The most rapid development in the past two years is no other than smart phones. What is the most promising thing in the past 16 years? Smart home (ecological). I have to say that developing a new product today is not related to "intelligence", which is also useless. Well, back to the point. In the intelligent era, if you want to buy a TV set, what aspects will you consider first? The author is just such a user who has a demand for TV sets. Before choosing TV sets, his heart is tangled.

The first choice is to summarize several key points of TV selection:

1. It can't be too small. If it's too small, it's better to buy a bigger monitor; So at least 49 inches start, but because the living room of the author is still relatively poor, too big to hold, so 49~55 inches is the most suitable.

2. 4K is a must, whether you use it or not, at least in this era, the first thing you need to buy a TV is 4K resolution. It's on a 50 inch screen. It's not like a mobile phone. It's hard to distinguish between 1080p and 2K. On the large screen, the effect of 1080 with 4K is very obvious. 4K will not be eliminated at least in recent years.

3. Intelligence is a must. In my impression, the reason why mobile phones are smart is that they are equipped with an intelligent system and become more rough; With more playability and better understanding of users' psychology, it becomes intelligent. The reason why TV sets are intelligent is that they are equipped with intelligent systems. At present, domestic TV manufacturers generally carry Android based systems. Today, with the development of the Internet, the biggest advantage of smart TV is that it can collect massive movie, television and game resources on the network. So intelligence is necessary.

4. In addition to picture quality, sound quality is also very important. For a poor loser like the author, spending money on a TV has already bled a lot. It is obviously not true that he needs a set of audio with a low frequency of use. So if there is such a TV that can achieve a certain level of sound quality, or integrate the sound of some famous audio manufacturers into the TV, it must be an excellent thing. So we don't pursue the ultimate audio effect, but it would be great if we could upgrade with traditional TV.

5. Others; Now it is popular to give away members, and want to live in a pure advertising free world. It seems that "member" will become another synonym with intelligence. Of course, the most important thing is after-sales.

When the author lists these information, he thinks he can take a seat according to his number. However, he still looks blankly; What brand should we choose? Smart TVs all look the same? When the entanglement continued, I was lucky to experience today's leading product: "Kukai 50A2"; Suddenly, the moment came to an end. Isn't this the product I have been struggling to find? Today we will analyze the Kukai 50A2 based on the above box. Is it a worthwhile product?

Unpacking:

Before unpacking, let's first understand the brand of Cookai; Kukai TV is developed and produced by Kukai Company, which was founded in October 2006 and is a high-tech enterprise funded by Shenzhen Skyworth RGB Electronics Co., Ltd. After its establishment, the company focused on new forms of TV products and value-added services of TV platform content. All technologies and products were in the forefront of the world. After years of deep cultivation in the field of smart TV, the company launched the Kukai TV brand in 2013, and became the first color TV brand that sold more than 100 million yuan a day on the Double National Day that year.

This is the first time for the author to use the TV set of Kukai. When he received the product, he was quite satisfied. Shunfeng delivered it in the original package and arrived safely. Even the outsourcing box did not have many transportation traces. Quite satisfied with this. The internal materials are very solid. As for the way to take out the flat screen TV, it is recommended that the users who first contact with the box take care of the instructions step by step.

Take out the accessories first. They are quite complete as a whole. One minute, three times, connect the composite cable, power cable, remote control, and warranty card of the manual. There are also two brackets and fixing screws. Obviously, the TV can be placed on the desktop normally only after a little DIY.

The installation of the bracket is relatively simple, but it is recommended to call a helper to help you build the handle. Note that the screws are coated with screw thread sealant, so it is generally not recommended to loosen them after installation. To prevent the bracket from loosening and falling.

Product details:

After the bracket is installed and the power cord is connected, the machine can be started normally. The full name of the small bracket requires manual installation. I believe it will not be difficult for users. The front is relatively simple. There is a Bluetooth button in the lower left corner, which is used to transform the JBL integrated audio system into an independent audio system. On the right side is the product logo. Of course, the JBL is more prominent.

Take a close-up of the back of the whole machine. You can see that the main board is concentrated at the bottom of the back of the machine. After preliminary observation, it seems that this Kukai 50A2 does not support regular wall hanging. Because the main board is designed at the lower part, the wall hanging is not very beautiful, and affects the effect of integrated speakers on the back. Fortunately, the whole machine support is very beautiful. It can be clearly seen from the back that there is a power button on the lower right side of the back, which is convenient for turning on and off.

