How to Install Netflix to Coocaa 40S3U Smart TV?

Coocaa 40S3U Smart TV is running on top of Skyworth's self - developed operating system Coolita or Coocaalite. Therefore, installation of other applications such as Netflix is not possible.

Phone, Video and Laptop Casting

You can also able to share your mobile phone screen, content and movies into a bigger screen even in the absent of internet, all of this is made possible by Casting technology.

Coolita casting feature comes in three options, Cast Your Phone, Cast a Video and Cast Your Laptop which is available on both iPhone and Android.


Wi-Fi Signal 2.4 G

Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi signal it can detect is limited only to 2.4 G signal, better than nothing in my opinion. Since you need a power of internet to access most of the pre-installed applications.


Applications Loading

There is no shortcuts, after it goes online, it need sometimes to load all of install pre-installed application to appears on your screen. Just keep refreshing it. In my own experience, it takes somewhere 5 to 6 minutes before it successfully loaded.


Coocaa 40S3U Coocaalite OS Smart TV Design and Technical Review

The Skyworth 40STD4000 and the Coocaa 40S3U  is 99.9% identical, there only differences is the logo. Both are powered by Quad Cortex-A53 with 1.896 GHz CPU and ARM Dvalin MP2 by Shenzhen Shiningworth Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese made GPU.

The eMMC or the Internal storage media also known as ROM is only 4GB and the RAM capacity is still unknown.


Front Design

The design of this Coocaa LED TV is known as "boundless display", 40-inch Smart TV. Meaning 98% of the screen to body ratio is dedicated to serve as display or lighted portion. 

Therefore, 39.5-inch is fair enough however, the result on actual measurement goes beyond expectation. It reach 39.50-inch lighted portion. Above is the actual image of Coocaalite 1.0.0.0 System version 2.0 OS based Smart TV. (Not connected on internet)


Back Cover Design

The back cover of Coocaa 40S3U is made of galvanized sheet plate painted in black blended with nice curves and edges, makes it elegant. Please refer to image above as the actual photo of it's back cover.


Diamond Edge Design

While a diamond edge design is noticeable on the edge. This nicely designed edge makes the TV back cover looks smart. However, in real life, no one is really paying attention to a back cover.

Hardware Info

According to the actual image above, the data was found inside factory settings stated that the CPU is 1.896Ghz Quad Cortex-A53. GPU is ARM Dvallin MP2, RAM is undefined, ROM or EMMC is 4GB. All of this components is attached to AMLOGIC_AB311 board.

Available inputs are as follows, 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 Antenna port, 3.5mm audio out jack, 2 HDMI ports, RCA jack and a RJ 45 input for your network. Aside for this physical ports, it also comes with a 2.4G Wi-Fi adapter.


Coocaa Power Cord and Input

Power cord is nicely place on the side of the back cover. Nothing to say about it, however, if you are looking for a power cord replacement of your Skyworth 40STD4000, we know where to buy it. 

And for your safety, I will personally suggest to get one here: https://shopee.ph/Standard-240-Volts-Power-Cord-for-LED-TV-and-Printers-i.200675944.21104105351


Stand Design

Like the older 2021 and newer 2022 Coocaa smart TV models, this new breed of TV is equipped with what they called a twin tower stand design. With the design it really blend on any table and household. 

However, if you want to install it on your wall, then much better. Now if your looking for authorized installer, then I personally know someone who do it for you.


Coocaa 40S3U Air Vents

Most of us do not pay attention to the air vents at the back of the TV which is one factor to be consider if you want to last it longer. Why, because a hot air needed a exhaust to get out.

Conclusion:
Coocaa 40S3U Smart TV is just your basic smart TV. It is very similar to Coocaa 40S3M. Therefore if your asking me about Netflix installation guide for Coocaa 40S3U, then I am not helping.

Since, it is a basic smart TV only, installation of other apps aside from pre-installed software is not possible.

However, budget wise Coocaa 40S3U is one of the cheapest Smart TV to be offer in the Philippine market today. Price range between 5,000 - 7000 pesos only. Available in Coocaa's official store invol.co/clboc0f?url
