Purchase experience, twists and turns
The 32-inch Konka LCD TV in the owner’s bedroom has been used for 3 or 4 years. In view of the serious picture quality of the domestic TV, the power supply was bad for one year, and it was not possible to hurt the landlord. And choose from Internet TV. After watching for three months, "Leaked" the X50 Air starting, tangled selection missed 618, but still insisted on free time, pay attention, on the morning of July 9 suddenly saw on the home page "and then cut prices: SONY Sony KDL -48WM15B 48-inch ultra-thin TV (Shun Rui PRO, XR200 times speed) 3499 yuan (3699-200), the landlord is not calm, but unfortunately the points are not enough, special thanks to the value of friends @ ah cattle bar , stretched my hand The price of Gome has been fluctuating. In the morning at 3,699, there were many people who were likely to place orders near noon, and they went up to 3899. In the evening, they were told to drop to 3699, and they were able to start and pay 3,499. In addition, Gome Online should be calling Gome's local warehousing. On the second day, Gome Customer Service will confirm delivery time with me. The fastest delivery time can be confirmed on the next day.
Rack mounting, ordinary racks can be used
The 9cm thickness of the TV and the unique mounting method of the rack is one of the reasons why I have been hesitating or not, because the landlord's TV is hung on the screen in the middle of the room and it is easy to see the side. In contrast, the thickness of TVs of other manufacturers of the same size is controlled at 5-6cm, Samsung is more exaggerated. At that time, Konka bought 32-inch is also fancy it is thin, after installation, the distance from the wall to the outer edge of the TV is 8cm, Sony obviously more than this, Bahrain to 13cm, I guess it may be a relatively large speaker to do thick, if only Like ultra-thin, it is not recommended to buy.
For the sake of the neck, the landlord still considers wall-mounted installation. Before buying, Sony always thought that in order to sell the original pylons, the princess's base was used as a plinth, and it was still spent arranging 300 yuan for the ultra-thin pylons. After all, Taobao only sold 50, but the landlord did not drill tools. And skills. After the installation master arrived at the site to open the box, I realized that the backboard had 4 standard screw holes, and that the 4 screw holes were in the same plane (see the red box above). Happiness. Only the Sony's screw hole is located down, so the master will remove the hanging frame and move it up by a dozen centimeters.
The interface design of this TV is also more reasonable for the landlord. The four HDMI and two USB ports (basket and yellow box) that will be used are not facing the wall.
Some people may ask, will 32-inch rack hanging 48-inch will not support? The landlord must explain that the old TV 8kg, this 10kg. The weight of so much weight hasn't seen any growth. Haha, everyone may think differently. The landlord thinks it shrinks. The landlord and the family feel that the craft has progressed and the development is lighter.
Outside the body: power adapter, remote control
Unlike other manufacturers who integrate the power supply inside the TV, Sony is equipped with an 85W power adapter (so small? There is a power consumption test later). Although it is a trip, it is not as big as the size of the TV, and it can be The power supply with a tie tied behind the TV (upper back plate picture frame), Intel NUC that small box with a large power adapter is really faint pain. There are external benefits of external, power is broken (like Konka 32-inch on the bad) do not have to remove the shell, of course, if the backlight power is broken or have to be removed, because the backlight seems to be using 300V voltage.
The keys of the remote control are very comfortable and feel good. Compared to Changhong Hisense, Konka is always used. The user experience is very important. You should like it.
Power consumption, boot speed
Connected to the power socket for the first time, the TV has not been opened yet, and the power socket jumped to 7W. It may feel like I was "Technology Sony" is really XXX, and the standby power consumption is so terrible. After several trials, I roughly understood the mystery, and it is also the key to achieving a fast boot within 10 seconds. Let me share with you:
(1) When the TV is powered on, the internal chip is started immediately, and the power consumption is about 7W. Pressing the power button at this time starts about 7 seconds. After 5 seconds, it enters the standby mode. It takes only 2 seconds to boot the display image. (2) After 5 minutes, it enters the standby state and drops to 0.0W. At this time, the power-on is still only a few seconds. (3) After pressing the power button to shut down, the internal chip will not immediately shut down, and the 7W power consumption will continue for 5 minutes and 10 seconds. (4) Partial loading, first display video source image, network function (connect wifi to view photos, video, music and other functions) 40 seconds after boot is completed, do not affect each other, after all, most users turn on the TV or watch the cable or external Box. Sony should also be useful to the android system (will be mentioned later), compared to the domestic TV boot to wait until android loaded to complete the idea of ​​watching TV is much better, it is worth learning. Open TV to wait for a 30-second commercial TV, the landlord will not buy, huh, huh.
This lasts 5 minutes of 7W power consumption, power consumption is only 0.0006 degrees, the rest of the time are all standby 0.0W (low to the power socket can not be detected), bringing fast response and flying general user experience.
