand and correct me. Come out, thank you. Just remember that 4K is suitable for close-up viewing, and it is not only the improvement of the resolution, but also the improvement of the overall image quality such as color latitude and color space, but it seems that most people generally only notice the subjective and easier resolution. Concept of understanding. What color latitude, color space, too mysterious concept I do not understand, can only talk about the most simple resolution, 4K resolution divided into 2 kinds of specifications: 3840X2160 and 4096X2160. It is about 4 times the current concept of 1080p. In the following figure, UHD is the pixel range of this TV.
However, in the era when the broadcast television industry is still not fully popular with 1080p, domestic TV stations are still producing more standard-definition video. What about it? This is related to another important concept of the TV panel, the image processing chip. After all, to play a 576i50 TV image in such a large pixel, it is only suitable for this high-pixel panel through chip processing. This Philips TV uses a 4K Ruiteng core. The official propaganda says it is intelligently optimized and presents a natural and realistic picture effect. Other manufacturers also have similar chips, but the names are different, but the slogans are similar. In any case, the main role I personally feel is the same. All of them are optimized to meet the 4K high image quality requirements. Because you can't use any CPU-Z to view and test, the picture quality is a very personal subjective thing, so it is very mysterious. But often the more important this thing is, the more important and important it is in the eyes of many people. Therefore, Dafa’s faith will often appear. Frankly, I’m also a follower of Dafa. Haha, no way, who has Dafa’s technology there? The following screen camera is about 260cm from the TV.
Let me first take a look at the Philips 4K Extreme Core setup interface, which includes advanced sharpness, dynamic contrast, dynamic backlighting, color enhancement, and gamma settings. The setting is very rich, and it can be displayed on the TV in real time, which is convenient for adjustment. However, I have set it according to the factory settings. I believe that few people will invert the settings inside.
Next talk about another bright spot, quantum dots, is also a new concept. Before Dafa was introduced, domestic manufacturers TCL followed suit and launched such products. Philips then tested the water on the monitor this year, and then used it on a larger screen TV. Such a LED TV was named QLED. I want to say that this is a very mysterious thing, but the actual viewing effect is clearer and brighter than my old TV. The next big segment was a few days I visited the forum excerpts, if there is an inconsistency, please also let them laugh, I do not know how to examine and verify, in short, QLED is more energy-efficient than OLED a few years ago, more cost-effective, want to Think before the plasma TV seems to be eliminated because of energy-saving and cost issues.
“QDs are tiny particles or nanoparticles with a diameter of 2 nm to 10 nm, and are tiny semiconductor crystals with optical properties (determined by material deposition technology). Their sizes are as small as nanometers and are made through a comprehensive process. QD Vision The company synthesizes these materials into solutions and formulates them as inks or films.QLED quantum dot display technology uses an active method to control the on and off of each color pixel.Light or electrical stimulation will cause the quantum dots to glow. Quantum dots can produce different colors by producing the quantum shape and size of the material.The advantage of quantum dots is that they can efficiently select the desired spectrum.Traditional white LEDs use blue LEDs covered with yellow or orange-red fluorescein. This combination of blue light and yellow light lacks red light, making other objects such as human skin appear distorted by the set of cold light.
QD's highly saturated color has a huge luminescent material potential for next-generation display applications because of its high quantum efficiency, high spectral resolution, and wavelength-susceptibility.
The QLED display technology has higher light efficiency than liquid crystals and OLEDs, and the manufacturing cost is lower. Samsung estimates that its cost is less than half the manufacturing cost of LCD and OLED panels. QLED quantum dot display technology is better than OLED, brighter and cheaper than it, and more energy-efficient. Energy saving is a powerful feature. Its power consumption is one-tenth to one-tenth of Samsung's existing LCD screens. Its display manufacturing cost is less than half of OLED and LCD, and its lifetime is longer than OLED. â€
The official propaganda stated that the color brightness increased by 50%, the color purity of 2 times and the brightness increased by 30% to 40%, and brought a higher color gamut of color experience. Before I unpacked NEC's PA242W monitor, i1 display pro colorimeter was used to test color accuracy. Also this time I also hope to use the existing color correction instrument to perform non-professional inspection of this TV. The test environment is not strict, the accuracy will not be too high, only for everyone's entertainment, self-judgment.
