Uncle and Loli: Whaley Micro Whale 55" 4K Internet Intelligent LCD TV

Primers

At noon that day, lying in bed and ignorant, looked at the opposite, light and ankles and the white walls, and then, arms, empty. A void...

Suddenly, when the phone rang, Aunt Zhang informed me that the TV was called a micro whale. It seems that my wall will no longer wobble. Aunt Zhang can also send a message to inform me: You have a girl called beautiful! ! Thank you, Aunt Zhang! !

Part One Microwhale TV Experience

First, true 4K, quality first

In the trial process, my first impression is that the performance of the micro-whale TV is excellent, with clear pictures, rich and accurate colors, rich picture layers, and natural soft transition. Although I personally have some views on the color tuning and other aspects of the micro-whale TV's presets, among them, the micro-whale TV is the best quality you can buy , and its quality is unbeatable in the same price TV. The leader.

Why do we need 4K TV? In fact, we need not only 4K, but also 8K or even higher! Because, we hope that the real world and our imagination can be accurately reproduced through the TV screen. We have a "true" pursuit.

There is such a sentence: "The perfect display can make the video call the same as the face-to-face conversation, so that watching movies becomes the same as looking out the window, so that the game becomes like the real adventure."

Compared with the resolution capability of the human eye, when the TV's hardware playback capability really reaches 4K, the screen is just as big, and the source is 4K sources, then the clarity of the picture presented to you has reached a higher level. You get a near-real visual presentation.

The 55-inch 4K Micro Whale TV is very good in terms of screen performance, it can show a very realistic picture.

For example, you can clearly see the animal's fur, just like a close-up photo.

For example, you can see the texture of oil painting on television.

True to 4K, the little girl on the TV can laugh so much.

True to 4K, you can see every eyelash in beautiful eyes.

Allows you to more clearly understand the beauty of nature.

You can see the picturesque beauty created by people.

We can see our blue planet more truly.

There is also a very natural green.

Of course, you will see more details because of the 4K really high definition. For example, fine hair on the face of a beautiful woman.

For example, there are many fine lines in the eyes of neighboring countries.

For example, the thick pink powder on the face of a roast duck.

Jian Huang division can easily judge this animation is not yellow.

Also, the knees of long leg goddesses are mostly black.

The above pictures are taken from the direct shooting of the micro whale TV screen.

In the process of taking photos and videos of the microwhales TV screens, I discovered that the camera's black card camera is not enough, the picture contrast is slightly larger, or the brightness or brightness of the picture is very high. Accurately reflect the TV screen.

Therefore, it must be noted that the pictures and videos in this report may differ from the true picture of a micro-whale TV. The picture of the micro-whale TV is generally superior to these pictures and videos.

Second, the HIFI speaker into the TV, the cinema into the bedroom

4K TV greatly enhances the picture quality of the TV, but if the sound effects are not synchronized, the creation of reality will be greatly reduced. Why is the cinema so attractive? From the technical point of view, it is because of the excellent picture quality provided by the large screen of the cinema and the first-rate sound provided by the high-end audio system, which gives people a realistic and realistic feeling.

I was impressed by the built-in speakers of the Micro Whale TV. Isn't the built-in TV generally a horn? Do you dare to call it "speaker"? ? Microwhale TV really uses a pair of unique speakers in a box structure. The box-type structure has been adopted by many LCD TVs, but the structure of the box-type speakers of the Little Whale TV is very unique.

After borrowing someone else's teardown map and opening the back cover, you can see a pair of long-shaped speakers placed on the bottom of the TV.

The structure of the box speaker of the Micro Whale TV is different from that of the mono-double-sided, patented bass unit. The tweeter is also quite unique, known as the "Yuan Bao Basin."

This unique structure of the micro-whale TV brings the performance of TV built-in speakers made of ordinary materials to the extreme. Although the rated power of this pair of speakers is only 20W, the energy is still sufficient. With a high level of audio tuning, the effects of the built-in speakers on the Little Whale TV are excellent.

For example, in the above video, I was recording the actual effect of the Dolby Atoms Blu-ray demonstration disk on the Micro Whale TV. Due to the poor recording equipment and upload compression, this effect has been greatly reduced compared to my actual experience. But you should still be able to hear that this little whale TV has a little meaning with this pair of built-in speakers. Another example is the following video, which is also the effect of the Dolby Atmos Blu-ray demonstration disk on the Micro Whale TV.