The material for the back of the Kukai 50A2 is very solid, and the process is excellent. There is no burr, the opening is accurate, and the expansion is complete; In addition to the conventional interfaces, there are two USB3.0 interfaces, three HDMI high-definition interfaces, and multi device connections. A coaxial audio output interface is specially designed to meet the needs of audio equipment. It also supports 128GBTF card expansion, which is located on the left side of the back of the TV and is protected by a white silicone cover.

The logo of "coocaa/JBL" is more prominent in front and behind. JBL is like a northern beggar in the Wulin in the audio region, and the sky in Britain is like the Southern Emperor. Danish treasure is just like Wang Chongyang. Obviously, this time, Cookai has carried out in-depth cooperation with it. I believe it has a good performance in the audio part, and the author will conduct a detailed evaluation later.

According to the author's actual measurement, the thinnest part of Kukai 50A2 is only less than 0.44in, which is equivalent to 11.20mm when converted into mm; The thinnest part of the frame is only about 12.5mm thick. It completely conforms to the standard of narrow frame ultra-thin smart TV.

The design of the remote control is appropriate and simple, and 12 buttons are enough to adapt to any scenario. The overall appearance is also quite low-key, and the logo of coocaa is quite eye-catching. That's all for the details of the product. I'm very satisfied with the appearance details of this product. Both the workmanship and details reflect the exquisite technology.

Kukai 5.2 system:

When it comes to the Kukai 5.2 system, perhaps the users who contact the TV box are accustomed to the era of software direct installation. However, with the requirements of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, the APP applications in the USB flash disk have been blocked on the new generation of TV products. So if we want to watch online live broadcast, we must first enable TV sets to be equipped with live broadcast APP. Especially in the era of European Cup, live broadcast is indispensable.

Just as the so-called upstream countermeasures and downstream policies, there are multiple ways to let Kukai TV install the external APP at night. The author uses Wukong remote controller for push installation, which saves time and labor. If the mobile phone searches well and the APP is pushed directly, it can be automatically installed. Is there anything better for the author?

The first step to enter the system is to receive two years of iQIYI members. From then on, we will live in an era of no advertising and watching new films at will. This is a real benefit. After receiving the membership, we can be unbridled in the Kukai 5.2 system.

After becoming a member, those paid programs can be watched for free. Anyway, the money is cool. We just enjoy it. How about fluency? The combination of the dual A72 cores of the Mstar 6A938 and the dual A53 cores of the Kukai 50A2, as well as the storage hardware of the 2G RAM, is a top configuration. In the actual experience, the remote control does not support Bluetooth, but only supports infrared, resulting in a relatively low score in the overall control. However, one code for one code, the smoothness of the actual system experience is still unknown. However, it is not convenient to test the fluency of more games because there is no game controller. However, you can feel the strength of Kukai 50A2 through the playback of 4K video.

The Kukai 5.2 system is a relatively mature system, which has all the functions that smart phones should have. It has in-depth cooperation with iQIYI and shares film and television resources. The maturity of the Kukai 5.2 system is also very limited, with rich parameter adjustment and the addition of intelligent modules. Users can easily and quickly find the corresponding functions. The Kukai system has built-in film and television, education, shopping malls, games Music, application circle, travel and brand cover all aspects of your family life.

Display effect:

Of course, the most important screen for TV is this screen. So Kukai A2 HiFi large content TV adopts 4K UHD panel, adopts 4K resolution, supports HDR and DN image noise reduction technology, makes colors and scene brightness more beautiful, and supports MEMC frame rate compensation technology. What is the actual performance? Let's feel it through some tests;

First of all, the light leakage test showed that the performance of the Cookai 50A2 was perfect without any light leakage.

The residual image inspection items also performed very well, and there was no obvious residual image jitter.

Saturation test, overall performance is also good.

In the signal jitter test, there is no obvious jitter, and the performance is still good.

In terms of color representation, we use i1 Display Pro. They performed well in various tests. Please refer to the following table for the analysis results of various values;

In the evenness test, Kukai 50A2 also performed well in the packing list, which was within the normal range. Refer to the following table for detailed values.

Through a simple test, the performance of the 50 inch 4K screen of the Kukai 50A2 is very good. Now let's take some test photos to feel it.

