When we discuss electronic products, there is a very popular word called: "The first ***of young people". What do young people like? Of course, it is the most trendy technology, the most top hardware experience, and the most stylish appearance. However, to judge whether this product has the "light one" attribute, the most important thing is the price. While pursuing a high-quality experience, young people are more willing to calculate the ratio of production and spend money on the cutting edge. The products that have obtained such a title have also been subjected to more demanding scrutiny.
Soon, not only digital products, but also the "light one" trend began to roll into home appliances, travel, and even stocks. Taking television as an example, there are many options for buying a TV that "makes friends with young people", but if you want to buy a TV that does not fool young people, it may not be easy.
Recently released by TCL, a new product with the highest quality-price ratio of the same size and full performance, TCL T7E true high brush TV, can it become our "light one" choice?
High brush screen = high paste screen?
In the "light one" trend, the combination of specifications and pulling parameters has become the inner volume track of many digital products, but sometimes high specifications do not mean high-quality experience. Some time ago, we shared with you about the pit of TV high brush, which is the use of DLG and HSR and other technologies to "upgrade" the 60Hz panel to 120Hz.
DLG technology reduces the rendering accuracy of vertical pixels, rendering only odd rows (or even rows), and then copying the data of odd rows to even rows for display.
The basic principle of HSR and DLG is similar, the same is to compress longitudinal pixels, only render odd rows (or even rows), while even rows fuse information from adjacent two rows for display, the display accuracy will be relatively better. If you are interested in these two low-to-high refresh techniques, you can click on the link to read the technical details. Turn on 120Hz, is your 4K TV still 4K?
It is not difficult to see that the change from 60Hz to 120Hz is a premise for sacrificing image quality, and the resolution of the vertical direction is reduced by half, which will inevitably affect the perception and use experience.
The lack of hardware specifications is fatal for the high brush experience, and even worse for TVs of 75 or even higher sizes. The resolution is fixed, and the size of the TV continues to increase, which means that the size of individual pixels is also getting larger, and the fineness of the picture will be reduced. And in the e-sports entertainment scene, the use distance will be closer than the viewing distance, so the impact of picture clarity on the use experience will be amplified twice. Therefore, only when the giant screen TV is equipped with blood-filled high-brush hardware can it be called a true high-brush TV.
There is a shutter time in the shooting, which is different from the actual perception
60Hz and 120Hz are usually commonly used panels in the supply chain, while TCL T7E uses 4K 144Hz LCD panels on the entire range of products, which means that this TV cannot be bottled with old wine like other brands, and needs to be rebuilt from the outside in. In order to be able to achieve a full-channel 144Hz output, TCL T7E is equipped with a T9652 PLUS chip that supports 144Hz high-brush mode, and the high-performance chip also improves the AI processing power on the picture quality; in addition, the TV also uses a full-blood version of the 48Gbps bandwidth HDMI2.1 interface, which realizes the full-link high-brush channel from the panel, to the processing chip, and then to the input interface, whether it is using streaming media, local resources, or external hosts. Game boxes are all available for a smooth visual experience.
144Hz screen with full BUFF
It is not easy to provide a full-scenario 4K 144Hz display, requiring not only hardware support, but also excellent software tuning. After a period of experience of T7E, it is worth affirming that it is accurate and restrained in high brush control, it is not the use of a one-size-fits-all high brush algorithm, all the pictures are directly pulled up to 144Hz, but try to approach the creative intention of film and television, such as 24 frames of movies, 30 frames of streaming media, 60 frames of high-definition video will be played at the original frame rate, in the fast motion of the scene is not easy to appear screen tearing, rotten frame phenomenon. The actual measurement adjusts the motion compensation to the low level, which has a good compensation for the coherence of the picture, better restores the sense of motion of the picture and is not easy to appear in the picture jump.
Thanks to the T7E's ultra-low response time of 1.2ms, it can make the high-speed and consistent picture without long smearing, and also preserve the clarity of the font line. It should be noted that when using 60Hz and 120Hz TVs to play such sources, the gap between the two is very obvious.
