The more beautiful and imperfect 4K TV PPTV-55T evaluation



★ If you say that this year is the first year of domestic smart 4K HD large-size TV, I think we will not object. After a period of planning and layout, some of our familiar Internet video software has also joined the traditional home appliances - the TV war situation. From PPTV to Storm, to Youku, they have already planned to produce their own smart 4K TV. Internet smart TV, well-selling music as the originator, did not catch up with the waves, it does not matter, 4K first year has just begun.
★ PPTV software, I believe we must be used, rich HD video resources, in the domestic Internet video also has a place. The earliest I heard that Internet video software was to do TV is Youku, but did not expect PPTV to be made at the earliest. This time, I can get an upgraded PPTV 55T smart 4K HD Internet TV with PPTV 55P at Yi Xun, which is considered to be a special fate with Yi Xun. In early November, he attended the Yi Xun media meeting in Shanghai and met this young and dynamic team. He also had a deeper understanding of Yi Xun, a top three e-commerce provider in China. Therefore, the author in the double 11 in the Yi Xun under the single-wide comparison of the price after the Nikon D750 complete set of the most favorable machine, so happily sent to use!





★ In addition to the 55-inch TV, the PPTV-55T smart 4K HD Internet TV is also equipped with a Sound Bar PT355 TV stereo with a subwoofer unit. The packaging of PPTV-55T TV is concise and fashionable, white is the background color, and the picture of TV and stereo is used to visually show the appearance quality of the product. It is accompanied by words to illustrate its features: for example, 4K resolution, CIBN Internet TV, etc., more exaggerated. It is for the official price of 1299 yuan TV audio system, actually can be said to be "the sound of nature!" In fact, adding a zero behind the price, can not say must be "the sound of nature", not to mention the voice is still a benevolent see the wise see Wisdom's "Metaphysics." Seeing such promotional words as manufacturers, smiled.



★ The details of the package do a good job, including logos and so on. Especially when transported, it was used to reinforce the wooden frame, and it was very resistant to the general logistics of violent transportation. Moreover, there are thick packaging foams inside the packaging box. There is no need to worry about the safety of television and audio transportation.


★ PPTV-55T TV mounting accessories than the use of accessories, especially the base support components, metal material, weight Shen. Only the power cord, remote controller, and basic accessories are used to use the accessories.


★ The Sound Bar PT355 TV audio accessories for the TV are relatively abundant. From left to right, they are: TV stereo host power cord, subwoofer unit power cord, audio and TV dedicated cable, and two metal fittings with an included angle of 90° ( The role is to separate the wall from the TV, audio remote control.





★ The above is a TV stand. The texture is very good and the weight is very heavy. The weight of the 55-inch TV is no problem. Divided into two pieces, there are two rubber pads at the bottom, which can protect the tabletop from being directly scratched by metal, in addition to anti-skid.



★The appearance of PPTV's remote control is not surprising. Fortunately, the functional areas are all there, and shopping buttons have been added. What is this ghost? The remote control uses a button battery, so the thickness is very thin. In order to facilitate the control, a circular arc shape is designed on the back side to give it a comfortable feel.




★ First of all, do not doubt your eyes, not your eyes are blind, but the old LG 3D TVs that are hung on the back are actually hanged by the indecisive installer. The PPTV-55T is flat on the TV cabinet. Viewed from the front, the PPTV-55T uses an ultra-narrow frame, and the visual effect is much better than the old LG TV sold in 2011. The matte texture of black metal, BB gram of Biack material made a lot of calm. The 55-inch screen is slightly reflective, allowing you to see the wallpaper on the opposite wall more clearly.



★ Insert a sentence here, TV audio and television can be combined with perfect. With the feet placed on the TV cabinet, the appearance of the value of the perfect and wonderful; but if you want to wall hanging, the smart metal gasket with screws, and the thickness of the patch can still be seen, affecting the visual appearance The perfection, I hope the next product can improve this place.


★ The back of the PPTV-55T TV is also a black design. The back of the high-strength, high-molecular material HIPS material that has been brushed and processed looks good. PPTV huge LOGO in the middle, of course, this is a relatively weak TV, gently tap, there will be a loose voice issued, it does not seem solid support, the internal space is still left to facilitate heat dissipation.



