The design of a product may affect whether you decide to pay for it. Although this value is a bit imaginary, it is indeed a non-negligible part. Today's domestic smart phones are in a turbulent circle. When a pair of mobile phones are lined up, you may not be able to distinguish the LOGOs. Many people are complaining about the "face-to-face" phenomenon. There are so many manufacturers who are pursuing the same kind of design that they are indeed popular, and consumers want to see more special design languages. Innovation is not easy. This is where the embarrassment lies. So for smart TVs, is the "one screen + border + pedestal" combination destined to be just a popular face? Not at all.
The curvature and straightness of the screen, the material of the frame, the shape of the base, and the difference in color matching can all become part of the TV design. To say that many TVs look like a lot, erase the LOGO, do not know the pro-Kai, but really reflect the various design elements should be focused on the brand's main push products or flagship products. Next, let's take a look at what the design of domestic TV brands can get you.
Skyworth
In China, Skyworth can be said to be synonymous with OLED TVs. Due to the innate nature of OLEDs, ultra-thin became an important design element in many Skyworth TVs. This is more evident in the flagship TV.
From last year's S9300 series to this year's S9-I, you can see a clear heritage in the overall appearance. 5.27mm slim body, ultra-narrow frame, Skyworth in the appearance to maximize the highlight of this screen, remove the border, body interference. At the same time inlaid with six eye-catching JBL original speaker transparent acrylic panel, so that you can recognize at a glance this is Skyworth's unique style.
On the backside, the full metal wire drawing process backplane is also full of visual impact, and the huge "Golden Eye" (JBL woofer) echoes with the front panel speaker to create a perfect sound quality and become Skyworth's TV design. One of the major features, there is reason to believe that Skyworth's next-generation OLED organic TV will continue to inherit the family design.
Skyworth G7
In Skyworth's GLED series, although not as much as the OLED flagship series, it also has a unique design style. Take the recently launched "G7 Chinese Dream" series, its own main style of Chinese design. The sandblasting process of the alloy is matched with the curved section design, which brings a very good experience to the sense of touch and touch. The color matching of champagne gold further adds to the noble temperament.
Skyworth G7
In the audio section, the Skyworth G7 adopts a classic exterior front design, bold color matching theme chocolate, high-grade piano paint technology, more atmospheric high-end.
TCL
TCL as a representative brand of domestic curved TV, talk about design is still talking about curved TV. From the first look and feel, curved TV itself is more attractive. TCL curved TV to the author was most impressed last year's curved surface TV L65H8800S-CUDS, although in terms of body lightness, there is no Skyworth OLED TV to surprise, but TCL has come out of another characteristic line.
TCL H8800S-CUDS
On the whole, TCL L65H8800S-CUDS curved TV seems to be abandoning the general television. The "screen + border + base" combination structure, from top to bottom with unparalleled integrity, will be the perfect fusion of the base and Harman Kardon audio , The whole body and the screen to maintain consistent 4000R gold curvature, flow gold and a half metal frame has become a touch of light on both sides of the fuselage.
In the bottom part of the audio, due to the integration with the base, in order to give adequate support, so a larger extension is made, it is precisely because of this, so that the TCL L65H8800S-CUDS has a large enough sound cavity, the Harman Caton's sound effects are at their best. The surface of the sound is covered with a metal sound network, and the design of the mahogany style in the interior of the car is used for reference. The birch-style front frame embellishes the whole body, and the overall shape of the body is contrasted. The calm and noble style is complete.
TCL X1
In 2016, the TCL Mystery Flagship X1, which has yet to formally meet with the public, continues the appearance of H8800's design language. However, the overall style has changed greatly. From last year's wooden style to the current thick metal texture, The original Harman Karton audio is still at the bottom of the screen, but no longer serves as a pedestal. The multiple polished and polished all-metal “X†base became the only supporting force. As a whole, this year’s X1 overall design style is more metallized, lighter, and more technologically pleasing.
Hisense
When it comes to Hisense TV, in fact, the first thing I think of in my mind is the laser television and I have experienced the shocking experience of 100-inch laser television viewing. As for LCD TVs, there are also some products that people are eye-catching. However, the new product launched by Hisense's Internet sub-brand VIDAA not long ago was unique, and I temporarily classified it as an Internet brand, which I mentioned later.
Hisense MU9600
The Haixin MU7000 flagship TV that consumers can see in major shopping malls today is the Hisense MU7000, but this is not the true flagship of this year. Hisense released a MUK600 with an 8K resolution surface TV this year, in addition to a major highlight in resolution. In terms of design, the author also found some unique features. The all-metal grid sound and the base are integrated together with the TV screen to form an obtuse angle, which is more creative than directly on the bottom of the screen.
