Page 1 Product Introduction, Test Methods

1. Evaluation Introduction

As the times progress, innovative technologies continue to emerge. As a high-tech home appliance, TV has undergone tremendous changes every year in recent years. In 2014, the competition is getting more and more fierce. The high-end smart TV market is in a fierce battle. Is it the hardware that wins? Or is the system experience king? Konka TV gave consumers a different answer. On August 18, 2014, Konka TV released its new product, the Yi TV slim ultra-thin TV, which is the world's thinnest LED TV.

The world's thinnest LED TV

Konka's Yi TV slim ultra-thin TV has a superb craftsmanship to create an ultra-thin body of 1.28cm, with a frame width of only 0.78cm, a full metal frame, and a high-gloss tempered glass back panel, which is elegant and sturdy. In terms of hardware configuration, Konka Yi TV slim is also not inferior, using LGD 4K high color gamut hard screen, one chip chip, leading 10-core super configuration, 4-core A9 architecture CPU, 6-core Mali-450 GPU, 28nm manufacturing process, 802.11ac standard dual-band wifi, Bluetooth 4.0, faster transmission speed and longer distance. The entire Yi TV slim series covers 43 inches, 50 inches, 55 inches, and 65 inches. The new Konka Yi TV slim TV received by Tianji.com's home appliance channel is model LED55X8800U, which is the 55-inch model.

Unlike in the past, this time we did not conduct regular tests, but played a different trick and set up ten extremely difficult violent tests to see if Konka TV slim can pass the challenge smoothly? Is the TV as fragile as we imagined? Do we have to worry about damage if the children at home touch it? Let's put it to the test.

Test items:

1. Radiation protection test

2. High temperature resistance test

3. Fire test

4. Waterproof and high salt humidity test

5. Heavy dust test

6. High pressure test

7. Impact test

8. Ultra-thinness test

9. Drop test

10. Lightning protection test

Some test tools:

2. Ultra-thin luxury design

Konka TV slim LED55X8800U adopts a gold seamless bent integrated full metal frame design with a frame width of only 0.78cm, abandoning the heavy edges of traditional TV appearance.

It is reported that the frame material used in Konka TV slim LED55X8800U has gone through 58 processes and 203 operations to create such an ultra-thin, strong and tough metal frame.

Konka TV slim LED55X8800U, it is said that its frame width is only 0.78cm and the body is as thin as 1.28cm!

Konka TV slim LED55X8800U uses the same fully laminated high-gloss tempered glass back panel as the iPhone 5S, which has many solid and safe features such as fireproof, waterproof and dustproof. Many of the violent tests we are going to conduct below are aimed at this.

We all know that the design difficulty and cost of a product will increase exponentially with every 1mm thinner it is made. Konka SLIM can achieve extreme thinness. What are the unconventional tests of such an ultra-thin TV? Let's start playing, Let's dance!

3. Radiation protection test

The testing should be carried out step by step. We will start with challenges with lower difficulty, starting with the radiation protection test.

The thinner the product, the smaller the space that can be designed, the more compact the arrangement of internal components, and the higher the manufacturing difficulty. Can Konka TV slim maintain good radiation shielding while being so thin?

Here, the test tool we need to use is the electromagnetic field strength tester.

We first tested the electromagnetic field strength in an ordinary indoor environment, and the test data was 0.069 microtesla. According to relevant information, experts believe that the safe value of the magnetic field should not be higher than 0.4 microtesla (t), otherwise children will face the risk of illness.

Then bring the instrument close to Konka Slim TV, test the close-range radiation, and obtain random values, maximum test values, and minimum test values.

Test results: Combining the maximum, minimum and random values ​​measured above, we get the test data result of 0.1805 microtesla. It can be seen that although Konka TV slim is very thin, its radiation shielding is still very good and it is very safe, so there is no need to worry!

4. High temperature resistance test

As we all know, the thinner the product, the smaller the heat dissipation space, and the more difficult it is to place the heat dissipation equipment inside. How does Konka SLIM, which is much thinner than ordinary TVs, dissipate heat? Can it still work normally under high temperature conditions?

Test method:

Place the Konka TV slim next to an electric heater, keep it turned on, and test the temperature to verify the TV's ability to work in high-temperature environments. Use a thermal imager to test the temperature to see if it can work normally under high temperatures.

We pointed the electric heater at the TV and continued to heat it. After about five minutes, the temperature of the tempered glass back cover of the TV had risen to about 60 degrees Celsius, which is much higher than the ambient temperature in summer.

At this time, we can see that Konka TV slim can still work normally at a high temperature of more than 60 degrees.

