The solution comes:

The comparison test sample involves 17 brands of 4K flat-panel TVs with screen sizes ranging from 48 to 55 inches, and the purchase price ranges from RMB 2599 to RMB 6,499, which basically covers the brand and network of 4K flat-panel TVs in the city.

Each brand sample was tested on 12 items, including 4 basic requirements for appearance, structure, signage, image display format, clarity, re-evaluation rate, horizontal brightness angle of view, brightness (white field brightness and peak brightness), and contrast ratio. , brightness uniformity, color gamut coverage, color brightness and other 8 performance tests.

As there is no national standard for 4K flat-panel TVs at present, in accordance with the relevant national standard "Test methods must be objective, and can provide meaningful and reproducible results" requirements, the City Consumer Association entrusts testing organizations to draw reference standards and propose testing methods. Comparing the standards and bringing the experts to the argumentation and approval of the release of SPBJ JD.1-2015 Super HD Display Comparison Test Implementation Rules (hereinafter referred to as the Rules).

Today, the authority came out! Oven!

First of all science and technology problems:

What does "4K" mean?

Official explanation: 4K TV is the use of 4K resolution TV, 4K resolution refers to the pixel resolution of 4096×2160, which is 4 times the resolution of 2K projectors and high-definition television, belonging to Ultra HD resolution. At this resolution, viewers will be able to see every detail in the picture, every close-up.

In a word: a clearer TV!

The evaluation results are as follows:

Basic requirements: Image display format and industry standard SJ/T The appearance, structure, logo, etc. of the digital TV liquid crystal display general specification requirements. The results of this comparative test show that the test results of the 17 brand TV sets meet the above standards. Claim.

Performance test: mainly refers to the light color performance, which is the main test item to measure the display characteristics of flat-panel TVs. The items involved in this comparative experiment include 8 items such as sharpness, reappearance rate, horizontal brightness viewing angle, brightness (white field brightness and peak brightness), contrast, brightness uniformity, color gamut coverage, and color brightness. (The red line in the figure indicates the required limit)

Sharpness performance is the key performance of a 4K flat-panel TV, which is different from ordinary flat-panel TVs. It refers to the clearness of details of TV images that can be perceived by human eyes. The horizontal or vertical resolution of 4K flat-panel TVs from five brands such as Skyworth, Konka, Changhong, Panda and Philips did not meet the requirements. In particular, the test results of 4K flat-panel TVs with 2 brand names such as Konka and Panda were lower than the test results. Other brand sample results.

Due to the directionality of the screen, the brightness of the image will change with the viewing angle, leading to the problem of viewing angle of the flat-panel TV. The rule requires that the viewing angle of brightness in the horizontal direction of the screen is ≥85°, that is, it can be obtained in a horizontal range of at least 85°. Better image quality. The test results of nine sample 4K flat-panel TVs such as PPTV, TCL, Changhong, Sony, Haier, LG, Sanyo, Philips and Xiaomi failed to meet the requirements.

Brightness refers to the brightness of the picture, and higher brightness can enhance the picture performance and viewing effect of the television to a certain extent. The Philips brand 4K flat-panel TV is slightly below the required limit.
Contrast is the gradient of the screen display from black to white. The larger the ratio, the more gradient levels from black to white, and the richer the color performance. Panda, Changhong and other brands of 4K flat-panel TVs have lower sample contrast detection indicators.
Brightness uniformity refers to the difference in brightness between the center of the television screen and the edge image. The test results of the brightness uniformity of the 4K flat TV set of Skyworth brand failed to meet the regulatory requirements.
Color gamut coverage refers to the percentage of the total visible spectrum area of ​​the uniform color space in the gamut area of ​​the display device. The increase of the color gamut area can not only make the entire TV picture look more real, transparent and layered, but also the clarity of the picture will be greatly improved with the richness of color. Samples of 4K flat-panel TVs from five brands such as Skyworth, Konka, Changhong, Sony, and Panda failed to meet the requirements for the detection of color gamut coverage. In particular, Panda’s 4K flat-panel TVs have a wide gap between the requirements.
Color brightness refers to the brightness or brightness of a color. It is one of the three elements of color. The relationship between the color level and space mainly depends on the contrast of the brightness of the color. The test results of the color brightness of 4K flat-panel TVs from five brands such as Konka, Changhong, Panda, Pioneer and Philips failed to meet the requirements.
