Introduction: the direction of traditional TV and Internet TV

In recent years, our life changes can no longer be explained simply by speed, and we are surrounded by all kinds of new digital technology products! Our life is becoming more and more intelligent, and many traditional industries have begun to transform quietly! After all, this is the general trend. Convenient digital products make our life more colorful! It has indeed changed many of our past habits!

In the past two years, living room entertainment has become a theme, and all kinds of Internet TV and intelligent projection are constantly "brushing" the sense of existence! It can be said that there is a threat! More choices and lower prices are not bad for consumers. Emerging Internet TV brands such as Xiaomi, LeTV, Microwhale, etc., have brought the traditional LCD TV industry into another bloodbath! Some people say that the market of traditional TV brands is being eroded by emerging Internet TV brands, which seems to have this momentum. But is it true that those engaged in "industry" cannot play with those engaged in "network"?

It is believed that everyone knows about Sharp. As an old LCD panel manufacturer, Sharp has 43 years of LCD panel production experience. In terms of quality, Sharp has made numerous manual adjustments to each panel to achieve the most perfect state. The emerging Internet TV is really popular! But don't forget to mention how many hardware companies don't use Sharp screens as "hype" capital? You can imagine how excellent the quality of Sharp LCD screen is! I was lucky to get the chance to try out the 45 inch LCD TV of the "Sharpqing Series" Internet TV. In the past year, I have been using Micro Whale TV because I am working in other places. The small 43 inch micro whale in the rental house is enough, and the 45 inch micro whale is slightly larger! Is the traditional LCD TV brand better or the emerging Internet TV brand better? Just for comparison.

Unpacking and details

"Sharpqing Series" Internet TV 45 inch LCD TV adopts the original imported LCD panel from Japan, and has Dolby decoding of surround sound cinema, Equipped with 64 bit high-performance processor dual core (1G DDR+8G EMMC) CPU, dual core GPU, effective Improve TV reading speed, and equip The new Internet TV Smart UI: high-quality VOD&APP services, rich Internet interactive content, and more cost-effective hardware configuration enable young people to enjoy the "noble and inexpensive" Internet products. A change in the previous Sharp TV "unattainable" price model, good TV is not expensive. what is more Join hands with Alibaba Youku and Tudou members to enjoy more wonderful and rich content. You can enjoy the latest and hottest TV dramas and more application functions when you buy Sharp TV.

To be honest, I was skeptical before I contacted the "Sharpqing Series" Internet TV, because the biggest disadvantage of traditional LCD TV manufacturers is undoubtedly the resource! Speaking of hardware, it is the same as the current mobile phone market, as long as you are willing to spend money on configuration, it is not a problem! But whether the software UI and resources are rich enough or user-friendly is the real problem!

There are only two legs with few basic accessories. It looks plastic, but in fact, the plastic is just the shell. In turn, you can see the internal metal skeleton! Generally, many manufacturers will only use metal supports after the current TV is 50 inches old! For example, my 43 inch micro whale TV leg brace is plastic. The metal bracket is stronger and less prone to aging! The metal skeleton is equipped with plastic shell for paint baking treatment, giving consideration to both firmness and beauty!

This is a free antenna isolator, which is used to connect the outdoor antenna. The remote control of this Sharp TV has a special shape. Small and delicate, excellent hand feel! You can see that its tail design is very consistent with the best comfortable angle for people to hold! At the same time, as can be seen in the previous picture, you can stand it on the table when not in use! Just looking at it will make you feel very forced! The front black panel is frosted, and the back white part is piano paint! Two No.7 batteries were given away for immediate use!

Sharp is considerate in details, and the heat dissipation holes are evenly distributed on the back panel of the fuselage! Through simple comparison, it is found that the heat dissipation effect of the 45 inch TV of the "Sharpqing Series" is better than that of the 43 inch micro whale.

The 45 inch Internet TV of the "Sharpqing Series" provides a very rich interface, including three HDMI interfaces alone! It is also very rare to provide an SD card plug-in interface! It is convenient to watch photos on TV!

