4K TV three strong hegemony who is the real king of 4K quality?



4K TV quickly became popular in 2014 and its sales volume has been greatly advanced, occupying about 20% of the overall LCD TV market. 4K TVs have become pervasive. In 2015, the 4K TV penetration rate will further increase, and the popularity of the "battle" will also be fully launched. You may have nowhere to hide.


Compared with ordinary TVs, 4K TVs first have a clear increase in resolution, with a resolution of 3840×2160, which is 4 times the resolution of 1080P Full HD TVs. In the process of 4K development, 4K TV also deduce many new product categories to meet the needs of users. At present, it is mainly divided into three categories:

First, the appearance of change. The TV brand led by Samsung introduced a 4K TV with a curved design to allow users to enjoy a unique surround-view experience.

Second, the panel changes. With 4 colors 4K, this new 4K panel adds white sub-pixels based on RGB three-color pixels. The single pixel consists of four sub-pixels of WRGB (white, red, green, and blue) to increase brightness and reduce power consumption. And get rich colors.

Third, the backlight changes. With Hisense ULED as the head, its ULED adopts multi-zone independent backlight control and Hiview's landscape engine technology. Compared with traditional LED display, the UCON has a significant improvement in terms of picture contrast, picture layering, dark field details, accurate color reproduction, and smoothness of the picture.

Then the question is, who is the 4K TV's strongest player among the above three major 4K TVs?



To this end, we have selected high-end flagship models in each category for comparison experience, namely the full-fledged curved TV Samsung UA55HU9800, the charm of the little Prince Hisense ULED LED55XT900X3DU and TV upstart 4 color 4K TV Skyworth 55G9200. All three products are 55 inches in price, Samsung is selling at a higher price, and Hisense is priced at around 10,000 yuan. Then the question came again. Really the higher the price, the better the picture quality? The author also wants to know.


The three 4K TV ratings will be compared from the four aspects of sharpness, color, light and dark scenes, jitter and hangover. Each item will be interspersed with physical contrasts, classic TV program recollections, Hollywood blockbusters, PS4 Let's start with exciting content such as game battles. (All the links are in standard mode, as shown below)

Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800J image settings
Who can better let you see "autumn water"?


From standard definition (480P) to high-definition (720P) and then from full HD (1080P) to 4K ultra-high definition (2160P), the biggest change for users is clarity. In simple terms, with the same size, higher resolution can bring more detailed details, more realistic textures, and smoother smoothness. Therefore, the first part of the three-strong competition is the sharpness competition.


First, in the face of a big map, can you find your home?


4K part of China map

I believe that everyone wants to see this map of China on the computer is not easy, then in the 4K TV, its performance will be like? Colleagues and aunts came to try one.


Trying to find your home from the 4K map displayed on TV


Wow, it was originally an islander.

First of all, when you see the three 4K TVs displaying maps, you can see that the color of the Skyworth 55G9200 is very strong compared to the other two. The purple borderline has become a deep purple, and there are also color blocks in each province. Deeper, the resolution is more obvious, but it is a bit off the actual picture.

"Wow, Aunt was originally an islander!" He pointed his finger at the Diaoyu Islands. According to the close-up photos of Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, and Samsung UA55HU9800J, the four small dots of Diaoyu Island are clearly visible, and the Diaoyu Islands can also be distinguished, but the thickness of the dots is different, and the size of the Xiaoxing 55G9200 is different. The small dots are about to be connected. This is because the pixels of the 4 color 4K TV add a white sub pixel.

In order to make the contrast of the text more obvious, I also added a 4K TV with lines, numbers and letters to compare.

In practical terms, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU has the most impressive numbers and letters, and is also the most experienced person.



Through the comparison of actual letters and numbers, it can also be found that Skyworth 55G9200 lines with 4 color 4K panels are thicker, Samsung UA55HU9800J is the second, and Hisense LED55XT900X3DU has the most sharp fonts, and the strokes are simple, straightforward, and legible.



Second, the resolution of the full range of a small pixel distance

In order to fully consider the clarity of the three products of Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, and Samsung UA55HU9800J from the aspects of letters, characters, lines and color blocks, we used the 4K resolution test chart of Mr. Qian for reference.

By comparison, we can see that Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800J three products are very good performance in terms of clarity, but the nuances are still small differences. Here's a look at the author:


First of all, from a textual point of view, the sharper performance makes the smallest "Y" and other letters have no mixed feeling.

Second, at the online bar, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU can achieve 25-28 (28 best), one step away from the best, other products may need two steps.






