The cool 40U1 TV is the first 40-inch 4K TV that costs less than 3,000 yuan. After listing, it attracted the attention of users, allowing users to meet the 4K TV's screen charm with extremely low hardware prices. So what about the cool 40U1 TV? Xiao Bian wrote an in-depth review article, detailing the 4K ultra-clear picture quality and massive resources of this cool-on TV!
Cool open 40U1
Before introducing product features, let's take a look at the appearance. Cool 40U1 model design must be combined with the price, the use of asymmetric structure of the aluminum base TV in the 3,000 yuan product is difficult to trace, but in the border, TV thickness, the flow of the Internet gene 40U1 can definitely exceed the Some of the same products, unless you are a brand party, or U1 series will definitely pull down the style of your living room.
Cool open U1 continues the style of the previous K series. It uses the iF and Red Dot award-winning team to design the knife. It has created the “transparent sunroof†for TV. The electronic components are not only TV-driven panels on the back, but they are well-organized. Cabling has even become a highlight of television decorations.
Coocaa 4K product line and the previously released 1080P product coincide in the size segment, even though this time the 4K series still redesigned the base. The all-aluminum base penetrates this strong metal texture, and the arched support structure is more visually pleasing. There is no tedious feeling. Product design is a very young and stylish route.
The interface is what you want to pay attention to when you want to buy cool TV users. It is equipped with 3 sets of HDMI, 3 sets of USB2.0, 2 AV inputs, 1 AV output, and network cable and SD card reader interface. It supports 5 input sources and Access to up to four storage devices. In addition, it should be noted that it has abandoned some obsolete interfaces, such as the RF connected to CCTV, watching live TV on 40U1 can be viewed through the set-top box with AV, HDMI output, or through the Internet, if your area does not cover digital signals, The TV supplement channel selection device (162 people interested) can play an RF-to-AV effect, but it requires an additional purchase.
If you are the first users of cool TV, you must know the black version of the remote control before. After experiencing feedback from users, CoolOpen has upgraded the key touch and control functions according to the initial version, and gave the old user a free version of the new remote control. The silvery-white remote control with a sense of technology in the picture above is it nowadays. Already standard on all CoolTVs. Clear layout and stylish appearance.
In terms of configuration, the hardware architecture of Kuaikai U1 has been improved compared with the K1 series, but it still stays at the dual-core level. This dual-core price is indeed the main theme, and 40U1 is also in the mainstream. As far as the speed of operation is concerned, unless you have a high frequency of control of the remote control, it will not allow us to show an urgent mentality in normal use.
Support 4K decoding cool open 40U1 function experience
Before we introduce the TV's software features, let's take a look at its boot time. This is a small advantage of Cooloku 40U1. In the wave of television intelligence, we have had a wealth of expansion capabilities, but the smart system also slows down the TV's boot speed. Previously, the mainstream smart TVs that Xiaobian contacted were booting at about 30-40 seconds. Cool open U1 had already searched for the access signal for us at 22 seconds. If a device such as a set-top box is connected, it will go directly to the set channel once it is turned on.
Cool 40U1 does not have a traditional home page design. Its home menu is suspended above the screen of each access channel. Therefore, when watching TV or playing a movie on a computer, we can quickly use it between the application software and the video screen. Cut in/return.
At the opening of the U1 series 4K TV, the Internet content service provider, Ulead Poule, said that it will bring 4K channel to cool TV. At present, this channel is not on the test machine. According to the excellent friends announced the strategic layout of more than 200 4K films this year, 4K channel will not let everyone wait too long. In fact, the Cool Open U1 series provides users with an 8GB SD card with a built-in 4K movie in the attachment. Through this, we can first appreciate the elegance of 4K, and we believe that the on-demand service of the full-length movie is just around the corner.
Video content is the longest "application" of Internet TV usage. Kudu's 40U1 online on-demand resource is provided by built-in software such as Ubuntu and Huada. Skyworth and U-Peng have jointly created a direct channel featuring Hollywood. A large number of rare resources for cool users to watch. It should be noted that some of the latest high-definition video sources require paid on-demand, the cost is roughly 5 yuan / time or purchase monthly service. In addition to the rarest new resources, many film and television sources have been provided free of charge, so you do not have to worry about the insufficient number of movies.
Unlike other regular video-on-demand software, the Kuon Kai 40U1 is also equipped with TV live broadcasting. After becoming a paying member, it will be able to watch online TV live during the membership period.
