Have you ever seen a TV equipped with JBL stereo? Kukai 50A2 vs Microwhale Skyworth

Following the launch of home appliance manufacturers Later, the brand under the traditional household appliance giant Skyworth released the "Kukai 50A2" audio TV, which is equipped with Harman Carton JBL Class A audio and 4K screen, a 9.9mm slim body, and a button press to turn into a Bluetooth audio. The rich interfaces are compatible with most external devices at present. In general, having a Cookai 50A2 is equivalent to having a complete living room intelligent center. Next, let's enjoy this TV!


The Kukai 50A2 summarizes the essence of the product with the words "Play with Attitude". As a true 4K TV with a resolution of 3840x2160, it is not only used to watch TV programs, but also emphasizes "Play"!

From 2015 to 2016, various TV brands released a variety of TV products, including Xiaomi, LeTV and Microwhale. As an old brand familiar to ordinary people, Skyworth has also launched a number of smart TV products equipped with "Kukai OS". Since everyone cares about 4K, today we will focus on this 4K screen on Kukai 50A2. Before talking, let's take a look at the design and features of A2.

Compared with several TV sets and remote controls in the box, there is not much difference in the distribution of keys and appearance. Compared with traditional TV sets, Skyworth 50E6CRD on the far right has evolved more than one point, but it is almost "millet design". The difference is that the Bluetooth remote control of Micro Whale and ZIVOO box supports voice control.

To everyone's surprise, the Kukai 50A2 is not equipped with a Bluetooth remote control, but instead uses a traditional infrared remote control. In terms of the control experience, this infrared remote control does not give the author a sense of ease that should have been there. I am used to using Bluetooth and then change back to infrared. The experience of pointing at the receiver to control the TV is really a bit unaccustomed. Fortunately, mobile WiFi can be used for more scene mode operations temporarily, such as gravity sensing, game consoles, flying mice, etc.

The Kukai 50A2 is equipped with a 50 inch 4K screen with a resolution of 3840x2160, which is equivalent to the superposition of four 1080P televisions. The 9.9mm body thickness really brightens consumers' eyes. The viewing angle also remains normal. Next, we will have a series of contrast tests on this screen.

Narrow border design, but the problem of screen black edge is not taken into account. However, they are all within the acceptable range, and can almost be ignored when watching TV normally.

The connection process between the back panel and the front frame does not look very pleasing. To make the TV as thin as possible, the Kukai 50A2 wore a "backless dress", but the author still hopes that "sexy" and "delicate" should be considered.

A2 adopts an integrated TV bracket design, and the alloy material is light and solid. The bracket can be easily installed with 4 left and right screws.

The accompanying kit contains the warranty card of the product manual, a hexagonal screwdriver and a 3.5mm RCA audio and video cable.

The biggest highlight at the bottom of the front is the JBL Dolby audio equipped with the Kukai 50A2. The Bluetooth logo on the left is equipped with two small white indicators. When the Bluetooth device is connected, it will switch to orange. It supports the connection of Bluetooth 4.0 devices with it; The right coocaa and JBL sound signs can refer to the video at the top or taste carefully after starting.


In terms of interface, Kukai 50A2 almost considers all the devices that can be accessed by users in daily use, including two USB 3.0, RF cable TV cable ports, audio input and output, HDMI/MHL HD interfaces, coaxial audio output, and LAN cable network ports.

An expandable TF card slot supporting up to 128GB is hidden in the soft rubber pad below the port, so that the applications and games that can be installed can be stored on the TV as much as possible through the expansion card, which greatly enriches the game fans and application controllers.


The two JBL stereos are very eye-catching. They are jointly designed by Kukai and Harman Carton. It is said that they are the bass radiators only available for JBL stereos above 1000 yuan. The sound field is clearly layered and the bass is clear. A2's SoundBar is equipped with two silk film tweeters, two rubidium magnet subwoofers, and four bass speakers, all of which are original JBL speakers. The SoundBar will be provided if you buy a TV

The back stiffener design is the same as the stiffener on the Xinxiu suitcase. The design has both design sense and practicality. The overall design is remarkable, emphasizing the sexiness of "backless outfit" and its "combination of hardness and softness".

