preface

In March this year, Jimi launched a new flagship intelligent projection, which is also the first product of the H-series family. The Z-series projection of Jimi has been popular for some time, The H series is different from the Z series, and has embarked on a more high-end route. The redesigned appearance is equipped with a 45mm double speaker unit, and the size of the sound chamber has increased by six times compared with the Z series. Jimishi needs to upgrade its audio-visual experience to a higher level. H1 is a new start for Jimi, and may also be an important step to declare war on smart TV.

Versatile and stable H1 design

For a good home projection, the appearance design naturally plays an important role. The design details such as material selection and key design can be scored. When it comes to why Jimi has sold so well in the past two years, high appearance is definitely one of the contributors. Jimi H1 adopts the square design of the metal shell, which seems to be an enhanced version of Jimi Z4 series machines.

I forgot when the packaging of Jimi Projection was changed to black gilt logo, which added a bit of composure and atmosphere.

The metal shell is neither black nor pure gray, but the color between dark gray and dark blue. The effect is relatively deep and stable, without the playfulness of gold or silver.

The Jimi H1 continues to ride the latest Harman Carton audio. Because of the increase in volume, the volume of the sound unit also increases, and the sound effect naturally improves a lot, changing the previous small speaker design of Jimi. Instead, it is 270 degree surround sound, and the sound unit speaker openings account for two-thirds of the area.

The metal surface treatment is exquisite, and the matte sandblasting texture is good. Loudspeaker holes are arranged in an orderly manner, without patterns, it seems that there are patterns.

On the front is Texas Instruments' DLP 1080P lens, which is still a familiar slide boot design. What's wrong with sticking to the plastic slide cover? Although the piano has been painted, it still does not match the metal body. The sliding cover feedback is smooth, and the damping design is very comfortable to slide. This switching mode has been inherited by Jimi.

The Jimi H1 cancels the overhead gesture operation and replaces it with the frosted design of the concave top, which is like a storage platform on which remote control and mobile phone can be placed. If a wireless charging function is added, it will be complete.

Without gesture operation, Jimi will certainly not be so hasty, and has an independent area for quick operation. Four independent keys and touch volume control. The sliding volume control is responsive. How to say, I always feel that this design is not innovative enough. Many people have designed the volume control bar as a circular speaker before. The design of the Kimi H1 is slightly ordinary, and the four buttons are even more prosaic. It is not as shocking as the isolated operation.

The back bears the responsibility of cooling the polar meter, with two cooling openings at the top and bottom. After starting the machine, the air began to blow. It was very gratifying that the fever of the Jimi H1 was quite low, and it was not even a little hot.

Eight interfaces are arranged symmetrically, including dual USB interface, one 2.0 interface, one 3.0 interface, dual HDMI2.0 interface, one SPDIF interface, one HDMI ARC interface, one headphone interface and network interface. The number and types of interfaces are basically the same as those of the previous products. The only difference is the SPDIF interface.

In terms of weight, the Jimi H1 is not as light as its volume, so it is easy to move.

Turning to the bottom, the most eye-catching one is the two resonant sound generating units, the 45mm double horn unit, which may be one of the biggest differences between the Jimi H1 and the Z series. The enhanced sound thickness and depth depend on them. Because of this design, the four legs are about 0.8cm high. Turn the Jimi H1 to the side to get more shocking sound quality.

The accessories do not have 3D glasses, so the high-end H1 does not have the Z4X 3D glasses, which makes people a little confused.

The remote control is a new all metal remote control designed this year, with a slim and compact charging design. Personally, I think the color of the remote control should match the color of the body.

900 ANSI lumens further enhance daytime viewing experience

The hardware configuration of the polar meter H1 reaches the highest level of this price level, with 1920 * 1080 resolution, 10000:1 contrast, 900 ANSI lumens brightness, and the brightness of the 3000 yuan gear is about half of the polar meter H1. Adopt Texas DLP technology, compatible with 4K decoding and 3D. When the author looks at the 80 inch screen at a distance of about 3 meters, the first impression is that the screen display is exquisite. The 1080P display is easier to distinguish with the naked eye than the 720P display, and the color belongs to the flamboyant type.

The popular 4K TV test chart is used to test H1. The first chart tests the color performance and visual angle. The overall color is thick and bright. The triangular contour of R/G/B/Y/C/M in different color distribution areas is relatively clear. The performance and experience show that there is no mixed order in the triangular area.

In the second picture, the test display resolution, the projection distance remains unchanged, the projection screen is about 80 inches, the viewing and shooting distance is 3.5 meters, and the shooting sample is as follows. It can be seen that the words on the top third to last line are still visible, and the words on the bottom second line are slightly blurred. With reference to the standards given below, the resolution of polar meter H1 is above full HD and below 4K HD.

The third and fourth pictures are the test colors. H1 shows yellow, sky blue and lavender with weaker color levels, and other colors have clear color levels.

The scenery with thick colors is very attractive. The appearance of 900ANSI lumens at night is even better than that of TV. Pay attention to the details of the screen display. The concave and convex feeling of the edge of reed leaves is clearly restored. The color saturation is very high, almost the same as the original image, and several gears higher than the color saturation of the LeEco X50.

In the dark room, the display brightness of Jimi H1 is significantly higher than that of LeTV after both are adjusted to the maximum brightness. After the indoor light is enhanced, the display effect is significantly attenuated. When the noon light is the strongest, the screen display will lose some details. Although the brightness of the polar meter H1 reaches 900ANSI lumens, the contrast with the TV is still weak in the daytime. Fortunately, most of the display content can be seen clearly.

Rich video resources and excellent viewing experience

Video and music are two aspects that can best reflect the video and audio performance of Jimi H1. Several local videos are used for viewing experience. First of all, H1 loads local videos very quickly, while the USB2.0 interface transmission is still very fast. Fast forward and backward of playing a G movie are only delayed by about one second.