The built-in speakers of the Little Whale TV are tuned to the high-fidelity line, which is the so-called HIFI, to restore the sound recorded by the device as much as possible. If you are accustomed to the sound of heavy headphones, early listening to the sound effects of a small whale TV, may not be accustomed to. The tiny whale TV's built-in speakers are not as intensively pursuing the bass effect as other low-end speakers and cause the sound to be ambiguous and distorted. Plus, the rated power is only 20 watts. Compared with Soundbar, it is weaker in terms of sound momentum. However, the quality of micro whale television sounds is relatively high. Its treble is clear and melodious, its midrange is not thin, and its low volume is small but slightly textured. In a small environment, relying on this built-in speaker can also initially create a cinema-like effect. I found that the built-in speaker of the Little Whale TV had a little taste when listening to string music and female voice. The kind of clear and melodious voice that Li Jian put was also good. For example, in the following video, the sound of a violin sounds good. When we have to explain it again, because the recording equipment is simple, we can only record 1080P. Combining the upload compression, the presented effect has been greatly reduced compared to the actual effect.

When I was on the bedroom TV last year, I was still struggling. The size of the bedroom TV was appropriate. After trialing the micro-whale TV, I am no longer entangled. 55-inch is suitable for use in the bedroom. It is suitable, very suitable and very suitable. Three important things to say.

In fact, as long as the picture quality is good enough, the bigger the screen size, the better. The bigger the screen, the easier it is to create realistic sensation and the better the viewing effect. Here is a simple formula for everyone to refer to when choosing the TV size.

Optimum viewing distance (mm) = screen height (mm) ÷ vertical resolution × 3400

The whale TV screen height is about 685 mm. If you watch 4K quality video, the best viewing distance is 1.078 meters. When you watch 1080P Full HD video, the best viewing distance is 2.156 meters. This is suitable for bedroom use.

And the use of the built-in speakers for the whale TV in the bedroom is also very suitable, very suitable and very suitable. In a small environment such as a bedroom, a small whale television is more likely to exert its performance and provide excellent audio and video effects. So I put a small whale TV in my room, which means that I have a small theater in my bedroom.

The tiny whale TV's built-in speakers are suitable for use in small spaces such as bedrooms. And the screen is big enough, the real sense of presence will be very strong, there is a kind of small theater-like feeling.

For example, this video I recorded.

You can also enjoy the racing-like feeling.

Seeing a concert is also good.

The following video is the effect of recording a 4K video on a micro-whale TV. There are sports scenes, music programs, and other types of scenes. When we have to explain it again, because the recording equipment is simple, we can only record 1080P. Combining the upload compression, the presented effect is greatly reduced compared to the actual effect.

At the same time, watching online video with micro-whale TV, as long as the online video is "ultra-clear" or "blue-ray" level, then do not worry because the distance is too close, the picture does not look good. For example, the following video.

Third, the road to the simple, easy to use innovation

The design of the micro-whale TV believes that its siege lions have made serious thoughts on ease of use.

First of all, it is reflected in its UI interface. It is not like many other smart TVs. It simply connects the Android system on the mobile phone directly to the TV. Instead, a new design was made for the use of smart TVs.

For example, it uses a waterfall-style cut-screen approach that goes straight up and down. From the perspective of people's visual habits, most people prefer to cut the screen in the short-edge direction, so that it feels more comfortable visually, and easier to find the object you want to choose, so the ultimate choice for smart phones is the horizontal cut-based. Many smart TVs do not have the habit of hard thinking about transplanting mobile phones. However, if a TV is cut horizontally, it will be cut along the long side. This is not as comfortable as cutting across the short side. The Little Whale TV took notice of this and adopted a waterfall-style cut-screen method that went straight up and down. From my personal experience, I feel that this kind of screen cut is actually more comfortable.

Second, the Micro Whale TV supports voice assistants. Through the mobile phone remote control, direct-voice on-demand movies and TV programs can be played. This eliminates the tedious typing of one letter and one letter. You can also view the weather by voice and open the application app via voice. This greatly facilitates the use and allows older people to use smart TVs.

Third, the micro-whale TV has a very fast boot speed. When using it, the system is smooth and fast! ! During my trial period, I did not encounter a crash. This makes me feel very comfortable. I've had enough of the original smart TV to start the turtle speed, and often do not know the cause of the crash restart, then I waited so much. The whale TV starts up in the standby mode, which can be said to be “seconds on”, and the cold start after turning off the power is also less than half a minute. I no longer need to wait.

Fourth, the micro-whale TV offers a variety of ways to install the APP: 1. Installation via a USB flash drive; 2. Remote installation via a local area network computer to a micro-whale TV; 3. Installation of a “sofa manager” or “Dangbei market” by themselves, through These third-party application markets are installed; 3. The installation of smart whale TVs through smart phones; 4. The online installation of micro whale TV's own application market. Almost all Android TVs have the ability to install APPs, and micro-whale TVs support it. This greatly facilitates our users. In addition, the micro-whale TV has only a small number of necessary APPs. It does not pre-install N-apps like other smart TVs. The native system is very simple and clean.

