Samsung Tizen system surface flagship TV evaluation: simple and expensive operation

Abstract: The Samsung UA65JS9900 represents the highest level of Samsung smart TVs today, whether it is design, quality or the latest Tizen operating system.




In April of this year, Samsung's 2015 new SUHD TV was officially launched in China. Among the most popular surface products are the JS9900 and JS9800 series, which have a total of 55 inches, 65 inches, 78 inches, and 88 inches. What we want to experience today is the 65-inch Samsung UA65JS9900 in the Samsung JS9900 series.

The JS9900 series is the highest-end series of surface SUHD TVs launched by Samsung this year. Apart from the frightening $44,999 price of the 65-inch UA65JS9900, the new Tizen operating system can bring the same experience to the aircraft. An important direction to pay attention to.

Inclined corner frame makes a difference


One impression of this Samsung UA65JS9900 is a word: big. As you can see from the picture, its screen width has exceeded a small coffee table. Therefore, if you want to move it is not an easy thing, at least you can not do it alone. In addition, the aircraft and other small-size TV, also has four screw holes, can be used for wall-mounted, but I would like to ask, 65-inch TV is also used for hanging it?



In terms of details, the biggest difference in the appearance of the TV is the use of a chamfered corner frame, which claims to increase the depth and depth of the screen. Whether we can really say this, we dare not say it, and there is not a quantitative indicator, but it cannot be denied that this newly designed border does enhance the three-dimensional aspect of the screen, making the overall look more stylish.

In addition, the design of the base of the aircraft is also quite new, although it seems that there is only a one-piece V-shaped bracket, but the material of the metal is very strong, has a strong stability, can fully support this piece of 65 inches Big screen.

In addition to the four screw holes just mentioned on the back of the fuselage, only one key is the power switch and supports four-dimensional operation options. The reason why the back of the Samsung UA65JS9900 is so concise is mainly due to the continuation of the design of the junction box and the transfer of all interfaces to the One Connect box.



It can be seen that the One Connect box has three USB 3.0 interfaces, four HDMI interfaces, one fiber interface, one network cable interface, one TV antenna interface, one component input interface, and one IR output interface, which can fully meet the conventional expansion requirements of homes. . It is also worth noting that while Samsung did not emphasize the upgrade feature of the One Connect box as it did before, I discovered during the experience that the TV could not be booted normally without connecting the box. This situation is exactly the same as before.

Remote control air rat experience

When it comes to operating experience, we first focus on the remote control. As the Samsung smart TVs have received more attention in recent years, the random remote controllers are naturally used. Overall, Samsung TV has spent a lot of thought on the remote control in these two years. I do not know if you still remember, 13 years, Samsung TV remote control gave me only one feeling: exquisite workmanship. Last year, Samsung TV cancelled the touchpad on the remote control and added an empty mouse. By this year, the remote control of the Samsung UA65JS9900 not only had a certain slimming appearance, but also experienced an air mouse operation experience that was greatly improved.



As you can see from the picture above, the remote control of the Samsung UA65JS9900 is more slender and more comfortable than before. In addition, the entire remote controller is mainly based on the realization of functions, and there are not many complicated digital keys, etc. Basically, it is a “fool type” that does not require learning.



It is worth mentioning that the remote control has a very big improvement in the air mouse operation experience compared to the previous generation. As long as the finger holds down the cursor area, a cursor will appear on the TV screen, and the cursor is following the remote control. When the device is moved, there is no such "erratic" feeling in similar products. It can be regarded as one of the best remote control devices I have ever used.

Of course, Samsung UA65JS9900 also supports voice and gesture operations, but in my opinion, their experience is not as direct as the remote control.

Multi-screen interconnection is simple


In fact, similar to multi-screen Internet applications such as this is not to say that the flagship Samsung smart TV, is the current hundreds of dollars of ordinary TV boxes can also be achieved, it is not surprising. Samsung UA65JS9900 also provides a variety of mobile devices and television connection methods, including ScreenMirroring, WiFi Direct, Sanmsung Link, DLNA, etc. We only experienced the ScreenMirroring screen mirroring function.

It should be noted that the screen mirroring function only supports Samsung mobile phones, but the whole connection process is relatively simple. When your mobile phone and television are in the same network environment, you only need to open the Screen Mirroring function of the mobile phone and search for the TV.



Once connected, you will see several options on your phone's screen, from mobile devices to TVs, TVs to mobile devices, control TVs, and more. For example, if you choose a mobile device to your TV, you can easily play video, audio, and other files on your phone on your TV. Through the actual experience, as long as the network is open, there is basically no case of stalling and the playback is very smooth.

On the whole, since various multi-screen interconnection technologies have been developed and matured, they can still be satisfactorily achieved regardless of actual operation or experience. But I always think that the actual use of this kind of internet application is really not very high for the family. Anyway, I haven't found a reason why I have to play videos or photos on my mobile phone.

Tizen system is super simple but doesn't have many applications


The next thing to talk about is the focus: the Tizen operating system. Samsung announced that all Samsung Smart TVs in 2015 will be equipped with the new Tizen operating system. Samsung said earlier that the Samsung Smart TV equipped with the Tizen operating system is smarter and easier to use. It can intuitively and succinctly present the user's desired content, providing the user with a complete entertainment experience and multiple content choices.



In fact, Samsung TV has been exploring the operating system for the first few years. The operating system used by Samsung TV was not our common Android system. Instead, it was equipped with its own intelligent system based on Linux. Objectively speaking, the previous system has basically reached a satisfactory level after a series of upgrades. The reason why Samsung is also strong in the TV products to join their own Tizen operating system, mainly to get rid of the shackles of Android, to build their own complete ecological chain. Although the Tizen operating system repeatedly beat the ticket before, it can be described as "the fate of Ecuador", but in the end the Tizen operating system still came to the TV, which for Samsung TV, and even the entire Samsung ecosystem also played an active role.

