Watch F55, challenge the price butcher, and create a 4K TV with content and attitude



In recent years, with the diversification of family audio-visual entertainment, the TV which used to occupy the dominant position has been gradually squeezed into an awkward position. Mobile AV has a mobile tablet, and at home Many people gradually begin to think that TV sets have become a dispensable household appliance product. In addition, intelligent projectors have sprung up in the past two years, and the price is really low. Compared with TV sets with smaller screen sizes, projectors with large screens and convenient prices are obviously more attractive. As a result, in order to maintain their market share, major brand TV manufacturers also began to reduce prices and promote sales. Xiaomi, known as the "price butcher", was stunned to drop the price of TV sets from high to the price of cabbage. Not only has the price dropped, but also the size has kept rising. Two years ago, 42 inch was the mainstream, and now it is 55 and 60. As a result, many people have turned their eyes back to TV. TV still has many incomparable advantages compared with the projector, the largest competitor at present. For example, TVs are basically 4K now, while most home projectors are still in the 720P stage. If you want 4K, you can't think of it. Moreover, TV can be viewed casually during the day and at night, while most of the current projections can only be enjoyed at night, which is just a decoration during the day. In addition, TV is more convenient than projection in terms of operability. Basically, the elderly and children can use it, and it can be seen at any time in the living room. Projection is more or less troublesome, and users need to have some digital knowledge.
As far as television is concerned, it is divided into two camps: traditional brands and emerging online brands. Although many traditional brands started their careers in television, the production process of television is no longer a "secret recipe", and there is no technical bottleneck for new brands. Therefore, as a TV, the two factors that can really attract consumers are price and experience. The price factor goes without saying, Xiaomi is already the best example. And experience? It seems that emerging brands pay more attention to users' feelings.
Today, I want to introduce to you an Internet TV that focuses on entry-level 4K experience - Watching Shangshang 4K Super TV F55. Some people may not know about this brand. However, if I say the word "CIBN", I think everyone should be familiar with it! CIBN, China International Radio and Television Network, is one of the seven major licensees of the network at present, and is a number of well-known brands Provide content support. Friends who like to use online video APP will surely notice that the original very famous“ ”, Youku, etc. are now cooperating with CIBN on content. Watching Shang TV is the hardware product of CIBN's intelligent terminal brand "CAN".



▼ The manufacturer used SF Express to deliver the goods this time. It was really a big box when it was delivered to the company. Fortunately, the rear seat of my car has a lot of space after being put down. Otherwise, I don't know how to transport it home. However, the manufacturer may have sent the TV directly from the outer packing box because of the transportation cost, while the TV I bought on the Internet was put on a wooden frame. Comparatively speaking, it is safer. It must be such a large screen. If it is broken, it will be really bad.

▼ The main body and base of this Kanshang Super Power TV are packaged separately, and it seems that the base is optional when selling, not a standard component. The whole package feels "big". The unpacking of the TV is relatively simple. Open the front and rear four white buckles to remove the outer package directly.

▼ The bottom of the F55 looks silver, and the base design uses the shape of Tai Chi Pisces. Although I don't know what Tai Chi Pisces is, the base looks stable, and it must be supported by a 55 inch big guy.

▼ The installation between the base and the TV is very simple. Just connect the holes of the TV and the base and tighten four screws.

▼ Kanshang F55 adopts LG's original 55 inch real 4K IPS hard screen, 7.9mm narrow frame design, which is more fashionable than traditional TV.

▼ Because of the special design of the base, the TV is relatively stable, but because the body is too large, it is still a little unsafe when shaking the top of the body, so I also remind you to try to avoid touching the TV in daily use.

▼ Watching the brand logo of Shang TV - CAN

▼ The power indicator on the left side of the TV is red in standby and blue in operation. It is worth mentioning that the brightness is a little too high in red or blue, which is a bit harsh in the dark, and will unconsciously distract the audience when watching TV. Therefore, it is better to use a mild light source.

▼ Some relevant parameter identifications of Kanshang F55 are pasted on the top of the TV.

▼ The overall appearance design of F55 has nothing to show for it. It belongs to the standard one, which is very similar to the traditional TV production several years ago, and does not quite meet the current fashion standards of Internet TV. All switch keys and various interfaces are designed on the back of the TV.

▼ Look at the list of F55 interfaces:

  • USB 2.0*1      USB3.0*1

  • SD card slot * 1

  • Antenna/cable TV interface

  • Three in one video input interface

  • HDMI HD interface * 3, one of which is HDMI (ARC) interface( Note: HDMI-ARC (Audio Return Channel) function is used for TV digital audio output, which can be connected and also supported Function and other audio devices.)

  • SPDIF coaxial interface * 1

  • VGA computer input connector * 1

  • Audio input interface (group) * 1

  • Component input interface (group) * 1

  • 100M network interface * 1



▼ A five dimensional navigation key is designed on the back. Although it feels ordinary, it is still enough for emergency.

▼ As a 55 inch TV, the overall body of the F55 is still relatively thin, measured at about 1.7cm.