Fifth, there are some unique innovative features of the Micro Whale TV. For example, when broadcasting songs, you can turn off the TV screen and use the TV directly as a stereo. This is probably an unprecedented design. After installing the APP of the CNR audio client, the TV can also be turned into a radio, listening online to all CNR radio stations as well as radio programs in cities across the country. When listening to a CNR station online, you can also turn off the screen. As a result, the television can be turned into a high-quality radio.

Fourth, the content is king, waiting for time

In the era of Internet smart TV, television has a good software and hardware configuration. The richness of content that it can provide will be an important factor for people to consider. Because the system of copyright protection in China is improving and the means of protection are increasing, paying for quality content will be the trend of future development.

Li Shuben, the lead brother of the Little Whale TV, is a big brother in the media industry. This made me have very high expectations for the contents of the audio and video program that can be provided by the Little Whale TV. Although I can get a lot of audio and video resources through APPs such as TV Cat, VST, etc., the quality of content obtained through these channels is not guaranteed, and sometimes it is not stable.

The first emphasis on micro whale television’s own promotion is also the richness of the content it provides. However, the whale lions of the Little Whale TV had previously informed that the official content of the Little Whale TV will be on-line in November. It is still in the trial period and the content is still not perfect. I took a rough look. Microwhale TV currently contains more than 1,000 TV shows and more than 300 movies.

As far as TV whale television content is not yet fully sounded, TV dramas are already quite abundant. The latest TV dramas are basically all included in the broadcast. Many American, European, Japanese, and Korean television dramas are also included. However, the construction of the movie library is still lagging behind.
As far as the current column settings are concerned, there is still a lack of "sports" and "live" special items. There is a special "news information" item that can update the latest news information in a timely manner. This is not bad.

Each David sees the program not yet complete. For example, there are no mango tables that many people like.

However, Micro Whale TV has already included BBC and National Geographic documentary. Although not all, but there is this special item, I like it! ! In fact, CCTV also has many excellent documentaries, such as "China on the tip of the tongue", "The Third Pole", "The power of the company", etc. CCTV still has many documentary films on martial arts series, as well as "traveling to China". I like all of them. I do not know whether the micro whale will be included later. Japan’s NHK also has a number of fine documentaries. It is not known whether the micro whale will be included in the future.

The CNR is still standing behind the micro-whale TV. After installing the Central People's Broadcasting Station's audio client app, the micro-whale TV can change the radio in seconds. This is one of the features provided by the Micro Whale TV.

After installing the Central People's Broadcasting Station's audio client, it can listen to the programs of all CNR's radio stations online, and can also listen to programs of radio stations across the provinces across the country. The collection of domestic radio stations is quite complete, and it is almost entirely included in domestic radio stations. You can also broadcast radio broadcasts on the radio . The sound quality is also very good, no noise. Blessed are those who love listening to the radio!

When using the client to listen to a radio program online, the micro-whale TV can also turn off the screen so that the television becomes a high-quality radio in seconds.

During the trial period, although the content of the micro-whale TV is far from complete, it is believed that the media tycoon's Li Shu and the giants behind him such as Tencent, Ali, CNR, etc., video and audio content provision should be the strength of the micro-whale TV. Also, Little Whale TV said that it would "open up the era of 'private-custom' content services." I do not know there will be new changes in content delivery services.

In addition, micro whale television is still relatively backward in the construction of its own application market. At present, only dozens of APPs are provided. I do not know that micro-whale TV in the future, especially the application of the APP, will provide more rich content? ?

In short, but wait now! !

V. Uncle and Lolita

After reading the introduction of the micro-whale TV, "Uncle and Little Lolita" - I unconsciously produced this association. The team led by Big Whale TV is composed of two older uncles and two young uncles. The uncle took the lead, but he took the name of the "micro-whale" as "Kawaii." This is probably the possession of Lori, or each uncle has a loli heart.

Oh! wrong! The map should be like this. I can't draw a picture. I can only search online. I can only figure out the mood in my brain! !

"Micro whale" reminds me of "freshness" and "cuteness". These are the characteristics of loli. The core of this trait is "young." The design of the micro whale TV UI reflects the freshness of the young people, the attractive interface, and the ease of use. There are also some innovations in the TV function.

Turn on to see a cute little whale.

At the same time, the micro-whale TV is even more uncle and reliable.