First of all, the test environment for my Panasonic S10 laptop, windows8.1 x64, use HDMI cable to connect the TV. I1 display pro comes with i1 Profiler color correction software. But it needs to be pointed out in advance that the NEC Spectra View Profiler color correction software was used in the previous monitor calibration. I only used the i1 Profiler once. The results of the data are not very familiar, and I hope to understand it. , but we can tell you in advance that TVs generally do not differ too much in color gamut. Well, sorry for the nonsense, directly on the map. The first is the detection interface, using the latest version, support for display device and projector color correction.
Then select the color gamut, I chose the NTSC color gamut, the type of test selected WLED type, other settings are set as the TV default,
Then select the number of patches to use for the calibration. I chose a medium level, 211 patches. The principle is estimated that the TV shows different color patches in order, and then the color correction instrument compares the results based on its own data.
The next step is to place the color correction instrument as instructed. I chose the brightness before calibration.
The results show that the brightness is too high, but this is no way, HDMI can not call up the TV set options to adjust the brightness, but it can also be seen by the manufacturers to promote the characteristics of high quantum brightness, wait until the evaluation results will tell What is your actual brightness?
Click on the next step, the 211 color blocks that were selected before the start were compared in sequence, and the screen was taken for a few shots. The color was not taken when it was just a solid color. Please do not misunderstand.
Just to see if there is anything like bad spots or light leakage. Fortunately, I did not see anything. After a few minutes, the calibration result will be given. It can be seen that the contrast is currently 224:1 and the brightness is 270 lumens. Others said frankly that I couldn't read it and I felt pretty good. It needs to be affirmed here that for the television, the school color meter is only used to view the color gamut, the color accuracy or the luminance uniformity to be seen next, but it cannot perform color calibration on the television. Because for the school colorimeter, the color correction file it generates will only be effective on the connected computer, and it will have no effect on the television. But you can make adjustments on your own within the TV based on the report, because of personal preferences.
Found that color correction software also has brightness uniformity testing, so they began tossing. A 9-square test was selected, and each square was calibrated with a school colorimeter to obtain the luminance value and color temperature.
It is also more troublesome to move the colorimeter up and move it 9 times.
The final data results are released, the data change rate is not too large, 55-inch large screen can do this uniformity should be very good, we can judge. If you want to say a comparison with a 24-inch computer monitor, then there really is no need for comparison. The viewing distance and requirements are different.
The tedious coloring process is finally over. It is not rigorous. Please bear with us. If I have commentary mistakes above, please also ask the professionals to point out, I humbly accept and improve, thank you. To a few screen shots, using 4KQLED to see 576i50 closed-circuit television is actually much better than I expected, personal feel and not because of low-quality signal and make the TV screen looks very rough or full screen pixels, but feel The comparison of the 720P TV sets is more clear. It makes me surprised. I do not know if it is related to high brightness.
At the same time also put Panasonic 50PV80C plasma TV screen shot, limited conditions, can not be put together to shoot, can only shoot the same distance compared to the same, the input signal is closed-circuit television 576i50. The film was very amateur. After the filming, it was found that the reflection on the glass was also printed on the photo, affecting the screen shot effect. Please bear with me. Thank you.
