Kanshang TV C42 Pro review: good screen + good configuration, the first choice for small-sized TV

With the continuous improvement of modern people's viewing level, although the size of televisions placed in living rooms is getting bigger and bigger, considering the home usage scenarios such as bedrooms, as well as special circumstances such as moving and carrying by renters, small-sized TVs still occupy an irreplaceable position in the market.

In May this year, Kanshang, which celebrated its two-year anniversary, attracted the attention of the industry and consumers with its new flagship TV X98 with a giant 98-inch screen, becoming a new choice for winners in life. Facing the small-size market with a wider audience, Kanshang TV C42 Pro also uses "good screen + good configuration" to create a new small-size TV choice for users.

Small in size but with unambiguous details

As the name suggests, Kanshang TV C42 Pro is a product with a 42-inch screen, which is in the compact level of around 40 inches in the current TV field.

The appearance design of Kanshang TV C42 Pro caters to the mainstream public aesthetic. The craftsmanship of the details of the metal body is in place, such as the chamfer design on the side of the body and the seamless outer frame of the screen, which makes the product's visual integrity very high.

A major highlight of the product's appearance, the foot design of the Kanshang TV C42 Pro is consistent with the large-size products under the Kanshang brand. The unique lines outline the shape, combining the characteristics of simple appearance and stable placement, and adopts a screwdriver-free knob screw installation method, which makes installation and disassembly extremely convenient.

In addition, the design of a good TV is not just about the front. On the back of the machine, the eye-catching part of the Kanshang TV C42 Pro is the heat dissipation opening with a "Chinese style" hollow pattern, and the same style of shell pattern echoes it below, with exquisite craftsmanship.

Because it adopts a direct-backlit screen structure, the Kanshang TV C42 Pro obviously did not pursue the ultra-thin design which is of little significance to TV products. The more practical part is that the TV interfaces are concentrated on the left side behind the screen within easy reach, so that you no longer have to worry about "blindly plugging in and finding a hole" when connecting external devices.

In terms of expandability, there are two HDMI 2.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, plus a full range of network cables, miniAV, wireless/cable TV and 3.5mm headphone jack. For a TV that is only a little over 40 inches, it is very sincere.

Hi-Fi-level independent sound cavity enhances the audio-visual experience

As we all know, as the large-screen terminal occupying the most core position in the family, the level of sound and picture has always been the most important indicator to measure the quality of TV products. In terms of audio and video, Kanshang TV C42 Pro has its own advantages.

First of all, in terms of screen display, Kanshang TV C42 Pro uses imported A-specification VA full HD panel, and the display resolution reaches the mainstream 1080P full HD level in this size range. It uses the Kanshang brand's industry-leading 14 image optimization technologies, including AS anti-aliasing technology, AEE edge sharpening technology, DM noise elimination, DE-rin vibration elimination, etc.

At the same time, thanks to the 9.5ms response speed and the static contrast ratio of up to 4000:1, the effect is excellent when displaying high-dynamic sports events and landscape videos with strong contrast between light and dark.

In addition, the Kanshang TV C42 Pro not only has a 178° viewing angle, but also matches the AHVA wide-angle technology. Its biggest advantage is that no matter from which angle you watch the screen, it can ensure that the color display is free of deviation to the greatest extent. It can be seen that although the Kanshang TV C42 Pro is compact in size, it has not neglected the basic attribute of the TV screen to be shared with family.

What is more noteworthy is the improvement in sound quality of Kanshang TV C42 Pro. The built-in Hi-Fi-level independent sound cavity dual-channel speaker solution provides the product with a leapfrog advantage in sound performance.

The built-in speakers of the Shang TV C42 Pro use neodymium magnets to drive the speaker units, which greatly enhances the clarity and penetration of the sound it produces. The reason why the Shang TV C42 Pro can convey a thick and layered sound is inseparable from the bionic independent sound cavity design, which enables sound waves to resonate and superimpose back and forth in the sound cavity. If you are an elegant opera lover, then this TV will fully satisfy your preferences.

In addition, the CAN CVS system, which is unique to the Kanshang brand, is also reflected in the Kanshang TV C42 Pro, and it performs outstandingly in creating a 3D surround sound field, which is enough to give people an immersive feeling when watching war movies with a strong sense of space. In addition, it supports the Dolby Digital decoding system, which can adapt to 98% of the film sources currently on the market, ensuring outstanding audio-visual enjoyment and covering most of the viewing time.

Deeply customized CAN UI smart TV operating system, high-quality content can be watched for 100 years

In terms of parameter configuration, Kanshang TV C42 Pro is equipped with MSD6A348 quad-core A35 architecture 1.5GHz 64-bit processor, supplemented by Mali-400MP2 GPU and 1G DDR3+8GB eMMC storage combination. The data is not amazing, but thanks to the CAN UI smart TV operating system deeply developed based on TVOS2.0 of radio and television, the actual operation is smooth and stable, and it can handle 4K videos and mainstream TV games.

After being optimized by the CAN UI smart TV operating system, the TV interface of Kanshang TV C42 Pro neatly and reasonably arranges content such as videos and applications on the large screen. The icon design area is large, and viewing selection is accurate and convenient.

It is worth mentioning that the remote control that comes standard with the Kanshang TV C42 Pro, in addition to the necessary buttons for Android-based smart TVs, also has an extra "CAN key" designed under the keyboard, which allows users to enter the member area with one click. The reason for thinking in this way about the operation is that we have to mention the unique advantages of the Kanshang brand in content.

Inheriting China Radio International's 76 years of experience in domestic and overseas broadcasting, as well as the multi-dimensional advantages of being an all-media broadcasting business license authorization unit and an Internet TV license holder, the Kanshang TV C42 Pro, equipped with the CAN UI smart TV operating system, covers 95% of the audio and video content on the entire network, such as popular TV series such as "Princess Agents", "My Boyhood", "My First Half of Life", as well as the latest high-grossing blockbusters such as "King Kong: Skull Island" and "Logan".

Kanshang relies on the CIBN Internet TV platform to have a powerful online content group, integrating resources from first-tier video websites such as Youku Tudou, Sohu, and PPTV, and bringing together overseas content from North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions around the world. It also has special areas such as "First Release Film Line", "4K Zone", and "Blu-ray Zone"; it has also fully integrated content areas such as carousel, TV shopping, games, news, education, and fitness, providing users with an excellent audio-visual entertainment life. It can allow users to watch for more than 100 years.

In addition, it is not just the quantity of content that has an advantage. In terms of content quality, the CAN UI smart TV operating system also provides video clarity up to 4K resolution and extremely stable online network transmission capabilities, which is enough to fully utilize the hardware advantages of the outstanding screen and sound unit of the Kanshang TV C42 Pro.

Finally, CAN OS also has international channels covering multi-language programs such as English, French, Spanish and Arabic, reflecting the unique advantage of 64 languages ​​on the content side, and the educational content for children is deeply in line with the new usage scenarios of smart TVs in home environments. It can be said that with the support of all-round strong content, Kanshang TV C42 Pro gives the whole family more reasons to stay in the living room.

A small-size TV masterpiece that combines the advantages of both hardware and software

Overall, in terms of hardware and content, Kanshang TV has maintained a high standard in manufacturing technology even for small-sized TVs, and its audio-visual level has risen to a higher level compared to TVs of the same size. Its built-in CAN UI smart TV operating system not only incorporates a number of artificial intelligence technologies, but is also easy to operate and can be used by both the elderly and children. Relying on CIBN Internet TV, which has the richest film and television resources in the industry, Kanshang TV C42 Pro has the advantages of both hardware and software.
