Cheap China, Japan Tv actually are made in the British!

[capwizard]

Let me ask a question first. is British making any TV ?

Foxconn is going to Produce 100 inch TV over American at Wisconsin, invited by Trump.

Nope. Sorry, besides we can’t talk about political issues here.

I give you a hint. They are made at Cambridgeshire.

Re: Cheap China, Japan Tv actually are made in the British!

i think the words made in ... to much.. better to say assembly in, 100% all TV LCD fabric in far east.. LED if they made in UK one pieces will cost much like to buy whole TV LED's.. where are the point then.. Firmware ?? Android belong to Google. Linux.. UNIX.. vida.. this is nothing as main matter the stable and strong of the Hardware.

Very close, I am giving you another hint. British makes the heart of TV. Almost 75% all the tv in the world.

sorry, this 75% very wrong. if you said Holland i could agree...Turkey are one leader over all EU and the rest of the world, because they got the patent of LCD TV. the bad Vestel

Your are right.
Vestel was the largest TV producer in Europe with more than 8 million units sold, but compare to this 100M 4K UHD Sets To Be Sold Worldwide In 2018.

Sorry. I'm in the USA. I have never heard of that brand. And I am a tvman.

Re: Cheap China, Japan Tv actually are made in the British!

first we need to know about this company MediaTek , MStar.


MediaTek offers 4K TV SoC to tune any signal, with Linux, Android.

There are not a huge number of announcements chasing the smart TV SoC market, given that MediaTek and its MStar subsidiary seems to have it pretty much taped, with around 70% market share and rising. So, when MediaTek announces a new generation of chips, they are more or less designed from a list of requirements from the entire market.

Back in 2011 when MediaTek bought MStar Semiconductor it came on the back of Broadcom and Intel both pulling out of TV SoCs, and a variety of bankruptcies and sale of other providers such as Trident and Zoran. Today only struggling Sigma Designs seems to maintain a presence in Smart TV SoCs in the West, alongside MediaTek, and there are residual Asian efforts from LG, Panasonic and Realtek in Taiwan, all on a tiny market share.

This week MediaTek announced its Ultra HD TV SoC supporting Dolby Vision, as well as an alternative called Hybrid Log Gamma, a form of High Dynamic Range (HDR) designed by the UK's BBC and Japan's NHK – that way it covers all bases. The SoC is called simply the MT5597 and the company says that any TV worldwide can use this chip.

It is not surprising that MediaTek told us that already several top TV manufacturers have selected the SoC to power next generation devices due out at the end of Q2, imminently. IT offers software support for two operating systems, Android TV 7.0 and Linux OS.

The chip features 64-bit ARM Cortex processors, and the company claims that the UX is good, although surely that's for the TV designer to establish, and it offers optimal power consumption.

Chips in the past always slowly take on-board more and more of the feature set of an end user device. It happened with the PC, and it has happened with the phone, so it makes sense that the UI will get bound to the OS/SoC in the TV market.

All the graphics power comes from an ARM Mali450 GPU, and the SoC can decode both VP9 and HEVC codecs for 4K streaming using 10bit color depth at 60 frames per second – the default next gen set of specifications. Getting screens to keep up with that is another matter.

But the real trick here is being able to work with any popular broadcast modulation. As SoCs get more and more power, they can adopt software defined RF features, and this chip can digest signals from ATSC, DVB-T/S/C/T2/S2, DVB-C, DTMB and ISDB-T broadcast standards.

The technology reserves transport stream inputs for external demodulators for other countries or areas. MT5597 makes it possible for TV makers to port the same UI to worldwide TV models easily.

“With the MT5597, MediaTek continues its legacy of enabling manufacturers with leading technology solutions to help build the best digital TVs on the market,” said Joe Chen, Executive Vice President and Co-COO, MediaTek. “Built to provide a premium feature-set in the mainstream product range, MT5597 gives TV makers the power of choice with MediaTek's unmatched display, picture quality technologies and global demodulation support.”

Significant cost savings are possible by only having to develop one worldwide platform and the flexibility to choose from a wide variety of panel options preserves picture quality.

The MT5597 also offers protection against motion judder using 4k Motion Estimation, and all the major HDR specs – Dolby Vision, HDR10, and the BBC HLG. Slowly this market is moving to a monopoly position about as clear as Intel's dominance of PCs.

The British owns the brain of the TV ....call..... Arm Holdings

Re: Cheap China, Japan Tv actually are made in the British!

Arm Holdings

Arm Holdings is a British multinational semiconductor and software design company, owned by SoftBank Group and its Vision Fund. With its headquarters in Cambridgeshire, within the United Kingdom, its primary business is in the design of ARM processors (CPUs).

Unlike most traditional microprocessor suppliers, such as Intel, Freescale (the former semiconductor division of Motorola, now NXP Semiconductors) and Renesas (a former joint venture between Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric), Arm only creates and licenses its technology as intellectual property (IP), rather than manufacturing and selling its own physical CPUs, GPUs, SoCs or microcontrollers. This model is similar to fellow British design houses: ARC International, and Imagination Technologies (that both have stopped competing, at least as such, as both got bought) who have similarly been designing and licensing GPUs, CPUs, and SoCs, along with supplying tooling and various design and support services to their licensees.

Arm processors are used as the main CPU for most mobile phones, including those manufactured by Apple, HTC, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung.

Companies often license these designs from Arm to manufacture and integrate into their own System on chip (SoC) with other components such as GPUs (sometimes Arm's Mali) or radio basebands (for mobile phones).

In addition to licenses for their core designs, Arm offers an "architectural license" for their instruction sets, allowing the licensees to design their own cores that implement one of those instruction sets. An Arm architectural license is more costly than a regular Arm core license, and also requires the necessary engineering power to design a CPU based on the instruction set. (Highlights from WiKi)

Chinese TVs but inside have British brains . your cellphone maybe has ARM processors which are everywhere..everything.....maybe have backdoor Program..... ..like virus...

its not Only Chinese. Marketing and collecting User behavior Information must all electronic manufacture planted way to collect this Info.
for example Hisense 4K TV, i found one M series The TV make ghost wake up every morning at 5 AM. the led indicator change from RED to BLUE and blink RED again and go back to STB ( this all happen with out LCD or backlight turn on ) even id the TV not plugged to Internet LAN or WLAN. not only this brand the Korean one make this too but at operation only.
i tell always , don't let your smart TV plugged to internet when you don't used app on it. or use Skype etc.

MT SOc not only its architecture what you talk on. now AMlogic are leader too. but MT had its negative point. used more power and it had Heat problem. with mobile if used... you can ise your mobile as heater too in winter. and at summer time don't forget to safe it at refrigerator when it not in use

Re: Cheap China, Japan Tv actually are made in the British!

I agree with you. i Will consider opening a network security company because there is a big profit than tv repair.

Are Smart TV's safe?
The other TVs should be safe so long as you have the voice recognition features turned off. ... TV companies may be experts making great displays, but they're not networking or security pros. For example, Samsung's data leak came about because its smart TVs were sending data over the 443 TCP socket. That sounds good.

Do smart TVs need antivirus protection?
Samsung is now offering smart TVs not one but two antivirus engines to detect and contain malware for its platform. ... The third-party product is McAfee Security for TV. But unlike PC users, Samsung Smart TV owners only need to activate the software and won't need to make an additional purchase.

that is all because the smart TVs are 32-64 bit very powerful computer. It’s so easy for software developers use assembly language to implant a Trojan.
