Did you see the rack on the wall? That is the old nest of a TV. Before talking about new television, it is necessary to talk about old television.
When a TV was bought a few years ago, young and frivolous, the poison of the home appliance forum became a parameter party. When Sharp was adventurous, it took 10,000 yuan to buy back a 46-inch LED TV known as the original Japanese panel. At that time, it was not the most basic parameters such as the screen size, but what kind of direct-type or metered LED backlight structure and so on. As a result, for a viewing distance of nearly 4 meters, from the moment the TV was hung on the wall, I discovered it was small and buried my seed in my heart.
Careful attention to picture quality has also led to neglect of peripheral functions. When it was actually used, it was discovered that there was no network (that is, no DLNA), limitation of USB playback format (still unable to drive the mobile hard disk, requirements on the disk format, etc.), poor sound effects, and so on, far better than the better picture The quality is frustrating. Especially the suppression of sound effects, even watching TV, is very difficult to satisfy, let alone watch movies. As a last resort, I moved back from the parents' home to the floor-standing speakers they purchased when they were young and frivolous. This Kenwood audio system twenty years ago is more than enough to watch a movie everyday.
Some people say that the most important thing about TV is the quality of the picture. I do not refute this view. The radish cabbage has its own love. Under the screens that we watch daily, whether it is broadcast, downloaded movies, or millet boxes, I don't think I can play the charm of high-definition television. My relatives spent five or six thousand dollars and bought a 46-inch Sony LCD TV. I was paralyzed and not worse than Sharp, which I bought for 10,000 yuan. It may be my eyelid, but at least for me, I won't have to spend a lot of money in exchange for a slight improvement in the quality of the picture.
Everyone's needs are different, so I don’t want to convince others. I just recommend that everyone look at their dependence on television. The experience of the past few years proves that I don't watch TV very much. I parked the radio and television set-top box and had poor picture quality, high fees, and many advertisements. The old TV is also occasionally connecting the computer and watching a movie. When the old man came to see me, I paid a radio and television subscription fee for one month. Therefore, the Sharp was hung on the wall for several years. I am afraid that it will not be enough for two months. Appliances with very low usage rates do not have to be bought very well.
4K, 3D I do not need, after popularizing me and then change the TV, so the goal is locked Sony (SONY) KDL-60W600B. One day encountered this TV promotion, quickly broke the news on smzdm, Xiao Bian decisively. Xiao Bian said that the KDL-60W600B is the offline version of the KDL-60WM15B. There is no difference between the two, and the KDL-60WM15B has already been broken. Since the KDL-60WM15B is cheaper, I can only choose it. Out of interest in TV, I didn't even bother to go to the store and wait for the sales order.
Some time ago, Jingdong’s Jingdong 6000-800 voucher was issued. The result may be geographical restrictions. On September 22, promotion coupons cannot be used on the day of promotion. Thanks to the valuable news, Yi Xun also has 6000-800 coupons to collect. Tried a local availability, decisive orders, paid 6099 yuan. Diving occurred later. This is no way. As technology changes with each passing day, television will only become cheaper and cheaper.
The manufacturer of KDL-60WM15B is Shanghai Sogo, and the manufacturing date is July 2014. The specification and KDL-60W600B are the same. I personally think that there is no need to care too much about the difference between KDL-60W600B and KDL-60WM15B. Anyway, I did not see the difference for a long time. People who must purchase this TV are not too harsh on TV. Cheap is king.
The standby status of this TV is obviously different from that of Sharp. First of all, after Sharp turns off with the body switch, the remote control cannot be turned on, and Sony can. Sharp's regular start-up speed is slow (optionally speed up), and Sony's regular startup speed is very fast, not to mention the accelerated start mode (consuming more energy). Sharp's backlight can automatically adjust the brightness, this feature is very practical, and Sony does not care about energy consumption.
There was such a small advertisement on the box. I found it on Taobao. The price was amazing. I still wait patiently for my CITIC wool (you know).
Installation and delivery
The relationship between JD.com and Yixun does not need to say much. TV is actually delivered by JD.com. Jingdong came to two couriers and sent the TV directly to the home. The appearance of the packing box is in good condition, and the home appliance distribution in the local warehouse is satisfactory.
I found Sony's after-sales service center not far from Sony's official website. The other party replied that 300 yuan (including the original rack cost) was installed on the wall. It is free to install the base without wall. I said that Jingdong informed the wall that it was 270 yuan. Sony said that the 2014 TV was changed to 300 yuan. I am not ok.
