DolbyVision blesses Thunderbird's first 55-inch TV experience

Among several major domestic TV brands, TCL was one of the later independent internet brands. Until last month, Thunderbird came late. However, as a latecomer, in fact, it also has the advantage of latecomers, especially for TCL, which has a vertical integrated television industry chain from the upstream panel to the downstream complete machine. After familiarizing with the Internet companies’ gameplay, it is natural to It will also do more with less.
The product of this experience is one of the first works of TCL's independent Internet sub-brand "Thunderbird" after its birth, and is also the most important product, 55-inch "Thunderbird I55-UI".

Thunderbird I55-UI features interpretation:
First off the boring parameters of boring, Thunderbird I55 gives the biggest surprise is that this turned out to be an Internet TV that supports Dolby Vision. To know that Dolby Vision makes a very strict definition of the picture quality of the TV, it can significantly improve HDR performance of the TV, reproduce a wide range of brightness and darkness, and also have a direct effect on improving the color and contrast of the picture. So before Dolby Vision usually only appeared in the high-end products of major brands, this time on the Thunderbird I55, which sells for less than 5,000 yuan, except for people's surprise, more should be a surprise.
In addition, the Thunderbird I55 also fully supports the HDR10 and HLG two HDR formats. From the perspective of compatibility with HDR, it is impeccable. As for the 4K screen, the effects of the MEMC motion compensation circuit and the QUHD Turbo image engine will be evaluated after the subsequent test, and will not be repeated here.
In terms of intelligent systems, the Thunderbird I55 also uses the most mainstream solutions in the industry, including the Mstar838A processor, 2GB of memory and 16GB of storage space, and supports 60 frames of 4K hard decoding and Dolby/DTS audio decoding. The system is exclusively developed, based on the FFUI interface of the TCL TV+OS 3.0 kernel, and it features simple and convenient controls.

Thunderbird I55-UI Appearance experience: It is not quite the same Compared with LeTV, Xiaomi and other Internet TVs, the appearance of Thunderbird I55-UI really brings a completely different feeling, especially with a large number of diamond cuts. After the design and the brand-new hollow base, it basically solved the problem of “one machine and one side” of the appearance of Internet TV, and it was highly recognizable.



For example, in the base part with the most recognizable front, the Thunderbird I55-UI uses a newly designed diamond-shaped bracket, which is completely hollowed out. The surface-blasted aerospace aluminum material, in addition to a great texture, is the key to the rich and varied changes. And very transparent visual effects, so that the screen part feels like "floating" in the air in general, that there is a sense of design, but also a good sense of science and technology.



Another example is the border part, which is also a narrow border design. However, the combination of different materials and the design of the diamond-shaped cross section are more rich in design sense and recognition than the borders of single materials used in other internet TVs, and the connection of different materials The tight seams, with no visible screws on the front and back surfaces, represent a very high level of overall craftsmanship.

Followed by the back design. The back of the Thunderbird I55-UI is not as advertised by some Internet brands as using metal materials to increase the "forcing grid". Although the traditional flame-retardant plastic material is still used, the diamond block cutting produces a very good modern industry. Beauty. Followed by the design of a huge invisible trunking, can be all the signal lines, power cords are all incorporated to achieve invisible traces, which are other Internet brands simply do not realize, but practical applications have always troubled the user's practical problems.


Thunderbird I55-UI's remote control uses 14-key Bluetooth design, and is equipped with a voice key, can use voice to control the TV or search for video content, the entire remote control is light and compact, feel comfortable, and almost no learning process can be quickly mastered.
Thunderbird I55-UI quality experience The previous mention of the Thunderbird I55-UI is the biggest highlight is to support Dolby Vision, in fact, with Dolby Vision do not look at other specifications means that the quality of this TV has been enough guarantees. However, Thunderbird I55-UI also supports HDR10/HLG two HDR specifications, but also equipped with MEMC and wide color gamut technology, which is extremely rare on the same price Internet TV.
The Thunderbird I55-UI uses a VA wide viewing angle 4K screen with a dynamic contrast ratio of 120000:1. It is also equipped with QUHD Turbo quality engine (including smarttonemapping, full color reproduction technology, brightness fine control technology), the main color accurate reproduction.






From the actual performance of the Thunderbird I55-UI, its image quality does have a surprising level of color, rich, full brightness dynamic range, and the noise reduction capability of the image engine also has a surprising performance, the picture is refreshing clean. The effect is even better when playing back HDR video.