▼ Kanshang F55 uses two 8W speakers, which are designed at the bottom of the TV. The audio system uses CVS Liyin technology, which can get a clearer audio effect in daily use. Watching TV is absolutely enough at ordinary times. However, if you want to pursue a better listening experience, it is recommended to use an additional power amplifier speaker.

▼ As an emerging brand, although it is said that the F55 is an entry-level However, we still need to strengthen the quality control of the product. Although there is no problem with the TV in general, if we look carefully, we really do not do a good job in some details, such as large gaps at the corners and some serious exposure.

▼ The accompanying accessories are also relatively simple, including 1 infrared remote controller, 1 power cord, 1 three in one video input cable, 1 cable TV adapter, and 2 No. 7 batteries.


▼ When the TV is turned on, there will be a few seconds of advertising time. I thought it was fixed, but I changed it a few days later. Compared with others As far as I am concerned, the startup speed is a little slow. If I had to read this advertisement every time I start up, I would be worried! So if you can customize the boot animation and put it on the warm moments of parents and children, is it much better.
Look, the system UI of Shangshang F55 adopts Android 5.0 in-depth customization Blueshadow Compared with other TV systems, the main interface of F55 is more like the interface of video APP, which is divided into seven menus: "signal source", "recommendation", "classification", "broadcast", "entertainment", "application" and "settings". Many televisions are independent systems, and the video APP is independent. The F55 is more like the integration of the system and video APP.

▼ The classification of online videos is also very detailed. Because it is the reason of the regular army, the member area is indispensable. Only in this way can it be distinguished from the "miscellaneous army".

▼ Watching TV relies on big trees to enjoy the cool. Relying on the unique advantages of CIBN Internet integrated broadcast control and content service platform, it can provide a large number of legitimate online film and television resources. In addition to its own CIBN platform, it can also share resources with Youku, Tencent, Sohu and other video platforms.


▼ You can really watch a large number of movies and TV programs at your heart. Even if you watch them all the time, you should watch them for more than ten years.

▼ After registration and login, it may be the official activity at present, and members who have been sent for three months. Personally, I don't like this membership fee model, but everyone's needs are different, so there must be many people willing to pay for genuine resources.

▼ In the member zone, I thought it would be some newer or exclusive movies and TV plays, but it is not. I haven't seen any recent movies, and many of them are available on other free platforms. So I am curious. Do the officials want to use these resources to attract users to pay?

▼ In addition to the "member cinema", there are also "4K zone" and "Happy Posthouse" in the member zone. Relatively speaking, the film definition here is higher than that of the general.

▼ For the "rotating broadcast", some users may not understand what it is. Generally speaking, it is a state of simulated live broadcast. Each channel combines some movies and TV plays and plays them in chronological order, giving users a feeling of watching live broadcast, but it is actually not interesting.

▼ In the "Entertainment" column, you are actually watching TV , can provide some games and software downloads for TV platforms.

▼ However, the software resources in the built-in application center are not rich, especially the video APP. As long as it is a platform that does not cooperate with CIBN, you cannot download it here. So I personally recommend installing a professional TV software market, such as Dangbei Market.

▼ As Kanshang F55 Super TV supports Bluetooth 4.0, we can connect the Bluetooth game controller when playing games, which can bring better experience.


▼ For example, this horizontal version of the fight game "Bad Guys Must Die" can be played with a handle or a remote control. The handle is more participatory, while the remote control is simpler. The most suitable game to play with the remote control is to fight landlords or play mahjong. It's better to kill time.


▼ I remember that some traditional Internet computers do not allow you to install third-party software, and the system has made restrictions on them, greatly restricting the scalability of IPTV. Kanshang TV can install any software at will, either through the built-in market or through a USB flash drive. All installed APPs will appear in the "Application" column.

▼ It is impossible to uninstall a certain software on the main interface. It can only be done through the secondary menu of application management. I hope the official can further simplify the operation steps.

▼ In the last "Settings" column, we can make some general settings for TV, but here, there are many repetitive menus, such as "My Subscription", "Personal Center" and "Message Center". In fact, they all point to the same big interface, so it is unnecessary to divide them into three parts. The "System Settings" also includes "Network Settings", which is the recurrence of basic functions.

▼ In "General Settings", we can select the startup item after startup according to the actual situation. For example, if you often watch digital TV, you can select "TV"; If you are a young person who only likes watching on-demand TV instead of watching live TV, you can choose "Home". In addition, you can also choose the default definition of online video according to the network situation at home.

▼ In the "System Settings", in addition to some conventional settings, the "wireless display" function of TV is also hidden here. Generally speaking, most of the "wireless display" functions of the platform exist as an independent APP, while in the "Watching TV", it seems to be integrated into the system.

▼ With this function, we can put music, pictures and videos from mobile phones or tablets on the big screen to share with our families.

▼ If I want to talk about the network, the only thing I'm not satisfied with is that F55 does not support 5G band network signals. As a new product, it should not be.

