[PConline comparison evaluation] has come to the end of 2012. The flat-panel TV industry has changed a lot this year. Smart TV is still the protagonist, but it has been further developed from the previous system customization. The system is no longer a simple customization. There has been a great improvement in interface control, such as the use of camera detection gestures for somatosensory remote control, remote control or TV built-in microphone to achieve speech recognition, but also cloud health, cloud on demand, etc. Applications began to improve; in addition, the large-size television market of 60 inches or more also began to become a new battlefield for manufacturers.
2012 LCD TV most complete PK 6 high-end TV picture quality comparison
The 2012 flat-panel TV market can be described as tepid. As the demand for flat-panel TVs in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities tends to be flat, there is no significant increase in sales in the overall market. However, manufacturers have begun to lay out the next upgrade of flat-panel television specifications. Domestic manufacturers have begun to seek differentiation of smart functions. Hisense has continued to dig deeper into smart TVs, while Skyworth has promoted “cloud-healthy†TVs, while TCL has focused on the development of a full-cloud strategy. In terms of foreign manufacturers, South Korea’s Samsung and LG have all focused on the development of smart TVs. Many products have unique features. Japanese manufacturers’ performance is further weakened. There is a lack of research and development in smart functions, and there is no new technology to follow. Sharp More than 60 inches of television is more complete, Sony is a large number of OEM production, product prices have more advantages, Panasonic has begun to force LCD TV products.

Comparison of appearance details
With the display as the main function of the flat-panel TV, the design of the border is very important. In addition to Samsung's dominant metal edge ultra-narrow frame, the use of IPS panel material TV will generally use the concept of "borderless hard screen", the main significance is to reduce the visual effect of the border, although the screen is still a black circle.

The TCL V6500 and the Skyworth E800A use a boundless hard-screen design, although the outer frame is only 1-2mm. It is still about 13mm; Sony HX950 reached 35mm.

Back, interface, remote control contrast
On the back of the material, only Samsung, Sony two manufacturers use a metal backplane, other models are plastic material.

Sony HX950 (click to enlarge) Skyworth E800A (click to enlarge) The labels on the back panel illustrate the origin of each TV. Domestic manufacturers are manufactured by the original manufacturer. For example, Qingdao Hisense is located in Qingdao, Konka is Dongguan, TCL is Huizhou, etc., while foreign brands, Samsung ES8000 is the original in Tianjin. Factory production, and Sony HX950 is produced by Foxconn OEM in Yantai.

Panel sub-pixels/materials
As the most important and expensive part of a flat-panel TV, it is important to figure out what material it is from which panel maker. The models with original panels are relatively limited, and are generally adopted by high-end models of foreign companies. There are also some IPS panels purchased with IPS hard screens purchased from LGD. It is relatively easy to determine the type of pixel point by using the pixel close-up picture, in which the Samsung ES8000 and the Sony HX950 adopt a similar panel, which is a new specification PVA panel produced by Samsung Display; Hisense XT880 uses Chi Mei (Innolux) ) The MVA panel, which is often referred to as the Taiwan screen, is a special sub pixel of the Konka X8200, which can only be guessed as AU Optronics' A-MVA panel.

Quality test data comparison
We use the evaluation room professional instrument to perform detailed tests on the six TVs. During the test, we adjusted each TV to the standard image mode, the backlight was adjusted to the brightest, and all the measured data were retained in the following two. In the table.
In the central brightness and average brightness, the Sony HX950 is quite high, which is because it uses a direct-type LED backlight; next is the Samsung ES8000, Samsung TV's backlight brightness has always been quite high; Hisense and Konka The television is again, but as long as the brightness reaches a certain level, the effect on the picture quality is not obvious.
In terms of color saturation, all TVs are close to or more than 72% of the NTSC color gamut, and the use of two similar panels, the Samsung ES8000 and the Sony HX950, has a good color gamut performance of over 79%. In terms of ANSI contrast, due to the use of better panels, the Sony Samsung machine has a good performance, and the Konka X8200 with the AMVA panel also has a good parameter performance.