Thanks to the MEMC circuit, the smoothness of the moving image is also good

In addition, Thunderbird I55-UI is also equipped with a patented hybrid dimming technology, and has anti-blue eye protection mode, and we do not feel obvious fatigue when watching HDR content for a long time. Due to the addition of MEMC motion compensation technology, the fluency of dynamic images is also better, and the smear problem is not obvious.
Thunderbird I55-UI system experience Thunderbird I55-UI uses the FFUI interface based on independent research and development TV + OS 3.0 kernel, the entire system is very simple, the channel bar is set at the bottom, the central main vision is the popular video content pushed, with 14 The remote control of the button can be controlled quickly and almost without any learning, and the operation steps are very few. Unlike some brands' systems, in order to create visually cool effects, it will affect the actual control experience.

The main interface of the system interface is simple, without too many gorgeous elements


System channels support customization, simple and clear classification, high operating efficiency

With regard to video content, Thunderbird has already cooperated with Tencent Video and Youku since its release. Therefore, Thunderbird I55-UI's performance in terms of content can still be reassuring, including all content of Tencent video and global broadcast services, NBA live broadcast, recording and broadcast resources can be seen, and recent hits such as "people's The name, "surgical situation", "selected mind" and so on can all be seen on TV at the first time.




Thunderbird I55-UI voice control function is also relatively easy to use, press the voice button on the remote control directly to the remote control to say the name of the movie you want to see on it, and in addition to movie search playback, its voice function It even supports the control of the TV. For example, if you want to see a film, you want to fast-forward. Just say “jump to the xxxth minute” to the remote control and the system will automatically recognize the meaning of the speech and perform relevant operations. The whole process is very Smooth and natural, the recognition rate is also quite high.






In terms of picture quality, the clarity of online video content is usually affected by the bandwidth, but the Thunderbird I55-UI itself supports H.265 60-frame hardware decoding, and on-demand high-definition content is less bandwidth-dependent (content needs to use H. 265 coding, and this is the general trend.
From the test of several online video content, Thunderbird I55-UI's good image quality foundation really played a significant role in enhancing non-HD content, and conventional definition video would not have any “oil painting” sensation. The bright contrast is clear and the detail reproduction is better. It is not like some Internet TVs playing the HDR banner. It is just a matter of simply changing the contrast of brightness and brightness to make people feel the contrast between the screen and the brightness. It is actually losing a lot of screen details and Make your eyes feel very uncomfortable.

Thunderbird I55-UI hardware configuration for the Mstar838A processor, including the Cortex A53 quad-core 1.7G CPU, and 4 core T820 GPU, 2G DDR3 + 16GB eMMC5.0 fuselage storage, this configuration is currently in the mainstream of Internet TV In the high-end configuration, security Bunny runs around 33,000, and even if it is to deal with large-scale 3D games, there is no obvious performance limitation.


Thunderbird system built-in application store, all kinds of mainstream applications can be found, and due to the openness of the system, users can completely install any desired application through the independent installation of APK, this is also the characteristics of this Internet smart TV, but The specific process will not be repeated here, because the method is very simple.
Thunderbird I55-UI sound quality experience General Internet TV in the sound quality is difficult to achieve satisfactory results, the reason is more complex, in addition to the thickness of the body for the speaker's performance compromise, many times there are cost constraints, technical strength constraints and other reasons .

The Thunderbird I55-UI does not pursue the thickness of the fuselage excessively, so it has the preconditions of making a good voice from the objective reality. The Thunderbird does not waste this inherent advantage. It also uses a lot of sound quality enhancement techniques under the background of the manufacturers' willingness to use it, including the Conchs sound system, which integrates hardware and software, and the inverted box structure. .
From the actual audition situation, the sound of the Thunderbird I55-UI did not disappoint. The details are good and the energy is abundant, especially the overall sound field effect is excellent. It is hard to believe that this is a less than 4,000 yuan. TV level. Even bluntly, it sounds better than some branded split sound bars.
Thunderbird I55-UI experience summary

Although Thunderbird is a new Internet TV brand, we must not treat it as a separate relationship with TCL. As Thunderbird's first work, I55-UI did show us the true strength of TCL, a brand that has accumulated in decades of industry, and the “stability” of the shot: whether it is highly recognizable and craftsmanship. The appearance design with very good appearance and appearance, or the most prominent, HDR quality beyond the pricing level, and unexpected sound effects, these have achieved the core performance of the TV and other Internet TV with the same price Differentiating features.


Material is very thick wall mount


Remote protective cover, details take into account

Finally talk about some of the feelings that Thunderbird I55-UI gave us in other aspects. The Thunderbird I55-UI comes with a very good rack of work materials, free of charge, and rarely seen in other brands. Another example is the remote control, but also very close to a protective cover comes with, even the remote control battery is also installed in the factory, can be used to get it, these also can make people feel the details of Thunderbird user experience And carefully.
In short, the seemingly new Thunderbird is not really a "new" hand. From its first product, it can already see the importance and technical strength of TCL. It is reported that the Thunderbird brand will also shoulder the responsibility of operating all TV user content platforms of TCL. This will also allow Thunderbird TVs that already have a relatively high base of hardware and software to have greater possibilities in the future.