Reflected in the micro-whale TV, it is reflected in its solid workmanship materials. The frame of the micro-whale TV uses a metal material of aviation aluminum. In order to be more textured with LOG, a high-speed grinding of 20,000+ is adopted. Under the reflection of light, Phnom Penh and LOG will shine brightly, making it particularly bright.

Overall appearance, or uncle calm and full of temperament, more generous. The main body is gold-edged gold trim, which is dignified and gorgeous.

The screen of the micro whale TV uses the high quality LGD original IPS 4K screen.

(Because the evaluation of online micro whale television dismantling has been enough, the more important thing is that the micro whale siege lion reminded me that dismantling would not guarantee the quality. There was no dismantling. All disassembled pictures in this report were from the Internet. Here to the picture The author is grateful!!)

Circuit board work materials are also very solid.

The alignment is also simple and neat, and there is no phenomenon of flying.

The interface of the micro-whale TV is gold-plated, which can also be seen by the uncles.

I think the brand image of “micro whale” is very good and gives people ample room for imagination. This can be used in product design, it can also be used to expand product lines. For example, I went to the Little Whale Tmall Store to find out if the Little Whale TV launched a small whale little doll like the one below.

Part 2 Appearance Details and Specifications

One, out of the box

This is the biggest and most valuable item I have obtained here at Aunt Zhang. Therefore, after knowing the winning news, they were particularly excited and then looked forward with great anxiety and hoped to receive the micro whale TV soon. After waiting a few days, he did not see the news of Aunt Zhang's shipment. He also heard that the Beijing military parade had to be limited in express delivery, and that the day lily would be cold. So, I emailed Zhang Aunt. Aunt Zhang gave me peace of mind, and then informed the factory shipments. Then, the next day when Aunt Zhang did not notify her in advance, the local STO informed me that there was a TV to be sent. Hey that happy! !

Micro whale television manufacturers use the full wooden box express packaging. This is certainly more reassuring than ordinary wooden racks.

With the help of the courier, open the wooden box and remove the TV from the wooden box.

Before unpacking, read the opening instructions carefully.

Open the lid first and remove the upper layer.

The carton packaging design of the micro-whale TV is also very particular. Very scientific! ! Everyone noticed two white dongs in the bottom of the small whale TV tray! ! The two stuffs can be used as handles for handling, and they are also the bayonet of the outer box. After removing the four bayonet, the outer box can be removed, and then the TV can be easily removed.

It is said that the whales TV box can be made into a whale-like rocking chair. The inner wall of the box already provides a cut line.

Since the carton may still be used in the warranty period, I am not willing to dismantle the carton. After waiting for the warranty period, you must also be a small whale rocking chair like others do.

(This picture is from the internet, thanks to the author here.)

Then, you can see the long-awaited reality of the micro-whale TV.

Microwhale TV packaging is very simple. In addition to the TV body outside, there is a small box and two base parts. The extra is a brief description of the siege of the Little Whale TV written for us.

The all-metal construction of the base frame of the micro-whale TV is strong and beautiful.

The contents of the box are very simple: the remote control, plug, base with screws, micro-whale TV instruction manual, with two remote control batteries for the seventh. Micro whale TV is very easy to use. People who have used Android phones or Android smart TVs will probably be able to get started soon. Therefore, the instructions provided by the Little Whale TV are very simple and there is only one piece of paper.

Second, the appearance of details

As already mentioned, the overall appearance of the micro-whale TV is generous and the grandeur is gorgeous. I think the appearance of the micro-whale TV completely kills a certain band of yellow rice.

LOG has been fully polished, very texture, light reflection, especially dazzling.

Little whale TV is also very thin, the thinnest point is smaller than 5 hairs.

From the side, the slender lines are slender.

Look at the back of the TV. There is a whale LOG in the center.

Micro whale TV wall is 20CM specifications.

Product nameplate on the left side of the back.

There is a universal entity function key in the lower right corner of the TV. I personally think that the role of this key is to do it! !

A screw hole on the back, sealed with a small whale sticker, to disassemble this sticker, then there is no warranty! ! Ok! ! I do not want to secretly disassemble! ! Forget it! !

A small whale television is equipped with a series of interfaces on the back: an SPDIF optical audio interface, a wired network port, a set of AV input interfaces, two HDMI2.0 interfaces (where HDMI2 supports ARC function), UART is a siege lion maintenance debugging interface, There is an antenna input interface that supports DTMB.

Micro-whale TV will put the commonly used USB interface on the side, two of which are USB3.0, one is USB2.0; side there is an HDMI2.0 interface, an SD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio output. Micro whale TV interface design is simple and practical. Completely cancel the interface of the color difference component that has fallen behind, the VGA interface, which does not support 4K ultra-high-definition transmission interface, retains the most widely used AV input interface, and uses the new HDMI2.0 version interface, which is fully in line with the era. development of. Three HDMI interfaces, three USB interfaces, can basically meet the needs of use. A 3.5mm audio output port is specifically set. You can directly connect to my bookshelf and increase bass when watching movies.

