PPTV has already taken the lead in the rapid development of network video. Because of its rich resources and timely updates, it has gathered many loyal network users at one fell swoop. But today, when all major online video websites are in full bloom, the cohesion of PPTV urgently needs to find a new development direction. The answer is the PPTV - 55P intelligent network TV that we experience together today.
From the beginning of packaging, PPTV gives people a sense of simplicity and atmosphere. The package is only marked with the necessary model, size, 4K panel and PPOS operating system.
Hardware
PPOS Internet TV system adopted by PPTV - 55P smart TV is developed based on Android 4.4 system platform. In terms of hardware, MTK5508 Cortex A17 processor, ARM Mali-450MP4 quad core graphics processor, 2GB high-speed DDR3 memory, 8GB eMMC5.0, flash memory speed up to 400MB/s, built-in dual band Wifi and Bluetooth; It supports Dolby and DTS dual decoding and H.265 HD decoding. With LG 4K panel and simple and elegant shape, this smart TV of PPTV is quite attractive.
Unpacking
The front display of PPTV - 55P is also printed on the back.
There is a simple unpacking tutorial on the top of the package. It only takes a few simple steps to unpack the TV successfully.
The first and most important step of unpacking is to remove the white buckles around before the packing box can be pulled out upwards.
There is thick foam filled all around the inside of the box. The TV tripod and remote control are stored in the foam compartment on the top, so you should pay attention.
The front panel of the TV also has a layer of cushioning material. The packaging design is really good, and the 55 inch screen is also very large, which is suitable for the living room.
Here are all the parts, including the instruction manual, aluminum alloy tripod, remote control, power cord, video 1:3 adapter cable, component 1:3 adapter cable, and four screws for fixing the tripod.
The remote control has a unique design, with LED lights in the upper left corner and mute keys in the upper right corner. The four function keys are designed around the upper panel, with the convenient key and the OK key in the middle. The volume and channel selection are normally placed on the left and right sides of the midplane. The power key, home key and shopping key run through the center.
There is a button battery inside the remote control. You can pull out the insulating paper before using it. There is also a groove at the bottom. You can take out the battery and replace it with a simple pull.
It is also very simple to install the tripod. Just place the tripod on the bottom of the TV correctly, and then tighten the screws. Moreover, the tripod has a tenon to prevent wrong insertion, so you don't need to worry about wrong installation.
Then connect the power cord, turn on the TV switch, and we can enjoy the visual enjoyment brought by the 55 inch PPTV.
Detailed appearance
PPTV -A 55 inch LG 4K panel on the front of the 55P has a screen resolution of 3840 * 2160, and three sides of the frame are very narrow.
Of course, there will still be some black edges between the screen and the frame. But because the screen is huge and the thickness of the frame is only 4.8mm, the presence of the black edges and the frame is weak when viewed from a distance.
On the left side of the bottom is the power indicator. The normal standby state will display a red light, while the working state will display a blue light. The lower frame is a plastic frame with imitation metal wire drawing. The silver design makes the front of the TV look more atmospheric.
The bracket at the bottom forks out, and there is also a non slip silicone pad at the bottom of the tripod, which provides a good support for the TV.
The logo of PPTV is in the center of the lower model. You can also see that the bottom border is also very narrow.
The back is a flat black panel with dense screw holes.
There are also some circular lines on the back panel for decoration, and it is more intimate that each screw hole has a small arrow mark, which is very convenient for installation and removal.
At the bottom right of the backplane is the basic TV interface, including the network post festival interface, optical fiber interface, audio interface, VGA interface and traditional one to three interface.
On the right are two USB interfaces (one is USB 2.0), three HDMI interfaces and digital TV interfaces.
There is also an operating lever similar to the direction key on the lower right side, which can be used to control the volume normally.
The thinnest part of PPTV is only 15mm, which is smaller than the diameter of a silver coin.
experience
There will be a simple operation prompt when you start up for the first time. Follow the wizard step by step to connect to WIFI, log in to PPTV members, etc.
After startup, the system will be prompted for updates. PPOS also pays great attention to system maintenance and updates, which are basically updated once a week.
PPTV - 55P connection WIFI selection interface and keyboard style.
There are WIFI signals, weather and time in the upper right corner of the TV. The PPOS operation interface is somewhat similar to the horizontal control on the Playstation 4 host. Select the category horizontally, and control the specific content up and down.
Click the menu key in the movie viewing to call up the selection of picture quality and picture proportion.
In the advanced settings of system settings, you can adjust the dynamic contrast, backlight and other settings of the screen.
The system information contains the MAC address, system version and built-in storage space of PPTV. PPTV has 8GB of built-in storage space. The system occupies about 2GB, and the remaining 5GB is available.
Due to the rich film and television resources of PPTV, the update of TV series is relatively fast, while the content of movies is expensive in copyright, and the current free resources are not new, while the newer movie content can only be viewed as a PPTV VIP.
The resources in the software application store are not very rich, and the sofa butler and file manager that are most often installed are not.
When a USB device is inserted, the TV interface will directly pop up the option to open the USB drive, which can read the video content and pictures. Unfortunately, third-party software cannot be installed. In addition to the shortage of app stores, the restrictions on use are obvious.
In addition, PPTV has a deep cooperation with Suning E-shop. In other interfaces, you can click the shopping button on the remote control to jump to the Suning E-shop page immediately, and select a product and press the shopping button again to directly add it to the shopping cart.
Since it is impossible to install third-party applications and test the CPU performance and operation, let's simply take a look at the performance of the panel. In the 256 level grayscale restoration test, PPTV performs well, and the transition at all levels is natural.
In terms of text resolution, the 4K panel of PPTV still has a relatively good performance, and the screen font has a good performance.
The color of the screen is rich and bright. However, if you look carefully at the screen, there is still a slight jagged phenomenon in the curve. The decoding ability of the TV is not good enough.
In the next routine 4K video playback, the appearance of the picture is good, and the color is solid. The following two pictures are live pictures of the screen. Because the resolution of the video is large enough, the details seen here are really good.
feel
As a smart TV with simple appearance, ultra narrow frame, ultra-thin body and 55 inch 4K panel, its price has been reduced to 4000 yuan, which is really a very powerful product for the current smart TV market. With the excellent cost performance and PPOS customized by PPTV, the overall usability is really good. However, the lack of content in the app store is always the biggest regret of this TV. I hope PPTV can continue to add more practical applications to its own store in the future. If this weakness is solved, PPTV - 55P will become more competitive.
