Inspired by the tide of science and technology, the development of smart TV is still very strong, especially Internet TV has more soil to survive. The busy city is not as warm as a small house in the home. The living room of a fast-paced development home still needs a decent TV as the eye-catching thing. It is very important to choose TV sets of different sizes according to the size of each living room. There are so many smart TVs. The screen, quality, system, content, cost performance and so on are all factors we must consider when purchasing. What is the difference between the intelligent Internet TV with HD 4K screen and the super performance price ratio of Super TV F55?
Internet smart TV is attracting more and more attention, and most TV sets are an impact on traditional TV. What can be called Internet TV? This time brings the in-depth experience of watching TV CANTV F55. The general direction of evaluation will start from these aspects: appearance, system, performance, screen, experience, etc.
Appearance design - good performance and space expectation
The front design of CANTV is quite in line with the current fashion trend, which is dignified and calm. It is necessary to choose the size of the TV for the size of the respective living room. The living room of the author's home is not large, and the best viewing distance for a 55 inch TV like this is 3-4 meters. The overall black panel material is very familiar to everyone. The black color is durable and atmospheric, and it is also very dirty in daily use.
Whether the TV base is placed horizontally or hung on the wall depends on your own design pattern and preferences. For wall hanging, it is necessary to prepare the TV bracket in advance, and also rely on tools to drill holes and stabilize it.
The whole TV is a relatively large and thin object. You must be careful when moving anything in daily use. The base design of the standard configuration is pretty good, and I really like it. It is much more secure than the normal two corner fixing. The high-quality silver aluminum alloy material is elaborately designed and carefully cast to imitate the Tai Chi Pisces. In fact, it is very heavy. There are also Chinese classical yin and yang, hardness and softness, balance and other philosophical thoughts. The key point is not only to look good, but also to be firm. It is more important and concerned to make the TV monitor firmly rooted on this base.
Nowadays, mobile phones and tablets all emphasize the concept of narrow border and no border. For Internet smart TV, CANTV is also very good at this aspect. The narrow frame of the F55 TV is only 7.99mm, less than 1cm wide, which will make your display more realistic and beautiful. People's pursuit of beautiful things is harsh and rigorous. In fact, you will find that the narrower the border is, the better the effect is, especially with the black panel.
In addition to the narrow edges, the entire F55 body is also relatively thin, and its thickness is about 17mm compared with a coin.
As the main logo of CAN, it is in the middle of the bottom of the TV. The English name is common but eye-catching. It matches well with the base.
The key of the TV is on the left side of the TV body. The light turns blue during daily use and work, and red when it is turned off and standby. The intensity of the light is quite eye-catching.
The standard remote control uses a plastic shell, which is no different from the common remote control in practice. The overall characteristics are ordinary. It feels that the keys are a little stiff in daily use, especially when pressed repeatedly. It also needs two No. 7 batteries, which is not in line with the current smart trend.
For the back of CANTV, the feeling is fairly normal, which is basically the same as the ordinary traditional TV design. However, the details are not perfect, and there are still some flaws. The local areas are not very symmetrical, and obvious differences can be seen.
As a smart TV that is in line with fashion and tradition, it is also very rich in daily interfaces. All the connectors are distributed on the back of the TV to meet your daily needs. Because the storage space of the TV itself is limited, it still supports SD card slot expansion, which makes up for its own shortage. The USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 interface can be used for daily connection of external devices such as USB flash disk and mobile hard disk.
In order to maintain the harmony and beauty of the front, CANTV F55 sets the key on the back of the TV. The key is very small and requires a little force.
Don't worry about it even if you don't have a remote control in your hand. You can still adjust your TV with confidence. This five latitude key can adjust the channel and volume.
High temperature warning in hot summer. People still know how to cool down and dissipate heat. Of course, when designing CANTV, they will also pay attention to the dense and neat heat sinks arranged at the bottom of the TV, which is not easy to find. Especially in this electronic age, the heat dissipation of devices is particularly important. With the daily use of bright screen and high volume, good heat dissipation can make the system stable and smooth, and the life of the TV longer.