According to previous data, Tizen is a standardized open platform. The newly designed Smart Hub navigation makes content access easier and faster. The user can use the first level interface to display the program recently used by the user at the bottom of the screen, and provide more entertainment options for the user through the customized content suggestion.



Indeed, in my actual experience I discovered that the Tizen operating system is different from all the smart TV systems I have seen before. Only the super-concise menu of the first-level directory makes it easy for me to get used to various complicated interfaces. Somewhat at a loss.

In fact, the first thing you need to do when you first touch the Tizen operating system of the Samsung UA65JS9900 is to forget what the so-called "four interface" and "sandwich interface", the entire Tizen operating system only has a first-level interface. In the interface, as long as you click Smart Hub on the remote control, it will pop up at the bottom of the screen, and all you have to do is select the application icons that you want to open. As you can see, the menu at the bottom of the screen is divided into two parts, the most recent content and features, and the two parts can be freely switched. The so-called recent content is actually quite understandable, and the feature is actually an application shortcut that you have installed.

In addition to the super-simple interface, everyone actually cares about the number of Tizen operating systems, but this may give you some disappointment.





In terms of video-on-demand, the Samsung UA65JS9900 has cooperated with Mango TV to reach the mainstream level in terms of the number and quality of film sources. Some of the newer movies can also be found there, and there are not many videos for comparison. satisfaction.



However, other applications than video are a bit embarrassing. After entering the application interface, you will find that there are several sections for videos, game consoles, sports, lifestyle, information, education, and children, but the number of applications in each section is at most 20, and less is, for example, video. Only one mango TV and only five sports. Obviously, there is a big gap between this and our common Android system.





In addition, there is a problem. Most applications here are not practical. For example, most of the game consoles are puzzle games. Although there are only eight applications in the education category, all are English-language software.

Overall, there are three things that satisfy me in the Tizen operating system: First, with the support of an eight-core processor, the entire system operates very smoothly; second, a super-simple directory, at a glance; and finally, it can continue without interrupting the current In the case of an application, Tizen's system menu is called on any interface, which is very convenient. From these three perspectives, it is of great help to improve the actual operating experience. Of course, I also have to say that the number of Tizen system applications is really intolerable, if you simply look at online video and see the news, but if you want to play some games, or find some interesting I am afraid that software will not be so many surprises.

Outstanding picture quality

Samsung UA65JS9900 uses a 65-inch 4K curved screen with a resolution of 3840×2160. The display technology has a SUHD subtle remodeling engine, ultra-high definition local light control, enhanced black control technology enhancement, automatic depth of field optimization, and excellent peak control light (Professional Edition) and other technologies, the overall effect is still worth the wait.

We first tested it with Samsung's own 4K demo. The transition of the screen color is harmonious and natural, no color cast occurs, and the saturation is high, and the accurate reproduction is not distorted.

In addition, we also used another dynamic video to test the TV's high-speed dynamic picture control capabilities. Through actual testing, the robot cat did not appear obvious smearing and blurring during the flight.

Obviously, it cannot be denied that the Samsung UA65JS9900 performs very well in terms of actual image quality due to the mounting of multiple display technologies. With the cooperation of a 65-inch curved screen, it can fully stimulate your eyeballs.



Visual angle test


But for the curved TV, it is still the old question: what kind of visual experience can the curved screen bring? From my actual experience, to experience the shock effect brought by the curved screen can meet two conditions: large enough, nearby. In other words, for a 65-inch surface product, if you are within 3 meters or so, and in the middle of the screen, the so-called presence feeling can still be clearly felt. But if you are not so close, then objectively speaking, the effect you see is actually not much worse than flat-screen TV.

Of course, the emergence of curved TV is not a day or two. For those of us who are concerned about the "universal surface TV is not deformed?" and "Is it necessary to do the emperor's bit viewing?" But in short, I would like to remind everyone that although curved screens can indeed contribute to the improvement of visual effects, these are only visible under certain conditions, and do not expect too much for ordinary homes.

to sum up

Back to the beginning of the article, the two features of this Samsung UA65JS9900 that are most noteworthy are price, and second, the Tizen operating system. First, from the price point, the official price of the TV is 4,499 yuan. Obviously, this price is not affordable for the average consumer. From the current market point of view, most domestic models of 65-inch curved 4K TVs are only around 20,000 yuan. The reason why Samsung UA65JS9900 expensive a lot, there are new factors, there are brand factors in it.

In addition, from the point of view of the Tizen operating system, the fresh, concise interface is indeed unique in many Android models, and it does give us a new feeling in the operating experience. It is no doubt that it is comfortable to use. of. However, it cannot be denied that the useless applications in the Tizen system have also made it somewhat embarrassing. Regardless of whether the system will be able to flourish like iOS and Android in the future, it is still difficult to compete with Android system models at least.

Well, finally, we returned to the previous question that all these high-end products faced together: Who is it sold to? In fact, this problem is not difficult to answer: so many rich people are willing to spend 40,000 yuan to buy a There is certainly a TV, but it must not be an office worker like me. I can't afford it.

Therefore, in summary, this Samsung UA65JS9900, whether it is in the design, quality, or equipped with the latest Tizen operating system, it represents the highest level of the current Samsung smart TV, want to know how the best smart TV in the end It is not an exaggeration to use this Samsung UA65JS9900 as a benchmark. However, if you really want to buy a TV home, there are really plenty of affordable products available.