★ An interface area is set on the back of the TV, which is similar to the recent design of the micro whale smart 4K TV, and it does not know who has learned from whom. There are two USB2.0 interfaces, one of which is on the top of the TV. There is also one USB3.0 interface, and even an SD card interface, which facilitates mobile storage to connect TVs for high-definition video playback. There are three HDMI interfaces, and it also has MHI function, which can connect various types of smart devices; AV interfaces and RF interfaces on traditional TVs are also available. It has reached the mainstream level from the interface capabilities.



★ The connection of TV audio and TV adopts a less common interface. It should be noted that the connection mode of the cable cannot be connected wrong. The author once installed it naturally and found that when using a TV, the subwoofer could not work at all, but using Bluetooth to connect the mobile phone played, but it can be normal. The reason for the last finding is that the direction of the connection line is exquisite: the connection direction of the data line on the TV is to be upward, and the data line of the connection direction on the audio is downward. Here to say, I noticed that the connection line and the position of the connection did not identify how to connect this data line, and the wrong person should still be quite a lot, I hope PPTV can do better in the user installation experience.


★ For the physical operation keys placed on the back of the TV show, it is an optional design, in addition to the power switch can often be used outside. If you are using this TV on a wall, then it is difficult to use it blindly. Although it is very unique in shape and has a four-dimensional gold rocker button, it is also convenient, but the buttons are too soft and should be raised again. Some can be easier to blindly operate.


★ At the bottom of the TV, there is a ventilation hole in the middle, and two sockets for the socket and screw holes are provided on both sides. Not only can the feet stand alone, but also the TV stereo can be mounted on a foot or wall, of course, Wall up, the appearance of the bottom will have some influence.



★ At the back of the TV, a row of cooling vents is also provided. The hidden design can prevent dust from entering. It is also very beautiful from the standpoint of aesthetics.


★There are also 4 screw holes on the back. To facilitate the installation of the TV hanger, the spacing is the standard 40CM. In addition to the special PPTV TV hanger, ordinary universal hangers can be used. However, it should be noted that the fixing screws have to be longer than the ones on the pylon, and they can be mounted and fixed properly.



★ A USB 2.0 interface is set on the top of the TV. Whether it is a wall-mounted or a pedestal, plugging in a USB flash drive is like wearing a popular hoop of hoop grass. However, the height of the wall will be higher, and the height of 170cm is more difficult to operate. Fortunately, I have a height of 180cm so there is no pressure, but considering the overall aesthetics of other people and the TV, set in the right or left side of the bottom of the inside position, it is more in line with the aesthetic and have a better experience .


★ The LOGO of PPTV-55T TV's lower frame adopts metal color, and it also has a power indicator underneath it. The standby display is red, and the operation is blue display, which has played a finishing touch and the value is quite high.




★ The overall side effect of the TV speakers was installed. It was found that the PPTV-55T TV is a trapezoidal design, giving a firm feeling. It is also a very difficult task to manually move the TV by hand. Both the top and the side of the TV are used. Aluminum alloy material, with black matte effect on the top and silver metal brushed effect on both sides, makes the TV frame and the side face shine, the effect is very good.


★ The distance between the metal frame and the screen, there is a black edge is not wide. From the side, the transition transition process is OK, and there is no big gap. The corners of the top corners of the frame have a hemmed edge, which is estimated to be better and the borders of the sides are excessive. I do not like this outstanding shape.




★Inspection of vernier caliper, the top narrowest dimension of PPTV-55T is 20.24mm, and the bottom widest (television speaker) size is 69.13mm. It is different from other TVs with the same thick shape. The unique trapezoidal design of the PPTV-55T TV leaves room for TV stereo with a transitional dimension. When using the base, it will tilt slightly upwards, compared to the flat one, the viewer’s The viewing angle will be more comfortable. In terms of wall-hanging effect, the screen will be slightly inclined downwards, and the viewing angle of the viewer will be very comfortable.




★ PT355 TV stereo consists of a main bar speaker and a subwoofer. The main speaker consists of four 2.5-inch full-range midrange speakers and two 1.5-inch high-quality silk-tone speakers. The main speaker is 1.23 meters long and perfectly matches the TV. In order to ensure perfect sound quality, electronic crossover technology was used. The TAS5731M from Texas Instruments, a post-production digital audio stereo power amplifier, was increased by 1 unit and enhanced power reserve.

★ On the right side of the main speaker, there are 5 metal buttons, which are matched with the anodized aluminum sandblasted aluminum panel. The touch feels good. The functions are the volume plus/minus key, the source input selection key and the Bluetooth selection shortcut key.


