Coocaa 55Y72+ 4K UHD Google TV Review

The Coocaa 55Y72+ 4K UHD Google TV might be just what you need. This 55-inch television packs a punch with its Google TV smart features, HDR support, and sleek design, all at a competitive price point. In this comprehensive review, we’ll delve into its features, performance, and overall value.

Design and Build Quality

The Coocaa 55Y72+ sports a modern, borderless design (V4.0) with a matte black finish. This minimalist aesthetic allows the focus to remain on the screen. The plastic stand is functional and sturdy enough for everyday use. While the materials aren’t premium, they feel adequately robust for the price. The dimensions with the stand are 1226.1 x 787.3 x 273.9 mm, and without the stand, they measure 1226.1 x 721.7 x 81.2 mm. The relatively slim profile makes it suitable for wall mounting (VESA 200mm x 200mm) as well.

Picture Quality

The 55Y72+ boasts a 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) powered by a BOE HV550QUB-F70(4.0) open cell panel. While the typical brightness is rated at 250 nits and the color gamut covers 68% of the NTSC standard, the picture quality is decent for everyday viewing in moderately lit rooms. It uses a Direct LED (DLED) backlight system (OD35). HDR10 and HLG support are included, providing improved contrast and dynamic range with compatible content.

However, don’t expect the deep blacks and vibrant colors of higher-end TVs. The 60Hz refresh rate is standard for this price range and is suitable for most TV shows and movies, but gamers looking for smoother motion might want to consider a higher refresh rate display. The response time is rated at 8ms.

Smart Features and Performance

One of the standout features of the Coocaa 55Y72+ is its Google TV operating system. Powered by an MT9602 chipset (A53*4-1.5GHz CPU and Mali-G52 GPU) with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of eMMC flash storage, the TV offers a smooth and responsive smart TV experience. Navigating menus, launching apps (YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video are pre-installed), and using voice commands through the included voice remote (Model: 8A, Picture: N030107-002788-001) are generally lag-free.

The built-in Google Assistant allows for hands-free control of the TV and other smart home devices. The dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) and Bluetooth 5.0 ensure stable connectivity.

Find-my Remote Control

Skyworth has an integrated buzzer inside the remote control. When you can’t find the remote, simply activate the search function on the TV, and the remote will be beeping to help you locate its position.

How to Activate “Find-my Remote Control” functions

1. Press the button on the bottom or side of TV.
2. TV menu appears, long press button
3. The remote control buzzes, go look for it

If you have more children at home or often cannot find the remote control, this function can solve your troubles and give you better user experience.

Audio Performance

The Coocaa 55Y72+ features two 10W box speakers, providing adequate sound for casual viewing. Dolby Audio is supported, enhancing the audio experience. However, for a more immersive cinematic experience, a dedicated soundbar or home theater system is recommended. Dolby Atmos is not supported.

Connectivity

The TV offers a good selection of connectivity options, including:

• 3 x HDMI Ports
• 2 x USB Ports
• 1 x RF Input (Antenna)
• 1 x Composite (AV)
• 1 x Ethernet Input
• 1 x Optical SPDIF Output
• 1 x Earphone Jack

This allows for connecting various devices such as gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and external audio systems.

Gaming Performance

While the 60Hz refresh rate and 8ms response time aren’t ideal for hardcore gamers, the inclusion of a Game Mode helps to minimize input lag and improve responsiveness for casual gaming.
