First: Picking
On the afternoon of the last day of the anti-fascist holiday, I received a phone call from STO, saying that I had a big guy and they had no car to send. I asked if I could mention it myself. If I could not delay the delivery one day, they would go to find a car.
big guy! It should be the aunt's public test, quickly drive to find the courier, and finally found in a corner of a remote warehouse.
The tiny whale delivered a very strong wooden box. There are warnings on the surface, fragile items and avoiding rain showers, but I believe couriers do not see much when loading.
Because the wooden box is too strong and heavy, in order to reduce the size and weight, they borrowed two screwdrivers to express the wooden box.
After demolition of the wooden box, just to be able to put it into, it is estimated that with a wooden box it really can not fit, 55-inch is really big.
Second article: Out of the box
The box is large, and the four straps are also quite strong.
Removing the plastic clips will allow the outer layer of the package to be separated from the bottom. This will make it easier to unpack the box. Unfortunately, this was only known after I got out of the TV. It was a great design.
There is an official WeChat QR code on the right, but there is no APP QR code.
On the left is the product's parameters. The manufacturer is TPV.
Energy efficiency labeling, level 3 energy efficiency, don't know if it's because of too much.
There is an accessory box and two left and right brackets on the top.
Accessories boxes and brackets are very delicate.
Take out the TV, there is a plastic bag with a display and the common front and back of the TV material cover, should be the industry standard
Whole body black, gold chamfer, a brief introduction, if the wall is also a good choice
Accessories box, there is a small test
Open the accessory box is a small parameter specification, very simple, unlike the thick one of the traditional home appliance manufacturers
Remote control, remote control battery, power cord, bracket fixing screws 5, more than one spare, or very careful
The power cord is a curved design on both sides, so don't worry about the space.
The bracket is also relatively simple to install, insert it, and tighten the supplied screws.
One side of the two screws, the hole is accurate, easy to install
The third article: boot and appearance details
Turn on a small whale and it's cute. The 55-inch whale is much larger than the 42-inch Skyworth.
The first time you turn on your computer, there is a shocking boot animation that is great.
At this point, you need a remote control and you will be prompted to install the battery and then pair it. The remote controller is Bluetooth, you can not use the infrared remote control must be facing the TV operation, while the front of the TV does not need to open the hole to the infrared receiver head, kill two birds with one stone. But the battery I do not expect you to give me the amount of energies, you are also good for the people to see Nanfu ah. This is still the way Xiaomi took his taste.
Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Menu keys to pair
The next step is to connect to a wifi network, and the remote control operates smoothly.
Tip login account, you can use WeChat login, like one!
The back of the TV is very concise. An L-shaped notch houses all the interfaces.
Parameter nameplate, total power 185W
An entire cooling hole, this effect is still very obvious in the actual use, after a long time use, there will be significant heat dissipation above.
On the back there is a mirror treated micro whale LOGO
A sticker is attached to the bottom of one of the screw holes.
Actually, the keyhole of Kensington is also discovered, and it may be a little bit of anti-piracy (li) when it is used in public display machines.
After the power cord is inserted, there are not many protruding parts. The power interface itself is in a relatively thin edge location, no problems hanging on the wall
The five-dimensional joystick button can be operated without a remote controller. It is definitely an emergency plan, but it is better than nothing. This time I forgot to take Haimi Di's remote control. There was no physical button tossing for a long time.
Interface gold plated, good workmanship.
The frame is protected by a protective film and the side is a brushed process that is very delicate.
Before and after the material contrast base, and black gold frame echo each other, just look at a corner is beautiful
Golden chamfer, English letter WHALEY
The thickness is very thin. To remove the circuit part, the thickness of the screen part is about the diameter of a dime coin. The border is less than half.
Remote control, feel good. In terms of operation, like Xiaomi, the key feel is several levels higher than Skyworth. The use of two 7-cell batteries in the hands is also more than a sense of weight in the CR2032's millet.
In the interface section, the configuration of the microwhales is relatively complete, except for the common video input, antenna input, USB, SD card, and network interface. Also comes with 2 USB3.0, SPDIF, an HDMI ARC, and an audio output (speech under audio output, etc.)