Small whale TVs should use the bottom-side backlight. So the bottom of the micro-whale TV has a lot of cooling holes.

The sound hole of that trumpet tweeter unit is also at the bottom.

There is also an indicator light at the bottom, which emits a beautiful blue light when you switch the machine on and off.

The trough of the individual's TV design for the micro-whale is the power switch at the bottom. This probably embodies the charm of the antiques of the little whales. In fact, this switch is not practical. Microwhale TV did not design "standby light". I am more confused, touch this switch can not normally judge the power switch state. So, sometimes, the TV is in standby, or has turned off the power switch, I silly to get confused! !

Third, the specification parameters

First of all, look at the size of the micro-whale TV.

Compared with the 40-inch TCL TV in the home, it was a big lap.

See the specifications table for details.

Part III Testing and Evaluation

First, the standard of 4K TV

In the second half of 2013, the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) issued the ITU-R BT.2020 standard for a new generation of ultra-high definition UHD (Ultra-high Definition) video production and display systems, which will replace ITU- R BT.709 This HDTV standard. Those who are interested can download the full texts of the standard language (Chinese version, click me!!) on the official website of ITU. Its main content and comparison with previous standards are summarized as follows: At present, 4K TVs on the market basically meet the requirements of the ITU-R BT.2020 standard in terms of resolution, aspect ratio, scanning, and refresh rate. However, many 4K TVs can only meet the old standard of “bit depth” and only support 8 bits. Only a few TVs support 10 bits depth. The standard support "10bits" is a requirement for 4K TVs, and micro-whale TVs support a bit depth of 10 bits . The standard "12bits" is for 8K (7680 x 4320) TVs.

The color gamut standard of ITU-R BT.2020 is very high and it is basically equivalent to the digital cinema color gamut standard DCI-P3+. At present, 4K televisions on the market are almost impossible to meet the color space standard of ITU-R BT.2020. And our common sRGB standard, its range is roughly equivalent to the ITU-R BT.709 standard.

Our country has also introduced standards for 4K TV: "4K Ultra High Definition TV Selection Standard (2013)" and "Ultra High Definition Display Certification Specification" (CNCA/CTS 0019-2013). Comparison of these two standards, the reference value is not.

About the color gamut standard (color space) (This part is for white, old bird please bypass!)

I'll expand a bit here to provide some references for future selection of monitors. Speaking of the color gamut standard, in layman's terms, the display device can display the restored color range. The wider the color gamut of the display (or the larger the color space), the more display devices can display the restored color. The most common of us are the sRGB standard and the Adobe RGB standard.

The sRGB standard is the most widely used color standard. Microsoft and HP, Mitsubishi, Epson and other manufacturers jointly developed sRGB (standard Red GreenBlue) universal color standard, the vast majority of digital image acquisition equipment manufacturers support sRGB standards, such as digital cameras, digital cameras, scanners, monitors and other support sRGB standard , and almost all imaging equipment such as printing, projection, etc. also support the sRGB standard. At the same time, sRGB is also called the "Internet standard color space." For Windows, sRGB is the default color mode. And what the wide color gamut, 100% AdobeRGB 啥啥, is the monitor manufacturer's favorite when it comes to sales. The AdobeRGB standard does not actually apply to the gamut space description of television. However, since AdobeRGB has a wider color gamut than sRGB, it almost covers the CMYK color space in the field of printing and photo printing, and it is widely welcomed by photographers, photographers, and designers. Professional photography equipment, printing and printing equipment will support the AdobeRGB standard. Therefore, generally, some digital cameras have at least sRGB and AdobeRGB options for the "color space" option, and more advanced printing and printing equipment will also support the AdobeRGB standard.

By the way, the color gamut (color space) can be understood in a three-dimensional space. However, in order to express it more intuitively, the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) produced a plan view of the CIExy chromaticity coordinate diagram. This horseshoe-shaped figure below, we often see, this is the CIE1931 color coordinate diagram. "Horseshoe" is the gamut of the human eye's visible spectrum from 380 to 780 nm, which is the range of colors that the human eye can recognize. This horseshoe diagram is often used as a base map when comparing color gamuts. Because of the limited technical conditions, our photographic equipment and display devices currently cannot record and display all the colors that our human eyes can recognize. We can only record and display some of the colors that we can recognize in the human eye. For different needs, different organizations and different companies have introduced various color gamut (color space) standards, which are referenced for different fields and devices, such as common sRGB standards, Adobe RGB standards, and NTSC standards.