★ Bar-shaped mainframe speakers use aerospace grade aluminum wire mesh technology. The overall appearance of the TV set does not make any appearances. It is unified and coordinated. DGT is the connection between TV and speakers; Bluetooth can be played back with smart devices such as mobile phones. The advantage is that the connection is fast. The disadvantage is that it cannot leave very far, otherwise the sound is intermittent; AUX is required to pass the public audio cable. Connect to play the audio source, three modes can be selected through the panel or remote control operation 3 kinds of input mode, select the light prompt.


★ In the same way, sockets are left on the main speakers. When connecting with the brackets, rubber gaskets are used to protect the metal contact surface while preventing slipping.


★ SoundBar speaker interface with a proprietary TV interface, 3.5mm AUX interface, fiber / COA interface, etc., can connect amplifiers and other smart or audio equipment.




★ I think TV stereo is not worthy of a woofer. The SoundBar is equipped with a 6.5-inch subwoofer unit as a low-frequency sound output device. Wooden cavities allow higher sound density and better reverberation. Although MDF is not a solid wood material, the performance of the woofer is very good. Originally, the author wanted to buckle down the panel cover, but unfortunately it was very well fixed and couldn't bear to destroy and give up this idea.

★SoundBar TV audio is not enough to say in terms of the actual listening music and movie playback effect, but it is totally enough for home use. Because the subwoofer unit was added, the overall sound quality output was very good, especially when watching movies.




★ Smart TVs are good and bad, in addition to the external value, as well as internal software. PPTV uses its own PP0S operating system. This is a deep customization system, and the content provider is the CIBN who obtained the license. I got the TV, happy to immediately upgrade to the latest system, but because of the radio and television policy, the new version does not extend the installation of software. However, there is still a way to install the TV Android software that everyone loves.



★ The PPOS system adopts a cross interactive design. This design is rare, more manufacturers are using Microsoft's label design, the advantage is that using the remote control to select the menu is very convenient, saving operating time, the disadvantage is the lack of aesthetic interface, long time tired, if you can Changing the theme like a system is a good idea. After booting, the icon is selected by default under the "my" interface. The first one under the interactive interface is the "Search" option. You can enter the first letter of the movie to perform fuzzy search, which is quick and easy.



★ The following is the choice of signal source, there are digital TV, HDMI1/HDMI2/HDMI3/MHL/VGA/AV these input methods. The cross-shaped interactive fast control advantage is fully displayed here.




★That's right, PPTV bought out the right to live broadcast in China in the Spanish First Division League football league in 5 years. Therefore, there are special La Liga events in the software interface. Whether you are Aibeisha or Real Madrid, La Liga fans can't miss this great opportunity, much better than watching the national football.








★ Watching TV, the focus of ordinary people is watching movies, popular dramas currently broadcast, or variety shows to relieve stress. We saw that domestic movies were released in China six months ago. It is also very convenient to look back. TV dramas were also released about three months ago. Popular episodes such as Yanbang did not appear in the recommendations; variety shows were all compared. Rich, update speed is also very fast. Note that before playback, you can select the type of source by the menu button on the remote control.



★ Animation options are more than just cartoons that children love to watch. The love of otaku is here. The stinker who South Korea produced by the son is more loved recently can be found in it.







★ In the sporting options, there are many envy, including several UFC, WWE, and other popular sports events in the past few years. There are also some PPTV-made sports programs. .


★ More options include various types of video programs such as travel, finance, parent-child, music and more. However, the author finds that the children in the programs of parent-child programs and animation programs are suitable for watching videos. They should be more detailed in classifying the animations, specifically creating a parent-child plate for distinguishing.





★ The key point is, PPOS has set a special VIP prestige zone. If you are a PPTV SVIP user, you can enjoy the newer movies or Hollywood movies in an account with multiple clients. The HD video content is also very rich. Buy PPTV-55T TV, you can give free use of two years of SVIP membership rights, the official said that the value of 720 yuan, buy and not to buy the benevolent see the wise wise, but smart TV trends are hardware cheaper, programs receive money, The earliest in the country is represented by music.






★ It is bizarre that the OS has also joined the shopping channel and cooperated with Suning Tesco to sell more than just digital home appliances. Even necessities like facial tissue can be purchased on the TV with one click. The big screen experience shopping is really different from buying on a computer. Product pictures must be HD, otherwise it will affect the picture quality, but will affect the desire to purchase. From this point of view, it does a good job.




★ In the application section, I designed several sections for my application, media center, application market, and game center. By entering my application, you can install APP software or delete it to save storage space.







