As an established Internet video platform, PPTV accounted for 60% of the Internet video broadcast market in 2013. It is a rare network video platform in China. In the first three days of National Day 2015, PPTV carried PPTV-55T and PPTV-43P. Into the domestic smoke-filled Internet TV market in one fell swoop, trying to break the smart TV market that has long been LeTV's monopoly TV monopoly, as a flagship model of PPTV in the 55-inch, whether it is the appearance of work, screen rendering, audio amplifier, Or operating experience, PPTV-55T from the moment of birth was crowned with "Royal King" proud title!
What exactly is a product that can be self-reliant with a "55-inch machine"? First look at a set of PPTV-55T product parameters:

Outer packaging: wooden frame, safe and secure
PPTV-55T home theater version comes standard with Soundbar, using a wooden frame around the way to ensure better protection of the product in the logistics and transportation process is not bumped, PPTV TV + Soundbar two really big is not small.
The outer packagings are all made of white cardboard, printed on the front with a PPTV TV and soundbar appearance renderings, simple atmosphere, from the perspective of packaging, television and stereo are black tone style.
PPTV close-up: metal texture, simple and not simple
PPTV-55T follows the PPTV-55P design style, and the design has been added to the mainstream of the current ultra-narrow frame design elements, with a border screen size of 714 mm1234 mm, 55-inch large screen in the actual living room is very large, plus the pole Narrow frame display effect, very visual impact.
The narrowest part of the top of the frame is only 5.8mm, which further enhances the “borderless†visual effect. At the same time, the metal frame uses an anodized aluminum sandblasting process, which enhances the gloss effect and highlights the metal texture. It is extremely high. Aesthetics.
The metal side frame adopts CNC drilling process, while the side metal surface is treated with brushed texture. PPTV inherits the “Bauhaus†design concept and uses pure geometric elements to deduce the symmetry style. No matter from which angle, PPTV-55T is As if it were totally natural, the CNC drilling process at the edge of the frame highlights the beauty in the sun.
Only PPTV metal brushed LOGO on the front of the panel, the originality is PPTV breathing lamp and LOGO fusion together, in the switch machine process, even more cool technology.
And LeTV TV X55 Pro design style is similar, PPTV has a USB port on the top of the TV, users can more easily in the daily use process, connect the top of the smart camera, U disk, mobile hard disk and other equipment, rich hardware for smart TV Extensibility has increased a lot of convenience. If you need video functions or connect body-sensing devices, you don't have to worry about cluttering the cables behind the TV.
In order to better reflect the thinness of the PPTV fuselage panel, the author took a one-dollar coin for comparison.
The backplane of the fuselage adopts a gradient texture design element. The central LOGO of the panel adopts a bumpy design. At the same time, in order to better increase the wear resistance, the PPTV uses a wear-resistant anti-slip material on the backboard, and the overall backplane design style is very simple. The two rows are linear heat sinks, the left lower corner has a square control button area and power sockets, and the lower right corner is an L-shaped geometric element, which unifies all functions to expand the interface and is neat and tidy.
The middle of the square control button area is the direction of twisting and twisting, the quadrangular shape has the home button, power supply, return, etc., the overall feel of the button is moderate, and there is no occurrence of hard buttons, etc., which shows that the PPTV is at the details of the work.
In terms of power plugs, the PPTV adopts a front-in-line type, while the plugs have been made with thin improvements that will not affect the distance between the wall and the TV panel.
L-type function socket area, PPTV on the side with three SD card slot, USB2.0, USB3.0 socket, followed by a network port, HDMI2, HDMI2.01, VGA, RF input, three-color AV input. One HDMI interface supports 60Hz decoding, perfect support for 4K video, while the addition of USB3.0 also enriches the data transmission performance, the fastest transmission speed up to 5Gbps, PPTV does not forget support for the old interface mode, RF input and AV input interface Support has greatly facilitated the needs of people of different ages.
The socket on the bottom of the back of the camera is a dedicated pin socket for the Soundbar, which is connected through the Soundbar dedicated data cable.
PPTV also uses a geometric symmetry design style in supporting feet. Compared to TV support feet in other markets, PPTV can be said to be sincere and full, with a heavy support foot texture in hand, and no longer need to be used like other brands of TVs. The body is unstable and worried.