There are various color gamut standards introduced by various companies and various organizations.

For a long period of time, television mainly follows the NTSC standard in color gamut. In 1953, the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) based on the CIE1931 chromaticity diagram defined the x, y values ​​of the RGB primary colors according to the phosphor technology of the CRT at that time, and determined the NTSC color gamut standard. The standard uses a C light source (corresponding to white is CIII). Color temperature 6766K). In 1966, due to the poor efficiency of RGB phosphors used by RGB coordinates developed by NTSC, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) redefines the coordinate specifications of RGB and white dots in accordance with the needs of the time. The newly defined color coordinate triangle area just covers 72% of the original NTSC standard, so the subsequent color television system follows the NTSC 72% rule (also known as the EBU standard). When the LCD screen appears, in order to replace the traditional CRT market, the original NTSC 72% is also used in the color gamut specifications. In 1988, the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) developed the ITU-R BT.709 standard for high-definition television (HDTV). In the figure below, the EBU is NTSC 72%. It can be seen that the range is consistent with BT.709, while the sRGB standard is consistent with BT.709.

For most people who just go online, a monitor that can reach the 100% sRGB standard is already enough for you to use.

For photography enthusiasts, if you need to print photos or print publishing, then a monitor that meets the 100% AdobeRGB standard is your inevitable choice; and if you take a picture that just looks on a computer monitor, online stickers, then 100 The %sRGB standard monitor is fully enough for you to use.

The Internet smart TV, if it is a high-definition television, the standard that should be referred to is the sRGB standard and ITU-R BT.709; and the 4K ultra-high-definition television, the standard that should be referred to is ITU-R BT.2020, of course, as far as the color gamut is concerned. Only refer to the sRGB standard.

Second, small whale TV display test

Good TV, the pursuit of "unity of sound and picture." Image quality and sound effects are important factors in our selection of television. Sound effects can be improved by external sound, and we usually do this too. The picture quality is the core competitiveness of a TV. You can no longer improve it through external use. Otherwise, the TV itself will feel that there is no meaning.

Image quality is the first factor to measure the merits of a television. I will analyze the picture quality of the micro-whale TV from a static perspective, and use software and actual video playback to analyze and evaluate the dynamic display effect of the micro-whale TV.

In order to allow this professional report to have a certain degree of professionalism, we specially rented a color correction instrument from a certain treasure to carry out color correction and display analysis.

1, based on the color display instrument color display test

Aunt Zhang was here a long time ago (to see the point of the article I!!) Learn X-Rite X-Rite X-Rite i1 Display Pro is a good quasi-professional school color instrument. Therefore, first rent this one to test the TV. The software used is X-Rite official software i1Profiler ver1.6.3 and third-party software dispcalGUI ver3.0.4.2 (inline Argyll CMS ver1.8.2).

As a result of the actual testing, I feel that the test result of this Eastern rent seems to have some problems. Toss N many times, the gamut test value is always low. My book's gamut space is too bad, 50% sRGB is not. The small whale TV and the new TCL at the end of last year, a 4K TV color gamut space is only about 85% of the sRGB. This is true for many tests. This result, if it was put a few years ago, is still quite good. However, with the fierce competition and technological development, the new products introduced by display manufacturers can almost reach or close to 100% sRGB. So, I have some doubts about the accuracy of this test result. In addition to seeing that the rented Dongdong was shipped in 2012, it is even more skeptical about its accuracy.

Ugh! ! I have more than 100 pieces! !

With a responsible attitude towards Zhang Aunt , I invited the latest SPYDER 5 ELITE red spider coloring instrument from DATACOLOR, a deta company, from a certain treasure. This Dongdong was just born this year, and the renter said that he only bought it less than a month. Think about this accuracy should be guaranteed. Another one hundred more! !

Test equipment: The Spyder 5 Elite is connected to the Thinkpad T430 laptop; the software Spyder 5 Elite official software ver5.0 is used. Each time after the calibration, based on the calibrated ICC configuration, the display analysis of the small whale TV is performed using the “Display Analysis” module of the Spyder5 Elite official software.

Color gamut test

When testing the micro-whale TV, I used different brightness values ​​and other parameters to perform multiple calibrations at different times to generate different ICC profiles. On this basis, I used the “display analysis” of the software to perform multiple tests. The color gamut of the microwhale TV was tested 12 times, 6 times for 100% sRGB, 4 times for 99% sRGB, 1 for 98%, and 1 for 96%. The Spyder5 Elite's official software display analysis only provides quantitative comparisons of the device under test with the sRGB standard and the Adobe RGB standard, and does not provide numerical values ​​compared to the NTSC standard. However, it will be provided at the end of the calibration, which is approximately 72% of NTSC. It can be said that the color gamut of a small whale TV basically reaches 100% of sRGB, and 72% of NTSC's color gamut is covered .