Next, through a series of comparative live photos, we will give you the most realistic picture quality explanation. The test products include: one of Skyworth's early representative works (Skyworth 50E6CRD 1080P), and Micro Whale 4K TV WTV43K1

The Kukai 50A2 uses a Qunzhuang 4K soft screen. From the live picture, it can be clearly seen that the brightness of the micro whale WTV43K1 screen is dim, and the Skyworth 50E6CRD on the upper right is brighter than the Kukai A2.

The 4K definition is compared with the real shot, which is consistent with the picture above. The color of the Kukai 50A2 looks more natural.

In contrast to the grayscale, Skyworth 50E6CRD (1080P) is still brighter than Microwhale and Kukai A2, but the sense of hierarchy and grayscale of Kukai 50A2 are more close to the standard. Although 50E6CRD has the highest brightness, white to gray parts lose details and are overexposed. Relatively, 50A2 grayscale control or color adjustment is better and closer to the standard level.

In terms of color performance, it can be analyzed through several comparative live pictures. The details of the Kukai 50A2 screen shot in the low light environment (no flash) are still rich. Skip the technical terms here, and simply look at the quality of this screen, regardless of any angle, at the middle and high-end level.

Compared with three TV sets, Weijing 43 inch is darker and redder; 50E6CRD brightness is too high and distorted; Kukai 50A2 is just right.

Viewed from a 130 degree visual angle, the 1080P Skyworth 50E6CRD will be more attractive. Both Kukai A2 and Weijing 43 inch are darker, especially A2's brightness drops significantly at this angle.

Test sample sheet 1:

The following figure shows the comparison of the live screenshots of the front definition and color expressiveness of the three televisions; You can easily see the quality of the three TV screens.


Test sample sheet 2:

The following figure shows the definition and color deviation of the three televisions through partial magnification.



Test summary:

Micro whale WTV43K1: slightly red and dark;

Skyworth 50E6CRD: when playing 4K resolution pictures under 1080P, the graininess is obvious, and when watching the pictures closely, the definition is extremely poor;

Skyworth Cookai 50A2: In the above unprocessed pictures, take the last comparison sample. Eyelashes, hairs on the bridge of the nose, hair filaments, etc., we can see that the overall color of A2's screen is relatively in place, but the eyebrow details have a slight sense of smearing, which is basically the same as Micro Whale 43 inch, and the eyebrow details are not well displayed.

Comparison of pure black 4K pictures: in the actual test, the micro whale is slightly brighter, giving the impression that the screen is not completely closed; Kukai 50A2 is slightly blue; On the contrary, Skyworth 50E6CRD is almost completely black.

In part, we will focus on the education center of Kukai. Kukai OS has prepared an independent children's section for children, which is equivalent to parental control of PC. Today, with the rapid development of the Internet, the Internet has become the main threat to the mental health of young people. Kukai values this and separates the children's section, Provide the most healthy and humanized science education and knowledge guidance for children. If you want to close it, you need to input correct calculation results. For children aged 2-8 years old, it is the best thoughtful design!


For the first time ever, Kukai 50A2 has joined the JBL audio system, which has been certified as Grade A by Harman Carton JBL, DTS TruSurround and DOLBY laboratories. Even televisions below 10000 yuan are very rare in the market. TV supports closing the screen to play music as a separate Bluetooth audio; Not only that, 50A2 supports a maximum of 128GB memory card expansion, and it is no longer a dream to install 100 large-scale games at one time. Connect the Bluetooth handle, high-definition camera, Blu ray player, and various digital peripheral hardware. Although the 4K screen equipped with it is provided by "Mass Creation", except for the slightly dim screen brightness in terms of visual angle, the quality of other aspects is close to the standard or high-end screen panels; Equipped with JBL A-level sound system, A2's SoundBar is equipped with JBL's original loudspeakers, 2 silk film tweeters, 2 rubidium magnet subwoofers, and 4 bass speakers. In terms of sound quality, it can absolutely conquer your ears. It is currently available in major e-commerce. You can search the key word "Kukai 50A2" for more product information.

In general, it is enough to have a Kukai 50A2 as the living room multimedia center.
