Speaking of smart TVs, it seems that the deepest impression was led by Internet companies like LeTV and Xiaomi, not traditional TV manufacturers. It has to be said that with the rise of Internet smart TVs, the TV industry has set off a revolution in which traditional manufacturers and Internet companies compete in hardware, systems, content, and interactions. This is a good thing for consumers. We are happy to see this kind of benign competition and upgrading.
It was a pleasant surprise to be able to get the chance of this little whale TV from Zhang Aunt. Microwhale WTV55K1 is the beginning of the micro-whale technology. For such a new brand to dare to reluctantly join the fiercely competitive smart TV market, I am also very curious. What is special about this micro-whale?
brand introduction Micro Whale Technology Co., Ltd. is an Internet technology company specializing in home entertainment. Co-founded by Mr. Li Ruigang and Mr. Li Huaiyu in 2015, it aims to provide the best smart products and services for young families of the “microwhale generationâ€.
The "micro-whale generation" is an aborigine of the Internet. It is realistic, independent, and calm. It has both an idealistic romance and a publicity that does not follow the public. They have gradually become the backbone of the entire society.
"Micro whale" is a small individual, but it is huge because of the Internet. "Micro-whale" is creating smart products and spiritual forces to change lives for the "micro-whale generation".
Li Ruigang, head of the micro-whale, is currently the chairman of the Chinese Culture Industry Investment Fund (CMC). Chinese culture, CNR, Alibaba, and Tencent participated in the founding sponsors of micro whale. The CMC has come a long way. Talk about it later.
Unpacking and details close-up The TV was sent through STO and the packed wooden box was quite solid. The overall weight was over 50 pounds. Officials are transported through express services such as daily transit, Zhongtong, and Shentong. It takes a lot of effort to go home with the goods below.
A The front package only has the brand LOGO of the micro whale. There are two buttons on the bottom to lock the internal box.
At the top of box A, there is a small whale 55' smart TV. Boxes are placed throughout the box for regular shipping instructions. The information shows that the micro-whale TV was built by TPV.
A China energy efficiency label, power consumption is 3. 4K panel, side-in LED backlight power consumption is still quite high.
There are a total of 4 buttons. After all the buttons are taken out, the outer package can be pulled up. The main body of television appeared.
A pair of brackets and a small box are placed on the side of the bottom foam. The remote control and power cord are hidden inside. The sticker on the outside of the remote control box is not affixed. It is not known whether it can be sealed or intentionally produced.
The bracket is close-up, the bracket material is metal, and four screws can be fixed on the bottom of the small whale TV.
The remote control, manual, power cord, and the 7th battery used by a pair of remote controllers are delivered.
The right side of the bottom is the physical power switch, the right hole is used to install the right bracket, and the screws are installed on the back of the TV. The power button must be underneath the Tucao slot. Since the logo is not visible, it is often not known whether the TV is in the off state or in the standby state.
A bottom left there is a light, a bracket mounting hole. The color of the indicator light can be modified in the system, there are five colors.
The bottom is a metal twill micro whale brand LOGO. Local gold with the bottom of the 20000 + high-speed diamond polished aluminum alloy frame, complement each other.
On both sides of the diamond, my local station is gold. There are actually four colors to choose from. The border of the aluminum alloy drawing process is sufficiently textured, but the butt joints on both sides are still slightly rough. Obvious gaps can be seen. The official data show that this gap is within 0.3 mm. Although it's not big, I still hope that this gap can be smaller. It's not enough. It can be sealed with special materials.
The back of the power interface design is relatively easy to solve, with a flat L-shaped power plug, and not like other power cords with I-type plugs like protruding too much.
Behind the left side of the physical five-dimensional operation button. Can be used temporarily when the remote Controller is lost. Press and hold the up key to return to the previous level. Press and hold the OK key to call up the menu key. You can adjust the volume, switch the resource interface, shut down, restart, and re-pair the remote control. Although the usage rate is not high, it is better than nothing.
The interface of the micro-whale TV is very comprehensive, and the data interface is gold-plated, which ensures the stability of data transmission.
AV interface × 1
TV interface × 1
HDMI 2.0 interface × 3. One of the HDMI interfaces supports ARC and one HDMI interface supports MHL.
USB 2.0 × 1
USB 3.0 × 2
Optical fiber output SPDIF × 1
Ethernet interface × 1
SD card slot × 1
3.5mm audio output port 1
Debugging interface × 1
A Little Whale TV supports wall-mounting, but for a 40-pound TV, I don't support wall-mounting or bracket security.
Since the micro-whale adopts a side-entry type LED backlight module, the main heat is concentrated at the bottom, so the bottom is also provided with a heat-dissipation hole. Another heat sink is located on the back side. There are two speakers on both sides of the base. With two Hi-Fi speakers in such a small position, I still have doubts about the sound quality.