Let's see the external socket of the 43 inch Micro Whale TV, which is much less than the 45 inch TV of the "Sharpqing Series"! Therefore, in terms of external expansion, the 45 inch Internet TV of "Sharpqing Series" is obviously better than the 43 inch TV of Microwhale!

After reading this picture, I believe you will understand why the 45 inch TV of the "Sharpqing Series" has better heat dissipation than the Micro Whale! The heat dissipation holes on the back are obviously more sharp, and there are also heat dissipation holes at the bottom of both machines! But compared with Sharp 45 inch, it is obviously more! So the heat dissipation effect will be better!

As for the physical keys on the back, Sharp is designed with single and vertical multiple keys on the side, while Microwhale is designed with direction keys on the bottom of the side. In this regard, I prefer the design of Microwhale, which is easier to get started! Sharp's design still follows the design concept of traditional LCD display! It is slow to start because you need to be familiar with the key position, but it is more convenient to operate after being familiar with it!

Through comparison, it is clear that the 45 inch TV panel of the "Sharp Series" is thinner and thinner, so Sharp is more slender and slim in terms of visual appearance, and the 43 inch Micro Whale is slightly bulky. The 43 inch frame of Weijing has been brushed, which is not easy to leave fingerprints. The Sharp 45 inch TV has a plastic glossy frame, which is easy to leave fingerprints, but the appearance is more upscale!

The running status light of the 45 inch TV of the "SharpQing Series" is in the lower right corner, red in standby and green in operation. The light itself is OK, but I don't like it very much. It is mainly too bright, but it depends on my preference! With the Dolby decoder in the surround sound theater, you don't need to configure the stereo again!

System UI friendliness

The picture above is "Sharpqing Series", and the one below is Micro Whale, which was not the case when I first got the TV! At the beginning, the UI of this Sharp 45 inch TV was as simple as "crazy"! And very, very difficult to use! At one time, I lost the enthusiasm to continue to experience it, but soon the system was updated. When the latest version of the system was upgraded, it became an interface like the one above! At the beginning, I was a little unaccustomed (not bad, just used to the operation of Microwhale), but as time went by, when I became familiar with the interface, I found that the UI was very good!

For a good system UI, aesthetics and ease of use should be the most basic requirement that most people pursue, but in addition to these two points, some problems are often ignored. For example, the system UI of Microwhale TV takes into account the core of aesthetics and ease of use, but why would I choose Sharp UI better? The good thing is the richness of the classification interface. The Sharp classification UI is much richer than Microwhale. The popular resources of good resources are updated every day. Microwhale can see the latest updates only when you go in, and each classification page of the Sharp UI has the recommendation display of the latest and hottest resources, so you have one less click to see the update link in the process of operation!

The personal center mainly displays the status of individual members, and recently watches programs and collections! However, there is a slight difference in that the option "everyone is watching" is added at the bottom. Here you can see more quickly which movies are popular recently.

Chasing dramas is naturally one of the biggest functions of TV, and there are all kinds of domestic and foreign TV drama resources! There are also real-time updates of satellite TV synchronization hot dramas! No ads automatically jump to the title and tail! Whether it's a wife or a mother! This effect catches up with the rhythm of the TV play!

The film part is also the same, and various popular movies are also very rich! Because it is a cooperation with Youku Tudou, I can imagine the huge amount of resources. I roughly reviewed it, and found that there are basically all popular movies, as well as some newly released movies. So the update effect is very good!

The definition of movie resources is also a lot to choose from! The effect of 4K watching movies is still very good! The setting of finding actors and selecting other works directly through movies has always been my favorite. It can be realized in both TV dramas and movies! I often find a beautiful girl after watching a film, and then I want to continue to see her other resources!

