At the end of 2014, the smart TV market caused an unprecedented sensation with the official launch of the first mass-produced quantum dot TV set by TCL. At the CES show in early 2015, this new TV set with full color gamut took off again. A wave of turbulence attracted many overseas exhibitors to discuss with each other. Recently, this TV+ TV new product has arrived at the PChome home appliance evaluation room. After a few days of exploration, this masterpiece will be presented to the public today - TCL. TV+ H9700 Quantum Dot TV.
Quantum dots are a very advanced nanomaterial with a grain diameter of between 2 and 10 nanometers. The photoelectric properties of quantum dots are unique. They are stimulated by electricity or light and emit pure, high-quality monochromatic light of various colors depending on the diameter of the quantum dots. The main principle of quantum dots applied to display technology is to excite quantum dot crystals of different sizes in a quantum dot fluorescent tube through a pure blue light source, thereby releasing pure red photons and pure green photons, and projecting the remaining pure blue light onto the image. System, so that you can use quantum dots to emit high-quality red/green monochromatic light with concentrated and very pure energy spectrum, completely surpassing the luminescent properties of traditional LED-backlit phosphors, and achieving better imaging colors.
In the frame processing, H9700 uses a metal polished edge, in the measurement of the fuselage frame thickness of 29.35mm. Although the thickness of the body is not the highlight of the H9700, but the appearance of the silver-gray technology sense that it still adds a touch for home decoration Bright color.
The bottom of the front of the TCL TV+ H9700 is a rectangular speaker unit. It is also very rare in TV products. The box of the world-famous Harman Kardon is used. The Harman LOGO is also seen on the dust cover. Joining hands is very atmospheric. Of course, we will talk about the sound quality after the article.
H9700 adopts a X-shaped base and a cylindrical hub column. The radius and the natural harmony. The all-metal concentrating column and the bottom shaft can facilitate the rotation of the TV. The 120-degree rotation range can still be satisfied. Living room environment TV usage habits.
Open the back of the two pieces of adsorption plate, you can all the hidden interface, is still we are more familiar with the vertical and horizontal arrangement of two rows of interfaces, the longitudinal outward is generally the usual pluggable interface, three groups of HDMI and USB Can meet the needs of daily use, and in the USB interface design, using a staggered arrangement, can ensure that when the insertion of multiple devices does not cause the winding of the wire, the vertical interface includes two microphones, USB2.0 × 2, AV, SD card, HDMI×3 and USB3.0 interface.
The bottom row is a few sockets that need long-term access, including LAN, digital audio output, antenna input, AV/YPbPr input, AV, VGA, and everything.
In fact, from the slight side view of the structure of the back, you can see through the back line of the All In One design, you can make all the plugs that must be kept connected through the bottom slot channel to ensure an orderly arrangement. When you put on the magnetic backboard, you can see that a complete whole is formed behind it, and you can really make the TV with all sorts of cabling behind to achieve an ultimate aesthetic feeling.
TCL TV + H9700 reached the most mainstream hardware configuration today, quad-core A9 clocked at 1.2GHz CPU and quad-core Mali 400 GPU, 2G DDR3 running memory and 16G of internal storage space, with customized Android 4.2-based Ikey Arts system, these mainstream configurations can ensure the smooth running of the system, of course, in the style of the interface is also a continuation of the previous TCL TV style interface UI, highly customized six-window magnet-type operation can find through the arrow keys you want to see Screen.
After connecting the TV to the Internet, in the system's default main interface, some recent hot episodes, play records, and local conditions can be seen at a glance. Stylized magnets of different sizes can be found very intuitively. Some episodes.
The second window of the movie page, 1080P, 4K and 3D video resources have their own area, Dolby professional certification of the Dolby area is also designed to enhance the overall audio and video to enhance the design, with Harman Kardon's speakers can Play a greater role in sound effects. In addition, variety, animation, or financial content suitable for all ages can be browsed here.
In addition, the conventional TV programs are configured with the set-top box, and at the same time, the broadcast content of the current program is seen through a preview image, and the display is synchronized and intuitive.
The entertainment interactive platform that TCL focused on can be found in the “application†of the fourth page, and WeChat is still placed in a very important position. The previously-acclaimed ATEN game hall can be used through the T2 gamepad. After matching, docking control, cloudscape K song and TV satellite TV can also enrich the richness of entertainment and actual APP installation, because it is based on Android 4.2, so that as long as it is a software that can be installed on a mobile phone or a tablet, it can also be on TV. On the perfect experience. It can be said that the TCL focused on the creation of WeChat TV and game TV into which all-round application performance has increased the full playability and interactivity.
In the setting window, you can create a set of exclusive systems that are based on your own needs. You can select the signal source and network settings through this interface.
As the concept of high-end 4K is prevalent, a few days ago, Professor Zhang Qiankai, a member of the China Photographers Association and a renowned photographic equipment expert, has released a unique and accurate view of the color display industry. "High-end 4K test chart." The test chart is mainly tested in terms of 4K resolution, color accuracy, and wide viewing angle. By comparing test images on a 4K TV, you can easily distinguish the difference in the quality of different 4K technologies. The most easy-to-understand test chart for 4K TVs, and first of all, in the color test session, we will use these four charts to show what the QD TV can display in a static state.
