Small Thunderbird I55C~ Perhaps the Best TV at 3K

First, preface
On March 29th, TCL launched the "Thunderbird" high-end Internet brand in Beijing's spring new product launch conference. The brand slogan is: simple entertainment, simple love, the I55C of this test has also been officially released.

I look at the value of the conference and product information from a personal point of view ~

4K, HDR, 450 nits of dynamic peak, QUHD Turbo image quality engine, I think it is the most crucial four points in all publicity points.

The main resources are Tencent and Youku ~ very good ~ buy members ~ can be better ~

Integrated design, do some beautification on the back ~

The Mstar838A processor is equipped with a Cortex A53 quad-core 1.7GHz CPU, T820GPU, and 2GB DDR3 + 16GB eMMC5.1. This processor has not been tested. It is not clear how the performance is. The memory and storage space feels enough.

FFUI is Thunderbird's Android optimized UI

Smart voice is a very useful feature ~ praise ~

OK~ This concludes the previous analysis. The valuable selling point is described briefly. We start the actual measurement below. The starting point of the evaluation is to let people who want to buy TV know that this TV is worth buying.

Second, appearance, workmanship, accessories

When I received something, I was surprised because Thunderbird made a box for the base. I felt sincere and full of money. The cost is not just a low express fee.

This is a positive look. The base is indeed more atmospheric than many televisions.

This is the appearance of the back ~ you can see it has been designed to be very simple ~ but ~ there is a more concise ~ see the figure below


The Thunderbird's base box is equipped with three back covers and a silver trim strip. After all the wires have been connected, they are guided through the designed grooves to the middle and the three covers cover. It's like the above picture ~ I have to say ~ The designer is absolutely obsessive-compulsive disorder, or is that perfectionist ~


Although the appearance of the side ~ 55 inches ~ but still enough atmosphere ~


This backside trapezoid ~ is also designed inside ~


Look, the designers think of the hardness of the HDMI cable will need a relatively large space to spin ~ Designer is definitely HD lovers ~


The base also made a fool design, you can not install anti-~


The support angle of the base, there is a USB interface on the right side of the front and the standby button on the back


Looking at the base and the standby button from the back


Just below the middle is Thunderbird's logo and breathing light ~ breathing light actually there are three modes set ~ I have a feeling of Luo teacher involvement in the design ~


Side with a silver frame wrapped inside the black frame, at first glance thought it was ultra-narrow frame ~ of course, plus silver black frame, is also a very narrow border ~ visually easy way to do very good


Thickness is also worth noting ~ I have repeatedly commented on TV has said that if the TV to do thin to do thin, increase the cost, in fact, there is no need to - if more 1CM thickness can be less 500, it is estimated that many people are happy ~


The boot state can see the black side of the screen~

I think that the designer is an obsessive compulsive disorder in the past. I am actually a perfectionist. In fact, I did not say something wrong. The materials and materials for the accessories are also a little bit surprising. Here are the baffles on the back of the trunking. The details can be seen from the details of the accessories. Whether it is intention



This side is a buckle ~


This side of the three points is soft glue ~ because of the consideration may need to often pull the slot, convenient to remove it without damaging the cover ... Detail control is in place


This is the included bracket! The TV's wall-mounting bracket! Surprised! I measured several TVs. The first time I encountered a TV with a distribution bracket~


Other accessories are the power cord and remote control and extension cable ~ remote control actually equipped with a feeling of good bag ~ ~


Although the shelf is very small, the master who installed it also said that Thunderbird 55-inch door-to-door installation is a service fee of 80 pieces. Usually, this rack is generally equipped with 46-inch models, but since it is a factory distribution, I believe that the weight-bearing will not There is any problem ~


The quality of the remote controller is first-class. At present, domestic smart TVs all take the simple route. Compared to Samsung's remote control, the remote control is still full of buttons. Individuals still prefer the simple type. After all, many TV functions are set in the menu. Need to switch ~ Not to mention switching is not a very difficult thing ~


The power jack has done L-type processing ~ is also a place where attention is paid to detail, especially for children's shoes with TV sockets pressed behind the TV cabinet, and the benefits of L-type plugs are well known.



