Smart TV has occupied the most important place in our living room. It has also slowly changed the way we live and play. And access to information.

On May 24, at the strategic launch of the new non-ecological big-screen new value platform, Coolopen officially released a smart TV that features HIFI and “big content” – Coolo 50A2. What will be the experience of the first HiFi smart TV with built-in top JBL Class A speakers? Next, we will provide a comprehensive analysis of the features of Cool 50A2 by the small series of digital first line.

Unpacking:

The outer packing box is a hard paper box. The inside uses foam to wrap. It has a good cushioning effect. It reduces the chance of the television being damaged in the process of transport. The whole packaging design is relatively simple, and the "play attitude" on the packaging is a few. The word is a little bit of meaning. In the end what kind of attitude can a TV play? I still look forward to it.

The accessories are mainly power cords, remote controls (equipped with batteries), and a pair of all-metal tripods. In addition, the tripods need to be installed by themselves. Screws and tools needed for installation are included in the accessories. The entire installation process is very simple.

Exterior:

In this age of painting, the design of the product has become an important reference for people to purchase smart TVs. Metal is the most used material in industrial design in recent years. It has high strength and rich texture. Coocaa 50A2 came from the Red Dot Extreme Award industrial design team design, and in the design of Coocaa 50A2 smart TV, metal has also become the main selection of the design.

We all know that when the smart TV works normally, the temperature at the bottom of the screen will be quite high, and the continuous heat will cause the metal of the screen itself to be deformed. How does the Cool Open 50A2 solve this part of the heat problem?

We can see that at the bottom of the TV screen there is a metal strip that runs through the bottom edge of the TV. The metal strip is covered with holes. Coola 50A2 calls this metal strip a metal front face. The utility model not only facilitates heat dissipation but also reinforces the bottom so that it is not easily deformed, and at the same time, it can prevent dust from entering and can also block moisture vapor and prolong the service life of the television.

Careful friends can already find a "JBL" sound logo on the right side of the metal grid, next to the Cool Logo, which means that the Kukai 50A2 has joined the JBL-certified TV stereo, which is created by Kukai and JBL. The joint research and development of the A-class audio is also the only A-class certified TV built-in audio in addition to the CoolTV T55.

There is a strict rating system within the Harman JBL. Class A is the supreme certification of television audio, with a ratio of no more than 1%. So what kind of sound effects will we have as a JBL A-class Coolo 50A2? Of course, this part of us stay below and continue to go into details.

The matching metal stand is small and exquisite, full of metal texture, can ensure the TV support point is more stable, and add a non-slip mat on the bottom of the stand, in addition to preventing the metal stand from scratching the desktop, it can also guarantee the support of the TV under the smooth desktop. stability.

In other details of the design, slim is people's constant pursuit of TV appearance, compared to the traditional TV in the past, cool open 50A2 only 9.9mm ultra-thin body, and 6.9mm thick one plus phone X is bigger then A little bit, using the gilding process of the border, it is full of metal texture.

The back of the TV uses a rib design, which is exactly the same as the ribs on the Samsonite suitcase. Under the premise of ensuring the thin and light metal back panel, the ribs make him extremely strong. The design of the reinforcing ribs not only ensures the strength of the whole metal backboard, but also has both a sense of design and practicality. In the application of television appearance design and materials, it can be seen that many thoughts have been spent.

In the design of the connection port, we can see that the cool open 50A2 set all the interfaces on the right side of the back of the body, USB3.0 × 2, cable interface × 1, AV input / output × 2, HDMI 2.0 × 3, network port × 1, etc., there is also a hidden TF card interface, support for 128G TF card expansion, and built-in Bluetooth 4.0, dual-band WiFi module, rich expansion interface, fully meet our daily needs.

The two JBL speakers on the back of the Cooca 50A2 are very eye-catching. The A-class audio developed jointly by Cooper and JBL has been designed from the hardware, sound cavity and JBL original design. The sound curve is close to the JBL Thousand Audio Charge 2 (retail price 1399). In the TV industry, it is the first time that the bass radiator is used on the TV stereo, and the bass effect is enhanced by the air motion.

Child mode:

There are too many terror, violence, pornography, and other undesirable content in video programs today. Children's healthy growth has had a very bad influence. Therefore, having a television system tailored to children has become the focus of parents' attention. The kid model customized by Kukai 50A2 is very innovative. Although it is still a card-style operation interface, the content has changed into three sections: “baby loves to watch”, “baby loves to learn” and “baby loves to play”, although it does not advocate Allow children to face the TV screen too much, but allow children to watch video programs, learn knowledge, play games in a specific environment, and leave children with good childhood memories in the process of growing up.

For the switch of the child mode, Coolopen 50A2 is still more creative, only need to calculate a math problem each time you can exit the child mode, which can prevent children from careless mistakes, we do not need to remember the tedious The password, which automatically stops all children's content at 9:00 pm every night, prevents children from having enough sleep time on television programs.

Features feature experience:

HDR used to be used in most mobile phone shooting functions. Today, Coolo 50A2 also fully supports HDR high-motion screens. It automatically raises the brightness of the bright areas through the algorithm, and reduces the brightness in the dark areas. Through the proofs, we can see that it contains the highlights. In part, it retains the details of the shadows and the picture is more realistic.

MEMC motion compensation algorithm is a compensation technology for Kuo Kai 50A2 dynamic performance. It inserts a frame of motion compensation frame between the traditional two-frame images, and the maximum refresh rate can be increased to 120Hz.

From the sample image above, you can see that the motion picture is clearer and smoother than the normal response effect, so as to achieve the effect of removing the afterimage of the previous frame image and improving the dynamic clarity, and reducing the image smear to the human eye Degree. Therefore, watching a wonderful sporting event can eliminate the occurrence of a picture such as jitter and tailing, prevent eye fatigue, and protect the eyesight.

Finally, we must mention the shortcomings of Coocaa 50A2. Although the design of the remote controller is compact, it is not smooth at the seams of the upper and lower panels of the remote control. The workmanship needs to be improved. The sensitivity of the remote controller during use is relatively poor. It will be more convenient to switch to Bluetooth mode and add voice function. In addition, the time required to automatically connect WIFI at startup is about 5 seconds, which is relatively slow. I hope to optimize it in the next system update and improve the experience.

to sum up:

As a family-oriented smart TV, TV content is no longer the only standard for consumers to purchase. In this era where beauty value and experience coexist, TV design, hardware configuration, and audiovisual experience have become people’s choices. The important reference for television. Cool open A2 series HiFi big content TV metal is well applied to the design, it can be said that the value of the product added a lot of value; equipped with a top Mstar 938 chip in the hardware configuration, built-in top JBLA level speakers, rich video resources As well as the children's model, in our opinion the Cool Open 50A2 is no longer just a simple Internet TV, it is more like our home entertainment center.
