Quantum dot TV TCL Q960C evaluation: ordinary not mediocrity

This year, with the popularity of smart TVs, many TV manufacturers have begun to adopt more innovative technologies in their high-end series, such as OLEDs and QLEDs (Quantum Dot Display), both of which are now common in the market. Screen. As a whole, as the two directions for the future development of television, which of OLED and QLED is more suitable for television is still not a definitive conclusion. Because OLEDs and QLEDs have their own advantages and disadvantages, the advantages of OLEDs are higher contrast and thinner. The disadvantages are short lifetime and high cost. The advantages of QLEDs are longer usable life and higher controllability. The disadvantage is that they are not easy to be thin. The effectiveness of these two screens in the high-end TV is also divided. Manufacturers' choices are also different. LG and SONY insist on OLEDs. Samsung is the main QLED player. We have experienced this before. Today, we have a look at how the domestic QLED TV effect, hope to have a more comprehensive understanding of QLED.

Exterior

As a high-end smart TV, exquisite design and excellent workmanship are indispensable. As mentioned earlier, the TCL Q960C has two versions (65 inches and 55 inches). This time, I received a 55-inch TCL Q960C.

TCL Q960C machine uses a curved surface design, style is rather tough. The front 55-inch large screen with an ultra-narrow frame allows the whole machine to look more “slim” on the look and feel, and the back is a seamless, screwless, all-in-one design.

In the details section, the border of TCL Q960C transitions at a right angle. The border after sandblasting anodizing process looks very texture, and it fits the high-end positioning and image of the product. At the bottom of the front there is a TCL logo. The inverted trapezoidal sound design gives the screen and base a better connection.

The back of the TCL Q960C has a total of 11 interfaces, which are: USB 2.0*1, USB 3.0*1, HDMI*3, and audio video interfaces. In terms of accessories, there is only one remote control and manual, and the functions of the remote control are all available, so we will not go into details one by one. In addition, there is a physical button at the bottom left of the back, which integrates the confirmation key, volume addition and subtraction, and channel addition and subtraction. This setting is convenient for you to operate the TV even if you cannot find the remote control or if the remote control malfunctions.

At the bottom of the TCL Q960C is a sound system designed and certified by the Harman Kardon professional team. The sound uses an independent 4 unit cavity design, and the overall shape is a trapezoid. From the actual experience, the advantage of audio front is that the sound of TV output is more natural and direct.

It is worth mentioning that the Harman Kardon stereo at the bottom of the TCL Q960C also supports the "Bluetooth independent listen alone" technology. After the Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the TV, you can directly use the TCL Q960C's Harman Kardon as a stand-alone speaker. This small feature is also very practical, not only provides more operational possibilities, even a set of audio money is saved.

In general, the appearance of the TCL Q960C is quite good, the integrated body with an ultra-narrow frame and TCL Q960C high-end positioning is consistent, the bottom of the Harman Kardon audio configuration makes the whole machine even more luxurious The curved screen also provides more viewing angles for the TCL Q960C.

Quality

Picture quality is the most important criterion for us to judge a TV. After all, consumers are buying TV to get a better viewing experience. The TCL Q960C screen uses a primary color dot display technology, which is commonly known as the “QLED” screen, and its resolution is 3840*2160 (4K).

QLED stands for Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes, and Quantum Dot is what we call quantum dots. Quantum dot is an inorganic nano-semiconductor crystal. It has a unique feature that its light emission is controllable. We can artificially adjust the purity of color. So compared to OLED screens, QLED screens have better color reproduction. TCL official stated that its color purity is 58.3% higher than that of ordinary LCD TVs, and it is 37.9% higher than that of OLEDs.

In addition, since the QLED is an emissive technology that does not require an extra light source, it also makes its screen life longer than the OLED screen. The TCL official stated that: After testing by an authoritative organization, the color of the quantum dot TV has a durability of up to 60,000 hours, which is twice that of the OLED organic light-emitting television.

In addition, TCL Q960C also joined the Dolby Vision display technology. I am not unfamiliar with the technology of Dolby Vision. There are already a lot of manufacturers introducing this technology in their own high-end products. The best part of Dolby Vision is its detail on the dark part of the picture and the overall color control is in place.

Judging from the actual perception, with the help of quantum dot display technology and Dolby Vision's blessing, we can clearly feel that the TCL Q960C has better control over the detail and color of the dark parts of the picture when playing the movie. The following is a screenshot of the TCL Q960C frame number, you feel it.

performance

For smart TVs, although performance is not a must, it is a bonus item that greatly affects consumer choice. Especially for the flagship product such as the TCL Q960C, the author's requirements for it are very high. Here we look at the performance, TCL Q960C what kind of performance.

Parameters, TCL Q960C is equipped with a quad-core 1.7GHz Aurora MS838 processor, built-Mali-T820 quad-core graphics processor, equipped with 2GB of running memory and 16GB flash charge, although the overall hardware configuration is not the industry's most advanced level , but at least it can also be ranked in the upper middle reaches of the industry.

From the actual experience, TCL Q960C's response speed and application open speed is not bad. In order to further understand the performance, the author also conducted a game experience test on the TCL Q960C. Considering that playing video games on TV is not a necessary item and it is not a very good choice, so I chose a more common light game to play.

In general, in the game experience, TCL Q960C fluency can still be, but because the remote control itself does not support the game operation, it needs to use the phone as a handle operation, which also confirms the aforementioned "playing games with TV Not a necessary item." Overall, performance of the TCL Q960C is still satisfactory.

System & Content

With the television industry entering the era of “smart TV”, the days of quality and technology that were once only in the past are gone forever. Because traditional TV manufacturers now have a certain amount of technology accumulation, and no one company can achieve advanced technology, and in the Internet era, consumers are increasingly demanding content, so content for a smart TV It is an indicator that directly determines the purchasing behavior of consumers. Someone even ridiculed: "As long as you have content, you don't need to be afraid that sales won't go up.

TCL Q960C Quantum Dot Surface TV built-in is based on Android 6.0 custom TV + OS 3.0, the overall UI style tends to flat design.

It is worth mentioning that TCL Q960C also provides a voice interaction system. You need to purchase another interactive camera. Then you can directly wake up the Q960C's artificial intelligence voice assistant "small T." .

In terms of content, TCL uses technical support and content services provided by Galaxy (GITV) and integrates massive video content on multiple platforms. In addition, customized members will also provide movie theaters or NBA content.

The actual experience, TCL Q960C content can fully meet the daily needs, and fans like the author, because had been a member of the previous pit, so it feels to be able to directly watch the NBA in the sports sector is a very extra thing . In addition, if you think its content is still not enough, you can also install third-party applications.

to sum up

The overall experience down, TCL Q960C's overall performance is pretty good, in line with our expectations of it, the price of 6,999 yuan to buy a new flagship product is also very cost-effective.

In addition, after experiencing the TCL Q960C, I feel a deeper understanding of the QLED screen. However, as said at the beginning, which of OLED and QLED is more suitable for TV is still not a final conclusion. In the future, we will continue to monitor the development of the industry and see how the market will choose.
