LCD TV Terminator Skyworth OLED TV 55S8 first evaluation

After years of "high music", OLED TV finally ushered in 2017, especially with the introduction of several heavyweight new products at the beginning of CES, which has become the focus of attention in the high-end market. In fact, throughout the industry, the outbreak of OLED is definitely an inevitable result. With the advent of consumer upgrades, consumers’ demand for high-end TVs is increasingly becoming more diversified. OLED is the future display technology that major TV brands compete to chase. "It is also reasonable. This year, as one of the earliest manufacturers to introduce OLED TVs in China, Skyworth continues to expand its OLED camp. Following the launch of the world’s first OLED TV Wallpaper series, another new product for ordinary consumers, 55S8, adds a boost to the popularity of OLEDs. .

Today this new OLED TV came to our evaluation room, because the OLED TV itself does not require the support of the backlight source, the pixel independent light-emitting characteristics, making the display color in the case of a safe body can do more lightweight, Skyworth 55S8 The thickness of the TV is only 4.7mm, easy to kill all the ultra-thin LCD TVs sold. At the same time, Skyworth 55S8 TV adopts 55-inch 4K OLED panel, ultra-high definition resolution, supports HDR10 standard, supports more stringent Dolby Vision standard, JBL original audio, artificial intelligence system, etc., both in appearance and connotation are in the industry leader Levels allow users to get the ultimate viewing experience.

Below, the author will have to confirm its actual performance through professional tests. Before starting the evaluation, we first take a look at the main parameters of this TV.

OLED picture quality? Skyworth 55S8 measured analysis

In the screen test session, the main test is the basic quality of the screen itself, including two major items: objective data test and actual photo test. The test data was tested by professional instruments (TOPCON's BM-7 luminance meter) on the brightness of the TV screen, NTSC color gamut, bright and dark contrast, and dark field performance. The camera part is mainly in the darkroom situation, with a TV external U disk, playing a good selection of people, landscapes, night scenes, sports and other different types of video, the screen's dynamic clarity, details of the reduction test.

â–²BM-7 (brightness meter) test process

As a 4K OLED TV, image quality is bound to be the most essential factor. How do you define good image quality? In my opinion, the best TV quality is to achieve the same effect as the actual environment we see with the naked eye. The ultimate goal is finally WYSIWYG. For color, one of the criteria for measuring good and bad is the color gamut, and the other is the color accuracy. The color gamut is the range of the color range that is presented. For example, if the human eye can discriminate a total of about 10 million colors, the television itself must As much as possible to present these colors, so we introduced the NTSC color gamut concept (developed by the National Television Standards Committee of the United States). As for the color accuracy, the best test method is to compare the color of the TV display with the human eye. difference.

After the professional instrument BM-7 test, the specific picture quality performance parameters of Skyworth 55S8 TV are: Under the default setting conditions, the measured brightness reaches 462 nits (HDR mode video playback measured, does not represent the highest brightness, for reference only), high In the general LCD TV 300 nits brightness, the black field brightness has been below the limit of the instrument 0.01 nits, can be said to close to infinite contrast; In addition, the measured NTSC color gamut is more than 100%, significantly higher than the 72% of the current mainstream TV Gamut range, spike 95% of TVs on the market.

Next is the test in HDR video playback. The 55S8 TV automatically recognizes HDR-10 format videos. Due to the limitation of the camera's sensitivity, photos do not completely reflect the true picture effects. However, we can still clearly see through the naked eye that the Skyworth 55S8 TV is not only of high brightness, but also the details of the preservation are very good, has reached the current top The standard. You can observe the light intensity of the sun and water in the real shot image below, the texture of the back of the tiger, the details of the dark surface of the water, and can also be more objectively reflected.

The Skyworth 55S8 uses a new image engine and pixel local light control technology to calculate the details of dark and bright scenes on the screen. It can accurately identify and simultaneously perform multiple image quality processing operations on objects that need to be retained. This will enable output control and optimization of other valid image information. It can be clearly seen from the following figure, such as the details of the dark light part, the performance is very good.
