The excellent Peng film and television program provides a lot of online video resources such as movies, TV shows, etc., in which resources are updated faster, and many movie resources are only recently released. By playing the movie "single men and women", it can be seen that the video quality of Youpeng Film and TV is good, and the network reading speed is also faster.

Eyesight game screen
The game is more like a Wii home console. Selecting a menu by moving the fingertips, picking up and blocking the reflex points is a matter of choice. You need to maintain a certain distance from the sensor while playing the game so that you can expand the area where the arms can be operated. . You can score by grabbing the pink squares, and the game responds smoothly, making it a game that can pass the time.

Tool Assistant interface
However, it is not user-friendly to use the remote control for zooming on web browsing. After all, the viewing distance of TV products is far away. It is difficult to see if the web page characters are not zoomed, but if you open other networks directly in the Windows system. The browser software can also browse the web through the included wireless keyboard.

By experimenting with the super-intelligent function of the V8200, the author believes that the super-intelligent platform's program is still not perfect, and delays or slow operations may occur during the operation. However, many resources in this platform, such as online video, song on demand, games and information, can enrich the leisure life of TV users. It is very suitable for the use of a family of old and young, and the opening of ordinary computer mode can also let users manipulate It is also very convenient to operate as a computer. >>
Six, TCL L55V8200 gray scale comparison test
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 uses Hi-Definition Reference Disc to test the disc, using the Sony S470 as Blu-ray player. The camera was shot with a Canon 30D and the lens was a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6.
The first test was a 15-gradient grayscale test. From the actual screen, the V8200 LCD TV performed fairly well. It was easy to distinguish each gray level, and 0, 1, 14 and 15 gray levels were more obvious. . It should be noted that when the natural light technology is turned on, the screen brightness is slightly higher than when the natural light technology is turned off, and the user can select whether to turn on or off according to his own needs.
TCL V8200 15 Gradient Grayscale Test
In the black latitude test, the V8200 performed generally in the dark, but the details in the shadows were not obvious, and the black sinking ability was flat, but the sharpness of the image in the highlights was clear.

Seven, TCL L55V8200 color performance test
First of all, we use Display X to perform full-gamut color over-test on the TCL V8200. From the perspective of the picture, the color is bright and transparent, but the transition between pink and crimson, yellow and green, and light blue and dark blue is compared. Hastily, especially the dividing lines between yellow and green appear clearly.

In the performance of the picture of the color coil, the V8200's color appears to be warm, but its ability to express gold is fairly good.

From the image of the rotating cloth, we can see that the TCL V8200 screen is relatively transparent and beautiful, but the color reproduction is a bit brighter and less realistic.
TCL V8200 color test
In terms of black and white contrast, black clothes are not easy to distinguish on a black background, and the details of silk are also general.
TCL V8200 color test
After changing the position, the details of the black clothes are still not obvious enough, but the performance of the bright part of the white clothes is clear and distinct.
TCL V8200 color test
By observing the font on the page, we can see that the V8200 is sharper and the details of the highlights of the colors are clearly visible.

From this image, it can be seen that the girl's skin is warmer and redder, and there is also insufficient sense of shade.
TCL V8200 color test
After a 15-step grayscale test, it can be seen that the TCL V8200 has a good grayscale performance, but it is not clear enough about the details of the shadows. It performs well in the transition to the full color gamut, and the color display is too bright and somewhat warm. >>
Eight, TCL L55V8200 dynamic screen test
In this part of the test, you need to pay attention to what the netizens are paying attention to is the car behind the windows of the fast-moving train and the body plates of the car. The author used the same ISO and aperture during the shooting process. The parameters are ISO-400 and F4.5. The exposure time is 1/100 seconds. TCL V8200 uses 100/120Hz double speed processing technology, let us see how its performance on the dynamic screen.
Judging from the effect of the trains on the road, there are ghosting phenomena in the houses passing through the train windows, indicating that they are more general in the display of dynamic images.
TCL V8200 dynamic picture test
In the high-definition video of a section of vehicles that is played below, we need to observe the car's license plate and the outline of the car body. The TCL V8200 is smooth for the entire video playback, with slight ghosting on the license plate and vehicle contours.

Nine, TCL L55V8200 power comparison test
TCL V8200 uses a side-mounted LED backlight, rated power consumption of 160w, for many LED-backlit LCD TVs are also relatively power-saving, and from the author's evaluation experience, the actual power consumption is lower than the rated power consumption. The author uses the instantaneous power consumption test method, which is to measure the power consumption values ​​of the six screens of red, green, blue, white, black and color transitions in the standard mode.
TCL L55V8200 power comparison test
From the actual test results, TCL V8200 in the standard image mode, the black screen power consumption is the lowest, 49.58w, while in green and blue is about 104w, while the power consumption of other brighter screen is maintained at about 150w The power consumption performance is still good.
Although TCL V8200 has 120Hz speed capability, but in actual use, its performance on high-speed dynamic picture is slightly insufficient, there is a slight smear phenomenon. In terms of power consumption, the V8200 also maintains a maximum of about 150W, which is relatively power-efficient. >>
Ten, TCL L55V8200 HD video screen test
In the high-definition video screen evaluation, I chose the "Dolby - the sound of high definition" and "homeland" these two Blu-ray discs, through the Sony S470 playback and transmission through the HDMI cable. Among them, "Dolby - the sound of high definition" is a documentary fragment of the African grassland. It can be seen from the screen image that the V8200 can play the screen smoothly, but the color of the screen is still too bright and slightly warm. However, the overall effect is good.

By playing these two videos, you can see that the TCL V8200 has a good playback effect, the picture is clear and smooth, but the noise is easy to appear in the bright part, and the color reproduction is slightly warmer. >>
Eleven, TCL L55V8200 streaming media playback test
The TCL V8200 is relatively isolated from its original mitv system due to its super-intelligent function, so it can be played on the streaming media either with the super-smart function or with the embedded system of its own TV, but inserting the USB When the device needs to distinguish between the interface on the fuselage and the super smart box, the following is a general streaming media test based on the Mitv 3.0 system.
TCL L55V8200 streaming media play menu
In video playback, the author tested several commonly used HD, SD resolution video file formats, such as RMVB, AVI and MKV, etc., V8200 can play the vast majority of video files, streaming video playback function is quite practical.