And as a comparison of the home of another 4K TV TCL D40A571U three tests, the color gamut is 98% of sRGB. After the introduction of the 4K TV BT.2020 international standard, TV manufacturers are not willing to lag behind in the color gamut. Although based on cost considerations and actual needs, they will not be BT.2020, but they are basically 100%. sRGB.

Just my books, color is still more miserable! ! Only 58% of sRGB.

Color Accuracy Test (Delta E)

After setting the brightness value and other parameters according to the requirements of the color correction software, the color accuracy of the whale TV can reach very good levels. I performed multiple tests based on different preset brightness values, and the color accuracy test results of the Little Whale TV were all excellent. The color reproduction ability of the Little Whale TV is very strong.

After calibration, the overall mean (average color difference) of the microwhoke TV ΔE can reach 1.52, and the maximum value of ΔE is 4.8. Normal professional monitors also require AverageΔE<3. In other words, after the calibration, I use a monitor with a small whale TV to do basic printing for photos that do not need to be printed.

Here again â–³E (for white)

Generally reflected by ΔE is the size of the gap between the display and the standard value, reflecting the monitor's color reproduction accuracy. The smaller the value is, the more realistic the color reproduction will be, and the higher the score, the more distorted the color reproduction.

In general, the color effects in different ΔE ranges are not the same:

The ΔE value is between 1 and 3.2. The human eye is basically unable to distinguish color differences. Only a few professional-grade displays, such as professional-grade EIZO, professional-grade Dell, and professional-grade Hewlett-Packard, etc., can do this;

The ΔE value is between 3.2 and 6.5, and those who have undergone professional training can discriminate the difference. However, ordinary people cannot observe the difference, and usually an excellent consumer-grade liquid crystal display can enter this range.

The ΔE value is between 6.5-13, the difference in color is visible, but it can be considered as the same hue;

Delta E values ​​between 13-25 are considered different shades.

ΔE values ​​greater than 25 are considered different colors.

Spyder5Elite color correction software calibration, according to the ambient light conditions to provide the brightness of the preset values ​​and other parameters, mainly for the application of the picture processing display needs, so it is recommended that the brightness value is generally 80-120nits (cd/m ^ 2). The television is far away from viewing and is watching dynamic video. In actual use, the brightness value of the television is much higher than the brightness value recommended by the color correction software.我在微鲸电视预设的“标准模式”下，进行了测试。

此时，微鲸电视ΔE的总体平均值（平均色差）为6.03，ΔE最大值为8.73。这个结果也能接受。

我将微鲸电视的亮度设为50，背光值为100，然后进行校准后，对微鲸电视进行色彩精确度测试。

微鲸电视设置的这个亮度也是我们比较常用的，此时，微鲸电视ΔE的总体平均值（平均色差）为2.32，ΔE最大值为5.39。这个结果比微鲸电视的预设“标准模式”好不少。 看来微鲸电视的几个预设模式还需要调校。尤其是那个“艳丽模式”，明显偏蓝。

而作为对比参照的家里另一台4K电视TCL D40A571U，在色彩精确度表现上是明显不如微鲸电视的。三次测试的结果,AverageΔE分别是8.66、7.76、8.14。

屏幕均匀性测试

对电视而言，屏幕均匀性对观看时画质影响相对较小。人眼对屏幕均匀性的宽容度是比较高的。不借助专业仪器，单凭肉眼，你是很难判断屏幕均匀性情况的。当然，如果你肉眼已经能够判断一个屏幕不均匀，那么你就应该换掉你的这块屏幕了。

从Spyder5Elite的测试结果来看，微鲸电视屏幕的色彩亮度的均匀性没有它的色彩准确度表现那么抢眼。而亮度的均匀性表现一般。

当电视亮度过高时，色彩亮度均匀性是最差的。

微鲸电视亮度均匀性表现一般。

总体而言，屏幕亮度从100%到50%，屏幕均匀性随着亮度降低而提高的，微鲸电视在亮度最大时最大偏差区域偏差为19%。微鲸电视大概是底端侧入式的背光系统，屏幕从下部到上部，偏差逐渐加大。

从屏幕均匀性测试的结果来看，屏幕亮度过高其实并不是一件好事。平时看电视时，亮度调节过高，屏幕均匀性会降低，就不能获得最佳画质，另一方面，由于亮度过高更容易造成视疲劳损害眼睛，同时亮度过高也会缩短液晶电视背光模组的寿命。