Note: Shooting and transcoding frame rates are compressed
This 75-inch TCL T7E is also very good in sharpness in dark video scenes. The biggest credit is still the minimum brightness of this screen, only 0.04nits! Therefore, the contrast of the whole picture can be stretched very wide, in the LCD Terminator "Game of Thrones" video, the face details of the characters will not be affected by the backlight, and the whole picture will be black, bright, and delicate enough.
This 144Hz screen color gamut reaches 130% (BT.709), equivalent to 96% DCI-P3 color gamut, in addition to supporting Dolby Atmos + DTS high-specification content playback, the TV also increases the Dolby Vision IQ intelligent light sense, and has HDR family bucket (DOLBY VISION HDR / HDR HLG / HDR10 / HDR 10+), watch TV when the lights are on or during the day when it is brighter. The AI chip can dynamically adjust the contrast of the picture according to the ambient brightness, and the picture perception at this time already has the taste of OLED. It can be said that whether it is color accuracy, clarity, contrast, or fluency, correspondence, field of view, T7E is an impressive one of so many TVs we have tested.
The most abundant scene of high-brush TV applications is of course the game link, and T7E also has a very powerful software adaptation and optimization for this scene. T7E is equipped with VRR+ALLM technology to cope with the changing frame rate of games; the use of AMD Freesync Premium and Dolby Vision Gamming game display dual-protocol certification to reduce game latency; and TCL's exclusive electric blue game quality engine, which is deeply AI-optimized for game quality, and can also have a host-level top game quality experience in more than 1500 cloud games.
Which size is the most "light one" temperament?
The answer to this is certainly the 98-inch T7E. The biggest difference between 98 inches and other sizes is that while the configuration is full, it also achieves the price of the same size butcher, and the new product debut price is only 15999 yuan! (Of course, other sizes are also very conscientious, 55-inch new products start price of 3299 yuan, 65-inch new products start price of 4399 yuan, 75-inch new products start price of 6499 yuan, 85-inch new products start price of 7999 yuan). The most important upgrade of the 98T7E is the Local Dimming multi-partition light control, which is what we call partition backlighting, with 192 partitions. The maximum brightness has been increased to 800nits, so its dynamic contrast performance has also increased to 8000000:1. The 98T7E's Hi-Fi 2.1 sound, consisting of 50W 7-unit speakers and an oversized stroke subwoofer, creates a surround sound field, eliminating the need for additional amplifier sound.
In terms of materials, the large size has not shrunk, and the whole series is consistent, and the boundless full screen design adopted is still a metal frame + metal base, so the weight has reached an astonishing 62.6Kg. However, the location and installation of the 98-inch behemoth does not need us to worry, T7E after-sales comes with free survey, delivery to the home, installation and other VIP exclusive services, one-click order, the TV can "carry the bag into the household".

What should a real high-brush TV look like?
The high brush achieved at the expense of picture quality is definitely a transitional product of the times. The word "full channel 4K ***Hz" appears more and more frequently in the introduction page of the newly released tv new products, and the high-brush TV that can flaunt the "full channel" must not dare to shrink in terms of hardware configuration, so this label is the consensus title of high-quality high-brush TV at present, which can reduce the difficulty of our purchase. But what we hope more is that in the future promotion of various brands, the secret code of "full channel" will not be abused, leaving a recognizable backdoor for our consumers.
144Hz panel, high brush T9652 Plus high chip, full channel 4K 144Hz soft and hard combination, T7E in all aspects of the hardware comparison quality fighting experience, this blood cost of the configuration and lower than the price of similar products, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion, that is, TCL and other upstream leading companies have gradually attached importance to the high brush experience on the TV, and strive to promote the advancement of the era of high brush giant screen. We are confident that in the future, there will be more and more products, from the "first of young people" to the camp of "the first one of young people", to meet the digital experience that our group of young people love. #TCL TV ##TCL T7E TV Review ##第一台不忽悠年轻人的真高刷电视 #