Apart from the difference in exposure, it is quite obvious that the difference between the two TV sets can be seen. The advantage of 4KQLED in resolution is too obvious. Panasonic's focus is on pixels. However, apart from the pixel alone, Philips is more colorful, and Panasonic is more thick and textured. Of course, the contrast between the screen shots is not strict, please lightly spray. However, the difference between QLED and plasma can still be clearly seen, it is hoped that the color is more colorful and rich? Still want the screen to be more layered? Did not have to choose, plasma has already withdrawn from the stage. However, the display technology is now more beautiful and beautiful, and it is more eye-pleasing. According to my family's words, watching TV now is like looking at a picture. It is very bright and bright. ,
Philips is very detailed in the picture color and sound settings, very much, I have to open for evaluation of each option settings, and then have been dizzy, do not want to touch within a few days, do not ask me to review it again. In addition to the noise reduction, I have the default settings. However, manufacturers are very intimate to provide an option to quickly set the screen and sound, so that everyone can quickly set the screen and sound. Very intuitive and easy to use.
It is easy to find the color and brightness of personal viewing habits, a bit similar to the feeling of the font settings guide in the Windows system, allowing you to choose the most comfortable display and sound effects. Like it. Once you've set it up, you don't need to enter that stack of secondary menus. It's very practical.
The visibility is also very wide, and there is no problem with color cast or sharpness.
Finally, in a comparison chart, one side is the Philips QLED, Panasonic's plasma TV side is aRGB calibrated NEC quasi-professional-level display, the change factor is too much, the brightness is not the same, the exposure is also different, nothing to compare Sex. Just for entertainment, there is no reference.
Change your taste to cheerfulness, Philips' unique Ambilight, Vibrant and Streamer. This function can increase the color atmosphere with the aid of the transformed light, no matter what media or content is played, and it is a very dazzling skill that makes the picture and the environment slowly blend together. Still screen shot, if you take a bad photo please forgive me. After the first picture was taken, it was found that there was no color function. However, the next few have already been set up.
Specifically recorded a video, hoping to fully demonstrate the features of this feature.
In addition to being able to follow the playback screen to change colors, Philips also introduced the function of streaming audio, literally it can be understood as changing the color with the sound or music, the video is here, but the recording is very rough, please forgive me. The effect is not bad.
Finally, put down the sound of the TV, quite satisfactory, I really can not hear how shocking feeling, after all, where the TV volume is placed, the pronunciation sound cavity can not be done too much, but there is surround sound and Dolby blessing should not bad. By the way, another old CRT television set in the house, with its own subwoofer, was purchased in 1997 and is now in the bedroom, but that sound effect is really much better than the current television.
Features
I hope everyone will not look halo, write down here on the remaining part of the function, this part is the most complicated, large and small many settings, light brochures have almost 60 pages of introduction, I am not here so Mothers and mothers take up everyone's time, give everyone a look at the setting interface just fine.
Mainly want to give everyone a look at this piece of smart TV, first take a look at the hardware configuration of this machine.
This configuration should be mainstream, of which I prefer to support 5G wireless signals. I bought a network box a few days ago, but only supports 2.4G wireless networks. I sometimes feel that the signal is interfered and the playback is not smooth. There is no problem with the wired network. It is useless for a few days. This TV directly supports 5G channels. It is very stable at present. Easy to access the NAS server in the LAN with the easy-to-use features, and this TV supports many mainstream mp4, mkv and other video playback formats and MP3 audio playback formats, saving a lot of unnecessary playback in terms of ease of use. Equipment and wire, like it, maybe this is the advantage of smart TV over traditional TV.
Today's televisions have integrated the functions of a network box and are becoming more and more functional. Unlike previous TVs, they have a single function and can achieve many functions and have a richer life. The benevolent sees it. I still like something pure. Although functionalization brings a lot of convenience experience, I also agree that a single product will bring about better quality and concentrate on improving the image quality. This TV has two interfaces, one is an ordinary TV interface, and the other is a smart TV interface. There are separate buttons on the remote controller that can be switched freely. At present, I use more ordinary TV interfaces.
Take a look at the smart TV interface. The smart TV interface contains several sections for TV, games and applications.
The Android version is 4.3 and the software version is 2.11, providing manual and automatic software upgrade options.