The fourth article: UI and setting interface
On the left is Xiaomi's UI. The overall style of the microwhale is similar to that of Xiaomi, except that the label moves from the top to the left. This design is very reasonable, because if the 16:9 screen is cut off, the middle area can be displayed. Very small.
On the left is the interface of Haimeidi. Haimeidi's interface is similar to traditional wide-area top box. It is easy to operate and suitable for middle-aged and old people.
On the left is Skyworth's cool open system interface. It is very old and UI people don't want to read it. It mainly depends on the setting interface. Micro whale is still very characteristic.
In terms of TV video source selection, micro-whales can be previewed, and traditional TV can only be selected to know whether it is the video source to be switched.
In the interface of the application, the micro-whale market has the same limited resources as most of the TVs with their own market.
There are basically only a few games and shopping apps
Search also has no result, it looks like this is why everyone understands why
The following is the setting interface. It can be seen that the setting interface of Skyworth is similar to the style of the millet box. Both are large icons for entrance. The micro-whale is divided into words, the micro-whale is more detailed, and there is a sense of miui.
Under common settings, except for general settings such as network Bluetooth
In image and sound, there is a situation mode selection, that is, where everyone adjusts brightness and contrast.
Click on this scenario to start the first time that the flashing boot animation is coming again. The idea is to give you a chance to experiment with various modes. However, due to the high contrast of this special effects animation, the color is very high. Bright, change is very rapid, so the switch mode does not show any difference at all. It's better to give a quiet picture or a movie poster to be intuitive. This is typical clever and clever result.
The last custom mode allows you to adjust the brightness and contrast. This adjustment menu is currently the deepest hidden layer in the TV I have seen. It is estimated that it is easy to get started.
Sound playback options, built-in speakers or external (analog digital audio output)
Digital audio output options
What is more interesting is that the microwhale has a nighttime volume control, but the practicality of this function is limited, because the volume of the micro whale TV around 4-5 in the middle of the night is already very loud. I have yet to dare to break this restriction and fear that my neighbors will knock on the door. I think if the micro-whale can give you an option here to customize the maximum volume of the night mode, then this feature is really useful.
The default definition of online video and other options are also here.
In the personalization settings, there is a host semaphore setting. People think of universal charger
You can choose from a variety of colors, and you can't make custom adjustments via the color wheel. Unfortunately, the default colors are not necessarily what I like.
And there will be inaccurate conditions, you can see the default setting of white light, in fact, is a bit purple.
Location, the default is Shanghai, can not wifi positioning?
Tucao updated the micro whale, and I upgraded the system before I tested it. However, the WeChat received a prompt, the 00.04.15 pushed is not the latest, the latest is 00.06.09. However, it is necessary for the microwhales to be sent from September 10th to 21st in batches. The push has not yet been received. Even if you check for updates, there will be no new version. Is it that upgrading servers cannot withstand the pressure of mass updates? There is no big deal now.
Fifth: Screen Test
The micro whale uses an IPS 4K screen imported from LG with a resolution of. Skyworth 42K1TY is also IPS, but the panel is unknown
The brightness is 100%
The color of the whale is very uniform, and the color temperature of the white display is more accurate.
Under a fixed aperture shutter, black turned black. Then stretch the shutter again. The light leakage on the right side of the screen of the microwhale is more obvious, but it is much better than the introductory Skyworth and does not affect the actual viewing experience.
Since there is currently no 4K output on the device, the computer connection can only run at 2k resolution. Specially produced a standard resolution test card, the resolution of the picture is panel resolution, 300dpi.
Copy the picture to SD card and display it in full screen.
Unfortunately, the microwhale cannot display point-to-point when reading SD card images. The picture preview should be 1080p or 720p mode. Causes the test card to completely lose its meaning.
The pixels are dense and the edge transition is relatively smooth.
Non-4K connection to the computer, the text is relatively clear, the conditions have not reached the point-to-point display, sorry.
The screen test software also can not run in 4K mode, but it can be seen that the text has been significantly larger than the pixels, and the display clearly is certainly no problem.
Viewing angle
Micro whale adopts LG's IPS hard screen, IPS features wide color gamut and wide viewing angle
It can be seen that at the viewing angle, there is no obvious deviation in the color at such viewing angles. The left perspective black is a bit whitish and there are no problems with the other angles. In general, this viewing angle has been fully able to meet the needs of home sofa viewing.
