Devant 55WIZ830 55-inch LED TV unboxed, in the flesh

Devant sent us another huge TV set last week. This is the second unit they’ve delivered for review (the first one we got to keep) and this time, it’s the biggest in their line-up — a 55-inch 3D LED TV.

We’ve actually seen this model in store shelves since last month and I really liked the design and slim profile of this one. The polished silver and crystal design coupled with a very thin bezel gives it that elegant and sexy look.

We tried to unbox the whole set over the week-end and the thing is actually pretty heavy (weighs 34kg). Assembly was quick and easy — took me less than 10 minutes and involved a total of 6 screws.

The back of the display panel looks very bare but the essential ports are all there — 3 HDMI ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, antenna, VGA, SPDIF, component and headphone jack. The USB port supports files such as JPEG, MP3 and MKV for direct playback.

One of the first things I actually noticed during unboxing is the TV stand (it actually reminded me of the stand design used by Samsung before in their Series 7 line). It feels a bit wobbly though so you have to screw them in really tight.

The set comes with this simple remote which is also used when switching the Smart TV function for access to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and a basic browser.

There’s a WiFi dongle included in the package which you can plug at the back on one of the USB ports.

For the 3D feature, Devant included 2 active 3D glasses. The TV supports 2D to 3D conversion but it’s not as refined and blurry-free compared to watching native 3D content.

Here are the specs for this unit.
