No matter how noisy the talk of TV is, from the current point of view, at least for a foreseeable period of time, the dominant position of TV in the living room is still stable, and the living room is also the best place to watch TV. A family can enjoy watching a TV episode or a variety show while sitting on the sofa, Laughing has also added more warm atmosphere to the whole family. Of course, many friends like to snuggle in the warm quilt before going to bed, lean against the head of the bed and watch a favorite program, and then have a beautiful dream, in which they may dream of their favorite big star.
In this way, adding a suitable TV product to the bedroom has become a problem for those who watch TV before going to bed. Although it is now a big screen, the average family bedroom area can accommodate a larger size TV, but the effect is not good. A 40 inch TV is the best choice. Today, Let me introduce to you the best choice of a bedroom TV - Micro Whale TV 43F. This smart TV produced by Micro Whale, the only designated Internet TV and Internet smart TV upstart brand by China's New Song, uses IPS hard screen, has a lighter body, strong hardware configuration, and a large number of audio and video resources. It's good to put it in the bedroom.
Now, let's experience how this TV works.
The logistics partner of Micro Whale TV is Ririshun. When the TV is delivered, a ring of solid wooden frame is also covered on the outside of the packing box to ensure the safety of the TV during long-distance transportation. I took great efforts to remove the outer wooden frame successfully. Let's look at the outer packing box of the TV. The front of the small whale is the logo of Micro Whale brand, On the top of the packing box, there are one-time seals and unpacking diagrams, which tell users how to unpack correctly, as well as the energy efficiency level and specific model information of the TV, so that users can have a general understanding of the product.
Open the packing box, and on the top are various accessories, which are neatly placed in different foam plastic compartments. The accessories of this TV include TV bracket, power cord, remote control, three in one AV cable, quick start manual, remote control battery, screwdriver, screw thread, etc. The accessories are quite abundant, especially the 3-in-1 AV cable. The manufacturer should have specially configured it considering that some users may still use cable TV set-top boxes with old-fashioned interfaces. It's very thoughtful.
The bracket of Micro Whale TV 43F is very well made. It is light and should be made of plastic, but it has made a metal style. Under the sun, the metal gray bracket scatters metallic luster, which is quite artistic. It matches the gray color of this TV. The installation of the bracket is also very simple. Insert the bracket into the bottom interface of the TV, Screw in four screws (five screws, one of which is for standby) with the built-in screwdriver. Pay attention to the left and right marks on the bracket. Be careful not to reverse them during installation.
The remote control material of Microwhale TV 43F is comfortable to hold, and the arc design on the back can make the remote control more suitable for the user's palm. This remote control adopts the traditional infrared remote control mode, and uses two No. 7 batteries to supply power. In addition to the traditional eleven function keys, it also adds a one button mute key, It is convenient for users to mute the TV when they suddenly receive a call while watching TV. In the later experience, I personally feel that this remote control is sufficient, but after all, it is an infrared remote control, which has certain restrictions on distance and angle. If you can use 2.4Gl Bluetooth, it should be better to experience, and you can also add a more user-friendly voice function.
The power cord plug of Micro Whale TV 43F is also very special, small and occupies no space, especially when wall mounted. However, I wonder if the power cord is designed as a white flat cord and the plug is white in color, can it be better integrated with the white wall of ordinary families when wall mounted?
Today, the main character of our experience evaluation came on the stage. The micro whale TV 43F host was tightly wrapped with layers of foam plastic. After removing the outer plastic film and installing the bracket in place, it can stand steadily on the TV cabinet. At first glance, does it feel very stylish? My TV cabinet can accommodate about 55 inches of TV, and the size of Microwhale TV 43F is 43 inches, which makes it more delicate. The 43 inch IPS full HD hard screen on the front is very profound when it is not turned on. It is almost integrated with the overloaded frame, which looks like no frame from a distance. Today, as TV is getting thinner and narrower, what is the performance of Micro Whale TV in these two aspects?
The thickness of Micro Whale TV 43F is very thin among many similar products. The thickness of the top frame is only 17.87mm. If you have no idea about this value, you can see the effect of placing a dollar coin on it. How about it? Is it shocking? Let's see how narrow the ultra narrow frame is. We only use data to talk. The specific value measured by the caliper is 8.50mm, which is less than one centimeter. The width of the frame is almost negligible. According to the official introduction of Microwhale, the Microwhale TV 43F has brought 15.6% more display area than the ordinary 40 inch TV while only increasing the body area by about 5%. The application of metal wire drawing technology also makes the frame more textured.