▼ Seeshang F55 Super TV adopts Android 5.0 operating system, four core A53 64 bit processor, four core Mali450 GPU, 2GB running memory and 8G storage. At present, this configuration is at a medium level. It has scored 27119 points through the Anthare evaluation software, which can meet the needs of daily video and entertainment. I'm afraid it will be impossible for 3D large-scale games.

▼ For large size TV, the most expensive component is the LCD screen, which basically accounts for more than half of the total value of the TV. The quality of the 55 inch genuine 4K IPS hard screen produced by LG is guaranteed, so how about its display effect? I evaluated it through software testing and screen shooting. First, the "TV screen detection" APP was used for "bad spot detection", "light leak detection", "color test", "grayscale test" and "shadow test". Finally, the TV screen scored 80 points, mainly because the screen had problems in light leakage. I actually mentioned it when opening the box in the front, and quality control needs to be strengthened.

▼ Through the professional color performance and visual angle test chart, it can be seen that F55 is very smooth in color transition, and the visual angle is also very large, which is close to the official 178 degree wide angle of view.


▼ 4K TV resolution test.

▼ Zoom in to see that it really reaches the real 4K standard, and the actual viewing effect is better than the photo.

▼ Put some samples of 4K photos for actual shooting, which may be more persuasive.






▼ In the local high-definition video test, I first selected Anthare video evaluation software for the test. 27 of the 30 video samples passed the test perfectly, and only 3 were stuck. This result can be said to be very good. At present, many mainstream TV boxes in the market are still below this level.


▼ It seems that the F55 Media Center is relatively simple, with only "music", "video" and "picture". The experience is not good in the use process, because the files read by the system are arranged irregularly, and it takes a long time to find a specific file.

▼ However, its file management function is relatively intuitive, which can correctly identify each partition of the mobile hard disk.

▼ Through testing nearly 50 samples of different types, it can be seen that F55 can play most HD formats, but some formats are not supported, such as m2ts, f4v, evo and other uncommon video formats. In addition, some 4K movies with bit rates higher than 100Mbps cannot be played. In addition, original disk files in ISO format are not supported. Although it can use third-party software to play soft solutions, I will not say more here. It will be a bit out of the evaluation range of TV itself.


▼ It is seen that F55 supports video playback of H.265 encoding, but a small number of films may not be supported.

▼ To be honest, the video player software built in F55 is not very comfortable to use, and the interface is not friendly. There is a certain probability of misoperation in the actual operation process. In addition, it does not support the direct dragging of progress bar, and the fast forward and fast backward mode is obviously outdated. As for the "play at selected time" function, it provides some convenience more or less.

▼ In addition, F55 supports the switching between subtitles and audio tracks. However, compared with menus, I prefer to use the shortcut keys on the remote control directly. Unfortunately, it does not support this. However, such a large remote control ignores some commonly used functions, which is really inappropriate. In addition, it is a pity that such a large 4K TV does not support 3D function.



▼ Although watching the F55 Super TV is a 4K, online TV, we can't ignore its job, that is, TV function. I have used several Internet TVs before. Although the network function is good, it also makes people very depressed. That is, when you want to switch from online to wired, you need to hold the remote control for half a day. If it is operated by parents, you may be very angry. The F55 remote control uses a full key infrared remote control. Although it is incompatible with most current simplified remote controls, it also has its advantages. For example, it can quickly switch input sources, whether it is network, computer HDMI、 TV can be switched by one button, which is very convenient.

▼ If it is accessed by multiple signal sources, you can also select and switch by pressing the "signal source" button.

▼ In addition, TV related settings need to be set in TV, HDMI or computer mode, and cannot be called out in network mode. Here we can set the image, sound, and automatic switch on/off.

▼ For digital and analog signals, automatic channel search is convenient.


▼ The power of F55 super power TV in standby mode is 0 watt per hour, which is very power saving.

▼ In the default state, the power is about 110 watts per hour, 0.11 kilowatt hours, 2.64 kilowatt hours, which is really very energy-saving. And if you turn down the backlight brightness, the power consumption will be lower!

▼ In terms of temperature, after two hours of normal operation of the TV, the ambient temperature is about 28 degrees, the maximum temperature of the front LCD screen is about 47 degrees at the lower left corner of the screen, and most other places are about 30 degrees.

▼ The appearance that the maximum temperature on the back of the fuselage is 40 degrees indicates that the heat dissipation capacity of F55 is relatively ideal.



The F55 Superpower TV, as an entry-level 4K TV, sells for less than 3000 yuan. A few days ago, Jingdong Dashu seemed to be around 2500 yuan. This price really hit the bottom line of the industry. The original 55 inch genuine 4K IPS hard screen of LG is very ideal in actual performance, no matter in terms of color, grayscale, contrast, or response time. However, the official should strengthen the quality control management of the product and put the details in place. As a content platform, CIBN is still not up to the ideal goal of "being the latest, fastest, and most", but it is outstanding among many online platforms, and its film and television resources can meet the needs of most users, not to mention Youku, Tencent, and Sohu. During the one week experience, CANTV Blue shadow The UI interaction system is relatively user-friendly. If you can optimize some repetitive menus and add custom functions, it will perform better.
