The cheapest big screen plasma: PANDA Panda P51F31D 51-inch 3D Plasma TV

First, the origin

The CRT TV that has been used for more than a decade has finally broken down. Coupled with the fact that the summer vacation is coming, the wife and daughter will return home to see their parents. Therefore, they decided to change the home to a new one, and in the meantime, the parents would improve their audio-visual enjoyment. As they mainly look to their parents in rural areas, they plan to buy a cheap and big bowl. This selection criteria will soon be established: the bigger the screen, the better, and the lower the price, the better.

According to this standard, plasma was soon found to be the wise choice. After reading relevant discussions on the advantages and disadvantages of plasma and LCD TVs, I felt that the plasma defects were basically acceptable and began to focus on plasma TVs. In this way, the LG60PN660H, LG50PN460H, Panda P51F31D, etc. enter into consideration. Due to the large spread, Panda P51F31D was quickly locked.

Second, place an order

The first thing that came to mind was Jingdong. At the time, the price was 2,399 yuan, which was about 100 yuan less than the usual price. When saddling with orders, he discovered that the old home was too remote and was despised by Jingdong’s big delivery (when small pieces were sent). So he went to Suning and the price was the same as Jingdong, which was 2399 yuan. The good news was that he was doing a full thousand minus 50 activities. He could also get a 100 yuan color TV coupon, plus 100 yuan for red packets and 8 yuan for scraping prizes. In the middle of the year, the red envelope can be won for 2091 yuan. I should immediately place an order. I do not know how to discover Suning’s 0-yuan purchase activity. I immediately paid 298 yuan to buy a high-priced rice cooker and got a rebate of 298 yuan. Pay 1793 yuan.

Of course, there is a price to pay for the cheaper ones. Since I can only make appointments, the ones I placed on June 15th will need delivery on July 2nd. However, if we look at the price, I will endure it.

Third, receipt & use

July 2 due to not home, about 3 delivery. On the evening of the 2nd, Suning's customer service contacted me for delivery and asked if it was necessary to provide installation services. Since the home does not need to be wall-mounted, and asked all the accessories for the base to be installed, the installation service was declined. At noon on the 3rd Suning delivery personnel was shocked: it was a big package. Paste the official size data: The packaging is 1316 × 268 × 872 mm, and the TV is 1173 × 210 × 745 mm.

After the delivery person left, I am brave enough to open the package and install it myself (delivery personnel do not provide inspection service, only delivery. If you are afraid of the appearance of TV damage and other issues, you can verify with the installer out of the box, because I refused Install the service, so it's a bit afraid of bad luck when you are out of the box.) Fortunately, after the box was opened, it was found that the protection measures were still very strict and there were no obvious traces of appearance. The TV base is installed and connected to the set-top box's video signal: boot, everything is normal.

There are two groups of ports, located on the back and sides of the right side of the TV. The back ports are from left to right: headphone output, USB input, three HDMI inputs, VGA input, audio input, antenna input.

The side ports are from top to bottom: video output, two sets of red, white, yellow audio and video inputs and one set of component inputs.

For home use, the TV's port is sufficient for use. The currently used ports mainly have an HDMI input set-top box to meet the family watching TV, a USB input to the mobile hard disk to watch 3D film sources, and other ports are temporarily unavailable (it is planned to add a TV box to HDMI later).

This TV supports 3D mode, can directly play 3D film source, can also convert ordinary 2D signal to 3D signal playback. However, depressed is not to send 3D glasses, Panda Mall's original glasses to 199 yuan. After the study found that this glasses is Changhong OEM, so the price of more than 50 yuan to buy two pairs of Changhong 3D glasses, perfect support.

TV's 3D effect is still good, the current 3D film source is mainly left and right formats.

The upper and lower formats are also supported. After opening the 3D mode, the naked eye sees the image like this:

USB interface imported multimedia, those formats are supported by the TV format I think many people are also more concerned about, I am here to paste the data in the instructions:

Fourth, feel

There is almost one month's usage time from the time of receiving goods from July 3 to today. The current usage experience mainly includes the following points for your reference:

advantage:

First, it is cheap. More than 1700 buy a 51-inch plasma, which is basically the price of cabbage. Even if the price of 0 yuan purchase is imaginary, it would be very difficult for 20000 to buy a TV and send a rice cooker. (The current normal price looks like 2399 yuan, and it is even lower when there is activity).