In the contrast of color patches, the three products can easily identify the smallest color blocks, but when you look closely, you can find that the Hisense LED55XT900X3DU and Samsung UA55HU9800J are more obvious in the gap performance between each color block and color block. Fear of only a small pixel difference.
Sharpness Comparison Comments:

As three high-end 4K TVs (parametric picture articles), Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, and Samsung UA55HU9800J all performed well in terms of clarity, and all tests passed.

However, there are differences between the three, especially the fineness of the online bar, the performance of the minimum text, and the gap between the smallest color blocks. Hisense LED55XT900X3DU is the most delicate, and the Samsung UA55HU9800J is slightly more lush. The 4K Skyworth 55G9200 clearly has a small extra pixel at each location. The display will have a bold feel in the PS, similar to printing the color patches on the rice paper, and the blooming will cause the gaps between the patches to be inconspicuous. So the specific score is as follows:



Color fight, who is more colorful


First, the color performance test chart test

Then came the color test link, we first look at Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800 (parameter picture article) J three products play color test chart performance.


When viewing the color test chart, we mainly see whether there is a congruence between each color patch. Whether each color area below the color map shows a triangle or not, whether the color ball has a rich sense of hierarchy and whether the transition is soft.


The differentiation of green color blocks


From the actual test we can see that the color performance in addition to the green color block in terms of the Skyworth 55G9200 is not a good distinction, there is no problem, the color distribution diagram Hisense LED55XT900X3DU and Samsung UA55HU9800J each area of ​​the triangle are more obvious, the same Skyworth The green part of the 55G9200 feels a bit confusing.

For the color ball diagram, we can see each product's display of the color area, in which Skyworth Skyworth 55G9200 almost lost the detail when displaying the top right brown ball.

Second, true and false Li Wei, true and false pitaya contrast

Perhaps the color blocks look too hard. I purchased a dragon fruit, photographed them, and put them on three products for comparative viewing. At the same time, I invited 7 people to compare them and see what they would think. What is the most realistic product performance? (Product No. 1 is Skyworth 55G9200, No. 2 is Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, and No. 3 is Samsung UA55HU9800J)


Invite 7 people to compare and experience the real dragon fruit


Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800J each had three points


Through actual comparison experience, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU and Samsung UA55HU9800J each had three votes, Skyworth 55G9200 got one vote. Although all show the same dragon fruit, the three TVs (parameter picture article) machines show different effects. The display effect of Skyworth 55G9200 is a bit like the feeling of dragon fruit being placed for too long, and the display effect of Hisense LED55XT900X3DU is like The dragon fruit just picked it off, Samsung UA55HU9800J's display effect is like a freshly cooked dragon fruit.

Third, the red and blue green demonstration video effect comparison

After comparing the static images, let's take a look at the effect of the red, green and blue dynamic video presentations. The authors each shot a comparison chart, as shown in the following figure:

Who is more transparent color, details who are more clear

Taken together, the Skyworth 55G9200 has a deeper color, which is a bit like the image of the “Intelligent Color” in the Mito Xiuxiu. The color of the Hisense LED55XT900X3DU is a little tender and the permeability is very good. Thanks to ULED's adaptive peak brightness boosting technology and dark field image detail enhancement technology, the brightness of the backlight in the corresponding area is enhanced in brightly shaded image scenes and highlights in the screen, resulting in a richer image hierarchy. Three-dimensional feeling is stronger; Samsung UA55HU9800J shows a reddish orange feeling, and the overall color of other colors is natural.


Fourth, the PS4 game "FIFA2014" comparison


Next, we experience the screen effects of Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU and Samsung UA55HU9800J playing PS4 high-definition large-screen game "FIFA2014".

The colors of the uniform and the green grass are different


From the "FIFA2014" screen effect, the same problem, Skyworth 55G9200's color is too heavy, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU's screen is very bright, Samsung UA55HU9800J's screen kind of cast a fog of feeling.

For the football field's grass, although the same season, the same game scene, the scenes shown by the three are indeed different, Skyworth 55G9200 grass is summer, very green; Hisense LED55XT900X3DU grass is very tender, It's a bit like a spring grass, just feeling like it grows up; the grass of Samsung UA55HU9800J is a bit like the feeling of autumn, and slowly put on yellow clothes.

Fifth, the effect of high-definition Hollywood film contrast

"Avenger's Alliance 2: Austrian era" Trailer scene real shot

The color performance is very obvious when playing a Hollywood movie. Skyworth 55G9200 shows a red robot with a deep red color. Hisense LED55XT900X3DU shows a very bright red robot. Samsung UA55HU9800J has a very soft red robot, but there is always a partial orange color. The feeling can be seen more clearly by the following three enlarged pictures:

Which of the above three models is your favorite?

