On February 21, Skyworth and BOE jointly launched the A5F Pro and JD100 Mini, two innovative models that introduce upgraded technology in the mid-range TV market. The A5F Pro features an advanced ultra-black wide-angle paper-like screen, and the JD100 Mini offers a cost-effective solution for larger screen sizes. Both models are powered by the latest Coocaa AI Smart System.
A5F Pro: A Game-Changer in the Display Technology
The A5F Pro is undoubtedly the highlight of the event, particularly due to its incorporation of BOE’s ADS Pro technology, which enables the ultra-black wide-angle paper-like screen. This new screen uses layers like STM full-view compensation, AG anti-glare, and LR low-reflection, all working together to provide zero reflection, zero glare, high contrast in ambient light, and consistent color accuracy from all angles.
OLED TVs are often seen as the pinnacle of visual quality, with deep black levels and remarkable contrast. Skyworth acknowledged this during the launch event but emphasized that Mini LED TVs, like the A5F Pro, also deliver exceptional contrast. In fact, Mini LED TVs can even surpass OLED TVs in terms of ambient light contrast, offering a more realistic viewing experience.
Ambient Contrast Ratio (ACR) is a critical indicator of real-world performance. Data shown during the launch demonstrated that ADS Pro displays outperform OLED under ambient light conditions, with minimal light interference, even beating VA screens with LR anti-reflection layers.
This means that in most household viewing environments, the A5F Pro can offer purer blacks and better contrast than OLED, especially when used in bright settings.
Wide Viewing Angles with No Color Shifting
A major breakthrough in the A5F Pro is its wide-angle color accuracy. Traditional paper-like screens often suffer from color shifting at different angles, but the A5F Pro shows no color distortion, even when viewed from the side. For example, the red of flowers remains true even when viewed from an angle.
In contrast, other models with similar resolutions and screen zones displayed noticeable color shift, turning the image greyish when viewed from the side, resulting in a much worse viewing experience.
Coocaa AI: Smart Features Beyond Expectations
While breakthroughs in display technology were expected, the integration of Coocaa AI and DeepSeek models is where Skyworth demonstrates its ambition in the smart ecosystem space. The AI’s ability to understand ambiguous user commands and provide precise responses is impressive—such as recognizing the phrase “a man and woman at the bow of a ship in the wind” and correctly identifying the movie as Titanic, including actors, plot, and quotes.
AI’s creative capabilities extend to image generation, such as producing 4K-resolution Monet-style nightscapes within minutes, or even composing original music, allowing users to create their own unique pieces.
Future AI Upgrades
Skyworth TV Product Manager, Tang Shaowei, revealed that Skyworth plans a new round of AI upgrades in April. In addition to passive services, the AI will provide proactive services, opening up new possibilities for transforming the television experience.
A5F Pro Launch Details
The A5F Pro will be officially available for purchase on March 7 at the following prices:
- 65-inch: $625 (¥4299)
- 75-inch: $765 (¥5399)
- 85-inch: $1030 (¥7299)
- 100-inch: $2050 (¥14499)
Conclusion: A Strong Contender in the Mid-Range Market
With its ultra-black wide-angle paper-like screen and significant improvements in picture quality, coupled with reasonable pricing, the A5F Pro is poised to be a formidable competitor in the mid-range TV market. It may even mark a turning point for paper-like screens in the television industry.