Body screws, PPTV use a common cross-shaped screws, while at the same time when the standard comes with an additional bonus, visible manufacturers carefully.
Remote control, the author takes PPTV and music as two remote control to do the contrast, the overall appearance of the remote control is not the same size, the same are the use of black elements, with better dirt resistance, more unconventional is that PPTV in the remote control There is a unique "shopping" button, which shows that PPTV will open up the video and shopping links in the future and enhance the online shopping experience for users.
The PPTV remote control uses a button battery design for the built-in battery. This is a point that I do not agree with. Although the remote control can be made thinner and lighter, it will sacrifice the convenience of the user to replace the battery to a great extent. On the contrary, I prefer the battery design or built-in lithium battery design, it will be more convenient.
Soundbar close-up
Soundbar bar audio on both sides of the metal wire drawing processing, one side for the LOGO bump design, one side for the cross-shaped button area, respectively, power button, Bluetooth button, volume increase and decrease, and XXXX
Soundbar audio surface treatment with anodized aluminum sandblasting technology has greatly improved the appearance and texture.
The sound design of the two sides of the audio bar is designed to match the integrated design of the bar sound and the TV host. The user can push the bar sound into the fuselage frame iron bar and fix it according to the requirements.
The relevant parameters are printed on the side of the sound bar. The model number is PT355, rated power is 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 0.5A, rated power is 40W, and Bluetooth connection is also supported.
From the soundbar back interface, it can be said to be very rich, not only supports OPT, COA, To TV digital DTG interface, but also supports audio interfaces such as AUX, there is a very practical point is that SoundBar can support Bluetooth 4.0, compared to Bluetooth 3.0 The mode has better device compatibility, signal transmission stability, and can also have better power saving advantages.
PPTV wood subwoofer uses 16mm-32mm high-density MDF MDF material, sound chamber volume of 9L, compared to metal audio, wood sound has a higher density and better sound quality power amplifier effect, this material is both Can effectively put an end to resonance and box standing wave, but also can reduce the distortion caused by vibration.
For stand-alone audio systems, PPTV is also equipped with an audio remote control, a variety of sound effects and volume control buttons readily available, usually users can also use the entire audio and other equipment according to their own needs
Soundbar exclusive audio cable, 8-pin design style, you can easily connect the TV and the bar audio.
PPOS Cross Interactive System UI
After the PPTV is turned on for the first time, you only need to connect to the wireless network according to the system prompts. After registering to log in to the member account, you can automatically obtain a one-year free PPTV VIP status.
In terms of operating system, PPTV adopts the PPOS cross interactive system based on Android 4.4 in-depth development. Compared with the general-purpose interactive or artificial interface in the market, PPOS's unique cross navigation and three-level interface structure design Appears to stand out from the crowd, the entire interactive interface is more concise and intuitive, not only can bring a better smooth operation experience, but also to facilitate the user to see through the simple operation you want to see the content, without fancy and tedious card-like elements, PPOS cross navigation The interactive system is more conducive to people of different ages.
Content sources, PPTV and CIBN Internet content providers, providing a large number of film and television sources, but also docking PPTV's own channel content, 3,000 copyright movies, more than 100,000 episodes of television dramas, 80% of domestic and foreign variety shows, 20,000 sets of copyright anime , Free gift for 1 year free members can enjoy free advertising, the latest film source broadcast privileges. With the combination of PPTV+CIBN and content sources, it is believed that they will send out more capabilities.
PPOS's three-level interactive structure, the user choose to enter the corresponding film source in the cross navigation interface, you can directly see the movie, television drama, variety and other different types of film source, if you need to search for the source, the letter is also a sort of font design Style, more intuitive and convenient to choose.
In terms of pre-installed apps, the PPOS built-in system appears to be very pure compared to other smart TVs on the market. It only has three applications, namely the application market, game center, and Suning Tesco TV.
Through the special remote control shopping key, you can open Suning's e-shopping software with one click. Users can easily shop on the TV and poke in the pain points of the handicraftsmen.
In the picture preview interface, PPOS adopts a 43-square-round card design style, and the number of pictures and the current number of pictures are displayed in the upper right corner, which is clean and intuitive.