The thickness of the thin whale TV is 18mm at the thinnest level. It is certainly not comparable to the black technology of Dafa.
Please ignore the messy scene reflected in the panel, the entire front screen with 6.8mm width of the border is still quite shocking, in fact, there is a little more sense of the border, my 100-inch screen frame is 32mm wide.
Several remote controls on hand, fly to see the second generation, millet enhanced version, Acer projector, micro whale TV. Only the microwhale is Bluetooth. In terms of feel, I like this one of the microwhales most. The softness of feedback is not stiff. The three remote controls on the left are almost identical, except for one more voice key for the whale. Compared to traditional multi-key remotes, the three on the left are significantly simpler.
End of the box. For the appearance of the little whale, I don't have much demand. It is light, thin, and simple. Although some details need to be strengthened, such as the slightly larger gap at the corner butt joints. Interface is rich, the interface is gold-plated material, stacking material is not ambiguous. The 20000+ high-speed diamond-polished aluminum alloy frame adds a touch of beauty to the overall black low-key, enhancing the texture of the entire machine, making it the finishing touch. 6.8mm ultra-narrow frame with 55' large screen brings a visual impact, the boot screen can be felt light.
From the parameter point of view, the CPU uses the MStar 6A828, a 64-bit quad-core processor Cortex A53 with an ARM V8 architecture, clocked at 1.4 GHz, and the GPU uses an ARM Mali-450 MP4 (4+2 core). The 6A828 supports up to 4K level 60hz 10bit Ultra HD decoding. Hard-coded full 4K hard-coded solutions such as H.264, VP9, ​​and H.265. For this powerful video decoding capability I am also looking forward to doing a special video playback test.
The above is the test result of the software video playback capability. Basically, it cannot be played. However, because the micro whale does not get the authorization of the DTS audio, some of the videos containing the above format audio cannot be played normally. Partially containing aac, avc, vp8, and mpeg-4 may be due to a high bit rate and a stalling phenomenon during playback testing. However, for the above results, the general Blu-ray movies we encounter on a daily basis can be hard-decoded and played by the micro whale's own player. For movies containing DTS audio, MX Player can be installed for soft solution playback. The actual test software is also satisfactory.
Although it is possible to soft-decode DTS audio by installing third-party software, or hope that the micro-whales will get DTS authorization as soon as possible, and officially support decoding, this kind of user experience is the best.
The microwhale TV uses 2G DDR3 dual-channel memory, 8G eMMC 5.0 flash memory, and runs a 64-bit system based on YUN OS. The microwhale named the system WUI. For performance I did a run test. The test results are as follows:
This run is only comparable to Xiaomi 2 in the mobile phone, and it is considered a mid-range run in the TV. But fortunately, the television system's requirements for speed control are not particularly high. Even if it was only in the mobile phone two years ago, the system of the micro whale is still very smooth, and it is smoother than the millet enhanced version and the second generation of flying.
The screen of the micro whale TV uses the original imported LG RGB true 4K IPS panel with a resolution of 38402160 and 1.07 billion color LCD panels. As a TV face, the screen effect is also the most valued when you buy. After getting the micro whale, I made a dynamic picture of a still picture and 4K video. Since there is a 720P projector in the hand, a 100-inch bead curtain is used in the living room. Although there is no advantage in resolution, the victory is not leaking. (Why, why are you black?) . So with the enhanced version of the millet box for some pictures and video tests.
The screen part uses a lot of technology with English abbreviations.
The living room is photographed in everyday light, brightness and color are very good, but due to the mirror reflection, it will affect the perception. Advise to use recommendations or be careful not to face the windows like me.
The above is the real shot effect after pulling up the right curtain.
Close-range macro shooting, 38402160 resolution is really high precision. After zooming in, you can see the fine pitch of the text.
This is a real shot of a projector with a solid color picture of the enhanced version of the millet box.
A This is a real shot of a small whale TV picture. From the picture point of view, the whale's black light leaks. However, in the actual perception, the leakage of light is not so serious. Light leakage is mainly concentrated in the upper left, upper right, and a slight light leakage in the lower left and lower right. When it comes to the impact of light leakage in everyday use, there will be a 4K video video presentation. Daily viewing, the impact of light leakage is not too great.
A The above is a real shot of the micro whale's TV resolution, viewing angle and color test pictures. The 38402160 resolution of the microwhale is not covered.
A projector due to the physical resolution of only 720P, the resolution of this resolution is naturally defeated. However, victory is no light leakage.
A The above is a real shot of a 4K still picture of a small whale TV.
A Above is a real shot of the projector + millet box 4K picture. From the above real shot effect can be seen that the micro whale is still obvious advantages.