The mounting method described on the back of the bracket and bracket box~


Summary: Thunderbird I55C appearance is a mainstream design style, but also better take care of the aesthetics of many ages, television body to the accessories material work is also in place, accessories with bracket is conscience, elegant design, humane details, Recently I have reviewed X meters ~ cool K ~ three to send ~ L TV and other television, from a lot of user-friendly details on Thunderbird I55C is a victory ~ many details, you have not experienced better design, will think it This is the case, but after experiencing a better design, you will feel that you can! And from then on the old design can no longer adapt ~ this point, Thunderbird I55C do a very good ~ such as ~ L plug, is a typical highlight.

Third, screen and HDR

All the following evaluation contents use TV's standard image quality mode unless otherwise specified

School color tester

The first is the result value of the color gamut and the result of the prediction. The result is very fine. ~99% of the sRGB, 81% of the Adobe RGB, and 84% of the DCIP3 are measured from the left figure. It's reasonable to say that such a screen should be color-accurate and full-scale standardization. If this is the case, let's look downwards.


Color gamut chart and graph ~ Overall feel good ~ The first feeling is that 3000 blocks seem worth it!

I had 51 colors on the color test and did not select the lowest 26 colors. The results are as follows:


Measured vs. assumed target whitepoint ΔE*00 white point deviation is 4.27, excellent is 1-2;

Measured whitepoint average color deviation is 1.54, excellent value is between 1-1.5;

Maximum ΔE*00 The maximum color deviation is 6.04, excellent value is between 3-4;

The following is the specific performance of color ~


From the above figure, we found a feature with a poorly performing part (the smaller the rightmost value is, the better), all of which are medium grayscale colors, such as the 4/2/30/37 colors, while pure black, pure White, blue, green, purple and other normal colors, the score is extremely excellent ~ This also shows why the previous test results are good, but the total score is not high in the color test, the barrel effect is reflected here ~ See performance


Color temperature: brightness starts from 45%, color temperature will have a more normal performance, less than 45% is not OK ~


Gamma:gamma is weird, starting from 50% brightness, all the way to go...


Gray balance: 55% to 90% of brightness slightly deviates, other brightness is OK

2. Image test

Image test I will use the screen shot and the original image comparison, we can easily see the TV's color reproduction effect ~


In this picture, I want to show that I'm actually taking a picture, not a black figure P with 4 characters going up. Thunderbird's black performance is in full compliance with the black score in the color test. It's all black.


Red accuracy is first class! ! ! Note that I am very excited! ! So quasi-red on the 3,000 TV, I'm very excited to cry ~ and evenness is first class!


Well, to the green I am a little normal, the green color is also good, but slightly uneven in the middle ~


The blue color is slightly weaker than green, but it is still a good performance in the reviewed models.


White has better performance than blue-green, and the corners have dark corners.


Judging from this chart, the slightly lower gradation score of the school color tester is not obvious.


Of the nine balls in the lower right, red is the most accurate, almost the same as the original, while green and blue are a little lighter, and the grey ball is the most obvious.


On the portrait, the original tone is somewhat old. In the past, the biggest problem in testing this picture was that the brightness of the face and right arm was too high, commonly known as over-explosion, but this time there was no such phenomenon.


The overall effect of this picture is more vivid on the TV. The skin color on the neck has turned reddish slightly because of its grayish color. Pay attention to the distant view of the upper left corner and it is not as clear as the original picture.


The biggest difficulty in the castle's map and television test is whether the lines on the gate can be seen clearly and the color of the stone in the lower right. As you can see from the above figure, the color at the gate is slightly blue, and the color of the stone below it is a little reddish. .

3.HDR test

HDR I briefly explain that in the HDR TV I tested, the HDR situation encountered is as follows:

(1) Uniforms only support video on TV, but not on the external player;

(2) In the HDR of TV broadcasting, some TVs only support HDR-encoded video, and some can support some common video (optimization only);

(3) HDR function can not be turned on or off;

Well, below the HDR screen capture contrast ~ video using Samsung HDR display video ~

The first comparison is the HDR style selected in the standard mode ~ screen style ~ actual HDR decoding three effects ~





Earlier I just started testing that I thought that Thunderbird's HDR function actually can be turned on and off manually, which made me excited. At the same time, the actual discovery was just a picture style that was adjusted by parameters. But the effect of tuning is really Have a certain use ~

Below I used the latest measured Samsung and LeTV HDR screen photo comparison ~ ~ not many maps, but to ensure that you can see the difference ~


First of all, LeTV was completely overexposure, and it was possible to ignore the HDR effect of ~Samsung and Thunderbird. However, because it was red, it was said that Thunderbird's red color was very positive, so Thunderbird gave people a feeling of more splendidness. excellent.


