Unexpectedly wonderful Damai TV D55S first national test

Operators and smart TVs, two things that seem to be unrelated, have become closely linked after Dr. Peng announced the release of Damai TV earlier this year.

After a lapse of several months, Damai TV D55s finally stepped out of the promotional pages and officially arrived. The time to reveal its true face has finally arrived.

Appearance experience:

The most intuitive feeling given by the outer packaging of Damai TV D55s is that it is big. In addition to the product picture of the TV host, the words "Damai TV" and "D55s" are particularly eye-catching.

On the side of the package, we can see all the trademark logos associated with Damai TV, including the well-known Dolby, Wi-Fi, USB3.0, as well as the licensee Galaxy and the content provider iQiyi.

The 55-inch screen size is the reason why Damai TV labels its model number as D55s.

The front design of Damai TV D55s does not have too many fancy elements, but the huge screen area still looks domineering.

The feet under the TV have a high-gloss smooth surface on the outer side, and the "D" logo of Damai TV is low-key set at the lower left of the screen.

The narrow bezel design is a major feature of Damai TV D55s. When we compared it with an ordinary pen, it was indeed shocking.

The Damai TV emphasizes a split design, and its rich accessories are also a highlight of the product. The length of the heavy audio unit even exceeds the height of a 55-inch TV.

In addition to the external audio system, core components such as processor chips are also independent of the TV in a form similar to a TV box.

The metal back panel design of Damai TV D55s is extremely simple, almost one-piece molding without any obvious exposed interfaces. The four screw holes are intended for wall-mounted installation.

If you don’t look carefully, it may be difficult to notice that there is a faint embossed “D” logo in the center of the metal back cover of the Damai TV.

The body of Damai TV D55s is so thin that you can barely put a pen on the top of the machine. The design of the back that slightly protrudes in the center and is tightened around the edges is somewhat similar to the Apple iMac all-in-one computer with its stunning industrial design.

The feet, fixed with two screws, appear particularly sturdy and stable.

Thanks to the split avant-garde design, Damai TV has only two interfaces: power and the unique DOMYLINK.

The cable that comes with the DOMYLINY interface is similar to the common HDMI cable, but the connector is wider than the latter. Due to the inclined design of the interface, the connector cannot be inserted all the way to the end.

Common interface configurations including network cable, HDMI, and USB interfaces are concentrated in the external box device. In addition to providing USB3.0 interfaces for higher speeds, the total number of interfaces is also quite rich.

The external box is connected to the external speaker via an AUX cable. The AUX cable that comes standard with the product is gold-plated on both ends, showing its sincerity.

The remote control that comes with Damai TV D55s combines digital buttons with some shortcut buttons designed for smart operating systems. In addition to the voice button being placed in a very conspicuous position, the one-button sweep button is also not common in TV products.

The remote is powered by two AAA batteries, but it's a bit disappointing that they are not included.

System Early Bird:

At the launch of Damai TV, the system became the top priority when introducing the product, and after the "D" screen when it was turned on for the first time, we did see some different elements.

The welcome interface of Damai TV when you first use it is very similar to the first use of Windows 8. The eye-catching prompts and constantly changing colors make the boot interface no longer monotonous.

When you turn it on for the first time, you need to set up the Bluetooth connection of the remote control. The connection method is quite unique: press and hold the channel and volume down buttons at the same time.

Damai TV D55s supports dual-band Wi-Fi, but like most smart TV products, the complex on-screen keyboard input is still not user-friendly enough.

After powering on, the display source provides four options: local home page, HDMI, AV, and USB.

In terms of content, Damai TV mainly provides users with high-quality resources in three aspects: videos, applications, and games. Galaxy Internet TV and exclusive cloud gaming projects are both reflected in the products.

In terms of the detailed design of the system, Damai has put more thought into it compared to other smart TV products.

The dynamic effects in the icon list allow users to more clearly understand whether the list has slid to the last item on the boundary.

In the search menu, Damai TV has carried out secondary development and optimization of the input method. In addition to directly placing popular searches in a prominent position, the input format of first letter and five-word segments also greatly improves the search efficiency.

In the App's installation interface, in addition to the beautiful frosted glass effects on the application details page, the operation from selection to installation is simple and quick, requiring only one step.

The independent one-touch clear button on the Damai TV remote control can achieve the same background clearing function as Android smartphones, avoiding system freezes caused by too many useless background programs to the greatest extent.

Summarize:

If most people think that operators' TVs are similar to "getting a box for free when you sign up for cable TV", then the Damai TV D55s can be said to be enough to exceed many people's psychological expectations.

The outstanding appearance craftsmanship, outstanding system design and the "split" product concept rarely seen in the smart TV industry are all eye-catching. Perhaps this is why Dr. Peng, as an operator, was so confident in Damai TV when it was first released.