Another group, the above is a small whale TV, the following is a projector + millet box.
This group of gaps does not seem to be as big as the previous group. The whale's contrast ratio is 10,000:1. Even darker parts can show more detail. The Acer H5380BD contrast ratio of 13,000:1, in the performance of the above group of pictures, to make up for the disadvantages of the resolution. Of course, there is another reason that the viewing distance, the shooting distance of the micro whale is 1m, and Acer's shooting distance is 3m. So just looking at the pictures, the gap is not very large. Acer's pictures are within acceptable limits.
Above is the screen shot of the projector + millet box when playing 4K video.
The above is a screen shot of a small whale TV playing 4K video. Whether it is color expressiveness or brightness or clarity, it is better to be a little whale. Isn't this a bully, and 4K panels are certainly better than 720P projectors. The projector also has its strengths and will be mentioned later.
The whale TV's own sound is known as the Hi-Fi class, and the innovative double-sided balanced bass boost technology and the treble diffusion technology of the Yuanbao basin make the audio sounding incomparable to the mission and better than many larger TV sets. Sound effects. Microwhale TV also supports Dolby Atmos Dolby Panorama sound, watching a good movie. The following videos can be heard below. The best effect is when playing vocals. Take a look at the general TV series and variety shows, with sound effects enough, if there is a higher pursuit, or better independent box.
Please select Super clear when watching the video below. It should be noted that when playing the following video, the actual look and feel are all smooth, and the recorded video can be seen to flicker, which may be subject to camera recording effects. Please note that video recording does not represent actual experience.
The following is an actual recording of Skyworth 4K Demonstration film played by the Little Whale TV.
Thanks Skyworth for providing 4K demonstration source.
The following is a 4K clip of "The Peking Opera" broadcast by the Little Whale TV.
The following is a small whale TV broadcast GO PRO 4K clip
For a friend who is concerned about fast motion trails, take a look at the following video:
The following is a micro whale TV broadcast "Mad Max: Rage Road" 4K footage
The following is a projector + millet box to play "Galaxy Guard" 4K trailer
The following is a projector + millet box playing Australian 4K video
The following is a projector + millet box playing GO PRO 4K clips
The following is the whale TV broadcast GFRIEND - "Me Gustas Tu" 1080p
The actual viewing effect is very good. Btw, I like the type of sister is healthy and beautiful, youthful and beautiful, smart and virtuous, welcome to meet the above requirements of young women of the right age, contact me in a timely manner. I have been looking for you!
In the actual playback of the video, the player that comes with the millet box will download the subtitles on its own. This is a very useful function, but the downloaded subtitles are not correct, and they do not know where they came out. Micro whale's own player supports the selection of external subtitles. The big picture shows that the projector has played its biggest role. If you like watching movies, the projector is your best choice. If you just look at the American drama, look at variety shows. Micro whale is enough for your use. Of course, the bigger the screen, the better. I don't know how big the second whale's TV is.
System experience and comparison
The Whale TV uses a WUI based on 64-bit YUN OS. The entire interface consists of the left sidebar and the right tile display icon. The left sidebar can quickly switch categories and the right tile icon shows content. It is much like the vertical PSP XMB interface.
This display is clearly a more efficient method on a rectangular screen.
The left sidebar is the source, my TV, wonderful recommendations, categories, applications, settings. My TV can customize common modules. For example, more commonly used third-party software, comes with local playback, comes with the shrimp music client.
From the classification, it can be seen that there is no classification of sports in the resources of the micro-whale TV. For the micro-whale, which is the main resource, it is not scientific. I don't know if it's a big move.
The light system of the Micro Whale TV is preset with 6 colors to choose from.
Micro-whale TV image adjustment preset multiple groups of modes, but the demo video can not be intuitively seen when switching. Another small whale TV supports simple color temperature adjustment, there are cool, standard, warm three options.
A Little Whale TV is very friendly to the installation of third-party applications, in addition to supporting U disk installation, remote LAN installation, application store installation. Also supports mobile assistant push installation.
WUI is based on YUN OS, so of course supporting Taobao account binding, the experience of shopping on a big screen TV should not have a taste. What kind of experience is it like to see Aunt Zhang on TV?
Aunt Zhang's Android client can be normally installed on a small whale TV, but the remote control and mobile assistant can not operate. Through the wireless touch pad, you can click to enter a specific page, but you cannot drag a secondary page. Look forward to Auntie Zhang's TV version.
Within a few weeks of receiving the Micro Whale TV, two system upgrade pushes have been received. The speed of this upgrade is still good. Although there is no obvious difference before and after the upgrade. It is expected that there will be a channel for BUG feedback at the TV system end, so that it will be more efficient to meet BUG direct feedback. The micro whale can consider adding this function.
