Recently, we evaluated Skyworth HDR TV 65G8210. In more than a week's use experience, we were shocked by this LG 4-color 4K screen, and also attracted by its simple and easy to use system operation experience. Today, we will take a look at what is outstanding about Skyworth's version 5.0 of Kukai system.
System interface and operation experience
The default home page interface is a simple square card design. Each card's function has a corresponding label description, which is very simple and intuitive. The film and television center is located in the most intuitive position of the entire interface, and middle-aged and elderly people can easily watch TV dramas.
In addition to the most central film and television, applications and games of smart TV, there are also more distinctive education centers, tourism centers, music centers and brands, which use left and right buttons to move.
In addition to the desktop provided by Kukai System 5.0, the machine is also pre installed with a TV style desktop. Compared with the intuitive Kukai desktop, the TV style desktop is more inclined to highlight the wallpapers with impact, and the default wallpaper is quite pleasing.
The TV style desktop has stronger customization function, and users can customize the application arrangement according to their own preferences.
If you want to watch radio and television programs or other inputs, you can use the signal conversion switch on the remote control. The system has a very intuitive prompt.
After other input sources are connected, a green prompt sign will appear on the corresponding icon, and the priority of the signal source will be promoted to the first position. It is very convenient to switch the input source.
As a smart TV, we may use a variety of video applications to play videos. When we need to switch between them, the multitasking system will come in handy. As long as the Kukai system double clicks the home key, the multi task switching interface will pop up. With the left and right keys, it can switch smoothly and quickly.
The running speed of Kukai System 5.0 is quite good, and there is no sloppiness. No matter the startup speed and running speed of the program, or the switching between different applications, it goes smoothly. Such fast response speed benefits from the lightweight design of Kukai System 5.0. The design style of being free of clutter, simple and efficient, together with Kukai's good optimization ability, forms the high-speed response ability of Skyworth TV.
Resources and application experience
As a smart TV, its core competitiveness is of course video resources and applications. Although SARFT has gradually increased its supervision on smart TV and TV boxes, the core competitiveness of smart TV is being weakened. Because of this, if an intelligent TV can provide a strong legitimate video library, it will stand out from the competition.
Film and TV play
In the Geek Max Film and Television Center of Skyworth TV, we can see that the resources are generally divided into several categories, first is system recommendation. There are currently popular film and television resources, such as the recent record breaking Star Wars series. On the right are classified channels and popular resources. Users can find their favorite movies or TV programs in the corresponding categories according to their preferences.
There is no shortage of popular dramas such as Half Moon Biography and Young Marshal in the film and television library. They are updated in a timely manner and will be displayed prominently in the film and television center.
You can also search for resources like "One Ball Becomes Famous" and "Naruto". I have to say that the search speed of Kukai System 5.0 is very fast. Almost at the moment when the input is completed, the search results we need are popped up, and the response is rapid and accurate. The excellent search mechanism of Kukai System 5.0 can make users no longer wait for loading results. Although it only shortens about 10 seconds, it has greatly improved the user experience.
The film and television center has also added history and collection functions, so users can quickly open episodes without having to re select search and selection. Skyworth TV's rich video resources benefit from its cooperation with Tencent Video and iQIYI, which provides a strong legitimate resource library and technical support, ensuring that Skyworth can get rapid video updates at the first time.
music
In addition to film and television resources, the machine also has a Geek Pod music center, where we can watch MV, listen to music, sing karaoke, etc. Music resources also cooperate with Tencent, and QQ music, which is currently the most abundant authentic music, has been built in. There is no need to worry about the music library.
The music interface will recommend some albums or MV collections, such as Jay Chou's classic MV collections.
It has built-in song list recommendation, which can be used for reference when you don't know what music to listen to.
game
As a smart TV, of course, it will occasionally play small games. Although its performance is not as good as that of the host platform, whether the game resources are rich or not has still become one of the reference standards for a smart TV.
The Kukai system has built in the game center of the Kuyou Bar, which has a wealth of small games for users to download. The game resources are relatively rich.
Humanized games are divided into board games, leisure puzzle, parkour racing, action shooting, etc.
The game experience is good. You can not only play casual games such as fruit cutting, but also play large-scale somatosensory games such as Gun King and Future Heroes. Users who like the game need not worry about the smoothness of the game.
Other functions
1) Education Center
Kukai System 5.0 has innovatively built in an education center, in which a variety of educational learning applications, nursery rhymes and classroom applications are built. If there are children at home, it can easily assist in education.

Yes, you are right. Skyworth is also a pioneer on the road of "TV shopping". Of course, this is not a traditional TV shopping, but a modern e-commerce shopping through built-in applications.
There are several categories built in, and you can complete shopping by lifting the remote control. Most of the categories are related to household and kitchen supplies. It is another kind of comfort to sit on a lazy sofa and browse the supplies you need at home.
What is more distinctive is the Universal Shopping Mall. Its shopping mode is very similar to traditional TV shopping. It uses intuitive video TV shopping and orders the goods you need by calling 400. The experience is similar to that of traditional TV shopping.
Different from traditional TV shopping, we can switch channels freely, view different shopping channels according to our own needs, and can quit Global Shopping at any time. We are no longer restricted by the broadcast time of TV stations, so our freedom is much higher.
3) Tourist Center
Although the startup icon is marked with a big "Ctrip", do not think that it is just an application to sell air tickets and train tickets. In addition to booking tickets and hotels, it also has a large number of travel strategies and travel notes.
There are a lot of high-quality pictures in the travel notes, which are very fascinating. You can also like them or interact with other users' comments. After being bound with the mobile app, you can also share your travel notes instantly and send them to other users with one click, so that you can quickly share your travel notes with your relatives and friends and enjoy the beautiful scenery together.

4) Cookai application circle
As a smart TV, its scalability is determined by the quality of the app store. We can greatly expand the functions of smart TV by installing third-party applications. A large number of applications are included in the Kukai application circle, and the applications we most need are classified into several categories, such as video, games, software and management, We can also select the applications we need by checking the popular list or searching. TV applications are relatively complete.
