Side display

Simple black backplane





The back of the TV is kept clean and tidy. All interfaces are located on the left side of the TV, including an SD card slot, two USB ports, and two HDMI ports. The number is sufficient, but there is no USB 3.0 and HDMI 2.0 standard interface. In addition, there are network ports, coaxial output, AV input and other less commonly used ports, which can basically meet the full range of family needs. There is a five-way navigation key below the interface to facilitate emergency use when the remote control is not found.

Hardware Configuration and Quality Evaluation

60 frames of 4K video can play normally

H.265 movie playback screen


The PPTV 40C2 is based on the Mstar 6A638 processor. Although it is not a flagship standard, its performance is also good enough. Common video formats can be normally decoded. It is difficult to ignore all video in the test library. Common 60 frames of 4K video can be played normally, and H.265 encoded video can also be decoded, so don't worry about its native video playback capability. In addition, the 40C2 provides 8GB of storage space. It is sufficient to install some basic software applications. Of course, the SD card slot can also be used to expand the body storage.


As a full-HD small-size TV, you don’t need to over-tap its image quality performance. Considering its resource advantages in terms of sports resources, you should pay more attention to its dynamic processing. After all, it is a phenomenon of tailing when watching the ball. Affected the viewing experience very much, after testing, PPTV 40C2 tells the movement train in the performance, the window does not have the obvious vibration, the connection of the body and the carriage also does not have the obvious trailing phenomenon, this kind of performance has been very rare Now.


Leakage is an insurmountable obstacle for LCD TVs. From the pure black picture shown above, it can be seen that there is no obvious light leakage in the 40C2. There is only slight light in the lower right corner, but it has no effect on the viewing experience.


In the color grading test, PPTV 40C2 can accurately restore most of the color patches, but there is slight adhesion in the green area at the top. This is also the area where most LCD TVs are difficult to express.

For fans, it’s a great value to bring home a more comfortable viewing experience.

VFD Grid

Vacuum fluorescent display, referred to as VFD, is a low-energy electroluminescent display devices, the working principle and CRT similar. It has the incomparable advantage of liquid crystal display (LCD) in applications where there is a large variation in ambient brightness and no strict requirement for low power consumption, and is now widely used in audio-visual equipment, home electronics, automotive instruments, office equipment and instrumentation.

The structure of a VFD board is a typical vacuum triode structure, consisting of a cathode, a grid and an anode. In between the cathode and the anode there's a thin mesh of metal called the Grid that can be switched on or off, controlling the flow of electrons from the cathode to the anode. This VFD grid mesh is made of a thin metal plate with a thickness of 30 to 50μm, which is lithographed and made into a highly transparent fine lattice or tortoise-shaped metal mesh. When a positive voltage is applied to the grid, electrons emitted from the filament are accelerated and diffused toward the anode. When a negative voltage is applied to the grid, electron flow to the anode is cut off.

We custom VFD Grid with drawings provided by customers. The raw material we use for etched VFD Grid is SUS430 stainless steel. We are equipped with professional metal etching equipment and exposure development equipment. Our etched manufacturing capacity can achieve 0.05mm.