★ In the application market, the recommended software is also categorized into categories, because the TV does not recognize the APK file in the U disk, so the user must download the application in the market, do not know the meaning of the manufacturer or the SARFT Claim. The software content is not rich, and several softwares that are frequently used are hard to find.



★ Under the management menu, you can also uninstall the application and replace the wallpaper. Compared with the rigid OS system interface design is more personalized.



★ The Suning Tesco TV in my application revealed a simple and clear one. Kitchen appliances, department stores, seafood, fruits and vegetables, home furniture can be described as everything is complete, the feeling is more formal than Taobao and Jingdong, after all, is the official business, quality and after-sales are still guaranteed.


★ In the media center section, you can connect devices such as videos, pictures, applications, music, etc. in the TV system or external memory as early as possible. Tell you quietly, PPTV-55T need to be cracked to see the U disk APK file!


★ For the TV, the system settings are where I care. The key to a system is whether the content is rich or not, and the effect of setting is good. Below we start with the image settings.



★ Image settings are divided into user defined, standard, movie, vivid, and soft options for different users and scenes. The author used a soft image when playing animations for children, and the children didn't look harsh; while watching movies, the use of movie mode had a higher contrast ratio and a stronger three-dimensional effect. Of course, you can adjust yourself to your favorite screen. effect.





★ Under the music options, you can choose your favorite music effects, standards, music, news, theaters, different scene effects are not the same, note that there is no custom selection.



★ In the channel setting option, you can search for analog TV. The interface displays Mhz in the form of numbers, which distinguishes the traditional TV bar search and vivid images.




★ In the system settings, it is divided into four menus: Advanced Settings, Common Settings, SoundBar Settings, and System Information. The options in the advanced settings are rich, in which you can turn the screen off while listening alone. The audio is still played and is suitable for news while eating.





★ After connecting the TV audio cable, you can adjust the sound effects and wall-mounted mode in the SoundBar settings. The original desktop placed long speakers and walls are different for the sound quality output.


★ The last is the system information of PPTV 55T. The system version of PPOS has reached 3.1.12, indicating that the manufacturer will periodically update and update the latest system version. Note that the TV should not be root. Otherwise, it cannot receive push notifications.





★ When playing a movie, click the menu button to select the quality and ratio. Quality is divided into ultra-clear, blue light and the original three kinds of picture quality, the author j home for the district 100M telecommunications fiber, after personal experience found that: select the original painting there will be a case of Caton, and the picture quality is better than blue light Not much, but Blu-ray is much better than the ultra-clear screen effect. In the current domestic bandwidth, the high-definition picture quality of the network that can play H.265 format is already very good.



★ The author secretly entered the technical processing, install the sofa butler app, you can put the current popular TV software, a clean sweep. I watch online TV must choose HDP, look at the variety show interface or iQiyi update faster. Using the sofa butler assistant can also accelerate with one click, clean up unnecessary software, and occupy system memory.



★ Actually, through PPTV's wonderful software downloaded by the sofa butler, it was found that the content was more than the contents of the TV system. Most people didn't tell him.





★ Someone said, TV, why do you run? In fact, do not know do not run, a run startled. In the security Bunny video evaluation software for video playback, found that PPTV-55T TV does not support the format of only two! Yes, there are only two, which is much better than my previous evaluation of mobile video playback capabilities are too much . It seems that there are specializations in the medical industry, and television must still have superior video playback capabilities.



★After running a score of 810 points, it is equal to Skyworth and Hisense in the top rankings of TV and Internet boxes. Although not at the top of the list, the level of support for the format has already convinced me, I believe that in the next video playback will have a better performance.






★ Through the device information, you can see that the PPTV-55T TV uses the Android 4.4.4 version, hardware is the use of 4-core Matar-6A928 CPU and 4-core Mali-T760 GPU, 2GB of DDR3 memory and 16GB of the fuselage storage. Storage space is catching up with the mainstream mobile phone.



★ Through the running of the above two softwares, it can be seen that the score is not low. Although GPU is not the latest mainstream model, it is no pressure to use 4K video for decoding 4K video on smart TV.




★ It is undeniable that the quality of the screen is the final step in determining the display effect of the 4K TV screen. The 55-inch display of the PPTV-55T Smart Internet TV uses an LG hard-IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 3840x2160. We first detected the screen display of television through the domestic 4K pioneering money old pictures. Through real shots of the camera, you can see that all the performances are pretty good. If you have a perfect score, the author can make a 9-point score.