In order to ensure the dual experience of audio-visual enjoyment, the sound quality also needs to play a big role in television. There are also two 8W speakers built in the bottom, as well as the unique CVS Liyin technology of CANTV, which makes the sound more authentic and more personal.
Summary: The overall TV still gives people a fresh feeling. Whether it is super narrow edge or narrow frame, the design reflects the rigorous spirit of modern technology. The front design shows a generous and fashionable atmosphere, while the design and details of the back need to be improved. The rich interfaces and unique sound quality reflect the charm of the new smart TV, but the design of the remote control is still a bit outdated. Overall, this 55 inch rookie living room is still in good shape, and we look forward to more surprises in the future.
System experience - easy to use, not rich enough
It seems that Internet smart TV is no longer a novelty. With the cross platform use of the operating system, smart TV has more advantages and playability than traditional TV. CANTV adopts an in-depth optimization system based on Android 5.0, but the overall feeling is that it is relatively simple and not too impressive.
The basic functions are controlled by the up, down, left, right and OK keys of the remote control. The basic page and functions are limited, and plug-ins and other playing methods are not supported. Simple, but easier to use daily. CANTV has created its own unique video content service through cooperation with CIBN.
The whole system displays each module at a glance on the main page, and the content of each module can be judged literally. Among them, "round robin" is more curious. Traditional TV users cannot arrange TV programs according to time. Relying on Internet TV, they can use multiple channels to broadcast circularly within a certain time interval. This is a direct broadcast mode between on-demand and live broadcast.
Everyday movies, TV plays, variety shows and some cinema blockbusters can be seen here. The content service of Internet TV is more and more expected. It is good to see that it can be well integrated and classified and better and timely shared with users.
Now when you open a registered account for the first time, you can get three months of membership services. In this way, you can enjoy a unique vip treatment in the member zone, and watch and enjoy movies at will, especially in the highly anticipated 4K zone, which also contains 41 4K ultra HD movies, and the actual viewing effect is really good.
In addition to the audio-visual enjoyment of TV, entertainment applications can also be expanded, but the resources of this platform are still relatively lacking, and the entertainment tools and games are not perfect.
In addition to the simple remote control that comes with the game, you can also connect the handle for more exciting and fun entertainment games. The Bluetooth handle is a good experience.
The built-in is not ideal. The outside world will help. It is recommended to use the "Dangbei Market", a professional and reputable app store in China. Dangbei has tens of millions of TV installation users, which is also commonly used by individuals. There are many resources with clear classification, and it is easy to use without advertisements.
It seems that not only TV, but also the file manager of Android operating system on mobile phones are very difficult to use, and we look forward to better use. CANTV supports external mounting, which can facilitate internal and external file viewing on a daily basis.
More TV displays and system settings can be easily operated by clicking. Multi frequency interaction is already a necessary function. The mobile phone supports relevant protocols to project the screen on the mobile phone to the TV wirelessly. Such a small screen of several inches has been magnified several times in a twinkling. It's great to listen to music and play TV on TV!
In addition to the broadcast function of traditional TV, the smart TV can quickly switch the input source back and forth so that you can enjoy different highlights. For multi signal access, just click the "signal source" on the remote control to switch the content you want.
However, the "settings" on the remote control cannot be called out in the current network mode after testing, so you should switch by yourself to get the settings of image, sound, time, etc.
Summary: Internet smart TV, with its own operating system, is easier to use and can be used immediately, but the operation and style design are too simple and plain. But thanks to the support of CIBN's powerful video content service, you can enjoy more wonderful videos. After all, TV, as the output of audiovisual, is the focus of ordinary users.