Sony's installation master is very good. After coming, he said that he should use the original rack as much as possible to save me extra money. I have seen the backs of Sharp and Sony TV. It is totally different from what Sony's after-sales service center said. The customer service sister said that Sony's rack is dedicated and we must buy our original factory rack. The installation master said that my old TV was definitely installed by Suning or Gome, because the rack is not a Sharp original rack. I realized that Suning and Gome's home-installation of TVs is like "cutting off the Huhu", setting aside the installation services of the manufacturers and earning their own racks and labor costs.
The installation master patiently tuned all the stations and also taught how to use the television. Actually, I feel that you are hurrying to go. I think about it myself. It's not just a television. I'm not an elderly person. As a result, the installation master finally put a remote control into my hand and let me practice it. I don't know what to do with the remote control. How do you say that I can practice with a TV? I suggest that Sony install the master to bring the test paper and give the user a test of the teaching results. The above is purely a joke and my heart is still very satisfied with the installation of Sony.
experience feelings
The boot speed is very fast, but after watching TV, there is no problem. The APP is unable to run immediately. You will be prompted to wait. It should be the background operating system that is starting slowly.
The first time the opportunity was prompted to connect to the network, and then software updates were made (in less than a month, it was updated twice), just like the rhythm of the millet box.
Remote control is much better than Sharp, at least it looks high-end. In fact, Sony also has an optional remote control that can be touch-operated, presumably greatly improving the ease of typing and APP operating experience.
Although this TV does not have a built-in CAM card slot, it has digital TV reception. I tried it. The more than 200 stations I found were almost all encrypted. Only a few TV stations did not encrypt, such as Phoenix Satellite TV and Phoenix Information. In addition, six channels of analog signals can be found. It is very satisfying for me to be able to watch the Central, Phoenix, and local channels without using a wide set-top box.
To emphasize, the KDL-60WM15B has no CAM card slot and cannot be inserted into a radio and television card. It cannot replace a set-top box to directly receive digital TV signals. The effect of receiving digital TV directly is much better than using a set-top box. As far as broadcasting and television are concerned, I can no longer afford to tell.
The aircraft's interface is relatively rich, and four HDMI interfaces can meet the growing number of peripheral devices. One of the HDMI interfaces supports ARC audio backhaul. You can use HDMI cable to transfer audio back to an external audio device, such as a sound bar. One HDMI interface supports MHL protocol (which can also charge connected devices). Unfortunately, I do not support MHL at hand. The portable device of the agreement cannot be tested; an HDMI interface supports DVI, but the adapter needs to be purchased separately. This function should not be needed by many people. The two USB 2.0 interfaces are very practical, their power can directly drive the mobile hard disk (when my WD My Passport 1TB mobile hard disk can be used normally), and the exFAT disk format is also not a problem. And the supported video formats are also more comprehensive. I tested the MKV and AVI videos downloaded on the Internet and played them normally. There was no problem with playing 1080P MP4 videos generated by iMovie. WIFI supports IEEE802.11a/b/g/n, but unfortunately does not support ac protocol, but there is no obstacle to playing network resources in the 802.11n 300M environment. For homes that are inconvenient to use WIFI, the aircraft also has a 100M wired network interface available. The presence of optical audio ports facilitates the connection of external audio devices, such as the Philips sound bar that CITIC brings to everyone (I just suspect that this bar can be much stronger than the TV's own speakers). The common AV analog input, component input, headphone jack (support subwoofer output) and other common ports are also available, do not worry about the connection of the old peripheral devices.
I wanted to connect my Macbook directly with an HDMI cable. I found out that the HDMI of the notebook video card did not transmit audio signals, or did I have to wait for my voice to watch the movie. For the MacBook, which is accustomed to the Retina display, the picture quality of 1080P is really rough, but it is not obvious from far away. At least OSX normal text can be seen clearly.
The only problem is that I use the millet box, whether it is Apple's Airplay or common DLNA have no problem, and this TV is not found any shared LAN folder, does not support Apple's Airplay, slightly inconvenient. According to the TV's own app, it should be possible to access video, photo albums, and music on the local area network. It may be a matter of where I set up (the machine supports DLNA).
Nearly 4 meters of viewing distance, in fact, just 60 inches is just right, home appliances have to pursue the principle of buying big and not buying ah. Please ignore the cable below the TV. My TV wall has no openings. Overall, I don't trim the edges. The TV wall is just a thin gypsum board with wallpaper. In addition to saying that money is spent on the way to travel on thousands of miles (when reading thousands of books, I dare not say it), I urge you not to spit on the layout of my home.