Hisense MU8600
Another ultra-thin surface of the Hisense MU8600, ultra-thin body, metal wire drawing backplane is not enough to have enough recognition. Instead, the front stereo at the bottom of the screen, angular and delicate metal grid, is more stylish. At the same time this TV's ultra-narrow frame is enough to shock you.
Summary: Selecting Skyworth, TCL, and Hisense from the many brands of traditional TVs should already be sufficiently representative. Skyworth OLED TV's slim body, Acrylic panel and JBL audio; TCL's non-pedestal design, scroll-style borders and wood-to-metal style transition; Hisense's innovative audio/base, ultra-narrow bezel and more delicate metal grid Sound, these can be representative designs for each brand. So, in addition to traditional TV brands, in recent years, Internet brands that have developed at a near-crazy pace have had their minds in mind.
Speaking of the Internet brand TV, you must make up for a variety of cost-effectiveness. However, what consumers really care about is not just cost-effective. The screen and appearance are all very important parts. They are usually talking about the screen. This time, we can see if the more individual Internet brands are related to traditional design. The TV brand opened the gap and played out its own personality.
Cool open
As a subsidiary of Skyworth's Internet, CoolOpen has proved its worth. Because of this direct blood relationship, cool open in the design of the TV appearance will inevitably have a little shadow of Skyworth, but fortunately not completely. "Playing out attitude", as the brand concept of Cool Open also allows it to incorporate more young elements at the product level.
Cool open T55
Cool open T series television products can be said to fully prove the strength of Cool TV design team. Cool open T series first generation TV T55, excellent design also allows it to the German Red Dot Design Award bag. On the T55, we can clearly see the combination of technology and art. Bottom linen decoration. It is matched with the aluminum one-piece front panel and attached to the front JBL Soundbar, which lightens the beauty of home decoration.
Cool open T55 OLED
In addition, its biggest feature is that in order to allow TV to better integrate into the home environment, cool open in the border and base material, color and pattern to support human customization, according to the user's actual family style, with the most appropriate appearance Style, this must have been considered by other TV brands.
Art TV, this interpretation is more thorough on T55's derivative T55 OLED TV, with linen base, transparent independent six-tone cavity, plus ultra-thin OLED arc screen, technology and art. It has been perfectly sublimated and placed in a public television product. It is absolutely unique.
LeTV
LeTV never seems to lack news and attention. In three years, many TV brands have not completed their goals in more than ten years. It is by no means just a matter of money. As mentioned before, Internet brands have a more open and free concept, which has been deeply integrated into product design.
LeTV several different styles of base
Actually, the author's impression of LeTV is partly on the variety of creative TV stands. From LeTV's first generation of super TVs, LeTV’s determination to make changes in appearance is evident. From the first generation base, to the cloud base, to the cloud wave base, as to how the shape, I prefer the cloud base, very elegant and generous. But if everyone likes different things, there will be different opinions.
Of course, LeTV's design on TV products is only focused on the changes in the base. Those who are familiar with LeTV's product line should be able to discover that LeTV has basically some common features. The main body is ultra-thin and main color silver. This is different from the fact that most TV manufacturers have introduced "Rose Gold" gorgeous colors.
VIDAA
Saying that VIDAA estimates that there are few people who know, if we say Hisense, it is estimated that nobody knows. VIDAA is the brand new Internet TV sub-brand launched by Hisense not long ago, and it is taking a high-end product line, which is in contrast to the ultra-high cost-effective Internet TV in the consciousness. And VIDAA's first product, V1, is based on distinctive design innovations, so it has to be mentioned.
The first product of the VIDAA brand was born directly to the curved TV. The author first saw the real machine of VIDAA V1, and his eyes were quickly attracted to the hole in the front right corner of the garden. If you don't say it, you really can't think of it. As long as the user gently poke into the ring-shaped hollow breathing light in the lower right corner of the TV, the TV can start at a rapid speed between seconds. When the finger only poke into the lower right corner of the TV for 3 seconds, the remote controller will turn on the buzzer mode and wirelessly page the remote controller. Is it cool? In addition, the metal grid sound at the bottom of the fuselage is absolutely worthy of a face value.
In addition to the front, the drawing back metal forming back plate must also be mentioned that a simple and concise metal back plate must be a little more than a “big bag†or “small bag†back. Including a chic triangular base, all this interprets the young vitality of the VIDAA brand, and even the distinctive features are more recognizable than Hisense branded products.
Summary: Attentive friends will find that in addition to higher cost-effectiveness, Internet brands are bolder and more diversified in design. They have an artistic style of linen matching log styles, a variety of elegant bases, and great creativity. The induction ring. Presumably this is one of the reasons why Internet TV brands can rise quickly!
Summary: The speed of TV update every year does not seem to be behind the smartphone. Any TV product you may find can look similar to the same brand or different brands. The appearance is similar and there is nothing worth whining, but there is a little It is very important that there are always some series that can represent this brand and allow it to have a more unique style in order to better spread and develop.