The bottom frame of Microwhale TV 43F uses the same gray color matching as the bracket, and the "WHALEY" logo in the middle is also gray, which will not dominate the audience and affect the user's appreciation of the screen content. For example, on both sides of the bracket on the left, there are AC power switches and indicator positions of the TV. The indicator lights are white, which will light up when starting up, and automatically turn off after starting up.
From another angle, we can see that the back of the Micro Whale TV 43F has a curve with a certain radian. Compared with the lightness of the top position, the thickness of the bottom is significantly increased. Of course, this is understandable, because this is not a display but a smart TV integrated with a variety of functions, and various components always occupy a certain space, And proper space will also bring better heat dissipation effect. We can see the dense heat dissipation grille at the bottom of the TV, which is also the built-in sound location. According to the official introduction, the built-in sound of Microwhale TV 43F can reach the HiFi sound quality effect. We don't say whether it can really reach the HIFI level, However, supporting DOLBY/DTS audio dual decoding can really bring better surround sound effect.
The back of Microwhale TV 43F is also designed with a five way button, which can easily control the TV even without a remote control. The area above the five way button is the most concentrated area of the entire TV port, with a total of nine different types of ports, of which the most practical one is two HDMI ports and two USB ports. One USB port is still 3.0, which can bring faster data transmission speed, It is convenient for external hard disk to enjoy Blu ray movies and other audio resources. The addition of SPDIF optical fiber audio port is designed for users who want to obtain higher audio quality. After all, the built-in audio effect is quite different from the external high-end 5.1 audio.
Next, we turn to the evaluation link, switch on the power, press the power button on the bottom of the TV, and the TV starts up. The whole process takes about 25 seconds. With the "addiction to the future" slogan, the TV screen switches to the TV home page interface. The built-in system of MicroWhale TV 43F is the secondary development system WUI based on Android 5.1, as we all know, Although the names of smart TV systems of different brands are different, almost all of them are developed on the basis of Android system. All of them are to make this system more suitable for TV use, with different concepts. Therefore, the system interface will also have many different places. Now let's take a look at the characteristics of Microwhale's WUI system.
1、 System: easy to operate and rich in resources
Now, the content of smart TV can be described as massive. How to better present these content to users and how to let users quickly find what they need in the massive content are all difficult problems. The homepage of WeWhale's WUI system desktop adopts a more flat vertical waterfall design form, presenting the content in categories, together with the global search key on the top, It can effectively shorten the search path of users, so that they can find the content they need faster.
Of course, everyone's preferences are different. A good system does not force all the content to the user, but let the user choose what he needs. Therefore, WeWhale's WUI system homepage content can be "customized", and users can freely set their favorite channels and functions. It has been used for a long time, You will even find that the system seems to understand you more and more, and it will show you everything you like directly in front of your eyes. This is because WUI has a strong learning ability. It will analyze your preferences, and then "give what you like", which is really sweet.
In today's increasingly homogeneous smart TV hardware, in addition to hardware, workmanship and design, the gap between smart TV is more reflected in content, which is the so-called "content is king". This is also the most important part of Microwhale. Today, TV is still the most important form of family entertainment, how can we meet the different preferences of different family members? WeWhale's choice is to integrate high-quality content on the whole platform. Whether it is an information controller, a movie fan, a drama chaser, a variety artist, a square dancer, or a theater ticket winner, you can find the content you like, and the update frequency of these content is also high. I can see many movie blockbusters here, such as "Warcraft", "Big Fish and Begonia", "Sparrow" And so on.
My father and mother are both deep opera lovers. Since the arrival of Micro Whale TV, the old couple have really found fun. The variety of operas is very rich, and the content is diverse. However, many resolutions are slightly lower, and many of them are excerpts, lacking high-definition whole drama. It is suggested that the Micro Whale official can add more content about this and that in the future; My son is eight years old this year, and has already entered the second grade. He loves cartoons very much. This time, he is as excited as discovering the new world. The UI design of the Micro Whale Children's Channel is also very cartoon and cute. This is great. Every time we eat, my son clamors to see several episodes of cartoons. Every time we watch a meal, just a laughing bug will enjoy watching it and laugh incessantly.
Of course, if you are a sports fan, congratulations. You have found a bosom friend. Microwhale has rich sports resources. You can open the reservation function and never miss any exciting games. In addition, Microwhale has rich built-in music resources. After hard work, you can listen to several songs you like, Is it very pleasant? In any case, I like to open the TV and listen to the songs. I do the family cleaning at home alone. After relaxing, I clean up the house in a clean and orderly manner.