The performance of the TCL TV+ H9700 in the 4K resolution test is excellent. The first one under all colors can be clearly displayed. In the 4K color block structure, the overall color block structure can be seen clearly and clearly. The visibility of the edge is quite high. In addition, compared to a previous TCL high-end smart TV, it will be noticed that there is a noticeable improvement in the saturation of the color.
In the 4K tone level restoration test, there is no case of jumping or merging in the gradation area. In the light and dark areas, the performance is also close to perfect, the transition is natural, and the recognition degree of the 21st gradation is quite high. Very soft and smooth in color transitions.
In the color performance test section, the performance of TCL TV+H9700 is still awesome. In the hue block diagram of the HSB color system, there is no even subtle phenomenon. The color distribution shows a complete triangle shape. The color ball diagram is The color transitions of all the spheres are quite perfect, and many of the general smart TVs that will appear in the market today are really higher than the others.
In addition, this classic test chart in the landscape map can be seen, TCL TV + H9700 in the details of the color performance is also done well enough, the screen brightness at the same time, in the smoke area shows a very complete picture, color Accurate control, while the 4K hard screen provided by this Starlight is also in place at the viewing angle, and it can have a very good look and feel at any position in front of the TV.
Adobe RGB is a practical color space proposed by Adobe in 1998. Adobe RGB has a wider color range and can more realistically restore the subject and record more color details. Here is also used as a reference standard. Only when ARGB reaches 100% color gamut, can we prove that it truly reached the ultra-wide color gamut mentioned in the introduction. We used the Spyder4Elite color correction instrument to perform color gamut on the QD TV through the matching software. The professional tests found that the standard color gamuts sRGB and ARGB all reached 100%, which means that the H9700 really reached the standard of the wide color gamut.
Static image testing has proven that QD technology has already been used on this TCL TV+ H9700. It is dynamic. We used the footage from the Ultra-High Definition Movie Equalizer and the Natural Scenery demonstration. test.
Dynamic contrast turns off different screens when turned on, with bright and dark highlights while the detail highlights
When the ultra-wide color gamut is turned on, it can be seen that the red spots of sunlight are more vivid, the color display is more accurate, and the details are more clearly grasped.
TCL TV+ H9700 is very rich in the setting options of movie images. Under the standard default setting, the color performance is not obvious, but after setting the dynamic enhancement and the wide color gamut to be turned on, you can find out the details of the colors and vivid saturation. There has been a significant increase in parameters. In addition, while we are playing a soccer game, if it is turned on, the dynamic of the screen will be displayed in a very smooth state. In the movie, this sense of fluency will make people feel a little distorted, so the individual is still Not recommended to open. Of course, there are also worthy manufacturers to do in the future is that in the 4K photo presentation, its setting options are obviously inadequate, only the backlight can be adjusted, and in some of the eyes of today's professional photographers, 4K TV for the presentation of these works still have Very attractive, and the lack of adjustment in these professional parameters may make them disappointed, we also hope that manufacturers can gradually solve this problem in regular updates.
   In fact, on the day of the release of TCL's Quantum-dot TV (parametric picture article), the performance of live sound effects has made the participants shocked enough. Without the use of any public address system, it created a feeling of reverberation in the venue. The reason is naturally due to Harman Kardon's 6-unit full-range design. In short, it can be said that the independent Soundbar is assembled on the TV as a component of the TV.
Harman Karton six-unit arrangement
We performed a musical audition through a direct-reading USB flash drive through an external non-destructive sound source. The main reference track for this time was the Eagles’ California hotel and the OST of EVA Q.
As far as the author's actual feelings are concerned, this sound system brings a satisfying sense of envelopment. After leaving a distance, no matter where you are in the room, it can bring about similar results, and it won't be because of you. There are different perspectives that cause poor listening. In terms of the performance of Chinese and Australian goods. All of them are more precise and delicate, and they sound very delicate. The addition of low-frequency loudspeakers has made a significant improvement in the sense of low-frequency volume and dive. Compared with TV bass, which has not been sensed in the past, it can be said to be heaven and earth. Differences, the resolution of the grasp is more classic Harman's style, there is no doubt that this Quantum-dot TV with Harman 6 units in the sound system and the common TV products are not on the same level.
For a long time in the past, we often discussed issues related to TV operation, because at that time, the hardware configuration was not clear or was in the stage of gradual development. The difference in operating experience is a big reason for consumers to be tempted. Perhaps we used to be able to ignore the true core of the TV because the 4K sources are not rich enough. That is the reductive expression of color, and TCL TV+ Quantum TV is undoubted. It is to let the TV set back to the commanding height of the color display.
Of course, the industrial design of this QD TV has also reached a new height in the past two years. The existence of the minimalist Nordic style has given TV a new look on the exterior and the pursuit of details has made TVs top-to-bottom. Become an organic whole, the new definition of ALL IN ONE line design, but also laid the foundation for the realization of this idea.
In addition, at the attention of CES2015, this TCL TV+ H9700 will surely lead the development of TVs in 2015 and even the future. In addition to the rich source, it can also rely on the highest color standard for these images. With a high degree of restoration, the high-quality Harman Kardon speaker units provided at the same time bring a full range of visual and aural enjoyment while adding new confidence to the future development of the television.
