The high temperature in Chongqing has been on the hot search several times recently. I really don’t dare to go out in this weather. In addition, it’s not safe outside, so I can only stay at home and play. But you can’t play with your mobile phone every day, so even if you can stand the phone, my cervical spine can’t stand it.
It doesn’t feel right when I always look at the monitor. I feel that my home is deserted. At this time, it would be great if there is a large-screen device that can be the core of home audio and video entertainment. I can easily work and entertain on this device without switching devices everywhere. Isn't this talking about TV? However, the response speed, screen refresh rate, resolution, and compatibility with various devices are all problems.
Although these requirements are very different from the main selling points of traditional TV, as more and more young people become mainstream purchasing groups, these needs have also become mainstream. We pursue high-quality panels, faster screen response speed, high flash and high resolution, and can plug in various devices, such as hosts, game consoles, and can adapt to mobile phone screen projection requirements. And as young people in the electronics era, we also know electronic products better and are less likely to be fooled by offline merchants.
In response to these requirements, in April this year, TCL launched the Electric Blue丨T7E. T7E met my requirements for TV. At that time, we experienced the 98-inch version for everyone. Many friends were exclaiming that they were too big and couldn't put it at home, and some friends wanted to add partition backlight.
TCL I heard that everyone wants to have a partition backlight, and I heard that everyone wants me to experience a TV that is more suitable for ordinary people. So I got the TCL T7G that I just released. It mainly adds partitioned backlight to the popular T7E. In order to be closer to life, we experienced the 75-inch specification this time, which is more suitable for ordinary families.
Why choose the 75-inch specification this time is actually related to our placement environment. According to my usual TV habits, if you follow some data, choose 65 inches if the viewing distance is above 2 meters, choose 75 inches if the viewing distance is above 2.5 meters, 85 inches if the viewing distance is above 3.5 meters, and 98 inches if the viewing distance is above 3.5 meters. Of course, this data is not particularly scientific, but I personally think that this angle and size are more comfortable to match, but the specific situation still needs to be felt by everyone to know.
is easy to install, with a simple appearance
when it was first delivered, the guy said we asked us to make an appointment to install it. Because there is no TV wall and no installation method is required, we can start to experience it by doing it ourselves, screwing the screws on and installing the bracket. If you are not very convenient, or need installation services, you can also contact TCL to make an appointment for installation services, which is quite convenient. Including after-sales, because the channels of old brands are relatively complete, you can easily contact after-sales personnel to help you solve various problems during use.
TCL T7G has a very simple appearance, the whole machine is very thin, the all-metal body, and a particularly narrow matte textured metal frame. It looks like a Blade Warrior if you give a little light. The color of the metal bracket is the same as the body, and the sense of integration is particularly strong. The screen-to-body ratio is very high, and the bezels are almost negligible. Only the chin is very narrow, so I can only put down the TCL logo. The power interface is integrated on the backplane of
. On the other side are two USB-A interfaces and three HDMI interfaces. It also includes an RJ45 network cable interface and the bottom-most audio output interface. One of them is an HDMI interface that supports 4K 144Hz input, and the other two are interfaces that support 4K 60Hz input.
There are several round interfaces that everyone doesn't know very well, such as antenna input, video input and left and right channels. This is used by the original antenna pot lid or some old-fashioned DVD machines at home, and the compatibility is quite good. Almost all the positions on the lower part of the back plate are covered by the heat dissipation grille. Some friends must have an impression that they were secretly watching TV at home when they were young, and their parents went home to touch the temperature of the TV's butt.The remote control of
T7G looks very round, and there are fewer buttons above. More importantly, we hope that we can call out TCL's artificial intelligence small T. We can directly wake up the small T through the remote control or through far-field voice. Even the elderly and children at home can easily learn how to operate the TV, and just exhale Xiao T if you want to watch.
1000 nit +100-level partition, the screen color is vivid
Our 75-inch version of T7G is considered a relatively mainstream TV size, and the panel natively supports 4K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. In the 4K resolution test, the text, patterns and lines are very clear and sharp in all aspects.
also performed very well in the test of visual angle and color. The color was too natural. The screen was adjusted to blue and red. The whole color was very positive, and there were no bad spots on the screen, and the quality control was also very OK.
78-degree visual angle allows every family member sitting in front of the TV to see the same picture. It should be good if a company buys it as a conference room TV. A small and medium-sized conference room with this one can see clearly when talking about PPT or playing videos.
The brightness of the screen is very uniform. For example, in the color test just now, in addition to the positive color of the panel, the brightness is also particularly uniform. The biggest upgrade of T7G this time is the level 100-level light control partition. How to understand the light control partition? It means dividing the TV panel into hundreds of areas, and then each area independently controls the brightness. At this time, the Q picture quality engine equipped with T7G is needed to control these hundreds of areas.
So what are the benefits of this? Compared with the entire backlight, the more backlight partitions are, the brightness control of each small piece of picture will be more refined, which will be more restored when displaying high-contrast pictures. Due to the improvements in lenses and lamp beads, the peak brightness of T7G has reached 1,000 nits, compared with some of its competitors, it has a crushing advantage of hundreds of nits. Even at a super large viewing angle of 178 degrees, it does not make people feel that there are too many differences in the pictures of each angle.
In addition to the 100-level light control and 1,000 nits of brightness, it also has an ultra-high contrast ratio of up to one million to one, as well as support for HDR1000. There are also 1 billion colors, 130% wide color gamut and professional-grade color accuracy with ΔE less than 0.99. This proves that it not only has quite good hardware qualities, but also has been carefully tuned. Some of its parameters are even comparable to professional-grade monitors.