Color Comparison Comments:

Through comparison of the above color test cards, physical comparisons, dynamic video, and Blu-ray game screens, it can be seen that Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, and Samsung UA55HU9800J differ greatly in the performance of their colors. Skyworth 55G9200 has deepened any color. Processing, can be seen in the clarity of the color of the map, is red more red, green more blue, blue and blue, the lines are also deepened, just when they feel that the color is very attractive, but look closely You will find that some of the scenes are not true, and many details will disappear invisible.

The color of Hisense LED55XT900X3DU gives a transparent feeling overall, especially in the red and yellow, the most outstanding performance, color is positive and translucent, which is a great advantage of ULED.

The color performance of the Samsung UA55HU9800J gives a very real feeling overall, but it has found two problems: first, the screen will have a layer of foggy feeling, so that the three-dimensional and transparent brightness of the screen is not enough; second, when the performance is red , there will be a more orange situation, more obvious when compared.



Spelling, black and white is true

4K TV (parametric picture article) screen performance is not bad In addition to clarity, color, light and dark scene hierarchy is excellent performance is also a very important part, the next part we take a look at Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800 (parameter picture article) J how to feel the level of light and dark scenes.

First, tone level restore test chart test

First of all, we selected Professor Qian's "Reconstructive tone level test chart" to test, mainly to see the level of 32 grayscale and spherical gray level transition effects.


32 grayscale contrast renderings


From the actual effect, we can see that among the 32 gray levels, the Skyworth 55G9200 has a jumping phenomenon at the 28th order; Hisense LED55XT900X3DU can be clearly identified up to the 32nd order; the Samsung UA55HU9800J cannot distinguish the last three gray levels.

Hisense LED55XT900X3DU show the effect of real shot (gray level contrast sphere diagram)


Samsung UA55HU9800J show the effect of real shot (gray level contrast sphere diagram)


In the spherical gray-scale effect comparison, Skyworth 55G9200 grayscale after 8 has been unable to identify, and Hisense LED55XT900X3DU can easily identify the last gray circle, Samsung UA55HU9800J last two gray circles can not be identified.

Second, 4K image, where did the mountain go?

As a 4K TV, the author played a series of 4K video playback demos, and selected dark scenes such as forests, water sources, night scenes, and clouds for comparison, as follows:

Mountain forest articles:

For the mountain color Skyworth 55G9200 is also very deep performance, the entire mountain has been black, can not tell where is the stone where the tree, saw a dark piece, and Hisense LED55XT900X3DU you can see every stone on the mountain .


Stream chapter:

The grass next to the stream, this article does not discuss who is more green, who's details are more clear, who shows the roots of the plants can be seen, I believe we have seen three pictures can be clear at a glance.

Night Scene:

This is a scene of a city night scene. You can see that some of the buildings in the picture are almost black and some are clearly structured.


Cloud sea articles:

This is a scene of a sea of ​​clouds at night. Who do you think has more details when faced with floating clouds?

After the comparison of the above four dark scenes, I believe we all know, and we also played a few 2K video also contrast the dark scene hierarchy.

Third, 2K images, black is going to be a good LCD

The LCD TV has always had a flawed situation. The black scene does not go black, and the white is not white enough. This has become the most important point for plasma TVs and other TV products. Of course, if LCD TVs want to go black, they have to innovate from the backlight. Simply put, turning off the backlight is not black? But how do you do it? Let's first look at the contrast effects of Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800J three LCD TVs playing 1080P video.

Opening Ceremony of the Film (product placement order Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800J)

Pictured above is the end of the Hollywood movie, a black scene, plus red light rendering, the middle is indeed black enough, the red light is also bright enough.

A "small boat" opens into the distance. Perhaps the moon in the sky is too bright, and some are already like white. "Boats" crossed and the surface of the water was also set off. The scene from the actual effect point of view, only Hisense LED55XT900X3DU showed the screen and screenshots are the most similar, the smallest color difference, while the other two TVs are too different, not enough real, like to buy clothes in Taobao, serious color.

Picture level comparison comments:

Through the comparison of the screen layers shown by the above dark scenes, we can see that Hisense LED55XT900X3DU has obvious advantages in this regard, which is mainly due to the multi-zone backlight dynamic control technology carried by Hisense ULED. It divides the backlight of the LCD TV into multiple independent control units. It can accurately adjust the brightness of the corresponding backlight area according to the light and dark distribution of each frame of the image. In this case, the backlight will be turned off and the screen will be bright. Places will increase brightness, and the entire screen will not only have a rich sense of depth, but will also have a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and the picture will be closer to reality. This is reflected in many of the above images.