Friends who have experienced smart TV may be overwhelmed by various advertisements. When watching an episode of TV series, you need to take a few minutes to advertise. During my experience, I didn't find any advertisements on the video and audio resources of Microwhale. What's more, the TV also gave a one-year VIP membership to Microwhale randomly, More members' exclusive cinema blockbusters and high-definition program resources can be seen, which is of great value.
2、 Screen: delicate display and outstanding effect
The screen of Micro Whale TV 43F is IPS hard screen. My LG TV uses this kind of screen. The biggest advantage of this screen is that there is no residual image when displaying dynamic images. Especially when watching sports events, many brand TV screens will show annoying residual images, which will seriously affect viewing. IPS hard screen will not appear. In addition, Microwhale officially announced that this screen has been specially customized and adjusted to achieve more stable and even brightness, and at the same time, through 22 image quality enhancement technologies, it has obtained a clearer, sharper, real and natural effect. From the actual experience, the display effect of this screen is really commendable, the color is natural and transparent, not very bright, so it is more durable.
Through professional screen display effect testing software, we can more accurately see how the quality of this screen is. From the chromatogram above, we can see that the transition between the colors of this IPS hard screen is very smooth and fine, which is inseparable from the hardware quality that can display 16.7 million colors. With 1920X1080 high-definition resolution, it is absolutely enough to meet the needs of family daily viewing. Of course, some friends will ask why it is not a 4K screen? In fact, the 43 inch screen and 1080P resolution are enough. Because the TV screen is different from the mobile phone screen, no one will lie a few centimeters away from the TV screen to see it, right? Three or four meters away, you can't see the tiny pixels on the 1080P screen, even if you are the eye of fire. Therefore, don't go for 4K unilaterally. My polar projection is 1080P resolution, and the projection picture is 120 inches. I usually watch the movie five meters away (too close to see the whole picture). I feel the display effect is clear and exquisite enough, not to mention the 43 inch TV?
3、 Performance: audio and video entertainment, more than enough
Micro Whale TV 43F is built with a 64 bit dual core Cortex-A53 processor, the main frequency is 1.4GHz, the GPU is ARM MaLi-450 MP2, the storage is 1G DDR3 dual channels, the storage space is 8G, and it supports H.265 hard decoding. From the current point of view, this configuration is not very high-end, but at most it is a mid-range configuration. So, how about the performance of this TV? Is it enough to be the first choice for home bedroom TV? Now, let's make a specific evaluation.
First, let's test the score of Anthare. The final score of Micro Whale TV 43F is 21142. Does it feel very low compared with many mainstream mobile phones? Note that what we are testing is TV. It is meaningless to compare TV and mobile phone scores. To compare or look for similar products, the second picture above shows the score results of mainstream box products in the market this year. Through comparison, we can easily find that the score of Microwhale TV 43F is close to that of Xiaomi Box mini, ranking at the middle end among many box products.
We tested the video playback ability of MicroWhale TV 43F through Anthare video test. The final test results are as follows: Among 30 test videos with different resolutions and formats, MicroWhale TV 43F perfectly supports 27 of them, only 3 of which cannot be fully supported. Among them, 4K video can also play smoothly, which is a highlight. This playback ability is very powerful.
At the end of the score run, we will test the performance potential of this TV through the game. Is there something missing in such a powerful configuration, just watching TV, listening to music and watching movies? By the way, the game! Although I am not a game expert, I also like to play several games to relax my mood when I am busy with my work. This time I tested two large-scale games on the Android platform, "Extreme Flying Car" and "Street Fighter 4". The final test results were satisfactory. Running these two games on Microwhale TV 43F, they were very smooth, without any stuttering, and matched with Bluetooth game consoles, That's a treat! Of course, this can also reflect the strong performance of this TV from one side. Large games are worth mentioning, and other small leisure games such as chess and card games are worth mentioning. It's not nice to have fun with your family!
After more than ten days of trial, this micro whale TV has left a deep impression on me. As a bedroom TV, it is nearly perfect with excellent workmanship, first-class picture quality, strong performance, easy-to-use system and rich resources. In addition to the price of 1299 (excluding one-year membership), it is definitely a competitive and cost-effective product. Although this TV is low-end among the rich product lines of Microwhale, its quality performance in all aspects has not been discounted at all, which also shows the degree of dedication of Microwhale to making products, compared with similar products of smart TV brands such as Xiaomi and LeTV, Its quality is not inferior or even inferior. It is the so-called "heroes don't ask where they come from". Although there is still a certain gap between Microwhale and Xiaomi and LeTV in terms of brand popularity, after all, TV is bought for use. Practical, enough and easy to use is the king. From this perspective, this TV is really the best choice for bedroom TV.