The power of Internet TV lies in its rich scalability. Having free to pay without paying seems to be the choice of the vast majority of people. In fact, in the software store of Cool Open U1 series TVs, it can support the download of Tai Jie and TV Cats. The former has provided us with a powerful free live Internet TV broadcast function. Nearly a thousand TV stations are definitely beyond the viewing range of the cable TV of the members. No points are taken.
Although Tatelite supports video on demand, the cats are more highly aggregative, and recent popular TV programs such as Slave 20, Gravity, Frozen, Dallas, Blue Jasmine, etc. are all free to watch. , And the video source and the clarity are very rich, we can balance the smooth and download needs for different network speeds.
Many HD enthusiasts do not like to watch movies online. Although the on-demand resolution of on-demand is already very high, there is still a big gap between the high-end 1080P and Blu-ray originals. Cool 40U1 USB media player is realized through "Local Media" APP. It is a picture, audio and video player of TV. The performance of 40U1 hard decoding is outstanding in the test. Movie source including 4K and Blu-ray Remux can all be Perfect support, smooth playback.
In addition to online on-demand, USB local playback, we can also provide video source for 40U1 via mobile phone. The above is a 40U1 multi-screen interactive experience. It supports movie recommendation, local multimedia resource push in mobile phone, TV remote control, voice search and many other functions. . In addition, this cool open mobile phone control software also integrates on-demand TV live broadcast, support the on-demand or reservation of TV programs from the current time to the current day, 40U1 adds a lot of practical new features in the original control software, but this version The software has some minor issues waiting to be updated and resolved.
Video is located on the first screen of the 40U1 homepage. The next interface is its application. It is more open than some other Internet TVs because not all televisions in Tale provide recommended downloads. In addition, we can download other software such as TV Cat, Youku, Multi-Music, TV QQ, etc. in its software store, mainly based on life and entertainment.
Although there are a few games in the App Store, we haven’t introduced them yet, because the third screen in the main interface is the game page. The games in the Coocaa Game Center include somatosensory, casual, classic arcade games, etc., in which Sports Gaga has a variety of somatosensory operations, using a mobile phone as a remote control, eliminating the cost of purchasing a somatosensory Controller, and entering After the game there will be a two-dimensional code scanning guide us to download the control software.
TV hardware manufacturers often do not make their own applications and games, so the software in the market is provided by third-party platforms. Third-party means that it is difficult to have a unified standard, so it is inevitable that there are some software that has not been optimized for TV control. For example, the various menus in the watercress FM do not correspond well with the remote control, and the use of multi-meter music songs does not have this problem.
When the first generation of Cool TV was released, he made a joint appearance with Ali. The TV shopping function provided a multi-benefit deal and Alipay paid utility bills. Now these do not appear in the U1 series. The fourth interface of Coolo 40U1 is shopping, this time adopts an independent operation method, internal is Skyworth’s cool open mall, and the brand list will also provide us with Lynx flagship stores such as Jingdong and famous brands, but Do you really use TV to experience shopping?
Colorful Cool 40U1 Image Quality According to DisplaySearch's latest research, Innolux and AUO's 4K panels accounted for 58% of global shipments. Among them, Innolux's panel with more cost-effective positioning was more mainstream, and the panel of the Cool 40U1 was open. It is from innocent. This 40-inch panel has a resolution of 38402160, which is what we often call 4K. The resolution is 4 times that of the existing full HD, and the display pixels are more than 6 million more than full HD, and the image quality is greatly improved.
As we approach the full-HD television viewing screen, the closer we get to the distance, the more we notice the graininess of the picture. Therefore, 4K TVs have the advantage of being able to watch at close quarters. After experiencing the experience, we can only see the details of the source in the extreme close to the TV, and at that distance we can not even look at the whole screen with my eyes.
Xiao Bian roughly reduced the ratio of the distance between the 2m and 1m TV scenes based on the field of view of the TV. (The binoculars fixed their eyes on the field of vision of television, and the non-160°-wide view of the human eye). According to the actual experience, the view of the frame in the 2-meter state is very small, and the 4K ultra-high resolution does not exert its advantage. When one meter away from the TV, you can still feel the exquisite images presented by Ultra HD, and there is no decline in image clarity due to resolution limitations. Close-range viewing also makes movies even more immersive. For 42 inches, Xiaobian feels a 1-1.5m viewing distance is more appropriate, but it should be noted that do not set the screen too bright when watching TV at close range, you need to keep your eyes regularly rest.
