Vertical screen weather

Television is more than just a piece of furniture. For many people, if there is no TV in the living room, then this "home" will never have a taste, although with the rich functions of computers and mobile phones, TV has become more and more an ornament.

Is that really the case? In fact, in my opinion, some advantages of TV are incomparable to mobile phones, and the immersive audio-visual experience brought by better display and better sound cannot be provided by mobile phones.

However, on TV, we can't brush Tik Tok and watch short videos. In the end, our sight will be limited to those small screens of a few inches.

However, if there is demand, there will be products. The launch of TCL XESS rotating smart screen equipped with the brand-new system provided by Thunderbird Technology made me see another possibility of TV development, because it is a 55-inch super-large "mobile phone".

"90-degree rotation opens a new" horizon "

TCL XESS rotating smart screen comes with vertical screen area. After opening, with the BGM full of sci-fi sense and the slowly rotating 55-inch screen, it brought great shock and made people really feel the changes brought about by scientific and technological progress. Just like the first time I saw LCD TV, technology has been progressing from thick to thin, from static to dynamic.

There are many columns in the vertical screen area, such as art museum area, keep fitness area and game area. Look at the fitness area first. The epidemic in the past few months has made many people stay at home and can't go out to exercise. Fitness software headed by Keep has become the choice of many people. TCL and Keep cooperate to put many fitness videos into TV, so that the whole family can exercise indoors with videos, which is obviously much more convenient and clear than the small screen of mobile phone.

Of course, if you have children at home, you can also turn this TV into an intelligent game machine. The experience of playing games on such a 55-inch display screen is estimated to be understandable only after personal experience.

In addition, there are channels such as art galleries. When you don't use TV, you can switch to the art museum, which has a lot of ultra-clear 4K works of art, such as Van Gogh's Starry Night on the Rhone, which adds a sense of literature to your home.

Although the vertical screen area has many functions, it still seems not amazing enough. Don't worry, just download a "multi-screen interactive" APP on your mobile phone, connect the TCL XESS rotating smart screen and gently shake your mobile phone. The picture displayed on the mobile phone can be projected on the TV, and the whole process is very convenient and the response speed is very fast.

After the rotation, TCL XESS is a big-screen "mobile phone". Everything we do on the mobile phone will be synchronized to the screen, such as brushing Tik Tok, reading novels and paying attention to live broadcast. Watch a live broadcast of a game with friends at a party. When playing a game in a team, you can also transmit the picture of the game to the TV in real time to watch it together. It is an artifact of party entertainment.

In addition to shaking, TCL XESS rotating smart screen is also equipped with a lifting camera supporting face tracking, and you can almost see 1: 1 real-life pictures during video calls. Moreover, TCL XESS has built-in functions such as address book, which can make calls directly through voice assistants. Even the elderly can use it easily, and chatting is just like being in front of them thousands of miles away.

In addition, the photos taken will be saved in the "Local Album" in the Smart Album APP, or you can add the photos from your mobile phone to "* * * Enjoy Album", view the photos from your mobile phone directly on TV, and share photos and happy times with your family.

There is also a good family note function. You can add notes directly by voice, and then remind you to buy food and cook at a scheduled time. Don't worry about being too absorbed in the drama and forgetting to cook. You can also make an appointment for the movie you want to watch on the mobile app, and it will play automatically when the appointment time is up. It feels a bit like the alarm clock reminder function of the mobile phone, which is quite convenient and easy to use.

The morning function is also quite good, which can display calendar information and the weather situation of the day, and also play some news information. Set the wake-up time at 8 o'clock every morning, which can be used as an alarm clock. Then you can prepare breakfast and listen to the news, and decide whether to bring an umbrella or add clothes by the way.

"Professional quality, visual experience is real.

As a brand-new smart screen, TCL XESS has made great efforts in the picture quality of TV, although its main selling point is intelligence and rotation. After all, TCL, as a company with the second largest sales volume in the world and its own panel industry chain, does not need to cut corners in this respect. First, high-level standards can be achieved in terms of resolution, side view and clarity.

In terms of color, according to official data, TCL XESS adopts a primary color high color gamut panel (BT.709 120% color gamut value), and is equipped with a Mirron color matching chip and a Q image quality engine, which can better control the color accuracy and make the transition of the picture more natural.

In the actual experience, the color performance of TCL XESS is really quite good. From deep to shallow, the transition from blue to red is very natural and smooth, which well reflects the subtle color changes of the original picture without any color faults.

In this wallpaper with frequent color transitions and diverse tones, TCL XESS still has excellent color control, and the colors of different color systems can still be accurately restored when mixed together, and the color balance control remains at a high level, making the whole picture very comfortable.

In addition, for LED TV, besides accurate color, it also needs good brightness control and light leakage control. After all, many people like to watch movies in the dark and get the feeling of a cinema. Moreover, even in daily use, problems such as light leakage have a great influence on the display effect of the picture.

(Other TV models)

In many LED TVs I have experienced before, the problem of light leakage often occurs, especially when playing movies. If you switch the picture to the picture ratio of 2 1: 9, the black areas above and below the picture will greatly affect the perception if they leak light. But in the experience of TCL XESS, the light leakage at the edge can be well controlled.