★ As for the real 4K HD or pseudo HD this topic can not be discussed on the PPTV-55T, found by shooting, 4K high-definition no doubt, because the compression of the relationship between the size of the picture, so can not see very clearly, the original film can be enlarged, you can See the details of the performance can meet the software prompts.





★ Through the full-screen display of white, there will be a slight gray-scale around the screen. I do not know if it is affected by the external light source.


★But through the all black picture test, I found that this LG 4K screen is very good control of the light leakage phenomenon, to know that the LG TV I use to buy back there is a phenomenon of light leakage, just beginning to bear, behind the more outrageous So that I rarely watch TV now.





★ Through several solid color tests, the screen shows the correct color, full screen no dead pixels, is a perfect 4K hard screen. It seems that the quality control of PPTV is still very good.


★ The following will use Super HiviCast Blu-ray test disc to evaluate.






★ This is a monoscope static test chart which contains tests for line by line, slash, round line, sharpness, grayscale, overscan, etc. Test results: The 4-week circle line is smooth without jaggies, there is no ghost in the inner circle, and the slashed line is clear. The straightness and sharpness of the central area is exactly without oscillation noise. The 10 gray-level transitions can effectively distinguish the 1080p lines.








★ As can be seen from the above gradient graph, the screen transition of PPTV-55T is very natural, and the contrast of the color scale is obvious. It is indeed a rare good screen.



★ Many text tests are tested in black and white or black on white, which is very representative. Test results: The external fonts forum is clear, and the outline fonts in the middle region are still clearly visible after being enlarged.





★ The above is a black (white) clothing test for black and white backgrounds. These 4 images are mainly used to adjust the black (white) level, ie brightness and contrast, not for testing purposes.

Test results: The details of the black clothes under the TV image standard setting are clear on the black background, and the white clothes details can be clearly distinguished on the white background.



★ Character skin color test, mainly to observe whether the skin color in the picture is natural, whether it receives the edge color and the influence of light. Test results: People face, neck, hands, natural color, thanks to 4K resolution, although the size of the picture has been compressed, but the beauty of the details of the hair still retained, clearly identifiable.


★ Character skin color test, mainly to observe whether the skin color in the picture is natural, whether it receives the edge color and the influence of light. Test results: Beauty's hair details, wrinkles around the corners of the eyes, reflections on the lips, etc. did not receive the influence of edge color and light.


★ Obliquely rotates the dynamic picture test, takes the guitar as the scenery, the class fan rotates 90° anticlockwise, and observes the quality change of the guitar string, the guitar as a whole, the guitar edge. Test results: Oblique rotation can better reflect the comprehensiveness of the LCD TV's ability in the transition of the screen. Especially when the silver guitar strings are rotated, they will be subject to significant interference, resulting in color interference, while the guitar as a whole remains in transition. Original, the fluency of the overall picture is less clear than when it is translated horizontally, and the eyes can see blurred pictures.






















★ It is necessary to summarize the advantages of PPTV-55T here:

1, screen performance eye-catching, bright and delicate, LG's 4K IPS hard screen really worth the money back;
2, handsome appearance, high face value;
3, cross-shaped interactive system, making the operating efficiency becomes higher, saving time;
4, TV sound system sound quality balance, home experience is good, value for money;
5, in the operation of other options, the program being broadcast can still run in the background, switching back without having to load.



★ Disadvantages should also be put out for everyone's reference:

1. For a MKV video source with a slightly higher code rate, it cannot be played or has a cardon.
2. The installation identification of TV and host speaker cable does not affect the installation and listening experience;
3, TV back physical buttons, blind operation experience is poor;
4, the TV remote control disc button, feel jerky hard, small circle diameter, often misuse.
5, the program is updated slowly, the content is still less. There is no display of the current month's broadcast.




★ Although the 55T smart TV launched by PPTV has some imperfections, the unanimous praise from the audience of the author, especially the small audience, is more beautiful. The family will always open the PPTV-55T smart 4K Internet TV. Watch the visual and audio vibrations of 4K video and enjoy your own HD photos.

★ When 1080P TV becomes weaker and weaker, 4K Internet smart TV is becoming popular. In fact, the domestic TV brands are not that unbearable, and advanced technology and innovation awareness are running through the entire Internet industry. Although the PPTV-55T is not perfect, it is believed that the strength of PPTV makes this TV more content rich. Although the 4K TV market has just started, but I believe we can see the efforts of domestic brands, so that every household can replace the old 1080 resolution LCD TV!