Normal power consumption after watching TV? In the image options, the default backlight setting of the TV itself is 6 (maximum 10), power consumption is about 34-42W, even if the backlight is turned to the maximum, the power consumption is only 50W. But this is still much lower than I thought, to know that my old 32-inch, has adjusted the brightness of the medium and dark, because the downstairs do not like too bright, power consumption is about 35W. The 48-inch display area is 2.25 times that of the 32-inch display. It must be said that the technology is improving.
Panel, light leakage
Enter the project mode (please make your own Baidu), the panel number is LSY480HN0101, use Bing search (a brother can not go up recently), foreign audio and video forum that this is a Samsung PVA 50Hz panel. .
I suddenly woke up and began to persuade myself. After all, this is only a low-end position. The bottom is only 48R480B, 48R480B is the XR100, 48WM15B is the XR200, and the larger 60WM15B is the XR400. The XR200 is 200Hz? No No No, please see the following explanation from the Great God of the domestic forum:
The XR 100 technology is implemented by inserting one frame of black frame between adjacent two frames of original image. Reach 100Hz refresh rate.
The XR 200 technology is implemented by inserting a new frame between two adjacent frames of the original image, achieving a refresh rate of 100 Hz.
The XR 400 technology is implemented by inserting one black frame, one new frame, and one black frame between two adjacent original frames. Reach 200Hz refresh rate.
The XR 800 technology is implemented by inserting 3 frames of new pictures between two adjacent frames of the original image, achieving a refresh rate of 200 Hz.
My understanding is: 48WM15B is a 50Hz panel refresh rate +100Hz speed-driven television
In fact, the black light leakage map, I hesitate for a long time to paste, afraid to mislead everyone, the actual is not so exaggerated. The landlord personally attaches great importance to the black court, and the TV and monitors are more preferred to the VA panel. Watching a TV show may not feel like watching HD movies. Most of them are 2.35:1. Black and white will be left and right. The black border will be leaky. It will be very difficult to watch a whole piece (slightly obsessive-compulsive disorder). The 48-inch VA panel is black. Leakage is actually better than my 32-inch IPS panel. I suggest stopping at the store to watch and compare.
Menu, rich options
Although Sony is not a former Sony, Sony still gives users a lot of choices. There are a lot of options for everyone to customize. It's a bit annoying, haha, but the default is OK. In addition, the option of MPEG noise reduction is very good, with the radio and TV high-definition set-top box to see the football game that people have rough edges of the friend (like JPEG picture compression is too severe, the formation of the edge of the sawtooth), you can automatically adjust the option to "high" , wipe clean, and basically does not affect the picture quality.
Built-in networking features
Can access images, music, videos on USB or DLNA. Video supports a limited decoding format.
Most of the applications provided are from Opera TV Store. The applications provided on this store should all be HTML5 applications and games. This type of pure web application and textures have to be loaded from the server side. Domestic Baidu maps, picture squares, etc. All of them are OK, and foreign countries are not good enough. For example, if you open a popular Snake game, the game is very simple, but due to the presence of textures in foreign servers, it takes a long time to load, as shown above. So the user experience of these applications is not good. Note: The landlord home 10M Telecom broadband.
In the mistaken hit point to view the software license, familiar with the UI style, this is not an android, it seems that Sony's extension is likely based on android, but Sony does not support the local installation of apk, is indeed a big pity. Sony's reason for doing so may be based on low-configuration hardware, copyright, and commercial considerations.
Difference with W600B
I have tangled in the end is to buy 48W600B or 48WM15B, because the two are very similar, looks only the difference between the base, but the 48WM15B is a few hundred dollars cheaper than the 600B. There is always a feeling of peace of mind, after all, LCDs have shrunk while cutting prices. After I read the instructions, I was relieved that the 48W600B, 48WM15B, and 40W600B share a single list. The difference is only in the weight of the base.
Surprisingly, the description of the LED backlight source is - direct type. This manual was printed in April this year, and these are new products for 2014. Now it is said that with a more cost-effective side-entry, Sony will actually use direct-type products in the low-end products. I think it is unbelievable, and think it is wrong, haha.
to sum up
48WM15B in my opinion is still a good product price, although the use of the 50Hz panel, but watching the World Cup did not feel there is a card, rich options can be defined strong, color to please the eye, boot fast low power consumption, but the lack of 3D Function (I don't care at all), network functionality is optional (just like a box), plus the brand premium, the overall recommendation is to buy.
For a 4K opinion, most devices currently lack the ability to decode 4K movies, and the source is a problem. There are very few TVs and peer devices that support input/output of 3840x2160@60fps HDMI 2.0. The 48-inch 1080 is sitting close to seeing the static picture indeed grainy, but the TV is placed three meters away to see the dynamic picture is imperceptible. So you don't have to worry about the resolution. After 4 or 4 years of TV, 4K may not be popular. If you are rich, those above are all problems that you should tangled up with. Haha!