In this link, different televisions have some light leakage problems, of which the performance is better is the Sony HX950, other TVs have a variety of non-uniform phenomenon.
Gray and black contrast
Since the screen shot has undergone the necessary software processing and is affected by the actual effect of the netizens' display, the screen displayed on the screen will eventually differ from the actual effect of the TV. Therefore, the actual effect is based on the author's text description. The author used a Hi-Definition Reference Disc to test the picture quality of the TV. (Because the effect of different display devices is different, you can refer to the editor's main view method when you cannot judge the screen image.) In the gray scale test, each gray scale is required to be clearly distinguishable, and the more difficult places generally appear in the The darkest part and the brightest part. The best performance of the grayscale model is the Sony HX950. The transition between the shadow and the two parts is naturally obvious, followed by the Samsung ES8000, Skyworth E800A and Hisense XT880.

In this link Sony HX950 with local control light LED backlight has a good performance, followed by TCL V6500, E800A, Hisense XT880 can not explain the details of the dark part, it seems too dark.

In the background separation, the difference between high-end TV is not great, but the Sony HX950 is considered the most outstanding performance, separated but not too obvious, the Samsung ES8000 will be lower in contrast when the brightness is large, which is also large The common problem of most LCD TVs.

Sony HX950 (click to enlarge) Skyworth E800A (click to enlarge) In the contrast test of grayscale and black level, the advantage of Sony HX950 dynamic backlight is quite obvious. For other models, the image processing and the quality of the panel have the greatest impact. It can be seen that the two models using the IPS panel are In this aspect, the performance is more satisfying. The Chi Mei screen used by Hisense shows that the screen is dark, but it cannot explain the details of the shadow details.
Color contrast
In the color transition, the ideal performance should be that the transition between the various colors is naturally not abrupt, and at the same time, all colors should have a layout of forces. In this comparison, the ideal performance is Sony HX950, Samsung ES8000 also has a natural transition, TCL V6500 in the yellow green, light blue dark blue and other regional transitions have shown a clear line and so on.

It can be seen here that the Konka X8200 has too many red and pink issues. The detail is not obvious at first. Skyworth E800A has a similar performance to blue restoration.

Sony HX950 (click to enlarge) Skyworth E800A (click to enlarge) In the past, it was believed that Samsung's colors were too bright and may seem too arbitrary at present. Samsung ES8000's colors are relatively light in these TVs. They can only be said to be bright; Hisense uses a panel of different materials and has a larger size than other models. The difference is that the phenomenon of warmer screen is more serious; the Konka X8200 screen is too bright, and some are out of the real; the E800A and V6500 of the two IPS screens are within the standard and have a slight color cast.
Dynamic picture contrast
In the high-speed dynamic picture, we use 1/200 seconds to take pictures. The places we need to observe include the outline of the car, but mainly whether the scene in the car window is clear and there are no smearing problems. It can be seen that even with a similar panel, different picture processing technologies will bring different high-speed dynamic performance, and the performance of the HX950 is better than the Samsung ES8000. Several domestic models are close to each other in dynamics, and there are certain smearing problems in the windows.
TCL V6500 (click to enlarge) Samsung ES8000 (click to enlarge) 
Sony HX950 (click to enlarge) Skyworth E800A (click to enlarge) Summary: From the above tests, we can see that the difference between high-end models is not as large as before, and domestic manufacturers have a good picture quality on high-end TVs because they have purchased better panels. Although compared with the Sony HX950 image quality benchmark, there is still a considerable gap, but the price of nearly 20,000 yuan also makes other models have a better competitiveness, not to mention other models also With smart features and other advantages. There is a similar panel, but it does not necessarily mean that the two will have the same quality, which can be clearly demonstrated between the Sony HX950 and the Samsung ES8000, the latter in the color of the restoration, dynamic picture All of them are slightly inferior; two Taiwanese models using Hisense's XT880 and Konka X8200 are not too bad. They are just too colorful or warm, they are more visually pleasing in daily use, and their workmanship is even better. Being solid makes people feel good.