LeTV's green is slightly overdone, and the three are closer to reality. The Thunderbird is between the two. Which style do you like? Really depends on personal preference.


Backlighting The three brands on this map can be said that there is not much difference, it can be seen, HDR in the case of strong light and sufficient brightness, the performance will not be much worse, and when the brightness is not high, between different manufacturers There will be obvious differences in the adjustments, and it will be decided that everyone's preferences will be better.

Summary: After understanding, the screen is TCL's Huaxing Screen. When I evaluate TVs very early, I often say that in the current TV market, the color adjustment of businesses is often not the direction of the display, but because of the main customer base of the product. Decided that Thunderbird's tuning playback is currently very mainstream movie and television drama is very outstanding (bright colors, brightness, foot, high-definition features), from the use of school color instrument test data results, the Thunderbird I55C screen quality, at the price of 3,000 There seems to be no rivalry on the TV. Its characteristic is dolby vision quality, bright colors, accurate color performance, and some low-grade gray points. This is more rare on the current low-priced TV. After all, for otaku, the big sister. The white skin became red, and it was completely absent. The screen was a big highlight of the Thunderbird. I had never seen dolby vision for 3,000 yuan, and it was worth buying as a key reference point.

Fourth, the UI system

Thunderbird uses its own optimized UI, Android, can install APP, ~ I focus on measuring the following pieces of content, separate to say ~

Thunderbird Channel

LeTV has a music video channel that broadcasts different content in different categories throughout the day. The content of the channel is very rich and the resolution is first-class. The Thunderbird channel has the same effect. After using it, it finds that the Thunderbird channel is the same as the music video channel. More extensive, in addition to young children's content, some old and middle-aged people like the old video is also a lot of ~ This is a great bonus points on the resources ~




TV users of Thunderbird TV I55C can enjoy meals and tutorials: Thunderbird TV I55C through U disk installation sofa butler tutorial Install sofa butler to expand third-party applications.

2. Film and Television

The movie and television resources are the most important section of all online TV brands. From the initial use point of view, newer movie and television resources do not need to be worried. Some overly obsolete movies and television are more luck. I also said that Thunderbird is very suitable for use. To watch some new video resources, this Thunderbird is better to take care of the young audience, all kinds of free HD resources are rich, in addition to the basic 1080 resolution, many also provide the Blu-ray definition ~ in free resources this On the block, Thunderbird and first-rate domestic brands are basically on the same level. Compared to Samsung's video resources, Samsung Sony is only a platform APP, such as Samsung's low-end models are basically mango TV, and the system is closed , unable to install other mainstream film and television APP), it is a victory.


Television and movie resources are abundant and the classification is clear


Some movies and TV series provide Blu-ray resolution


Late night cafeteria~


Advertising is also there ~ only random advertising time, sometimes 30 seconds, sometimes more than ten seconds, but also accept ~

3.VIP

VIP has now become a must-have item for every manufacturer. Before that, Thunderbird was the video source of Tencent. If it is a serious TV baby, it is actually worth buying. After all, members can see a lot of quality resources, including some More classic resources are also needed for film and television members to watch. For example, after just reading the mummy, you can search for the mummy trilogy and find that despite the long history, you still need members to watch.

4.APP

I think for some young people who purchase domestic TV, whether or not they can install APP is a very important purchase condition. The following diagram shows that the security of Bunny and the Dangmei market explain everything Thunderbird preloaded with a lot of APPs. The market also provides a certain amount of APP downloads, which is enough for ordinary users. If you like more resources, Thunderbird does not close this channel from the system and is worthy of praise.



5. Game Channel

Playing games with the remote has always been something I feel uncomfortable. After all, there are too many devices that can be used for entertainment. I think only middle-aged and old friends may be interested in this. Thunderbird preloaded with a lot of games ~ casually opened a play, very smooth, is the remote control feel ...