TV has built-in software such as Baidu Music, Domi Music, and an App Store. However, many softwares have no practical significance on televisions, such as Baidu maps that cannot be located (TVs do not have GPS), Sina Weibo, who has difficulty typing, and so on. As for the screen sharing function of wireless sharing smart phone display, it is not supported by Apple. Infant's treasure function can check the baby in the bedroom in real time. The specific method is to install a software on the smart phone, you can use the phone as a webcam and display the picture captured by the phone on the TV. There is no additional investment. However, BabySki looks like only an Android APP and doesn't support iOS. Well, I recoup no additional investment.
The main interface of Baidu's music is all black, and there are always people who are worried about the light leakage of the TV. The day-to-day use does not feel any leakage of light.
For a TV at this price point, Sony's sound is really good, at least people can hear clearly, the volume is also large enough. For users who only watch TV, the sound bar is not needed. Under the TV, there are such two small speaker openings. The sound quality is really much stronger than my old TV. Sony is good at applying a messy "technology" and only boasts ClearAudio+, Signal To Sound, and BASS Reflex Box Speaker.
The white pages at night, to see that the white is not uniform (I do not know whether it is the inherent defects of direct-type LED backlight), but I still feel that does not affect the daily viewing.
The TV comes with a tasteless browser. I have nothing to say about this because it is meaningless to me.
This TV gave me the greatest relief. It is built-in Hua Digital TV software. When the sister comes to her home, she no longer needs to watch iPad "Where is Daddy Going II" on the iPad. The TV can be ordered on-demand and the definition is very good.
Compared with the millet box 2, the millet box is richer in program sources and free of charge. Some of China TV's program sources are charged (mainly movies, so the impact is not significant). Fortunately, monthly prices are not expensive, but it is not necessary. Millet APP fluency, ease of use, etc. are all to win the number of TV APP, and I have encountered a pause in the number of TV in China after the prompt prompts the network to stop the need to exit the prompt (hope that this BUG can be updated at the next solved). Millet Box and Hua Digital TV are very smooth under the condition of 10M Unicom Network (802.11n 300M Wifi). The former occasionally experienced Caton during the peak playing time of a program. The latter also has this problem (such as a new variety show (Online weekend evening). Happily, the sound quality of China TV is great, and watching a music show with a millet box sounds a clear lack of code.
The first night when the new TV was launched, the sister saw the night. Working on weekdays was busy and accumulated a bunch of variety entertainment programs that needed to be digested, where the father was going, happy camps and the like. The number of TVs built into this TV is something I didn't think of. This feature is very useful for my home without a wide set-top box.
As a TV, providing good picture quality is my job? According to the convention of Sony Dafa, the first is the heap terminology: This machine is equipped with fast image processing engine PRO, frame light control adjustment, Motionflow XR400 (only 60 inch model), the actual perception is very satisfactory, no feeling than the so-called "Japanese original panel" Sharp is not as good as it is. Each person's judgment on the quality of the image is subjective, and I personally believe that the quality of this TV is not a problem for everyday use.
From Sharp to Sony, the vast majority are positive changes, but there are also places where less than the old TV, the most important is Sharp's intelligent light control. In our lives, the iPhone, iPad, iMac, and MacBook silently adjust the brightness of the backlight automatically according to the brightness of the surrounding environment, as did the previous Sharp TV. Unfortunately, this Sony is not able to automatically turn down the brightness at night.
to sum up
advantage:
High cost performance.
Sound effect is good.
Built-in Chinese TV.
USB is very practical.
The speed of boot is fast, and the speed of changing is fast (if someone has used the TV with boot speed and slow speed, I understand what I mean).
The picture quality is satisfactory.
Disadvantages:
There is no automatic backlight brightness.
Accessing shared resources within the LAN is not as easy as using a millet box.
Does not support Airplay.
Touch remote control needs to be purchased separately.
The fluency of using various types of APP is obviously less than that of the millet box.
If someone asked me to recommend a cost-effective 60-inch TV, I think this TV should be worth buying. If you need 3D capabilities, buy the KDL-60W850B. If you think that 55-inch can also be, KDL-55W950B and KDL-55W800B more cost-effective. In the area of ​​consumer imaging, Sony Dafa is still commendable.
