The once-a-year 315-year-old event has now turned into a "Tucao" (a Chinese term for humorous or critical commentary) moment for consumers. On this day, both users and media outlets take the opportunity to voice their frustrations about various industry issues. Xiao Bian has several friends who have bought laser TVs, and today we’re diving into what they think about this new home-screen technology.
After talking with his friends, Xiao Bian found that user dissatisfaction mainly centers around unclear standards and exaggerated marketing claims. These practices confuse consumers when making purchase decisions. He hopes these issues will catch the attention of manufacturers. After all, word-of-mouth is becoming more powerful, and only by building a strong consumer image can the market grow sustainably.
One key factor in laser TV performance is brightness, but many people don't understand the difference between nominal brightness and ANSI brightness. Let’s break down a few important terms. Peak brightness refers to the maximum brightness a single point on the screen can reach, usually at the center. Maximum brightness is the highest brightness level the entire image can achieve. Optimized brightness, also known as ANSI brightness, measures the average brightness across nine test points when the projector can distinguish eight gray levels. This one is most relevant to real-world use.
In reality, insufficient brightness can make the screen look too white, which seriously affects the viewing experience. Brightness is the most sensitive parameter for projectors, and laser TVs are no exception. However, many vendors avoid mentioning ANSI brightness and instead use vague terms like "nominal brightness." In fact, this often refers to peak or maximum brightness, which can result in color distortion and poor visibility.
From Xiao Bian's testing experience, many laser TVs that actually meet 70% of their nominal brightness perform quite well. So, it's always best to see the product in action before buying. To help with this, he suggests checking out the Laser TV Channel on Zhongguancun Online for accurate ANSI brightness evaluations. Also, visiting a physical store and testing the TV under actual lighting conditions can give you a better sense of its performance.
Another challenge with laser TVs is the installation process. Unlike other appliances, setting up a laser TV can be quite complicated. Most users attempt it themselves, but the installation of the anti-glare curtain and the adjustment of the screen can be very time-consuming. The curtain needs to be perfectly smooth, and even a slight twist can cause screen distortion. Many models require multiple springs to keep the curtain tight, and the weight of the screen and frame can be quite heavy—often requiring two people to install.
Once installed, adjusting the screen to match the curtain is another complex task. Uneven surfaces or installation errors can lead to a lot of back-and-forth adjustments. For first-time buyers, this process can be frustrating and time-consuming.
To deal with these challenges, Xiao Bian recommends that if you encounter unprofessional service, you should speak up. Manufacturers should also invest in professional installation teams to improve the overall user experience and protect their brand reputation.
Additionally, some offline salespeople exaggerate product features or mislead customers. For example, they may present entry-level models as high-end ones. This can lead to buyer’s regret after purchase. Xiao Bian advises everyone to do their own research and not rely solely on sales pitch.
Also, small living rooms (around 10 square meters) may not be ideal for large laser TVs. If the viewing distance is too short, watching a big screen for long periods can cause eye strain. It's important to consider your space before making a purchase.
These issues have damaged the reputation of laser TVs and their sellers. Xiao Bian hopes manufacturers and distributors will improve training and quality control to prevent such problems from affecting the market.
Looking ahead, companies like Hisense are already working on industry standards to bring more clarity and professionalism to the market. With clearer guidelines, the laser TV industry is expected to grow more steadily in the future.
