Expanding the diversity of television applications


As a smart TV with application download function, the usual use is also indispensable. The Konka T55U has its own application store. All applications are pushed through Konka's background selection. TV is used as a product for the whole family and includes multiple applications including education, entertainment, and games.
Konka T55U has a wealth of educational resources, ranging from early childhood enlightenment to adult self-learning and other resources. Learners at different stages of the home are able to find the learning resources they want on television. The learning method is also very simple. You can select the learning content by opening the built-in app. You can also schedule your own curriculum as you did in class.
The game is also a big reason why everyday users are beginning to be obsessed with focusing on television for a long time. In addition to more game content in the app store, the T55U processor system that supports the smooth running of the game is also extremely powerful. 10-core dual 64-bit chip, data computing capabilities increased by 100%, the overall with two nuclear A53 64-bit chip, Mali720 quad-core GPU, two-core VPU video processor, NEON two-core coprocessor. At the same time have 1GB of running memory and 4GB large flash space, you can install more games.
For the current wireless life, there are few cases where access to the network cable occurs, so the speed of wifi is the guarantee for all online activities. The 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology used by the T55U supports MIMO dual-income and dual-receiving functions. The connection speed is 3 times that of the previous generation and reaches the 867Mbps.5GHz frequency band, which can avoid 2.4G device interference and ensure the smooth flow of the network while improving the connection speed.
There are separate categories for game pages, and all current TV game content includes. From the following figure, leisure puzzle, flight shooting, online games, strategy tower defense, action adventure and sports competition. These are all types of TV-based games that can be implemented on TV. After all, there is still a certain gap between PCs and game consoles. However, this kind of game experience is also a matter of relaxation in the short term, so it is worth trying.
"Gold bullet warhead GO" game can be seen from the figure below, the picture is clear and smooth, easy to operate, easy to use, and support for two people to play together, parents and children play very well, is to remember childhood and children play with The best toy.
The abundant application brings about a great increase in the operating rate of the product, which is also the main reason that television is increasingly neglected. So now TV is no longer just a screen product that can only watch push content, but a living room artifact with entertainment functions.

Professional Huanggang teacher highlights


What is distinctive is that Konka and Huang Gang have exclusive cooperation with the famous teacher Huang Gang. They have the exclusive education content of the teacher of Huanggang. They can provide synchronous education for teachers from the primary school to the senior high school. If you turn on the TV, you can experience the teaching effect face to face with the teacher. It covers a total of 229 courses from elementary school to senior high school, 9 university subjects, 5,200 classes for approximately 3,000 hours, and is taught by 95 of the most senior Niu Gang teachers, including 30 senior teachers, 9 first-class teachers, and 15 key teachers. 14 teachers.
When I was young, I always purchased the series of exercises from the Huanggang series, and I could not always accept the education resources of the first-rate elite schools in China. Now you can experience everything from nine disciplines at home. At the same time, it is a collection of three major contents of the People's Education, Zhejiang Education, and Jiangsu Education. This way, students and friends across the country can easily make choices.
The effect of clear video recording is like deep in the classroom of Huanggang. This is the best content of Konka this time, and it is also an exclusive resource that other brands cannot obtain.

HDR+ color wheel engine technology brings stunning display


The addition of HDR function and the addition of the original 4K LG Display hard screen make the TV display very good. Here we must first talk about the HDR technology. This is a high dynamic image quality range enhancement technology, compared to the ordinary SDR content Achieve better coverage of the color gamut and increase the contrast, achieve a better light and dark display effect, reduce the brightness at an excessively low exposure, and increase the brightness at an excessively dark place. This is also the main push technology of many flagship products in 2016.

As for the deployment of HDR technology, Konka is also the first batch of domestic TV manufacturers to realize their own technological transformation and use it for the whole machine. The technical problem of HDR is that it will be used for product launch in 2016, and China is currently only used by a few vendors, and Konka is one of the most popular brands. One of the enhancements in picture quality is hardware, which is the creation of screens and modules, and second, the ability to adjust the picture quality, which is the output of soft power. This is the unique ability of this product.
Konka T55U has its own black technology "true color wheel engine technology". In simple terms, the true color wheel engine technology consists of a combination of red, green, blue, and white color separation filters, which can separate the transmitted white light, rotate it through a high-speed motor, and then divide the different colors in order. The monochromatic light is on the specified light path, and finally the full-color image is synthesized and projected by other optomechanical elements. When dealing with colors, similar color balance results can be obtained in a variety of ways.
True color wheel engine can increase the color saturation to 12bit, so that the color performance will be more abundant, and the color of the picture and the image itself can be highly restored. At present, the ordinary television cannot achieve the 12-bit display effect.

The HDD with 4K video and 4K images was connected to the Konka T55U smart TV. First of all, during the evaluation process, we used the 4K standard test chart developed by Prof. Qian Yuankai and the cloud map taken by Li Jianhui to evaluate it.
The 4K resolution of the Konka T55U TV is relatively excellent. The Chinese characters displayed in the above figure can be clearly displayed regardless of black and white. Even the smallest row can achieve a complete display. Lines displaying different colors are also in line with the standard of the test chart. The boundaries are clear and the colors are clear. At the same time, the sharpness recognition ability is prominent, and the difference between the 4K HD and full HD resolution is obvious. The front details are visible, and the black and white line discrimination ability is normal.
We specifically selected images that can display the same kind of hue. Images with high contrast in black and white and colors contain a lot of images for testing. The clouds and the red leaves of the first image have particularly good reduction effects. Two or three pictures are better for color, and the reduction of different colors has been done to the utmost, and the final black-and-white contrast picture and dark field performance is also very good. This is also the color display technology that the T55U TV has. Effect.
Konka T55U uses Dolby sound and has better penetration in sound effects. So we use 4K video with higher specification for testing. We have selected some footage of still-frame time-lapse photography, as well as some animals and tasks. The details of the content.
First of all, through the motion video screenshot of a moving train, even if the details on the train are zoomed in, the “2816” figure can still be clearly displayed and the train's outline display is also very clear.
Let's look at the second test dynamic video capture. Birds flying at high speed over the lake have no smearing or ghosting. The details are also excellent. In the course of the test, we also watched video resources for several groups of sports events. There were no signs of stalling or smearing.

Segmented design looks even more atmospheric


Finally, we come to see the true face of this TV. T55U products use a more unique design inspiration, in the selection of the border through the seamless injection molding process to manufacture. Three-stage design can highlight the huge screen. Champagne gold as the main tone of T55U is more prominent elegance and temperament.
It can be clearly seen that the top border of this TV adopts a champagne gold color scheme, while the borders on the left and right sides adopt pure black color, and champagne gold is still used at the bottom to achieve a three-stage design. Is also a major highlight of the overall design, the general TV uses a whole body design, and such three paragraphs can highlight the sense of fashion.
The remote control still uses voice control, and the base uses a Siamese champagne gold color, but the plastic texture is not able to reflect the overall effect of the TV. This can be greatly improved.
The backplane is represented by all-plastic technology, and the secondary energy consumption is also the smallest presence in the current TV energy consumption label. The interface functions are also available, and the HDMI interface, network cable interface and AV interface are all complete.
Evaluation summary:

In summary, the Konka T55U has all the flagship features currently on the market and can receive more quality resources. At the same time, a better visual experience can be obtained after upgrading the display technology. After the HDR technology and the color wheel technology are implemented, the improvement of the entire TV is very obvious. This is another masterpiece that Konka can gain a firm foothold in the LCD market.
