Mystery TVs: features, lineup and operation

Knowledge of the features of Mystery TVs shows that they are not inferior at least to the products of the world's leading brands. This brand can offer consumers a wide range of models. But it is important to know the basic practical nuances and features of the operation of such equipment.

The technique of the Mystery brand belongs to to the budget class. Any TV Mystery fully corresponds to this description. The company initially focused on acoustics and electronics for automobiles. The country of manufacture of these television receivers is Taiwan. It is curious that the company was founded in the United States.

All television receivers of this brand always contain MTV symbols in their names. The next two numbers indicate the diagonal of the screen, which in different versions ranges from 24 to 55 inches. The next two digits represent the production batch. There are such additional letter designations:

• L - LED backlight;
• T - tuner of DVB-T2 standard is used;
• A - the Android operating system is used, which realizes the potential of Smart TV;
• U - especially high resolution of the Ultra HD level (other resolutions are not marked);
• W - white body.

Mystery TVs are divided into several specific groups. But all of them are made with LCD-type screens, which is quite modern and reliable. In the "34" line, there are 2 TV receivers with a resolution of the 4K level. There are 6 more less advanced devices with full Smart TV functionality. Other characteristics:

• picture brightness up to 350 cd per 1 sq. m;
• playback of WMA, MKV files;
• a variety of additional features, including a snooze view and a sleep timer.

The 33 series also includes 2 UHD models and 5 Smart TV options. The selection includes TVs with all screen sizes produced under this brand. You can view photos, videos of various formats; HDMI, USB are required. It is worth noting the lack of a DVB-S tuner.

There are only 4 models in the small 32 series. But 3 of them can boast of the Smart TV mode... The screen diagonal varies from 43 to 55 inches. There is 8 GB of internal memory, which is enough for "smart" functions. The VA class matrix pleases, but once again we have to state the absence of a DVB-S tuner. If you need simple devices without Smart, you need to pay attention to the 24 and 26 series.

Quite often, including when using Mystery TVs, it becomes necessary to connect a phone. The easiest way to do this is to connect it directly with a USB cable. The corresponding connectors will definitely be found in mobile phones and TVs of any modern model. But the downside is that in this way, it will only be possible to reproduce using the capabilities of TV files stored in the memory of the gadget.

In this case on the screen you can display everything that will be simultaneously broadcast on the phone display. Professionals say that the image is mirrored. When using Android technology, another option is available - connection via Wi-Fi Direct, the TV then acts as a regular access point.Files are transferred by clicking the submit button. The procedure for updating programs is usually prescribed in manuals, which are recommended to be read in full before starting operation.

It is important that the screen panel can be damaged by any careless movement. Of course, you only need to place the TV in a dry place, on a stable support with grounding. They only plug it into a grounded, serviceable outlet.

Other important guidelines are:

• carefully observe the regulatory type and power parameters;
• avoid contact with liquids and corrosive substances on the TV;
• check the reliability of electrical connections so as not to cause a fire;
• if water and hazardous substances get inside, if the plug is damaged or if the electrical systems of the device are clearly defect, it is better to call an experienced technician.

The company strongly warns against attempts to transport the TV without the original packaging. In the absence of it, the safety of the main components and the maintenance of functionality are not guaranteed. Transportation is allowed at temperatures not lower than -20 degrees. During operation, it is better to place the TV away from heaters, central heating batteries and other heat sources. It can be mounted on a wall only using proprietary mounting methods and with firm confidence that the wall will withstand the load.

In the instructions for the use of Mystery TVs, it is mandatory that terrestrial television of DVB-T, DVB-T2 standards can be received only on a decimeter antenna.

It is recommended to connect the antenna first and then the power supply. The choice of the power source is made by pressing the corresponding button installed on the TV itself or on the remote control to it.

The tuning scheme for receiving conventional TV channels is approximately as follows:

• select the menu language;
• choose the desired country;
• carry out an automatic search (in analog mode, up to 100 terrestrial channels can be found, in digital up to 200).

The order of on-air broadcasts can always be changed using a specialized editor. You can rename only programs in the analogue part of the broadcast. But there is an opportunity to hide any unnecessary program, even broadcasting in the digital range.

You should pay special attention to possible malfunctions (although they rarely happen with the Mystery technique).

If there is sound but no picture, the worst cause of breakage may be screen damage. In this case, usually all that remains is to replace it. The chances of successful repair of such a unit without replacement, even when contacting a reputable workshop, are very small. But sometimes failures are related to the control board, video subsystem. And in some cases, the wires connecting the power supply to the TV screen are simply deformed, or their contacts are broken. If the sound itself disappears, you first need to try to adjust its correct level and check if the sound is muted due to a failure in the broadcast, due to poor recording quality. You can also assume:

• speaker malfunctions;
• crashes of a software nature;
• power failures of speakers;
• manufacturing defect.

Even standard files with the APK extension can be used to flash Mystery TVs. However, you will have to mark in the settings the permission to use software from unidentified sources. And so that the TV definitely cannot be flashed remotely by any hackers or other intruders, it is best to cancel this setting after the procedure is completed. Wherein files for firmware should be taken from official sources... And even in this case, it is not recommended to get involved in such a process, it should not become an end in itself.

For television receivers Mystery, you can safely use any remote control of the same brand. But if it is impossible to find it on sale, then an excellent choice would be control devices under the Hyundai, Fusion or Supra brand. The technical "stuffing" in all such models is more or less homogeneous, which reduces the likelihood of problems. The code for the universal remote control is always given in the instructions. It must be entered in the window that appears when you press the appropriate button on the remote control (most often audio, CD, PVR, DVD).

It is useful in the end to highlight the opinions of buyers and specialists about Mystery TVs. Devices of this brand are usually compact and lightweight (in comparison with other similar equipment from other companies). Color reproduction does not cause problems, the picture quality is also generally pleasing. In any case, people who are not very well versed in the features of HD broadcasts are happy with everything. Generally the designs are well thought out and quite comfortable.

Viewing angles are satisfactory. The menus are clearly structured. Connecting external equipment takes place without significant problems. Compatibility with most satellite receivers is guaranteed. Only occasionally do complaints about design and sound quality appear, but at this price point, this is perfectly acceptable.

Also in the reviews they note:

• the ability to read a fairly wide range of formats;
• convenience of the control panel;
• thoughtful settings;
• high build quality;
• lack of headphone inputs in a number of models;
• not quite convenient location of the rear connectors.