6. Kids Channel

Now education resources have become a very important content for many parents. Thunderbird has introduced more APPs and charging resources in this section. If you are willing to pay a fee, the resources are huge, but the free resources are a little less, if you don’t pay attention. Teaching resources, do not mind, now the preschool education resources itself is also a big piece of cake, we all want to come to share ~ free cake is less and less, whether it is worth it, everyone consider it ~


7. Performance test


Ann Bunny evaluation results, three maps simply stated that Thunderbird's hardware is enough for use, but also felt in use, and did not enjoy the high fluency of max4-70, but there will be no Caton phenomenon ~ The medium level of this type of television.

8. Settings

Every TV got my hand. What I love to see is to set the content. Thunderbird UI settings are all of the TVs I have used. There is a UI that sets the most options. There is no one, and many functions are not like Most of the brands are just used to solve pain points, Thunderbird's UI settings, and many are used to solve itch spots.


The sound mode gives you 6 presets, and actually allows you to customize it. - I'm seeing for the first time in the TV's UI.


Also consider the user who hangs or puts the desktop on the pedestal and sets up two sound field modes.


Set-top box link settings, can set two breathing light modes, sleep shutdown ~


Also provides a diagnostic mode ~

Limit to space and practice to enumerate the above points, Thunderbird UI gives me a feeling from the setting item, the TV's smartisan~~

9. Input method and pronunciation

Thunderbird only provides the nine-grid method on the input method, and it is not the T9 commonly used by mobile phones. Instead, it selects the pinyin method after using the direction. It does not feel very convenient. Fortunately, the voice search is very convenient, and it can be in any state. Can be used, including advertising time can be, after using the voice, no longer want to use the input search function.



It is important to mention here that Thunderbird's intelligent voice is different from normal TV voice. He is simply a TV in the siri~ TV. He first of all, it is a floating window in the existing screen, it will not directly affect You watch now. When I say "Today's weather", the floating voice window will show the local weather forecast for the past three days. It will also be evaluated. The weather is good today. This kind of, Beijing weather, Beijing will appear. The weather forecast, said the latest movie, will automatically search for the latest movies to join and on demand ~ said Stephen Chow's movie, there will be star Ye's movie search results! When communicating with the voice system to inquire about the stock market, it took the initiative to recommend HKUST to fly, so we know that the system uses the intelligent voice system of HKUST.




10. Other highlights

HDR10 video playback will start when HDR-decoded video is played.



When playing HDR-decoded video, the quality preset options will change ~ Optimized for HDR


When the TV is playing, other HDMI-linked devices start up and a prompt will pop up. Inserting a U-disk will also pop up a prompt to facilitate direct switching.


Remote control has a button dedicated to switching channels, very convenient


Display settings This section, in addition to a variety of preset effects, also provides a variety of options to adjust, easy to adjust your favorite picture style ~

Summary: I vaguely remember that when I first contacted LeTV, I felt helpless about the dazzling UI. The Thunderbird UI was the opposite. It was tidy, simple, and clearly oriented. Most of the time you could see the key Guided directions, such as switching Thunderbird Channels to the left, playing down to select episodes, and suspending adverts to cancel down advertisements, etc., a large number of humanized details all reflect that Thunderbird's designers are a group of outstanding designers who focus on the user experience and are rich in The setting options further satisfy the needs of various types of users. In terms of resources, though not as much as LeTV's resources, Thunderbird has already achieved excellent levels without spending money on membership. On the paid channel, because it is a partner with Tencent, as long as they are willing to purchase membership fees, resources are still very high. Large, and system hardware, it is estimated that because of product positioning problems, only reached a sufficient pass level, 3,000 TVs, can not always ask for more than 10,000 music as the max4-70 contrast it?

V. Experience summary

About workmanship: Thunderbird TV products are well-crafted and are all in place. It's worth the price.

About the system: rich resources, rich set of details, more human details, UI simple and easy to use, hardware can use.

About the screen: There are very few opponents around 3,000 yuan, the color is accurate, and the HDR chip decoding is accurate and excellent.

Purchase proposal: 3,000 yuan to buy 55 inches, accurate color, rich resources, with HDR, the system is more comfortable to use, I currently can not find the second choice ~

Suggestions for Improvement: Many home TVs are now wall-mounted, with high base costs and separate packaging, which increases transportation costs. Individuals feel that it is not necessary to invest too much in this piece. It is better to make an ordinary base and place it together in a box. In addition, Tencent members will also pay a few months for extra charges.

Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, etc. on TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