Test results: Although Konka TV slim has an extremely thin body design and a very small internal space, it can still maintain excellent heat dissipation and can run stably for a long time even in high temperature environments, which makes people feel at ease.

Page 5 Fire Safety Test

5. Fire safety test

In daily life, fire tragedies caused by short circuits and other reasons in household appliances occur from time to time. So is the high-end Konka SLIM safe in terms of fire prevention?

After testing the high temperature environment, you may feel that it is not enough, it is just a little sun, only more than 60 degrees, people often bake. Then, we will satisfy your wish and use a flamethrower to really burn it, to test whether Konka TV can withstand the high temperature of hundreds of degrees.

The back cover of Konka TV slim uses the same fully laminated high-gloss tempered glass as the iPhone 5S, which is fire-resistant. The plastic back cover of ordinary TVs cannot withstand such burning.

When the flame of the spray gun was burned back and forth on the Konka TV slim, there would be traces left after passing through. The editor was startled and thought it was burnt. After removing the spray gun, the burning traces disappeared quickly. It turned out that they were residues such as water vapor left after the flame burned.

Test results: By using an open flame test, we can see that the back shell material of Konka TV slim has flame retardant properties. As a home appliance, Konka SLIM's fire resistance is much stronger than other TVs and is very safe.

Here is a gif animation we made from several live pictures:

6. Waterproof and high salt humidity test

After testing the temperature and fire resistance, we will give Konka TV slim a waterproof test, playing a duet of ice and fire, no, a song of ice and fire.

The south is famous for its return of the south wind, and some high-end homes near the sea have to face the invasion of high-salt (corrosive) moisture. In this project, we will let Konka TV slim soak in air full of moisture and salt to see if it can still work normally.

Add salt and test the environment humidity at 64%

Use an air heater, add water and a large amount of edible salt to simulate a high humidity and high salt humidity environment, and test whether Konka SLIM can be used normally.

Before the test, we used a temperature and humidity tester to test the ambient temperature, which was about 60%. After using the air humidifier for a period of time, the test value rose to about 74-77%.

In an environment with 97% humidity, Konka TV slim can still work normally without fear of high humidity.

The humidity was measured, but what about the salt? After the test, some particles left on the LCD screen and metal frame of the TV were left after the water evaporated. When I wiped them with my hands, I found that they were salt. The simulation of a high-salt air environment was successful.

Test results: Konka's high-end SLIM is not only suitable for high-end residences in South China, but also for luxury residences near the sea. It is not afraid of high-salinity and humidity invasion, and the corrosion resistance of the frame, body and screen is not affected.

Page 7 Heavy Dust Test

7. Heavy dust test

Sometimes we have to face heavy dust environment, in which case many electronic products will stop working, either due to heat dissipation problems or affecting the motherboard circuit. So how does Konka's ultra-thin SLIM perform in heavy dust environment?

Create a heavy dust environment, then keep turning on the machine and continue adding dust to see if it can continue to work. Then turn the machine off and on again to see if it can start normally.

We use flour to simulate heavy dust environments and test PM values. Of course, flour particles are not as small as PM2.5. We mainly observe the changes in PM10 data.

We tested the dust content in the indoor environment, and the PM10 was 151 micrograms per cubic meter, and the PM2.5 was 75 micrograms per cubic meter. Is this value good or bad? According to relevant information, the World Health Organization believes that a PM2.5 value of less than 10 is a safe value. The editor's current working environment has seriously exceeded the standard...

In this test, the PM10 value soared to 389 and the PM2.5 value soared to 192. At this time, Konka TV slim was still working normally.

Test results : Konka TV slim is no problem for heavily dusty homes or heavily dusty environments that are not cleaned often.

Page 8 High Pressure Test

8. High pressure test

The thinner something is, of course, the easier it is to bend or break. So what about the ultra-thin Konka SLIM?

Place the TV horizontally, prop up both ends with pillars, keep it on, place heavy objects in the middle of the screen to see how heavy it can be and whether the body is deformed, to verify the TV's ability to withstand pressure.

Will such a big discus break Konka TV slim's slender waist?

When Konka TV slim is placed at both ends, it has a slight downward bend in the middle due to its own gravity. Can it still bear the weight? It is worrying, because although the iPhone is thin, it is also bent a lot!

Let’s have a 5KG cake first, it’s okay!

First put a 5KG heavy object, Konka TV slim was safe and sound and successfully bore the load.

Under the pressure of a 5KG weight, Konka TV slim is slightly bent and the two ends are slightly raised. Let's change to a 10KG one and see how it works.

After a 10-kg weight was placed on it, Konka TV slim shook a little but was still safe and sound and landed successfully, but the gaps at both ends became larger.

Test results: Although the body of Konka TV slim is extremely thin, it is of high quality and the product is sturdy, which makes people feel at ease.