Part 6: Content Resources Competition
The micro-whale integrates resources such as Warner, DreamWorks, TVB, Premier League, and NBA. It also integrates Tencent's video, although it is not as hyped as a certain meter. But strength really can not be underestimated.
On the left is Xiaomi Right as a micro whale
In the drama column, we compared the top four TV series Baidu out of the four TV dramas: Splendid, Disguised, Unwitting Mage, and School Flower.
Thousands of bone camouflage, millet did not, micro whale
Thousands of bones, camouflage, mango TV, there is a fee, micro whale has.
Unwitting Mage, school flower close master neither
Above the competition of the American drama, this certain meter lost relatively badly, not directly.
Korean drama competition, I do not look at Korean drama, but I feel that the contents of a certain meter are old
Variety, a certain meter is also relatively miserable, micro-whales rely on Tencent, there are enough programs to choose.
Especially the micro whale has a good sound of copyright. This is basically rolling
The micro whale also has the copyright of other mainstream variety shows. There is no popular mango table because the mango table has its own TV.
In the mango station program, the Hydrangea Mango is basically nothing suspense, and it's home.
But in good voice, mango tv also lost. 
Anime is undoubtedly a rolling, micro whale's animation can keep up with the trend of the times, and it feels that one meter of animation is more of a children's program.
On the micro-whale, there was a swift and violent walk. There were also two hairy legs on the shoulders. It is rolling again and it will be even better if it can make a curtain.
The seventh article: APP installation
There are two ways to install the app for the micro-whale TV. One is to push and install it through the mobile phone APP. The second is to copy the SD card or U-disk and use local player to directly install.
TV cats are basically things that smart TVs will have to install. I hope not to be harmonized.
The installation was very smooth and the opening was quick. Compared to the 1st-generation leap of the millet box that had been used for a few years, the built-in box still couldn't escape the democratic movement for a few years.
The live broadcast is very clear, please don't mind the big head son. I took pictures from the morning and photographed the night children's files.
The contrast of the live picture is not only more clear, but also the color temperature is more accurate, which confirms the conclusion that the previous picture was taken in white.
The eighth article: 4K test
Dearly roasted duck slices, first time watching 4K can definitely be deeply shocked
This roast duck, cut it down, oil flow! Drooling straight drop
The magnified shots of the shots were completely unreplicated, just as the masters who took them directly cut the roast duck.
Ninth article: Mobile APP
Since smart TVs can connect to the Internet, it is possible to connect mobile phones. No app for smart TVs is embarrassed to greet others.
However, the mobile phone app has no QR code installed inside the box specification. Only open in the set mobile assistant to see the two-dimensional code of WeChat and mobile phone APP.
After scanning the QR code to download and install, open the mobile assistant, the humidity rose from 0% to 80%, and then enter the interface, do not know the reason for this design, completely do not understand.
Remote control interface, two-finger click on the screen can be cut, is cut off the screen in the TV, and then save directly to the phone
Click on the icon in the upper left corner of a TV with a wifi signal, you can go in and select the TV. If there are several TVs in your home, you can try it.
The screen-casting function can only cast picture music videos, the MX5 picture function cannot be used, and the video projection time is relatively long. If the resolution is lower, the video translation speed is faster.
Tenth: Voice Control Function (Lazy Mode)
When the microwhales were publicizing, they mentioned a lazy mode, which is the function of voice control and search.
In today's siri and various voice assistants, adding voice control to television is a very new thing to follow the trend.
As old Luo said, speech can now be considered a tool at best. It can't be considered as smart, let alone an assistant. I did some tests on the voice operations I could think of.
The voice operation is similar to the operation mode of the interphone. Press and hold the microphone button on the remote control to start talking. After releasing, the system starts to recognize.