The following is a picture quality test for television. In terms of color scale performance, Cool 40U1 has the most delicate representation of blue, and each boundary can be clearly presented. Green is the weak link of this TV. The top two lines have almost no visible color borders. Theoretically, it lacks in the expression of the green color level, but unless professional designers or have another TV for comparison, These details are difficult to express in people's perception of the picture.
The expression of the actual color, cool open 40U1 features vivid saturation, rich colors, which is related to its third-generation six primary color optimization at the factory, the mode is related to - optimize - enhance the three adjustment options, the color by the low saturation Gradually transition to high saturation. After the actual experience, Xiao Bian personally prefers to turn this optimization off, so that the aesthetics of the partial Asian skin with slightly reddish skin color will be lessened, and the color rendering will become more natural and realistic.
Grayscale, cool open 40U1 can clearly express the boundaries between the 16 levels of the test disc, according to its high brightness characteristics, the screen will show us more details of the shadows, so in the test chart backlight side The outline of the wood is also more abundant, but this detail is provided by increasing the brightness, so the black part of the dark part of the screen is not so deep, and the depth of the details or black depends on your needs.
Summary Cool open 40U1 advantages: 4K ultra-high resolution, attractive cost-effective, support 4K decoding, online movie and television resources rich, dynamic performance is better.
Cool open 40U1 Insufficient: Currently 4K channel is not yet online, multi-screen interactive software has room for improvement, there is a phenomenon of light leakage.
Young people are most eager for new technology, and it is clear that Cool U1 is a television series designed for young people. In him can experience the latest 4K ultra high-definition technology, and Skyworth is still the first to put forward online 4K video channel brand, which means that 4K is no longer a concept of profit-making manufacturers, ultra high-definition television is about to enter a more practical sense .
Slightly higher than the mainstream performance, slightly lower than the mainstream market positioning, the combination of the two constitutes a strong market positioning for CoolTV brand TV. So far, the U1 series is one of the most cost-effective 4K TVs that we can buy. It provides us with young and lively product shapes and a variety of video resources. It describes the young people in the best posture at the same price point. Cool open TV internet concept.
Cool TV is one of the few extremely Internet-enabled products in the industry. The award-winning team of iF and Red Dot awards it precisely controls the aesthetic tastes of young users, and it has decisively abandoned traditional CCTV in hardware configuration. The RF interface can only rely on the set-top box or the Internet to watch live TV. You can feel a bit special about cool open products. Such an action requires great courage in a homogenized industry.

The resolution is 4 times that of the existing full HD, and the display pixels are more than 6 million more than full HD, and the image quality is greatly improved.
Only when you are very close together can you see the lack of detail in the picture
As we approach the full-HD television viewing screen, the closer we get to the distance, the more we notice the graininess of the picture. Therefore, 4K TVs have the advantage of being able to watch at close quarters. After experiencing the experience, we can only see the details of the source in the extreme close to the TV, and at that distance we can not even look at the whole screen with my eyes.

Six primary color optimization menu
It is recommended to click on the big picture to see the details, especially red changes
The expression of the actual color, cool open 40U1 features vivid saturation, rich colors, which is related to its third-generation six primary color optimization at the factory, the mode is related to - optimize - enhance the three adjustment options, the color by the low saturation Gradually transition to high saturation. After the actual experience, Xiao Bian personally prefers to turn this optimization off, so that the aesthetics of the partial Asian skin with slightly reddish skin color will be lessened, and the color rendering will become more natural and realistic.
16 gray scale tests
Shadow detail restore screen
Grayscale, cool open 40U1 can clearly express the boundaries between the 16 levels of the test disc, according to its high brightness characteristics, the screen will show us more details of the shadows, so in the test chart backlight side The outline of the wood is also more abundant, but this detail is provided by increasing the brightness, so the black part of the dark part of the screen is not so deep, and the depth of the details or black depends on your needs.
Under full black background, the light leakage is more obvious in the lower left corner of the screen and in the lower center area, which is inevitable in low-price TV products. The cost-constrained workmanship cannot reach the level of top LCD TVs.
The dynamic performance makes Xiaobian unexpected. The performance of U1 at 2999 price level is more eye-catching. In the sports flow, it can make us see the details of the license plate, but the picture still has a certain degree of jitter. The better dynamic performance is that the fast-moving movies and sporting events provide more room to play, and the motion picture can therefore be smooth and smooth.
Summary Cool open 40U1 advantages: 4K ultra-high resolution, attractive cost-effective, support 4K decoding, online movie and television resources rich, dynamic performance is better.
Cool open 40U1 Insufficient: Currently 4K channel is not yet online, multi-screen interactive software has room for improvement, there is a phenomenon of light leakage.
