This is quite rare for a 2799 yuan 55-inch smart 4K TV. Of course, due to the ultra-low price, this TV has also been restricted in terms of configuration, and it can't make people play 100 points in the fluency of the system operation. However, in the system UI, smart experience, the performance of popular television is also remarkable, and video and television resources are more attractive.