First talk about unsuccessful recognition, or the system can not respond to voice commands, there are generally two types: one is your instruction is not enough standard, after such speech recognition, it will give you advice in the dialog box you Statements can also be interpreted as standard instructions. The second is temporarily not support this feature, then there is no way, for example, when the "stock market", TV suggested that you say to develop a name to view the stock, but for example the "shutdown" of this commonly used function, the system actually prompts is not supported this function. The voice assistant does not support the ability to open applications, such as "Turn on the TV cat". It can't intelligently determine the music or video I searched for, nor can I select the singer of the song. For example, the search for Dongfeng is broken. The MV is a cover version and the video is open source. With Tencent video.
The following talk about the correct use of voice assistant
Say the weather, come out the weather of the default address, can say the weather of a certain city separately, will appear the weather forecast. There is no problem with the American drama and movie. However, after the search is completed, no further operations can be performed. Only the remote controller can be used, and operations such as confirmation and playback cannot be completed. During playback, fast forward and rewind can be performed. It is convenient to say “fast forward + few minutesâ€. It can also be a simple trick, and she can't understand complicated tricks.
Article 11: Music
Originally I saw that there are reserved audio output ports for micro-whales. I thought that it would be a lot easier to use external speakers. But did not expect this interface's scary noise! However, the degree is no longer the level of noise, and there is no music output for the entire audio output. It is completely noise. And once you turn on the power, it should be a hardware problem, and it should be a special case, because if you can't use it at all, the audio output will lose its meaning. Asked the staff of the micro whale, they explained that the firmware version 06.09 has been greatly improved for audio, and it is not known whether the updated software will be good, but as I said before, updating the software is not what you want. Even more, the tiny whale will give you a push. It will not be your turn. You cannot do anything more.
Therefore, the problem of audio output, leaving it to see if it can be solved, or that the hardware problem. This can only be updated after 00.06.09, if the update has not been resolved, then 80% is a hardware problem.
Single on airborne speakers, said the ultimate, but also a little bit of meaning, but in the TV speakers, it is considered good, but due to cavity restrictions, bass is still relatively weak, when watching a larger movie scene, right The rendering of the atmosphere is still not enough place, looking forward to the launch of the micro-whale speaker.
========================== Split Line ====================== ==========
in conclusion:
This is the biggest express delivery I have received. No one! If you are big, it is estimated that how to get it is a big problem, of course, also thanks to Zhang Aunt!
As a company that did television for the first time, the micro-whale did give me a surprise. In the machine's workmanship and accessories of the process standards are very good. The whole viewing effect is very good. The most amazing thing is that the content is rich in content. If, as in the case of the microwhale staff, the source of the mango tv is added in November, a new 4K area is added, which is entirely against the crushing of other opponents. The system response is very smooth, and the operation logic is relatively simple. At least, parents who are used to a certain rice and mango dumplings do not have to re-educate and they will use it. Voice operation is also very convenient, and the recognition rate is also very high, although I always think that it is silly for a person to talk to the remote controller.
advantage:
Excellent workmanship, high value.
The 4K panel reached its proper level and showed good results.
Built-in player is relatively powerful, 4K decoding without pear, the file system reacts quickly.
The source of the program is already richer than some rice and mango. I hope to see a more powerful micro whale in November.
The built-in speakers perform well in most situations.
The price is more suitable
Disadvantages:
The first thing to do is to not know if it is an individual's audio output. If it is an individual reason, it also reflects the quality control problem of the micro-whale.
System stability should continue to be updated, occasionally playing built-in resources and automatic screen saver bug
The functions of the mobile phone APP can be more diversified, and WeChat directly integrates the remote control function to reduce the dependence on the app.
The bass part of the speaker is relatively weak
From perfection, or a small step. But the microwhales are very hard and cautious. Products can see the sincerity of the team everywhere, but there is still room for improvement in small details. If you have the need to purchase large-screen TVs, the micro-whale is definitely an option that you can not avoid. Especially after all the sources in November have been online, consumers can first look at content partners who are interested in them. If so, then he is a great value experience. Although smart TV hardware may become obsolete in a few years, the micro whale offers 3 HDMI ports and 3 USB ports. Even if the hardware is out of date, the 55-inch 4K panel will be difficult to be eliminated. Then a major TV box will be updated. Can fight for many more years.
And I took advantage of this opportunity to learn about the micro whale, and will continue to focus on the products of the micro whale. If the second generation can give consideration to buying one, we must first of all see how they can solve my audio output.