The default software design for video playback of the Kimi system is very simple. This transparent progress bar can fast forward/rewind through the direction key on the remote control. OK key to pause/play.

Excellent display effect and rich color style add color to the film. The code rate and format of several films are different. MVK, AVI, RMVB and MPG formats are available from 702P to 2K. The playback speed of Jimi H1 is almost the same, and you can hardly feel the loading process.

Online video on demand has complete categories, and film and television resources include most of the films that have just been released. Well, many of them are about the trailer... Jimi gave a VIP card to watch some VIP charging videos for free.

The motion of the film is very stable. With a 45mm double speaker unit, the viewing experience is very good. The "very" here does not contain any praise, but is an absolutely real experience.

There is a music channel in the film and television, which has a large number of high-definition MVs and classic scenes, and excellent music MVs at home and abroad.

There are not many movies in the 3D resources. They are played on the left and right half screens. It's a pity that Jimi H1 didn't deliver 3D glasses. A pair of glasses costs more than 100 in the Jimi Mall.

You can directly start the wifi speaker mode by pressing the play key without opening the lens. It also says that the sound quality of the Kimi H1 is very good, so the sound quality is enough for a stand-alone speaker. Two unsatisfied points are mentioned here. First, the old songs are played by default when the phone is not turned on. I haven't found the way to change the playlist. The last song and the next one are played by uninterested songs. What's the meaning of wifi speakers?

Second, the music resources of the music module in the Jimi system are not rich enough. What we can see is that there are enough existing music, but not new enough. For example, search for Jay Chou. Sorry, there are almost no songs. Some songs are covered by some netizens. If they are not interested in songs, it is a pity that the Jimi H1 has such a powerful speaker system.

There are only these songs in the latest song. Are they really new enough? Is that enough?

Let's also praise the sound performance of the Jimi H1. The bass performance is particularly outstanding. The sound fullness of diving is unmatched by any other intelligent projection. The experience of listening to music has the illusion of using a small subwoofer. Only the sound of the film and television resources themselves is free from defects, and the Jimi H1 can add points to the play of the film. It is also an upstream level if not used as a speaker.

The system is built for large screen

As far as the system is concerned, the GMUI interface has not changed much for a long time. The four major projects of video, music, games and software are the four resource structures that GMUI has been building. After the actual experience, only the film and television resources are satisfactory, and the other three are immature.

The introduction of the notification center can quickly view messages and system status.

The independent application market has a complete range of applications, but the number of applications is too small. For example, there are only three applications for convenient life, and only two applications for news reading... The Android system gives the possibility of wireless expansion of Jimi Projection, which can be filled by downloading TV applications later.

There are enough kinds of games in the game market. The biggest slot is that many games cannot run until they are downloaded. Perfect compatibility and few games with high playability. Both the game and the application market have the feeling of chicken ribs. Since the applications are not enough and there are not many games to play, the value of the existence will be greatly reduced.

Jimi assistant, god like APP assistant

Jimi projection also has an important competitive weapon, the Jimi assistant app. It is said that this app can't do anything. All functions of the remote control are contracted. In addition, screen capture, fast input, same screen operation, memory cleaning, etc. are absolute bonus items.

The same screen operation is to play the projected image directly on the mobile phone, which is more suitable for detail capture. The image is operated on the mobile phone.

Before the screenshot function, there was a key on the remote control of the Jimi, which was not available on several products launched this year. The screenshot was transferred to the app for operation, and automatically saved to the phone album after the screenshot.

The video or music selected in the Gemi assistant is automatically synchronized to the Gemi H1. The transmission speed is fast under the same wifi, and it is much faster and more convenient to search resources on the mobile phone than on the large screen projection.

Music directly presses the voice key to speak, and the search results will be displayed directly on the screen. The response speed is fast enough, and the recognition rate is also high. There are not enough slot resources, and many popular music resources are not available.

A little summary

The Jimi H1 is the intelligent projection with the best sound quality that I have ever seen, which may be a little strange. But after listening to songs with the Jimi H1, I can no longer use ordinary speakers to listen to songs calmly. I have only met speakers that will make you love listening to songs before, and the intelligent projection Jimi H1 with the same effect is the first one I have met so far.

The appearance design, projection performance and even the system of Kimi are as strong as ever. H1 may be the largest Kimi projection, and the weight is well controlled, presumably because the sound unit is not heavy. There is a slight regret that it can no longer be hung on the wall, and it will be better with the support. The performance of color, brightness and clarity is not significantly improved compared with the flagship product before Jimi, which is already very good. The 1080P image quality is still very exquisite when viewed 4 meters away from the 100 inch projection screen. The system doesn't want to say much, and there are not many updates. The pace of expected new function development is a little slow. The film and television resources are basically enough, the music resources are insufficient, and there are still too few customized applications.

One last thing

1. The price of the Kimi H1 is not low. The price of nearly 5000 is not much different from that of Kidney Seven. It is not an entry-level intelligent projection product, but more suitable for fever users. If you spend the money of a mobile phone to buy a "TV", the price of 5000 yuan is OK.

2. Whether Jimi H1 can replace TV, my answer is that it can not be completely replaced, and the brightness of H1 is still a problem in daytime. But it can be perfectly replaced at night. For the speaker system, the average TV is not as good as H1. In addition, the H1 screen is larger than the TV and takes up less space. You can move wherever you want. It's capricious. These are all experiences that TV can't bring.

3. Is it suitable for the first projection? Buy it. The update speed of projection is not much slower than that of mobile phone. It is not easy to meet the good products you want. To borrow a lot of fruit fans, "Buy early and enjoy early". It will not be a loss to replace it after two or three years.
