Conclusion:
It is same for me now to discuss what I like and don't like with this Coocaa model the one they call Coocaa 55Y72 Google TV. I see it all, the only downside in this model is the back cover, since it is only made out of galvanized sheet to cut cost. 

Downside for me since this kind of metal it is not strong as what we expected. It curved outward when I pulled out and curved onward every time I pushes it. Therefore, with the weight it have, wall mounting it will deform the back cover a little bit outward.

But overall, this Coocaa Google TV with model name 55Y72 is a beauty. The basic version of Google system doesn't affect it's feature.

    1. hi my friend, sorry for not making my point clear. This TV enters the internet normally and is not blocked. The slow I am talking about here is because Google TV OS does not support customization to be able to stop unwanted tasks and not clean up RAM while in use. so when using for a long time my TV will slow down due to hardware overload (RAM). can you guide me to make a custom ROM for this TV? or is it possible to Root it to get deeper customization rights into GOOGLE TV OS system?