Page 9 Impact Test

9. Impact test

After the above pressure test, some netizens may say that you only tested the back shell, which is not convincing at all. Well, let's test the impact resistance of the front LCD screen of Konka TV slim. How to test it? Aim at the screen and kick it with a big foot!

Evaluation method and content: (Prepare the picture of the football goal in advance)

Impact test: keep the TV turned on and kick a football towards the TV to verify the impact resistance of the TV screen.

Konka TV slim impact test: Can it withstand shots?

Konka SLIM TV is designed to be ultra-thin. We all know that the thinner the product, the weaker its impact resistance. So how does Konka SLIM, which is much thinner than many TVs, resist impact? Will the screen shatter if it is hit by a shot?

preparation

shoot!

During the test, several unscrupulous editors came to join in the fun. You shot and I kicked, and the popping sounds made the editors tremble with fear.

Rebound

Test results: Although Konka TV slim adopts an extremely thin design, the product is sturdy and of high quality. Even if the front of the screen is hit by a high-speed football, it will remain safe and sound and can work normally without fear of impact.

Here is the usual gif animation:

10. Ultra-thinness test

Next, let's do something a little more relaxing - an entertaining violence test. Can a TV cut a watermelon? Of course it can, as long as it's thin enough!

Place the TV vertically and turn it on, then drop it from above to see if the cut of the watermelon is smooth. This can verify the thinness of the TV.

First, cut the cucumber. Smash the cucumber against the top of the Konka TV slim body. It will crack with a snap. The cuts are neat. Here are the animated pictures:

Now comes the highlight of this test: cutting watermelon! Faced with a watermelon with a rough skin and thick flesh, can Konka TV slim cut it smoothly?

Konka TV slim successfully cut the watermelon in half without smashing it into pieces. Here is a Gif:

Test results: From this entertaining test, we can see that Konka SLIM TV is indeed extremely thin. If you don't believe it, try it on your TV.

11. Lightning protection test

In thunderstorms, some household appliances with poor lightning protection performance are often damaged by lightning, or even cause fires. So how is the lightning protection performance of Konka TV slim?

Oh, my krypton gold dog eyes...

Well, actually this is also an entertaining and funny test, just to make everyone laugh~

Konka TV slim, no matter how bad it is, it will not fail~

Page 12 Drop Test

12. Drop test

The last item is the drop test. This time it is not an entertainment test. We will lift the Konka TV slim to a height of 70cm and then let it fall freely to test its anti-drop performance.

We packed the Konka TV slim into boxes and then lifted it horizontally to a height of 70 cm.

Now comes the exciting drop test. Will it break? So many violent tests before didn’t break it, so will this one break?

raise

Let go! Bang!

In order to make everyone feel comfortable, here is the gif as usual:

Then unpack the packaged Konka TV slim again, install it, and power it on to see if it can still work normally and whether it is damaged.

The impatient editor connected the Konka TV slim to a power source before it was fully unpacked, and then the screen lit up~

Test results: The packaging of Konka TV slim is very firm and reliable. It will not be damaged even if it is accidentally dropped during transportation.

Page 13 Strong Drop Test

13. Strong drop test

After reading the drop test above, some netizens may say, what kind of drop test is this? The packaging is well packed, it can't be damaged at all! Don't worry, the next is a real drop test, the naked phone falls freely from a height of 70cm to see if it can be damaged!

Moreover, this time we did not drop the more durable glass panel back cover, but dropped the front side - the fragile LCD screen!

For this drop test, we sprinkled some flour on the ground (leftover from the previous dust test) so that we can see the effect of the drop more intuitively when taking photos and videos .

After testing the height and getting all the cameras in place and making all the necessary preparations, we shouted 123 and started to drop the TV. As a result, the two editors did not move in unison, and one side of the TV landed first. I hope it won't break...

123 Let go! The movements are not consistent...

There was smoke and dust all over the ground, it looked like the fall was serious!

As usual, the following is a coherent gif animation:

Because the two did not let go at the same time, the perfectionist editors decided to try again to see if they could let go at the same time.

Try again in a different position, and someone lets go first again...

It must have broken after falling twice!

The landing posture is pretty good this time, I wonder if it will crack the LCD screen? I am looking forward to it!

Of course, the most important thing is whether it can boot up normally, so turn on the power and try it!

I plugged it in and it actually worked! The boot screen appeared, and after a while, it entered the system, and everything was normal!

The editors were very nervous during the naked drop test, as they were afraid of breaking it but also wanted to break it. However, it turned out that the Konka TV Slim is very sturdy. Even if it fell from a high place on a table, it did not break and still worked normally. The quality is indeed excellent.
