In the past year, whether it is display equipment or photography video equipment has been fully toward the 4K ultra-high-definition specifications, and 4K TV's share in the global market has also been increasing, indicating that the ultra high-definition high-definition audio and video era is the mainstream trend in the future, And now it's happening quickly. LG is a pioneer of 4K ultra-high definition television. Whether it is an OLED 4K model or an LED liquid crystal model, it has excellent evaluation and performance. In the second half of 2015, LG once again introduced a new generation of 4K LED TVs. The 65EF950V we reviewed this time is the latest flagship model. Regardless of picture quality, sound effects, smart applications, and operating systems, it is a top-notch level. Let us deeply feel the rapid progress of audio-visual technology in the evaluation process, and it really gives life More fun.
Design
65EF950V follows the LG style, using a very narrow frame design, so although it is a 65-inch large-size TV, but the fuselage did not make people feel heavy, and the proportion of high proportion of the screen also brings better viewing experience. The back is very simple, and is very beautiful white, right below is a variety of connection interfaces, including HDMI, USB, color, AV AV terminals, optical audio output, LAN, headphone output terminals, etc., is extremely rich, and in addition to passable LAN Wired mode link network, 65EF950V also supports Wi-Fi wireless network applications.
The 65EF950V uses LG's exclusive Ultra Slim technology, so although it is a UHD 4K ultra-high-definition panel TV model, the 65EF950V is quite thin. If it is wall-mounted, it is more visually pleasing to the wall.
The new remote control has more physical digital keys, allowing users to set and select the process to facilitate the home, and the new remote control bottom flat, but also can be taken upright place, not only save space, but also easy for users to immediately see access. The 65EF950V supports 3D stereoscopic display. It also includes 3D stereoscopic glasses at random. Due to the polarized 3D design, the glasses are very light and thin, and they are easy to wear. Because of the polarized 3D display technology, there is no flickering when viewed. Long-term viewing is less likely to cause eye fatigue.
Use and picture quality
Use and picture quality
Now, we have some understanding of the 65EF950V exterior design and its peripheral accessories. This time, LG has made many changes to the new generation of 4K TVs. However, apart from the knowledge of hardware, appearance and technology, it is good for us. The television type, its provided menu items and content of the content, absolutely have a key value, so let everyone understand the menu settings of this TV.
The first is of course the setting of the screen section. After entering from the main menu, you can see that the settings in the screen include the screen mode, 3D mode, energy saving mode, etc. The project does not seem to be much, but actually LG's approach is to The deep adjustments are placed on the sub-menu page. This also allows users who are not familiar with the adjustment of TV parameters, and do not need to see complex parameter adjustment items.

This also allows users who are not familiar with the adjustment of TV parameters, and do not need to see complex parameter adjustment items.
In the main page of the screen adjustment, we choose "ISF Professional Mode 1". This mode is characterized by the opening of almost all the relevant parameters of the picture quality, allowing the user to make fine adjustments one by one to obtain the picture that best suits their preferences. quality.
Among them, we must particularly note that although the two parameters of backlight and brightness determine the screen brightness, but the backlight parameter is to directly adjust the backlight source, but the brightness is to adjust the panel, so if you really need a higher brightness display, it is recommended to adjust the backlight parameters first To 100, according to their own viewing body brightness settings.
There is a professional setting option under the first page of the screen parameters. After clicking, you can enter the next page. From this list, the dynamic contrast, super resolution, color gamut and edge enhancement functions, Gamma, white balance, etc., are believed to be senior. Video players should be quite happy because LG provides all key parameters to the user. In this way, you can adjust your own preferences for the picture more accurately.

In the parameters of the screen adjustment, the most important deduction of brightness and contrast is color-related adjustment, and the 65EF950V provides two items of white balance and color management system, allowing users to saturate the three primary colors of RGB and the six colors of RGBCMY. Degrees, brightness, and chroma are set separately, so the correct color display can be adjusted regardless of the lighting environment.
Sound effects
Although most people only use the effect of screen performance as an evaluation criterion, when the television is already a home audio/video entertainment center, the audio performance of the TV itself is very important. The 65EF950V not only cooperates with the famous audio brand Harman Kardon, but also provides Very rich sound modes and detailed parameters allow users to adjust.
Among the clear vocals, the comparative suggestion can be used when listening to news anchors to cover news and watch speech videos. With regard to Ultra surround sound, our evaluation process often stays open because it creates a sense of compassion that is natural and does not leave people with a deliberately left-right bias. 65EF950V also allows users to set the equalizer so that users can adjust the equalizer to achieve the most pleasing sound effects regardless of the viewing space.
3D
The 65EF950V also supports 3D display and 2D to 3D. Among them, 2D to 3D have multiple modes, depending on the format, and can be set by the user. In addition, depending on the type of user viewing the video, the original factory also has 4 built-in 3D modes to provide settings. If the user has his/her favorite mode for viewing 3D video effects, he can also switch to manual mode and adjust the depth of field and viewpoint automatically.

Click, pull, and open different services. Among the LG content stores, there are many built-in video and audio channels. In addition, there are also free 3D video clips to watch, allowing users who do not have 3D movies at hand to experience 3D stereoscopic display.

YouTube's same experience on mobile devices.
In addition to YouTube, users can also access the Internet through the 65EF950V built-in browser, and use the Chinese and English virtual keyboard for content search. However, due to the high resolution of the 4K screen, most web pages are displayed with smaller screens. At this time, you can also use the remote control cursor to select the magnifying glass icon to perform web page zoom setting.
Since the 65EF950V can be directly networked, it can also be connected to other computers and mobile devices through the local area network. The 65EF950V is equipped with three USB ports, so the user can also connect the optical disk and mobile hard disk to the TV, and these external devices are stored.

With such diversified functions and various professional settings, I believe that some people who are just beginning to contact smart TVs may feel confused. However, LG has set up usage guides on TVs, so even if it is how to adjust video parameters or how There is a problem with the TV's online network. It is also very easy to click on the remote controller to select the category in the user guide and find the answer.

During the evaluation process, we not only used Blu-ray movies, Full HD video files to understand TV performance, but also used YouTube to search for 4K videos and played them on the 65EF950V. We knew that this TV was 2K and 4K when it was the original source. How is the picture effect? As for the audio part, the 65EF950V emphasizes the design and certification of famous audio Harman Kardon. Of course, people are very much looking forward to it. Most people watch TV based on video, so the reference for audio performance also comes from the movie.
When playing the test film "Lucy", 65EF950V picture is very sharp, the texture of the skin is very clear, after the special makeup of the eyes in the blue pattern is also distinct, even though the original film source is only 2K resolution, but through the built-in 65EF950V l Frequency processing, the screen performance is still amazing.
