Modular TV strikes to solve smart TV problems

The lifetime of the smart hardware performance of smart TVs cannot be consistent with the TV screen. That is to say, under the condition that our TV screen can still be used normally, the hardware of the smart TV can no longer meet the needs of the current APP application. As a result, if we still want to use the smart part of the TV, we have to choose to replace the TV or purchase a TV box to serve as an intelligent provider. Undoubtedly, this problem has limited the development of the smart TV industry as a whole.

How can we solve the problem of unbalanced life of smart TV hardware and TV screens? Many manufacturers choose to use the top hardware configuration in the current market to avoid the replacement of too fast intelligent hardware, but this seems to be a temporary solution. Can not fundamentally solve the problem of smart TV hardware upgrades.

If the smart TV is seen as a whole, the problem of upgrading the smart TV hardware seems to never be solved. However, Lenovo took the lead in making breakthroughs in this regard, splitting the original complete TV, independently designing the traditional TV function and the smart part, and launching a 50S9 smart TV that can be upgraded with modularity. If the user's smart hardware is out of date, and the screen can still be used normally, you can choose to purchase Lenovo's intelligent hardware upgrade module to complete the intelligent hardware upgrade of the TV. However, because the upgrade module is more expensive, it is not as cost-effective as buying a TV box. Therefore, it did not cause much concern.

As technology continues to mature, the idea of ​​opening the smart TV is also more recognized. In 2015, Bare, Haier, and Changhong have all launched split-type or modular smart TV products, which can be said to be a perfect solution to the problem of unbalanced smart hardware and screen life of smart TVs. Of course, such a design does not seem to be fundamentally different from the combination of ordinary TV and TV boxes. Moreover, the interfaces of the current smart TV upgrade module are all different, so after selecting a certain brand of smart TV, the upgrade of smart hardware in the future will also be limited, compared to the use of TV boxes is more freedom.

Modular TVs and split TVs can be said to perfectly solve the problem of different smart TV hardware and screen life. But there are still more issues that need smart TV manufacturers to consider. For example, we just had a smart hardware upgrade for the TV to purchase a smart TV upgrade module, but at this time, there was a problem with the TV screen. If you replace a new TV, how should our smart upgrade module be handled? What if one of the smart hardware or the screen has a problem and we want to replace one of our products with another? However, the biggest problems in the current life span of smart TV hardware have been solved, and I believe these problems will also be solved one by one.

Recently, TCL brought us surprises. On April 8th, TCL also introduced a modular smart TV. However, this time TCL put forward a unified standard solution for smart upgrade module interfaces on the basis of modular smart TV. Let's see To the better smart TV market in the future. If the intelligent hardware module interface standard can be unified, then the user will gain greater benefits, and at the same time have a profound effect on the development of the entire smart TV. Perhaps the future of smart TVs will be more like DIY desktop computers. Users can purchase smart upgrade modules and TV screens to build smart TVs that are more suitable for them according to their preferences.

The advantages of smart TVs over TV boxes

Although TV box prices are now dominant and upgrades are more liberal, smart TVs are more suitable for the living room. Because smart TVs do not require dual remote control operations compared to TV boxes, they are more convenient to use. At the same time, the living room will not appear cluttered due to too many lines and can provide users with a more comfortable living room environment. And the television brand is more worthy of everyone's trust because it is a messy TV box. After all, the company's after-sales service will be even better. If smart TVs of various manufacturers are expected to unify smart upgrade module interfaces as expected by TCL, then smart TVs will undoubtedly become the first choice of consumer living room entertainment.
