Watch hundreds of movies casually and evaluate Konka 42TS86 network TV.

IT 168 Evaluation With the built-in streaming media function of HDTV, ordinary wd TV gradually lost its market. Not long ago, Konka just launched a new LCD TV, which not only has built-in streaming media function, but also provides a USB interface. The biggest selling point is that it provides network function and supports P2P network download protocol. Through the built-in network library, you can get a lot of resources such as movies, music and news. , you can download directly without a computer, and of course you can also play directly through USB devices.

Having said that, Konka's new model is LC42T86N, which has been tested in detail since last week in our evaluation room. It has full HD resolution of 1920x 1080, three HDMI inputs, two color difference inputs and VGA interface. Ethernet interface is a necessary interface for network TV, and two USB interfaces greatly increase the expansion ability and provide more playing modes. Let's take a look at the appearance of this machine first.

Konka 42TS86 LCD TV is a network TV, so the interface of network card is essential. At the same time, it also provides two sets of USB interfaces for expansion, and other interfaces are quite comprehensive, including HDMI, component, VGA and so on. Then we will start our test. First, let's take a look at the picture menu introduction of the product.

Functional analysis of powerful menu

The system menu of Konka 42TS86 is relatively simple, which is divided into four menus: image adjustment, sound adjustment, function and setting. It provides users with three preset image modes and can adjust the backlight brightness independently. There are many options in the sound menu, but the adjustment effect is not obvious due to the ability of the built-in speaker. Independent channel control is actually the volume control of the built-in speaker, which can adjust the change of frequency response. TV adjustment menu is based on mature design, and quick response is the consistent advantage of domestic products. Channel editing can save users a lot of time.

Image menu settings

In the image menu, there are three preset modes, namely standard, soft and dynamic, in which the dynamic mode will be brighter, the soft mode is suitable for watching movies at night, and the backlight can be adjusted according to actual needs. However, among the three preset modes, only dynamic mode cannot adjust other parameters, and other modes can set contrast and brightness in detail.

Sound menu

Like the image menu, the preset value of concentrated sound mode is provided in the sound menu, and compared with the previous models, this machine provides the setting of HDMI sound.

Introduction of main functions

In the function list, we can see the main core technology of 42TS86, which provides color gamut enhancement function, and can get more realistic image effects after opening. Smooth motion is the switch of two-speed technology, and there are some settings related to energy saving and function self-check. Interestingly, the machine also provides a perpetual calendar function. Let's look at each function one by one.

Still tested by the picture just now, in the image menu, the machine contains three preset modes, namely standard, soft and dynamic, in which the dynamic mode will be brighter, the soft mode is suitable for watching movies at night, and the backlight can be adjusted according to actual needs. However, among the three preset modes, only dynamic mode cannot adjust other parameters, and other modes can set contrast and brightness in detail.

Then let's take a look at the picture differences in each mode. ?

Interestingly, the machine provides a color gamut map, which can display the color gamut range of the current picture. This is a creative function, but it is generally of little use to ordinary users. The rest of the image preset is very convenient and easy to operate for ordinary families.

The biggest feature of Konka 42TS86 is its powerful network function, so some settings need to be made before use. Let's briefly introduce it step by step. First, open the network menu and the network setting interface will appear. Press OK to enter. ?

Display performance test

Next, we will enter the performance testing link that everyone is very concerned about, mainly because we are worried about the insufficient brightness and uniformity of the backlight system of ultra-thin LCD panels. The display mode is set to dynamic mode, and the energy saving function is turned off. 1080P signal is input through HDMI interface, and the instrument and TV are preheated for more than 30 minutes.

At the same time, the machine can realize 1080P24/50/60Hz output when a PC graphics card is connected. Although there is no peer-to-peer mode, all desktops can be displayed in full screen, and good results can be obtained by watching high-definition videos. Because we can't turn off the motion enhancement function, we temporarily skip the dynamic definition test, because inserting frame images can improve the fluency of moving images, but it will cause some interference to the definition view.

Finally, it is a screenshot of the playback effect of DVD. The test DVD is a high definition reference CD 2008.