Through a series of tests, the results show that the color of the screen is accurate, there is no perceptible light leakage, and the resolution and dark details are clear enough. 4K video runs smoothly, and the picture is clear without smear. The side view also retains a lot of brightness. There is nothing to say on this screen honestly. It's really in line with expectations.

Talk about voice:

First of all, let's praise that iQIYI's video resource library is really rich. We found a lot of HD movie sources at the concert site, and coordinated with JBL's carefully adjusted sound. It felt great. There was a feeling of bristling after hearing some details on the scene; The built-in sound box of Kukai 50A2 is jointly built with JBL, which is a rare A-level certified TV built-in sound at a high price; You should know that there is a strict rating system in Harman JBL. Level A is the supreme certification of TV audio, with the proportion not exceeding 1%. It also won the title of the first HiFi TV.

We all know about the strength of JBL. Many high-end home stereos come from him. It is also the leader of high-end audio. This time, the elements of JBL are added to realize the industry's first balanced double bass radiator; It is jointly designed by Kukai and Harman, and adopts JBL original design from hardware and sound cavity design. The bass effect is enhanced through air movement, and the four bass radiators enhance the bass at the same time. Three frequency division design with distinct layers, 2 silk film tweeters, 2 rubidium magnet subwoofers and 4 bass radiators. At the same time, the design of the high pitched front is a change from the design of other TV products that violate the acoustic law of rushing down or backward, greatly improving the sound quality.

It is also unambiguous on the music chip, equipped with the latest HIFI power amplifier chip TAS5766, with pure sound effect and no noise. Integrate DTS sound effect processing technology; Perfect multi-channel decoding playback, enjoy high-quality surround sound, and create a more spatial and enveloping surround sound environment from multiple dimensions of width and depth.

In fact, under the premise of strong hardware configuration, the sound has been greatly improved, with loud voice and no noise and broken sound; The sound field is large enough and the resolution is good. Low frequency has a slightly hindered effect due to the integrated combination, and its performance is average. However, the performance of intermediate frequency is more prominent, with mellow sound, good sound thickness and density, moderate brightness at high frequency, and good penetration; To build a sound system that should not be integrated into TV products, the cooperation between Kukai 50A2 and JBL is definitely worth it. At least, the author believes that the audio effect of this product has been achieved for a long time. I believe that the audio of this product has reached a very high level for ordinary users. You should know that the volume is only 40, and the house with a small area of 80 square meters has been shocked to death. I believe that even a 160 ㎡ room can give you a live music experience.

Energy consumption:

Power off energy consumption;

Test the real-time energy consumption of the product in two situations. First, the power consumption in standby mode is only 0.6 watts; The energy consumption is about 10 watts in standby mode. When the high-definition video playback volume is turned to 35, the energy consumption is far lower than the nominal 110W, only about 65W. In terms of energy saving, the energy consumption is very satisfactory after adding a pair of JBL thousand yuan audio Charge2+.

Summary:

advantage:

1.4K ultra clear, bringing shocking visual enjoyment;

2. Powerful configuration, easy operation and storage at 4K resolution.

3. Ultra thin body, narrow frame design, red dot grand prize, industrial design team design;

4. Real HiFi TV, enjoying audio in person;

5. Kukai 5.2 system is rich in content and smooth.

Insufficient:

1. The remote control is not connected via Bluetooth, and the control flexibility is not enough;

2. Keyboard screenshots are not supported;

The display effect and audio effect of the Kukai 50A2 are shocking to the author, so the last thing I care about is after-sales. After all, I was unhappy when I bought a product at a certain place because of after-sales problems. It is learned that Kukai is a brand owned by Skyworth, with 4950 service outlets all over the country, providing strong service support for Kukai; The most important thing is to respond within 2 hours within the support time limit and timely after-sales. It's quite reassuring.

In nearly two weeks' experience of the product, some netizens said that the WiFi connection speed was slow, and the author did not feel slow in the actual experience. Of course, it would naturally take a few seconds after the shutdown and restart. If the "screen off standby" is turned on in the setting, there would be no complaints anymore, so this is a misunderstanding. Back to the product discussion, the author was impressed by both the pleasing display effect and the shocking audio effect. If you, like the author, are struggling with an all-around smart TV product, the Kukai 50A2 is believed to be a good choice in terms of hardware configuration and appearance design; At least this product has good quality in balance.
