Who is the most attractive smart TV brand in 2015? LeTV? Millet? Or are those television brands big brothers? No! No, it is a micro whale. On August 13 this year, the smart TV brand "Micro-whale" jointly invested by Chinese culture, Alibaba and Tencent was officially launched. On the same day, the micro-whale released the first 55-inch Internet TV in Shanghai, and then the micro-whales began to enter more people's horizons. In the past double 11th, the microwhale had only achieved a good performance of 27,865 units in the Tmall flagship store just by virtue of this TV, setting a sales championship for Tmall 55-inch single-item products, and easily obtaining a million-dollar TV explosion. Section title. Microwhales have won the favor of consumers by virtue of the market positioning of the main young people group, high-definition video transmission, massive video content, convenient interactive experience, and many leading product performances. This is why they have only made a sale for a hundred days. One of the reasons for such good performance. If you think that the pace of the micro whale will slow down, then you are wrong. On November 19th, the micro whale released a new product, the 43-inch ultra-high definition television, codenamed Cannon. Can this product refresh the impressive achievements of its big brother? The answer, we can only wait and see.
This time, I was fortunate enough to get a chance to try out the Firebird too, and I can directly hit the real performance of this 43-inch cannon. Because it is a courier and transportation, the micro-whale uses the wooden frame to fix the packing box. Many pictures have been exposed on these networks and I will not repeat too much. Let's just skip the box and face the product.
Accessories:
In the accessories, the micro whale is considered very meticulous, and even the remote control of the TV, the small wrench that mounts the pedestal bracket are all equipped, and five mounting screws (one extra to prevent loss) are provided at the same time. It can be seen that in the details, the micro whale brand has considered the user and added points for the user's medical examination:
The base supports, the micro whale is made of plastic material. The quality of the whale is reflected in its sense or actual use. Its strong supporting ability means that there is no need to worry about the quality of the plastic being inferior to that of some alloys. Cannon":
Simplicity has always been a breakthrough for smart products. From the traditional remote control to the upgrade of remote control in recent years, it marks the continuous upgrading of television control. The micro-whale, giving up the way to control the air, used a direct Bluetooth remote control voice control, so that voice commands directly control the computer, rather than through the action to control. This will undoubtedly solve the severe patients who are lazy, and it is simply their savior. In actual operation, the speed of voice reception and feedback is satisfactory. In addition, I am talking about Mandarin that is not standard enough. Microwhales can still be accurately identified:
Compared to traditional power plugs, the power plug of the micro whale is optimized for design, because most people's TVs will choose to put on the wall, the traditional line plug usually takes into account the distance between the TV and the wall outlet, and after plug in If you do not perform hidden line processing, it will look unsightly. The micro whale adopts a 90° right-angle design that can effectively solve this problem:
Appearance process:
The body frame of the micro whale is made of plastic material and the control of the frame is very good. This reminds me of the non-rimless mobile phones that are constantly being broken by some mobile phone brands in the market today. On the other hand, the thickness of the micro whale is really thin, and the thinnest place on the top can be about 2 cm in size. At the bottom, because of the built-in sound, the thickness is more full:
In the entire front border position, only the middle of the bottom border is painted with a light-colored logo. If you are a little further away, you hardly feel it. Personally, I personally do not like the obvious product of the logo. This looming feeling is very appealing to my personal preference:
The entire backside is made of plastic material, and underneath it is overly smooth. The upper part is thin and the lower part is plump:
A smart TV does not have strong interface support, so it must not be a good TV. Micro Whale contains HDMI2.02, AV output 1, USB3.02, Audio output (3.5mm headphone jack) 1, SPDIF fiber interface 1, network port (10/100M) 1, Tuner1, debugging interface (2.5mm headphone jack) 1, these rich interfaces have made the micro whale's high cost performance. Although the 43-inch interface compared with 55-inch Big Brother has castrated, but in actual use is enough for ordinary users to choose. For me personally, I mainly use the USB interface and the Audio output hole:
The main switch of a microwhale is in the lower right corner of the TV and cannot be seen from the front. Therefore, from the perspective of the main vision, you cannot see its presence:
There is a breathing light in the lower left corner, and it lights up when it is turned on:
screen:
The screen can be said to be the soul of the TV, and the micro whale uses the LG hard screen imported from LG. With this screen, the viewing angle of the TV can be greatly improved, and the color reproduction is also more accurate. I remember that when I was in college, I had a communication with the brand sales that sold TV. Both the hard screen and the soft screen had their advantages. When I was selling, I would focus on publicity based on the preferences of consumers. So, for the hard and soft screens in the market, There is some misunderstanding. For me personally, I prefer hard screens. I really can't stand the distortion of watermarks on the screen:
A good screen can achieve a better viewing angle. I personally tested it. I personally feel that the micro whale can almost 178 degrees of official propaganda, but there is no better tool to measure and can't give more specific angle values ​​(real shots In the figure, there is no maximum angle of the side). Even at large angles, the picture remains clear and undistorted. Although under normal circumstances, there is little need to watch TV content at a large angle, there is a better viewing angle that also adds points to the user experience:
With the continuous upgrading of mobile phone pixels, the standards of auxiliary equipment we need have also been continuously improved. The micro whale's LG imported 4K screen can display the high-definition pictures on the mobile phone or computer.