For this reason, we specially played HDR videos and specially selected some high-contrast scenes to show them to everyone. Like the black field processing of the picture, it almost achieved a pure black effect. The things displayed in the picture seem to be as vivid as before you. You should know that this is not an OLED screen, and it is really good to achieve this effect. In addition, T7G has also passed Dolby certification and IMAX Enhanced, so you can watch blockbusters at home.
Although this screen is good, we have to avoid staring at the screen for a long time. When watching TV for a long time, you must turn on the eye protection mode. The T7G that has passed the Rhine Low Blu-ray certification will have obvious changes and the picture will become softer.
Real 4K 144Hz panel, open up the full channel of high-brush
In fact, in terms of publicity, T7G does not have an advantage, and friendly companies are waving the flag and shouting that we are 240Hz, while T7G is only 144Hz, which seems to be more than twice the difference. The reason is actually very simple. I only ate one bowl of noodles, why are there two bowls of noodles? Simply put, T7G 4K 144Hz has so many hard parameters for the screen, and the so-called 240Hz is used to turn 120Hz into 240Hz through algorithms. The more commonly used technologies include DLG and HSR. In layman's terms, it is to reduce the image quality to improve the frame rate . If you are interested, you can learn more about it.
and what's going on with T7G's full channel high-flashing? First of all, let’s not talk about algorithm high brushing, but what joints do you need to open for real hard high brushing? First of all, the native refresh rate of this panel needs to support high refresh rate. If the 60Hz panel needs to reach 120Hz, you need to think of some methods, such as some practices in the previous paragraph, the specific effect is of course worse than the native one. The T7G panel is native 144Hz high-flash, and does not need to rely on algorithms to achieve it. After the
panel is supported, the processor must also support 4K 144Hz screen output, which involves how much maximum resolution and maximum refresh rate screen output can be supported by the processor's decoding capability. T7G is equipped with the MT9652 Plus chip from MediaTek . MediaTek is also the number one player in the TV chip industry, and many flagship products use MT9652. But this is a custom chip with plus, which supports higher 144Hz signal decoding processing.
and the interface end. Some manufacturers are very surprised. The processor and panel have finally supported high-resolution high-resolution. As a result, the displays that the interface specification is too low and cannot be supported. At most, you can only use a USB flash drive or content on the Internet. Some of the interfaces adopted by friendly companies are HDMI2.0, with a transmission rate of only 18Gbps. According to simple calculations, we can know that the bandwidth of 4K 144Hz is much higher than the HDMI2.0 standard.
So don’t underestimate the several HDMI interfaces on the back of the body. This may be a hard threshold for restricting your high-brush entertainment. High-refresh games also require VRR variable refresh rate and ALLM automatic low-latency technology. The support of these two technologies also allows the TV to enjoy it as well as e-sports monitor , without any screen tear or excessive delay.
Give everyone a feel for our game effects. In racing games, high-speed brushing is really necessary. There are constant changes of light and darkness in the scene, and light and shadow conversion, such as sometimes the water puddles on the roadside or the sunlight in the distance. The shadow contrast in the picture has a strong sense of impact, and the game is very immersive. Especially when playing with the handle, the experience is very good. If you have strong financial resources and even install a simulated cockpit with such a large high-reflash screen, the experience will be better.
In shooting games, using the big screen of T7G is simply cheating. I can easily put the enemy into the cross of scope . It is also easier to observe the enemy's position in the large screen. With the 144Hz high-refresh large screen, it is difficult not to win.
There is also a very popular game in the 5G era - cloud game . Traditional games require a lot of money to purchase equipment, but some players do not have the financial resources or such heavy demands. Cloud games are a good choice. After all, I can’t buy a console worth thousands of dollars just to play once or twice a day. TCL and the game tycoon Tencent set up a joint laboratory to allow us to experience the new gameplay of the next era.
Because of dual-band WiFi, I feel that the game delay is very low. I think non-heavy players are enough. If they are severe players, they should have bought equipment a long time ago. Moreover, the potential of cloud gaming is unlimited. Maybe we will no longer have to buy expensive graphics cards in the future. Just connect to the Internet to play cloud gaming.
light flagship configuration, large memory dual-channel
Of course, the TV is not only a picture, but also a good sound. The 75-inch version of T7G has built-in 4-unit audio, supports 2.0 channels, and the audio power is 30W. First of all, the sound field is quite loud and I dare not make it louder. Secondly, the sound is also full, both high and middle bass. If you are a very picky audience, the 85-inch version supports 2.1 channels and has 5-unit 60W speakers, you have to try it out.
also comes with its own 4+64 memory storage combination. In combination with the MT9652 Plus processor mentioned in the previous article, the configuration is indeed higher than that of the competitors. Whether it is the choice of this processor, 4G running memory and 64G storage space, there is the space to download various software and the space needed to run it.These are all hardware thresholds that really affect the speed of TVs.
At the same time, in order to adapt to the different needs of each group of people, the system UI is also very simple. The content you want to see is directly presented in the main position of the page, without too many complex secondary menus, and the buttons that need to be adjusted for young people are placed in menu positions that are not easily misoperated by the elderly and children.
Summary
There are many types of TV products on the market, and the differences between different TV products target and different uses are not obvious. Moreover, the configuration transparency of some products is not high, or the publicity is inaccurate. TCL's T7G boldly exposes the translucent areas of these industries, and upgrades closer to user needs through more transparent configurations in order to further the young people's market.
By upgrading the original good products, it integrates more functions and uses good steel in aspects such as high-resolution hardware, high-score, and a hundred-level light control, etc. Basically, we have gotten to the point that young people value more, focusing on highlighting that this large screen is not just a traditional content sending function, but can interact more with young people and become a family large-screen audio and video entertainment center for young people.