After installing the Micro Whale Mobile Assistant, you can use it to remotely control the TV. Can be a convenient screenshot, screenshots stored in the phone's album. You can adjust the volume. However, in actual use, I do not know why, there is a significant delay in the handling of the mobile assistant, which has a more serious impact on the actual experience.
Micro-Whale Mobile Assistant supports pushing and installing the installation package on the mobile phone to the TV. It is very convenient. I like to install software to the micro-whale in this way.
The pictures, music, and video on the mobile phone can be projected on the small whale TV through the screencast function of the mobile phone assistant. In actual use, it is found that the video occasionally appears fast forward and cannot be played normally, but it starts from scratch.
Relatively speaking, Xiaomi's setting interface is much simpler. The interface of the millet box is horizontal and quite smooth. There is no whale so smooth in actual speed.
The following is a video shot of the operation of the millet box:
The following is a video shot of the system operation of the Little Whale TV:
The following is a real shot video of a small whale TV voice control operation:
The speed of voice recognition is quite awesome. The current effect can be to identify and implement most of the first-level menu functions, such as voice input: playing "Love Apartment", the system will automatically search, but need to manually click to play. You can also open third-party applications such as voice input through voice control: Turning on VST will start VST, but it does not support voice shutdown. Can also be directly input by voice: play CCTV5, the system will automatically call the installed third-party live application to open the playback interface to CCTV5. In the playback also supports fast forward and rewind voice, voice input: Fast forward 3 minutes, the progress bar will automatically advance 3 minutes. Support voice control pause and mute during playback. However, digital adjustment of the volume is not supported. The return and exit voices are recognized normally but no action is taken. Only a few operations under the secondary menu support voice control. Expect small whale TV to be able to control more operations by voice.

The Central People's Broadcasting Station (CNR), Tencent, and Alibaba all participated in the group of founding sponsors of micro-whales. The annual fee for micro-whales is RMB 199. In addition to all the resources provided by these resource sources can be viewed for free, you can also watch free movies of major Hollywood companies of Tencent video. The annual fee for Hollywood membership is 198 yuan. In other words, other resources only need 1 dollar!
It is this strong backing that has given strong support for the content of the micro-whale. The micro-whale promises to release 100% of the 2015 show, and 90% of the variety shows and hit series can be watched on the micro-whale TV. It seems that LeTV and Xiaomi actually encountered an adversary in content. Of course, due to the fact that the membership resources have not been formally launched, it is impossible to experience the richness of the resources. With the endorsements of these production companies and distributors, the resources are worth looking forward to.
The current resources are not rich enough and are still sufficient. Before the official opening of membership resources, it is recommended to install third-party APPs, such as VSTs and TV cats.
The app store comes with limited resources. It is recommended to install a third-party app store to supplement it.
Download several game applications and run smoothly.
Microwhale TV comes with a shrimp music client, bringing as many as 4.5 million songs to the audition.
advantage:
6.8mm ultra-narrow frame with 20,000+ high-speed diamond polished aluminum alloy frame, exquisite rich texture, simple and introverted. 64-bit YUN OS system with 64-bit MStar 6A828, 2G RAM + 8G ROM to ensure the smooth flow of the system and good experience, video playback capabilities. Third-party APP installation is friendly, and the number of video resources is worth looking forward to. LG imported original RGB 4K IPS screen, outstanding effect. Hi-Fi level built-in audio, satisfactory results. Interface is full, speech recognition is fast. On the hardware price of 3799 yuan, the price is quite awesome. The bluetooth remote controller does not need to be aligned with the television for normal use and convenience, and the remote control button feedback is moderately comfortable.
insufficient:
The remote controller occasionally double-clicks on some programs. It is not known whether it is the remote controller or the system.
The 2.4Ghz wireless mouse support is not friendly enough, after the mouse is connected, the left button confirms that it cannot be used;
Leaking light in the upper and lower corners is touching. Although light leakage cannot be avoided, it does not affect the perception, but it is still hoped that the micro whale can do better.
The bottom of the heat is huge, especially the side of the physical power button, the temperature in use exceeds 40 °C, according to the official statement, is a normal range;
Physical switch placed at the bottom is not convenient to view the status, in use will appear to forget the TV off state or standby state;
Does not support DTS audio decoding and can only be decoded softly by a third-party player APP;
The built-in player does not support the automatic selection of tracks, that is, knowing that they can't play DTS, and selecting the default first track to be troubled.
Who should stay in the living room in the end? Is the projector a small whale TV? If it is you, who are you willing to leave? Projector (3000 yuan) + millet box (299 yuan) + Edifier speakers (499 yuan) + curtain (110 yuan). Small whale television (3799 yuan +398 yuan).