In addition, ULED through the module drive technology to adjust the LCD drive analog voltage and 14bit image processing technology to achieve continuous adjustment of the gray curve, makes the image gray level transition clear and more in line with human visual experience, which is why Hisense LED55XT900X3DU face There are no pressure reasons for 32 levels of grayscale and spherical grayscale. In general, we have to admire the superb performance of Hisense ULED in dark field performance.


Smuggling the tail, who is the favorite football game?


The LCD TV (parameter picture article) also has a major problem is the tail, the problem of jitter, which is usually when we watch the small tail with a LCD TV football. Next, the author will play a fast moving video, to view the Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, Samsung UA55HU9800 (parameter picture article) J three 4K TV tailing and jitter phenomenon.

Dithering and smearing shots (in the actual viewing process, too many ghosts will not see the numbers)


You can see from the top of the puzzle, Skyworth 55G9200 appeared obvious tailing phenomenon, in the actual viewing process can hardly see the figures normally, and the performance of Hisense LED55XT900X3DU and Samsung UA55HU9800J are very good.

In order to better suppress the smearing problem of LCD TVs, Hisense ULED uses a high-speed scanning system up to 1440Hz, which makes the liquid crystals in the state of backlight blackfield scanning during the rotation process, which reduces the sense of image sticking in the human eye and realizes a smooth motion picture. To see the cool football game, choose Hisense ULED right.

The experiencer identified Hisense ULED as the king of 4K picture quality


Through the above tests in terms of clarity, color, layering, and trailing, in the end who is the king of 4K picture quality in high-end 4K TVs, I believe we all have ideas in mind. In order to achieve a more user-realistic experience, we once again invited seven experiencers to actually watch three 1080P Hollywood movie clips and classic TV shows to rate their favorite 4K TV votes.

Seven people watch three 4K TVs to play 080P Hollywood movie clips and classic TV shows










Through the appreciation of three 2015 Hollywood movie trailers and two HDTV program shows, the final score is as above. The experience person Xiao Fan said: “Look at the overall scene performance, No. 1 TV is too bright, suitable for watching art films; No. 2 is very bright, very transparent, looks more comfortable; No. 3 color performance is still relatively good, but the total There is a layer of fog on top of it, especially when it is not viewed at the front.” The expression of this experiential person also represents the opinion of most people. In addition, for the curved 4K TV, people think that the positive viewing effect will be better. When the deviation is a bit more, the color and brightness of the screen will change significantly, and it is more suitable for “exclusive”.

Who is the real king of 4K picture quality?

After a series of comparisons, we first look at the overall performance of Skyworth 55G9200, Hisense LED55XT900X3DU, and Samsung UA55HU9800J three 4K TVs:


From the above results, Samsung UA55HU9800J due to relatively high prices, the overall performance received a certain degree of influence; and Hisense LED55XT900X3DU regardless of individual results or comprehensive results are among the best, to become the real 4K quality 4K television king.

There is also saying:

1. It is understandable that the trend of 4K TV in 2015 will be even more fierce. This cross-review has a very comprehensive comparison of the picture quality of 4K TVs, and the comparison is based on the high-end models currently available in the market. How can we help you? Buy 4K TV Please come back and like it.

The 4K TV market will surely have many new technologies and new products coming out. For example, quantum 4K TVs that were very popular at the beginning of the year will challenge the top 4K TVs. Is there any advantage in the current leading Hisense ULED? Next, the Wanwei home network will certainly conduct more comparative evaluations for netizens. If you have a good idea, you can tell us.

3, for clarity, 4K TV does have many advantages, so I believe that in order to get more clear visual effects, 4K TV is very necessary to buy. The Internet uploads many words, but after comparing the viewing effects of 4K TV and 2K TV, 4K TV is worth buying is the author's point of view.

4, the color is still a little pure and translucent. One of the models tested this time has deepened the color, but this is getting farther and farther away from the reality. Just like the experiencer Xiaofan said, perhaps it is appropriate to watch a movie. The performance of Hisense ULED in the color performance, especially red/yellow, surprised the writer, especially in the dark scene, it was more translucent and the effect was excellent.


5, smearing is the LCD TV has been flawed, but in this test process, we see Hisense LED55XT900X3DU and Samsung UA55HU9800J's performance is very good, for the ordinary viewing requirements, smearing is not a big problem .

6, 4K TV in the appearance, the panel and the backlight are in rapid development, showing that 4K TV is bound to be the battlefield of the current military, and who's 4K TV to do better, who's market share is even more favorable, This can be seen from the brand share of China LCD TV market in 2014 and the CES annual display technology innovation award. Interested friends can “baidu” it.