Performance inspection - meet the demand and need to be improved
Smart TV also depends on hardware architecture. CANTV F55 uses a new A5364-bit processor with a main frequency of 1.4GHz. The stronger performance makes the CPU, GPU and VPU all reach 4 cores. Among them, 2GB of memory and 8GB of storage space. To be honest, for today's intelligent development, these hardware can still meet daily needs, but they will definitely need greater expansion in the future.
The running score can also be analyzed from a certain point of view. Anthare TV detected that the running score was more than 25000 points, which was only medium among many TV boxes.
Moreover, through Anthare video detection, it is found that most of the video roots can be played, and only three relatively few audio decoding format files are stuck. On the whole, there is no problem with daily video playback, and you can enjoy it.
In this hot summer, watching TV at home is also a good way to relax. For more than three hours of continuous broadcast, the indoor temperature is about 32 ℃. In addition to the heat dissipation at the top of the TV, the measurement shows that the temperature at the left and right lower corners of the screen is higher and the temperature near the power interface on the back is higher, about 40 ℃. The actual heat dissipation effect is very good overall.
Summary: Although there may be some inaccuracies in these detection software, they can generally reflect some performance indicators of CANTV F55. However, in the daily use process, the TV system performance is very stable and the operation is smooth, and the use of a long time still needs further testing. However, the overall configuration is only moderate, and we expect more progress and improvement in the future.
Focus on screen - 4K era, full display
Good screen praise! This is the first consideration when choosing a TV. The screen is the only way to present the TV picture. CANTV F55 uses LG's original 4K IPS LCD large screen, and the display effect on the 55 inch large screen is really satisfactory. 178 ° wide viewing angle is used for a wide range of visual viewing.
Through the built-in TV screen detection of the system, it has been tested several times. Through a series of indicator detection and analysis, it is estimated that the TV screen score is about 78. Of course, the test results of different people in different environments are different, which cannot be fully believed. But in the state of complete darkness, there will be a little light leakage around the screen.
Through the observation of 4K TV resolution test chart, the overall screen performance is good, delicate and exquisite. Even if the details are observed, they are still clear and distinguishable, and the resolution effect of the visible screen is very good.
By observing the 4K TV color performance and visual angle test chart, you will find that the color is rich, saturated and plump, basically meeting the daily visual effect.
The 4K original picture is compared with the TV display, and the overall color is different, but the effect is good, and the shooting has errors.

Summary: The era of big TV screen 4K has come, and it is just a need to match 4K pictures and videos with ultra-high definition. The actual experience of 4K video does not have a jam buffer phenomenon, but requires high network bandwidth when playing online. High definition and ultra high definition are different, and the experience effect is still very good, both the color hierarchy and the three-dimensional shape are satisfactory.
Looking back on the expectations - the intelligent era and the way forward
In the era of high-tech and intelligent development, traditional TV is hard to attack, and innovative Internet smart TV will flow into more families. Although CANTV is a young brand, from this F55 experience, it feels that the newcomers also have their own unique advantages and charm. At the current price of 2599, they can have this 55 inch 4K ultra clear big TV, integrate CIBN video content services, deeply customize simple and easy-to-use systems, which can not only be used easily by traditional TVs, but also can be touched and innovated in the era of intelligent Internet, This entry-level 4K TV has immortal attention and highlights. The overall in-depth experience has lasted more than a week, and daily needs can be met. Even if there are elders at home, they can easily learn how to operate, perform well and expect more performance in the future. But it is not perfect. Here I put forward my personal opinions:
1. The remote control buttons are a little stiff and do not support voice function; It will be better if it is made of all metal and supports the charging of the built-in battery.
2. The default input method does not support Chinese input, which is a headache.
3. The default video playback does not support double clicking to exit. You must click "Exit Play".
4. Customized setting of background skin is not supported.
5. The video player in the Media Center is really not easy to use. I hope it can be improved.
6. There are few applications and games in the application center, and the resources are not rich enough.
7. It seems that there are many video content databases, but they are still too slow to update, and the latest and hottest blockbusters are still too few.
8. I hope that the back of the TV can be designed more carefully, more refined and more attractive.