2, the video performance is clear enough. This is a key point to talk about. When watching this TV worth recommending, we are most worried about the low resolution of 1024×768. The SDTV set-top box was first used, and there were pixels in front of the TV. However, after two meters away, it had no effect. At that time, I thought it might be because of cheaper prices. Later, when the 168 love home package had a high-definition interactive set-top box, the pixel phenomenon was much better. It seems that the main source of the signal is the reason. It also confirms my judgment when playing a 10G 3D movie: The higher the quality of the signal source, the lighter the pixel phenomenon. And even if the SD set-top box is used directly or even directly connected to the TV optical fiber line, there will be no influence beyond the two meters. This can be assured.

3, 3D effect is good. When buying 3D glasses, the boss gave a Baidu cloud disk account, which has a lot of 3D sources. Due to the use of active shutter technology, 3D effects are still relatively good, once the little prostitutes scared. Since then, one of the pleasures of the niece is to bring kids to let me put 3D movies to scare her little partner. The effect of turning 2D TV programs into 3D can also be achieved, but due to the quality of the film source itself, it is still much worse than the sensational power of the high-definition film source that started the last decade.

4, the screen is large enough. The size of 1173 × 210 × 745 mm coupled with the design of a narrow border, parents have been watching the 42-inch CRT has been quite large TV. As a living room TV, at present I personally feel that basic enough, we can take a look at the TV boot diagram mentioned above, and then the TV cabinet is not enough. However, I remember that there were value-friends who said that TVs are more and more small, and they may be retired afterwards.

PS, as far as the performance of color performance and motion picture performance is better than that of LCD TVs, the technical characteristics of plasma are not discussed as merits here. As a product to purchase floor prices, we must focus on the lack of it.

Disadvantages:

1, no power switch. The TV itself does not have a power switch and can only be switched between standby and power on. To power off either pull the TV plug or turn off the outlet power.

2. The port location needs to be improved. Because the HDMI inputs are all behind, there are wall-hanging requirements that must be connected to the wall, otherwise the wiring will be very troublesome. At the same time, because the USB input is also behind the scenes, if you do not want to use the U disk or mobile hard disk to play video every time you go to find the socket, it is recommended to drag an extension cord out to the front of the TV. If you swap the side and the back of the port may be much better, at least more convenient to insert U disk.

3, large power consumption. The nominal TV is 220 watts, which is about twice as high as that of LCD TVs. This is limited by the plasma TV technology (a daily average of 5 hours of viewing and about a month's worth of electricity). Because of the large power consumption, the TV has a certain amount of heat, and in the summer it may impose an additional burden on the air conditioner.

PS, 3D glasses are also relatively large power consumption, a button battery can support about 50 hours if used continuously. If you like to watch 3D videos, it is recommended that you look for those two or three hairs on the X-Bao.

4. There is not enough support for the encapsulated MKV format. The current 3D film sources are mainly MKV and TS formats. The TV has good support for TS source formats, but there are two problems with the MKV format. One is subtitles, and the embedded subtitle TV cannot be recognized. Subtitles must be extracted from the file. Name can be identified in a folder; one is sound, if the package is audio in AC3 and other formats, it must be converted to AAC, MP2, MP3, and PCM format to re-encapsulate.

5, the base is unstable. After the television base is placed on the TV cabinet, it is not completely fitted to the counter but has a slight inclination. There is no problem watching TV, but there is a sense of shakiness when you touch the TV with a little force. After the query was said to be used in order to use the buffer to protect the screen intentionally designed the base, so I do not know if it is a shortcoming, first put it here.

Finally, if you can accept the above shortcomings. A two-thousand-thousand-dollar 51-inch TV personally feels worthwhile to start with. It can be said that it is a real clearance sale price.