In HDR video, the performance is also quite good, the performance of contrast and brightness is better, the clarity and color effect of the picture are improved, and the video source effect with "Dolby Vision" is more obvious.

(requires film source support)

(The blockbusters in the past two years have all supported it)

In addition, TCL XESS rotating smart screen is also equipped with MEMC (Video Frame Insertion) technology. With the help of this technology, when TV plays video, it will estimate the motion trajectories of people, scenes and objects in the picture, and insert new pictures in two adjacent frames to make the whole video content transition smoother. Thereby effectively reducing the blur of high-speed moving pictures, and the movements of characters in movies are smoother and closer to the naked eye display effect.

"HiFi sound quality, why do you want to go to the cinema to see a movie?

Although many movie enthusiasts now have special home TV stereos, there is no need to bother if they just want to watch movies once in a while to relax. However, there are many requirements for the sound effect of TV itself. TCL XESS is equipped with a bunch of (15+5W) Japanese Joann fever-grade HiFi audio, with a huge speaker volume of 2L, which has almost no rivals in the same price TV.

Some people may not be familiar with the concept of 2L speaker volume. Simply put, the whole backboard behind the TV is the sound cavity! With its super-large sound cavity and high-power sound generating unit, TCL XESS has excellent sound effects, and with audio technologies such as Dolby Panoramic Sound and IMAX Enhancement Technology, it can bring a surround audio-visual experience.

Needless to say, the effect in the film. Dolby panoramic sound, combined with the excellent low-frequency dive and intensity of the sound itself, can bring immersive audio-visual effects in some grand scenes, and the sound effects are shocking, while the actors' dialogue is still clear and debatable, not covered by special effects sound.

(In smart speaker mode, the song name will be displayed on the small round screen. )

Watching movies is good, but listening to music? Tcl xess's performance in middle and high frequencies can be said to be a bit unexpected, and it has quite good performance in human voice and instrumental music. Excellent low frequency, TCL xess can adapt to almost all music types, and the hearing is good.

"Unique mobile phone rounded corner design: pleasing to the eye.

Different from the traditional right-angle TV, it adopts a rounded corner design similar to the mobile phone screen, and it is also the only rotating TV with rounded corner design at present, which makes it look better after switching to a straight screen.

TCL XESS supports two installation methods, wall-mounted bracket and floor-mounted bracket. I choose bracket installation here. The shape of the metal bracket is also very simple, and the column is also designed for storage. After installation, all kinds of cables can be stored inside, making the whole look more concise.

TCL XESS rotating smart screen does not adopt the popular narrow frame design this time, but adopts an integrated curved metal frame. The corners and borders are also made of bright black and exquisite wire drawing technology, which looks more high-end and atmospheric.

A metal nameplate named "TCL Xess" is also designed in the lower right corner of the screen, which makes the finishing touch and enhances the design sense of TCL Xess rotating smart screen.

A hidden camera is placed in the center of the upper frame of the fuselage, and the camera will automatically rise when the functions such as taking pictures or video calls are turned on. The cameras used every day are hidden, flush with the frame, and the workmanship is very fine.

TCL XESS rotating smart screen adopts the design of separating the screen from the speaker. On the back of the screen is a large-size Japanese Joann independent stereo, and the surface is covered with a professional audio network, which has the feeling of Nordic literary style. This combination of industry and literature and art brings a good feeling.

In the lower right corner of the speaker, a camera lock button is set. If the camera is locked, it can't be lifted, which can better protect the privacy and safety of family members. The power button of the TV is also set in this position, and a USB-A interface is reserved at the bottom, which makes it more convenient to access the USB flash drive when hanging on the wall.

A small sub-screen is also designed in the center of the speaker, which has three display modes, and can display information such as date, time, video content playback progress and so on. When switching to smart speaker mode, you can see some information directly through the secondary screen.

The design of the back of the fuselage is quite simple, with a blue tone design similar to the grid color of the speaker. There is a detachable cover at the middle bottom, and the main interfaces are hidden inside, which makes the overall look and feel more integrated.

For the convenience of daily use, you can also consider taking off the cover.

There are USB-A, HDMI 2. 1, AV signal input interface, RJ45 gigabit network cable interface and digital audio input interface under the cover, which basically covers all kinds of functions we commonly use and can support the connection of various devices.

I have to say that TCL TV is always online and TCL Xess gives me the same feeling. In the current TV market, the price of 5000+ is not high, but the texture and design of TCL Xess are comparable to many high-end products, and it is more in line with the popular home improvement style.

"Evaluation summary

TCL XESS rotating smart screen TV can be said to have brought me a completely different experience from the previous smart TV. Smart screen is no longer just an electrical appliance isolated from the mobile phone ecosystem, it can be perfectly combined with the mobile phone ecosystem to give users a better experience. In addition, this brand-new Thunderbird system is provided by Thunderbird Technology, a quasi-unicorn company under TCL Electronics, with strong overall usability and playability.

Moreover, TCL Xess can be said to have crushed most traditional smart mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets in terms of color gamut, professional quality chips, Dolby Vision, Dolby Panoramic Sound, Joan Audio and IMAX enhancement. TCL Xess makes TV no longer just an ornament in the living room.