The media center interface differs from other UIs in that it does not have application-type viewing capabilities. It can only see videos, pictures, music, USB flash drives, and shared devices. In response to SARFT's request, PPOS has built-in third-party apks. The application installation function also shields various types of video apps at the built-in application center. No matter whether the live or on-demand type apps can't be searched at the built-in application center, I try to put the apk application on the U disk directly. Installation, the results show that PPOS will automatically block apk format file, unable to install third-party applications.
Third-party application installation: The author also spent a lot of thought, rely on Dudang tried a variety of ways, and ultimately through the U disk installation crack file, smooth installation on the sofa butler (http://).
Screen display effect
4K landscape effect:
Thanks to PPTV's use of LG's original 4 color 4K hard screen, in the landscape, people, animals and plants display effect, the picture quality is very delicate, up to 3840X2160 ultra-clear resolution is very natural in the space to restore, layered prominent, plus On the PPTV's unique 4-color display program, making the scenery scene display, richer colors, wider color gamut, 4 color 4K screen compared to the traditional 4K screen, based on RGB three color pixels on the basis of the addition of white sub-pixel , In order to form a WRGB array, the display effect of different scenes on the screen, making the color more abundant, better light transmittance.
In TV backlighting, PPTV TV adopts Skyworth's unique backlight design, 4K professional panel, high-quality light guide plate, professional backplane, and exquisite craft frame all adopt bottom-side backlight module, which effectively reduces the overall structural weight while providing brightness. More evenly.
4K movie poster:
In the convenient viewing angle, PPTV adopts the current mainstream 178-degree viewing angle design, using the unique liquid crystal molecular level conversion structure of the IPS hard screen, which enhances the color expression on different angles. From the author's actual viewing effect, The 178° ultra-wide viewing angle shows very good results. The fullness and three-dimensionality of the screen are not affected by different angles. It can satisfy the family's needs at the same time.
Screen test
First of all, to test whether PPTV leaks and dead pixels, through the 6-color single-screen display results, the light leakage is difficult to see the naked eye, and there are no dead pixels in the 6-color display, PPTV on the screen selection Still very careful, good quality control.
In the different colors grayscale and gradient test results, PPTV screen color reproduction is very good, natural color transition, high color saturation, red, green and blue color performance is very prominent, relatively strong contrast, bright and beautiful display The effect is more able to give people a feeling of realism.
In the effect of 256 grayscale screen tests, PPTV TV's gray-scale transition and black-and-white conversion are relatively soft, and there is no strong contrast of black and white highlights. From the real shot photos, the interval between shadows of the dark parts is only slightly unknown. The highlights are more eye-catching on the interval between blocks, and the intervals between blocks in different levels are clear.
TV 4K display effect test, the author used the 4K TV test chart prepared by Qian Yuankai to make real shots, from the real shot of the 4K TV resolution test chart, the text display is clear, the line boundary is clear, different color blocks are clearly spaced The tone level of the light and dark areas is an important indicator of the grade of the displayed image. When the 4K TV tone level restoration test chart is displayed, the distribution of different gray levels in the distribution is clearly discernible, the level of the gradient area is gradually uniform, and the middle gray level transition is smooth. Soft, and there is no any ordering and jumping. The detection results of the dark part level and the brightness level can reach 8 and 253 respectively. The level distribution diagram and the sphere diagram should be able to show the levels at all levels, and the transition from black to white is very natural, and the overall effect is ideal.
The security Bunny video test shows that the PPTV video runs around 813 points, and the video support format results in more outstanding results. Under 30 different formats, only two uncommon video formats are not supported, which can fully satisfy everyone's daily needs. Super clear source support.
Evaluation summary:
As a 4K high-end flagship TV, PPTV-55T not only has the unique design concept of "Bauhaus" in terms of appearance and workmanship, but also brings the best of minimalism to full play. The geometric shape is totally symmetrical and beautiful, and it is totally natural. The sense of art and the unconventional development of the “Cross-Interactive†PPOS system have brought a brighter feeling to the public. Both in appearance and in the built-in system UI interface, PPTV has a very high degree of recognition.
