How hard is the "hard" factory "soft"? Changhong 60G3 4k TV test experience

This is an era of the Internet. This is an era of content. This is an era that can be won without hardware.

How many programs and how many contents are becoming an important basis for television purchases is also a basis for the initiation of boxes and TVs. Changhong, which is not known for its content, will show off a combination of soft and hard TV.

shape:

The characteristic of the 60G3 is thin and light, and the whole TV looks very light, and the combination of black frame and rose gold base seems to be very consistent with the current popular aesthetic feeling.

Changhong's big logo is embedded in the base below, although this style is relatively simple, but the role of the brand is still very obvious.

There is almost no opening in the bottom frame, the only opening is the power indicator light at the bottom of the right side . This maintains a fairly complete consistency of the bottom frame. It is quite good for visual experience.


The bottom of the base and seems to follow the idea of ​​a consistent and simple design, the base left and right, respectively, with only two metal brackets fixed. The bracket is fixed on the back with two screws. This structure can still provide a relatively strong degree of support.

The thinness of the frame is characteristic of 60G3 , and the extreme thin frame provides aesthetics of visual angle on the side, but it is quite visually aesthetic.

The thickness of the frame is approximately 16.4mm , and it is a small size in the television.

The connector continues the simple style of today's TVs, and the connectors provided take care of all aspects of demand. Equipped with USB2.02 , one of which was not photographed on the top. A USB3.0, a network interface, two HDMI, there is substantially an RF TV input terminal. USB can be recognized by plug and play in the android system, and the mouse and keyboard can also be identified and used normally in the system.


Worthy of praise is the HDMI 2.0 interface , so this 4K TV can already transmit 4k@60fps video via HDMI . This is good news for students who want to pick up computers.

The other side is all the control buttons on the TV.

The remote controller is also a popular and simple style. The buttons on the panel are basically set in accordance with the operating system of the TV. There are no tedious numeric buttons.


The remote controller works with the system and can also perform voice control. When you are not very comfortable with remote control, switching to voice may be a good idea.


Content and system:

The screen resolution of the 60G3 is, the standard 4k resolution , and is also equipped with an android system television, which has a high degree of richness in system content.

The content of the network is mainly from Tencent and Warner. The contents of these media are basically integrated into 60G3 . As long as there are networks, they can see quite a lot of content.

In terms of content, some of the newer content has also been included in the TV's own program list. For example, in July last year, it took the comedians together to appear in the current content recommendation.

Apart from TV-on-demand content, cooperation in games is also a collaboration with Tencent Games, where many TV-optimized games can be found.

The open features of the android system also provide convenience for software expansion. In addition to the native applications that come with the system, the system does not limit extensibility, and you can still use apk to install the system. We installed a chrome browser for us to browse the internet and do some data search. In actual use, there is no problem other than typing, which is slightly more troublesome.

 

Color and performance:

A great feature of the 60G3 is that it can support HDR content display. HDR is also regarded as a feature of current TVs. Although HDR now requires televisions and content to work together, we can start with the built-in TV. A little bit about dynamic range adjustment.


When the dynamic depth of field was turned on, the ratio of brightness and darkness of the TV set had a relatively significant improvement. The blackness of the embankment in the 4k film maintained a relatively dark tone when the dynamic depth of field was turned on, and the blue reflection on the river also appeared The chromophore is more intense. The highlight of cherry blossoms is brighter than the dynamic depth of field. For the performance of distant peaks, the dynamic depth of field shows better color details than the closed ones when the contrast is enhanced - the outline of the mountain is clearer.

The TV's own sample display is quite good in the TV. The color saturation and sharpness are quite good. The contrast between green and red is obvious and the border is clear.

4k resolution shows its power when playing 4k video. The screen performance is quite good. Mainly in the dark and some light and dark contrasts have a greater expression. However, there seems to be a slight loss in cherry pink expression.

From our test on the computer, we can also find that the color gamut of the 60G3 is SRGB 92% . This score is moderate on the monitor, and the situation we can see when we just observed the image is also the opposite color on the red end. There will be a missing phenomenon. However, this may have something to do with the state of the machine still in the engineering prototype.

The problem of light leakage in the all black state is fairly well controlled.

 

60G3 uses the configuration of ARM Cortex -A53 's 4 core CPU , mali880 MP2 's gpu , with 2GB of memory and 8GB of built-in storage, in the android system, this configuration can already belong to the entry level with, in the television field It is also a mid-range match, in the usual self-application application, there is no phenomenon of stagnation and slow application.

Of course, in the standby state holding power consumption 2GB / 8GB of RAM / ROM will be relatively larger. The consumption of 2GB RAM is about 70%-75% , and the ROM consumption is about 35% .


At this time, if there are obsessive-compulsive disorder students, you can enter the system interface of a key to clean up, to sort out some of the resources. This function is similar to that of some mobile phone owners on android , and can be tried for some users who feel that the system requires Delta.


It is said that now is not the era of selling hardware, although hardware is the basis for the existence of the entire software and content, but if software and content are missing, it will always make people feel shortcomings in this era.


Changhong is not a brand starting with content, but on 60G3, we have seen a significant increase in content. The direct introduction of a large amount of collaborative content can now be said to be no less than the name of smart TV.


In terms of hardware configuration, the appearance of HDMI 2.0 has added a lot of bright spots to this machine - the era of 4k@60Hz transmission with HDMI is coming, and the screen display capability is considered to have its dazzling features. Of course, it is not perfect enough. . But think about its price - 5k price segment, then you can become stronger without more money, why not consider it?