亮度、对比度及不同亮度的白点色温测试

从测试结果来看，微鲸电视的亮度确实如其宣传所说的亮度较高，实测最高达到了369.6nits（cd/m^2)。对比度和白点色温在不同亮度下，表现也非常稳定。但是，微鲸电视与目前很多LED液晶电视一样，存在白点色温偏高的情况。白点色温在10700K左右，这是一个较高的色温。这在某种程度上，可能会对画质造成一些影响。必须说明的是，我在测试时，电视的色温一直设置在“标准”状态下。而实际测得的这个色温明显偏冷。虽然，我们东亚地区的人的视觉习惯于冷色温，常推荐以9300K为准，但微鲸电视预设的这个“标准”色温偏高了一点。

白点色温设置偏高，电视画面在某种场景下会偏蓝。比如，下面两个画面。

从墙面颜色可以看出，微鲸电视画面中墙面偏蓝色，而白点色温为6700K的笔记本电脑在这方面要好很多。

白点色温偏高，似乎是现在LED背光液晶电视的通病。家里的TCl液晶电视白点色温表现更加糟糕。

TCL电视的白点色温达到12000多。在同样的场景下，它的画面偏蓝的情况就更严重。

我在家电卖场观察，发现国内LED液晶电视厂家现在似乎都有将白点色温调高的倾向，来迎合国内用户对冷光屏的偏爱，这造成的结果就是在某些场景下（尤其是夜景、暗场）画面会偏蓝。TCL如此，小米如此，微鲸电视同样也如此。当然，我这个微鲸电视在这方面要比家里的TCL要好很多，不过依然有此问题。

微鲸电视的图像调节供提供了6个预设模式（标准模式、电影模式、艳丽模式、运动模式、游戏模式、显示器模式），并提供了自定义模式。除了电影模式和显示器模式，另外4个预设模式的白点色温都是偏高的。我设置的自定义模式中色温选择的是“标准”，而实测为10800也是偏高的。

通过亮度、对比度以及白点色温测试，显示微鲸电视在对比度和色温一致性方面表现非常好，但白点色温存在偏高的情况。当然，目前国内电视厂家似乎都偏爱如此设置，但个人觉得这种白点色温的设置值得商榷。

色调响应测试

按照校色仪推荐的亮度值进行校准之后，微鲸电视的色调响应表现还是比较好的，gamma值为2.2的行业标准值。

但是，将微鲸电视设置为其图像预设值的“标准模式”时，微鲸电视的色调响应表现就不那么令人满意了。gamma值变成了2.4，与标准值有偏差。色调响应曲线也不够平滑。

Spyder5Elite的官方软件中，对“灰阶”的解释是测试的屏幕从黑到白的过度中，各段的色温分布。在《Kal的HCFR终极灰阶及色彩校正手册》中，强调灰阶及色彩校正的重要性，但这个手册咱还没读完，有些专业知识还比较欠缺，水平有限，不能对Spyder5Elite的显示分析中的“灰阶”曲线做出解读。贴出来供懂得人解读。

基于校色仪测试的总体评价

Spyder5Elite的显示分析一共有六大项，完成各项测试后，软件报告还会提供一个整体评价。

我对微鲸电视一共进行了5次六大项全部进行的完整测试。Spyder5Elite的综合测试结果结论如下：

1.电视亮度值50、背光22，其余参数默认值的总体测试结果

2.电视亮度值50、背光30，其余参数默认值的总体测试结果

3.电视亮度值50、背光100，其余参数默认值的总体测试结果

4.电视亮度值59、背光100、其余参数默认值。

5.校色时，在校色软件中设置亮度值为200cd/m^2，其余推荐值，进行的测试的总体测试结果

基于Spyder5Elite的测试，微鲸电视在色域、对比度、色彩均匀度以及色彩精确度上表现优异。微鲸电视的色彩还原能力非常强，完全体现了IPS屏幕的特质，画面色彩丰富、准确，在同价位电视机中当属于佼佼者。这点在使用微鲸电视观看影音节目时得到体现。但微鲸电视在色彩调校上，仍有一定的提升空间，主要就是白点色温。上面的Spyder5Elite测试结果中，白点一项打分都是“0”。虽然 微鲸电视的白点色温偏高的设置对画面 实际 影响要比其他品牌电视要好很多，但仍然值得商榷 。而微鲸电视的六个图像预设模式：标准、电影、艳丽、运动、游戏、显示器的色彩调校还不那么完美，有进一步提升的空间。

必须说明的是，俺的测试仅针对张大妈这里得到的这么一台电视一个样本。