In order to better detect the screen of the micro-whale, I downloaded the screen monitor, the most popular screen detection software on the market, and tested the screen color, dead pixels, and pictures of the micro-whale. The result of the test is that the micro-whale is still excellent. The color is excessively smooth, the screen has no dead pixels, and high-definition pictures play clearly. Even in the case of advanced testing, micro-whales are not weak:
sound:
In order to perform more perfectly, the microwhale did not hesitate to increase the thickness of the bottom, only to make the sound better. In actual experience, the actual effect of the micro whale is still very good. After returning from the film festival and some musical tests on music radio stations, if it is not a professional music enthusiast who has higher requirements than the average person for the sound, then I think the sound effects of the whale will be sufficient. In the television, I think the sound effect of small whale is a relatively good manufacturer. Without the need for external speakers, this effect is still very satisfactory:
remote control:
With the remote control, we can achieve more functional transformation. When watching a movie, you can view some of the movie's information through the remote control, and you can also use the remote control to switch between sharpness. When adjusting the definition, I personally feel that there is not much difference between Blu-ray and Ultra-clear. There is no obvious difference. For those who are too delicate, I think as an individual user, it is hard to notice:
One of the highlights of the micro whale is its remote control that can implement voice commands. Although the cost of the remote control is higher than that of other brands, it does increase the user experience. In actual use, it is also able to achieve rapid search, but also can achieve fast features. If you want to check the weather, you will feel its magic. Although this feature has long since ceased to be new on mobile phones, there are still bright spots and new ideas on television:
Internet resources:
Since it is a smart TV, its strong network resources are very necessary. Under the oppression of Big Brother Radio and TV, more and more boxes were killed and more and more resource content became "non-compliant." So, what about the micro-whale's internet resources? In the resource pool of the micro-whale, we can see a large amount of resources, including many films that were newly launched in 2015, and Hollywood and other large-scale films. At the same time, the micro whale also continued to update the 4K blockbusters and realized the uninterrupted experience of the 4K source. In addition, the micro whale will also track and update the current hot events, entertainment headlines, variety shows, David's TV dramas, and sports.
For those who have children at home, the children’s exclusive channel provided by the Little Whale is definitely a good choice. It includes the children's science education, learning, and entertainment that you want and can't think of:
system:
Most of the mainstream smart TVs on the market today are 32-bit CPU processors, including LeTV and Xiaomi, while the microwhale uses the more advanced 64-bit. In other words, in the next few years, other brands will be upgrading and your micro whale will maintain a certain leading position.
For 64-bit processors, this is also the trend of smart TVs in the coming years. The whale's forward vision has kept it in the leading position in the industry. The embodiment of high-performance CPU makes video games more smooth. Originally intended to test Need for Speed, but I do not know why, downloaded a few times can not be achieved, so the test of other games, no stuck at all:
As a 4k TV, its decoding capability also requires us to personally evaluate it. As we all know, TVs sold in shopping malls are basically high-definition video sources. In order to measure the decoding capability of micro-whales, I downloaded a large-capacity film source as a test. During the test, you can almost reach the point and the picture runs smoothly. This kind of RGBW4K is more clear than 1080p, and the user's actual experience is even better. With the gradual popularity of 4K, I think 1080p should gradually come to the stage of history:
The micro whale's built-in Android system gives it more features than TV. During the process of downloading the application, I found that I could not find a place to search for the application. So I used the USB flash drive to download and then install it on the TV. After installation, some functions of Android phones can be basically implemented. In addition, since the Android system is used, running points should be its compulsory course. Therefore, I once again installed the running software and ran several times. Each time there were some slight differences in the results, but overall about 23,000, this value was still unsatisfactory for the mobile phone and tablet, but for For a television, I think it is enough:
After turning on the Bluetooth remote controller and the TV, we can start a micro whale trip. Through the cooperation of WeChat and computer QR code, you can register your account. After registration, by activating the member account, the whale's massive resources can be viewed directly. If you do not activate your membership, there are some restrictions, such as some 4K movies (returning from the holy day):
In GM, you can see information about settings such as network, Bluetooth, and audio and video, including information such as bundled accounts and contact customer service. Of course, there is some relevant information about this TV. At this time, you can't simply treat it as a TV. I feel like a big screen tablet is a good metaphor:
to sum up:
As a young smart TV, I think the micro whale deserves the name "small cannon." After several days of use and evaluation, the individual feels that the micro whale's TV system is still very simple and user-friendly. Clear partitioning not only saves users time but also increases the actual experience of the product. As a spoiler of traditional television, the micro-whale is destined to usher in a new height with its reasonable price and high quality product quality.
Note: There are distortions in the panorama of television throughout the text. This is related to my SLR camera and has nothing to do with the micro-whale TV itself (micro-whale TV, straight!)