TV this piece built-in iCNTV software, screen photo for everyone to see it, it is estimated that parents like to look at the network of what can open look.
Then is the application of this mall, and found not to install their own apk file is regrettable, there is no software to use the mall, but even if there is a lot of software available for download I guess it will not be installed, think TV is television, better than nothing . I was too outdated to accept the TV as a smart phone.
Finally talk about the entire TV system, boot from the lights below to enter the channel screen, probably in about 17s, plasma boot about 8s or so. Since I didn't know the operating habit when I first started, sometimes there was a feeling that the TV didn't respond when I entered the menu selection. I thought it was a crash. Later I discovered that I didn’t know what I was doing. When I was familiar with the operation, I would still find it very smooth. . For example, when you insert a USB flash drive, a prompt will appear in the lower right corner to tell you that the USB flash drive has been recognized. If you press the menu button at this time, the TV will not respond, and you need to press the return key on the remote control to exit the prompt. Or automatically wait for the prompt to disappear and you can operate normally. Of course, most of my situation is still watching the TV channels in the set-top box. The smart TV interface will not be heavily used. The internal 4-core CPU, 4-core GPU and 2G memory are almost the same as the mainstream network boxes in the market, except for the app. In addition, the fluency and experience will not be much different. Supplementary explanation The TV actually has a built-in help file. The first time you know that there is something in the TV, it seems that the manufacturer wants to be able to consider all the issues clearly and to be very careful.
Summary <br>If you can stick to see the end from scratch, I would like to say thank you to you, even if I know you will speak up and eggs, still thank you for your respect for me. When I first started writing, I was very confused and afraid of misunderstandings. I was afraid to be called a gunfire by everyone and I dared not write it. I just recorded it according to my experience and feelings. During the photographing process, the camera battery was charged 3 times. I do not want to mislead others. Who does not want to spend the less money to buy the best thing? Only this time I did not spend money. I don’t expect to watch TV for more than two hours a day. Instead, my family members have more say, spend half the time each day on anti-Japanese dramas and idol dramas. You and them explain that this is the latest technology TV sets, and how much the colors are. Well, how smart they are, they don't understand. The family only realized that the new TV was clearer and more vivid than the old TV. It was like a painting in the living room. It was beautiful.
advantage:
The shape is very simple and modern. It is like a mirror and a picture. The frame is very thin and the whole looks very complete.
Quantum dots blessing, color performance is very accurate, very bright.
Ambilight can increase the atmosphere, can be opened in moderation, open every day, estimates will be tired.
The easy-to-use connectivity features plus 5G wireless channel support make it easy to access NAS servers. However, it seems that there is a bug that can play m2ts files normally on the network share, but cannot recognize the m2ts files on the U disk.
The system operation design is very convenient, some small places are very hard, can quickly set the screen and sound, the system comes with a very detailed help documentation.
Disadvantages:
Boot time 17s;
There is a sense of smearing on the screen, which is estimated to be the inevitable result of the need for the SD screen to adapt to high pixels, and there is no picture quality like plasma.
The default brightness is too high, but dimming it will lose the details of the dark part. LED has a kind of harsh feeling, or plasma looks comfortable.
There are too few app store apps and there is room for improvement.
The input and output ports are less, HDMI only two, and still 1.4.
The work on the back of the TV can only be considered as improvised.
The remote is too long and the grip needs to be improved.
Well, basically think of so much, and certainly there Tucao said TPV product, then I am speechless, domestic efforts are also very hard to do, the market will come out in the competition good things. Frankly what boot time, what border thickness, what HDMI1.4, I do not think it is so important, but you do not write out, then you are a problem, no way, in fact, 4KQLED really brings the picture more delicate Clearness is not only reflected in 4K demo videos or Blu-ray discs, but it is still greatly improved on standard broadcast TV channels. I hope that through this evaluation can give you a little reference, if there are any questions or omissions, thank you for pointing out. Finally, thank you all for your hard work.
