In the past two years, the color TV industry has reverted to the display technology battle. As the best in the industry, Sony has brought a lot of benchmarking technology products to you, such as domineering Z9D series LCD TVs, such as A1 series OLED TVs that shocked four seats, etc. It is precisely because of the emergence of these technical products that the majority of users have once again witnessed Sony’s absolute strength in the color TV industry.

Although the color TV industry has an unshakable position, Sony has not yet stagnated. In order to further consolidate the brand's position in the industry, Sony has once again brought a lot of technical products to the users at a new product launch. ,

Not long ago, at the spring new product launch conference, Sony also brought a large number of technological products such as the X9000F series, the X8566F series, and the X8500F series of televisions. These products continued Sony’s past performance advantages, There has been a significant increase in content, especially in-depth cooperation with Tencent video, which has greatly enhanced its own entertainment attributes. Today, we were fortunate enough to have received the Sony X8566F series television. As a member of Sony's 2018 camp, what are the outstanding features of the Sony X8566F series? Today, I’ve brought the first of Sony’s 65” X8566F TV. Hand evaluation.

Sony X8566F basic test

In this era of product-oriented experience, regardless of the positioning of the product, the quality of the trial experience is the first criterion for determining its value. In addition to meeting the aesthetic needs of the user in terms of appearance, the television should also be in terms of quality. To meet the viewing requirements of users, only the combination of the two can create a true ultimate experience.

The figure above can best reflect the product's strength in the color reproduction, it is not difficult to see through the real shot, X8566F for the reduction of pigment color is still in place, a variety of different colors of paint in the light of the show, showing With a delicate gradual effect, look carefully at the effect of the pink pigment under light, and the bottom is slightly white to gradually transition to the top of the red, very natural.

For example, the image above can best reflect the processing power in contrast. You can pay attention to the rock in the cave. When the light shines, the shadow in the pothole contrasts with the convex part of the surface light. The effect presents a very real and delicate rock with similar partial colors. However, looking closely at the colors is deep and shallow, but the transition between depth and depth is very natural. As a whole, the picture will look very layered. Previously, we also tested other competing products. During the testing process, we discovered that due to the difference in the display performance of the products, some TVs showed some border transitions when displaying such images with multiple similar colors and mixed together. Relatively rough, and some even can see the layered color, it does not appear to have any sense of hierarchy. In addition, the trees in the X8566F close-range view can be clearly distinguished, and the dark green under the shadows and even the leaves under the black and sunlight appear to be highly layered. The difference in the same trees caused by different light conditions is very realistic. Layered image restoration naturally brings an immersive experience to the user. From this point of view, the overall performance of Sony X8566F series TV is very good in contrast.

Finally, let's take a look at the performance of the Sony X8566F TV series in detail and clarity. The picture shows the close-up shot of the insect's eye. Through the real shot we can clearly see the insect's facial structure and the surrounding. The fluffy close-up, and such outstanding performance naturally can not be separated from the powerful image resolution capability of its 4K HDR image processing chip X1. .

In general, the Sony X8566F TV has demonstrated amazing color performance through the real shot of the TV test picture. The color quality is moist and clear, and the tiny color gradient can be clearly displayed on the screen. In order to have a more intuitive understanding of the color gamut of the TV, in the next test, we will conduct a professional color gamut test on the product.

The color gamut test used the professional Spyder 4 Elite, and the test software used DisplayCAL. Before the test, we first restored the TV to the factory settings, passed one hour of product warm-up, and reduced the ambient light in the room, minimizing the error in the testing process.

Note: Due to irresistible factors such as ambient light, there are inevitable errors in the test, so the test results are for reference only.

After approximately one hour of testing time, the final test result showed that the Sony 65X8566F television color gamut area reached 143% Rec.709, and the color gamut coverage reached 97.8% Rec.709. This data can be said to have reached the industry's high-end level. In addition, through testing, we found that the Sony X8566F series TV ΔE (average color shift) reached a staggering 0.15, showing a very high color accuracy, usually between 1.6 and 3.2, the human eye can no longer be identified properly The difference in color, not to mention its 0.15 test value.

Note: ΔE can quantify the accuracy of color reproduction to a value that accurately reflects the accuracy of the display's color. Therefore, the smaller the number, the better. The higher the score, the more distorted the color.

As I mentioned in the previous article, the reason why the Sony X8566F series of televisions have such outstanding quality performance, and the product's 4K HDR image processing chip X1, 4K sharp image processing engine, and Terri charm display technology, etc. Inseparable, it is precisely because of these technologies to join, Sony X8566F series of televisions more colorful display, enhance the color of the screen at the same time, the answer to enhance the user's overall visual experience.

Sony X8566F sample test

Sometimes, the product's hardware parameters do not represent the true picture quality of the TV. Although many of the product's parameters are very high, the actual display effect is far from satisfactory. The most common example is that the contrast is imaginary, which causes the picture to show less detail in highlights and shadows. This kind of performance is actually a kind of end to the user's viewing. What about the true picture quality of the Sony X8566F series TVs that have shown impressive strength in the data? The next subjective testing session has attracted special attention.

Since 4K HDR has become the main feature of this year's high-end TV, our test sample will also be based on 4K HDR video. At the same time, HDR film sources have set higher requirements for shooting equipment. The general exposure effect is that HDR effects cannot be seen. Although the human eye can be simulated by post-grading, the effect is not perfect. It also violates the true nature of the evaluation photos. Therefore, this part of the evaluation as far as possible the use of the form of narrative experience, photos are only for reference.

From this comparison chart, it is easy to see the power of HDR. On the left side of the screen without HDR, the colors are bright, but they have lost their true level of reality. In the HDR on the right, whether it is a tent or land The color of the clothes is even more true. Because of its powerful brightness support, it is richer in detail than the left side. Brightness and darkness are distinctive, and the most important thing is the high authenticity, as seen by the naked eye.

Bell face shadow transition under natural light

Highlights show very real results

The first video is a trailer for Pharaoh and the Gods. HDR's biggest bright spot appeared in the dialogue between the male and female protagonists. The effect of the strong sunshine in Egypt was very strong. The sun shone on the clear facial features of the protagonist Bell, bringing a distinct light and shadow effect, contrasting from the brightest point to the shadowy one. Strong, the transition is very natural, there is no "yin and yang face" situation.

The second video is the "Fantasy Rafting" juvenile trailer. Li An is committed to challenging the movie format. This 2012 film actually supports HDR effect is really amazing.

The beginning of the sea sunrise scene can be said to maximize the strength of HDR TV. The same scene was put on some low-cost HDR models but the effect was almost flat. When viewed on a Sony 65X8566F TV, the super-high peak brightness of the TV made the audience feel like a direct sunlight in real life.

And in another scene in the film, the brilliant light of the jellyfish that glows in the sea is in stark contrast to the deep back.

Finally, a piece of charcoal burning, Sony X8566F TV display rich flame brightness information, the level is extremely clear, even vaguely feel when watching the heat waves before the screen, this can be said that SDR and even 3D video has not been rendered realistic Feelings.

Through these videos, everyone may feel that the Sony X8566F TV not only has a very high peak brightness, but also has a great black field effect and excellent backlight control. This comprehensive performance is in good agreement with the product selling point introduction and data test results introduced in the previous article. Therefore, we can say with certainty that the performance of the Sony 65X8566F TV is extremely high and can meet the fever level to the utmost extent. The user's pursuit of quality.