The variety show is almost the same as other Internet TV programs! But I found that the proportion of folk art and opera programs, including comic dialogue parties, is obviously high! If the regular Internet TV is just a TV for young people, this Sharp 45 inch Internet TV will also be a dish for old people! As long as you teach the elderly at home how to operate, the massive resources of the opera crosstalk evening party can definitely make grandpa and grandma level users happy! Good TV is suitable for all ages!

It is said that the elderly naturally have children. The system can preset the age of your baby, and then recommend resources according to the age! Cartoons are naturally indispensable, but more are many early education programs, and I roughly turned them over, they are very healthy resources! It needs to be pointed out that children's classification and animation resources are separate! If you are a parent, you must understand that many animation resources actually have a strong adult orientation! There will be some content that is not conducive to the growth of children, so the separation of animation and children will reduce the number of young children in the family who are exposed to some animation resources that are not conducive to growth in advance!

Some high-quality early education content will need to be watched for a fee, but the price is very cheap, which is only a few tens of dollars a month. Compared with the tuition fees for similar early education training classes outside, it may be just a registration fee! You can learn knowledge at home! Very good!

Adults can choose actors and directors to watch the film, and small pot friends can also choose their favorite cartoon stars to watch the film! See it all at once!

In addition to the regular resources, the purchase of a free member for one year! The membership content is naturally more abundant! At present, there are activities for only 199 yuan a year, plus 2 months for free, and WeWhale members are currently 299 yuan a year! And I found that 70% of the movie resources of WeWhale TV can't be seen once the members expire. Only members can watch it! Sharp is not so terrible in this respect. The proportion of resources between members and non members is about half to half, which is more conscientious!

TV shopping is no longer the era of watching live broadcast and shopping by phone. To be honest, this function is good! But it's really scary! If you teach your mother how to use and bind your Alipay, you can imagine the consequences! Even if you don't bind it to your mother and wife, it will happen sooner or later if they find out! Because it's too convenient. And the variety of goods is very complete!

Needless to say, the application resources are very rich. The general APP can be installed, but it is not necessarily dedicated to TV. You can download the special software market for TV dramas like Dangbei Market. In fact, there are a lot of resources! Karaoke, yoga, square dance everything! Although many of them need to pay, they are also dozens of dollars a month. Why not practice dancing and learn yoga at home?

Sports, news, funny, animation, documentary, etc. also have special categories, and resources are also massive! Do you want to finish the focus interviews for several years at a time? Here can satisfy you! Do you want to watch the football night for several years? Here can also satisfy you! Internet TV is not like traditional digital TV, which is a live program, but its biggest advantage is that there is no advertising and continuous broadcasting. Although the timeliness of these resources is not up to date, I have seen that most of the programs are recorded within a week, which is a very fast update!

Comparison of display effects

I don't know why my micro whale 43 inch screen is so "yellow". Although the actual appearance shows that Sharp's TV screen is somewhat white, the details are good. There is no drag or serious color deviation and light leakage in the display!

Through comparison, it can be found that the 43 inch TV screen of Microwhale is really warm, and there are many obvious light leaks on the screen when it is displayed in full black. After all, it has been used for a year. Objectively speaking, there was a slight light leak when it was first used, but the situation has become more and more serious with time! Sharp screen, there is no obvious light leakage phenomenon!

As a LCD panel manufacturer for 43 years, Sharp doesn't have to worry too much about the lack of performance of this 45 inch screen! In addition to the regular comparison test, you can download several 4K videos to play and see their excellent performance! It is really clear that even pores can be seen! The light in my rental cabin is not good enough, so the actual samples taken are not very clear! I'm also very depressed that I can't show you the clearest picture quality! But I am responsible to say that the clarity of this screen is absolutely speechless!

Extension and expansion

With AliTV mobile app, you can use your mobile phone and TV to interact more! The mobile phone is transformed into a game controller, and the mobile phone is transformed into a remote controller. The pictures, videos, and game pictures on the mobile phone can be synchronized to the TV screen through the same screen! And the difference between this app and common mobile phone on screen software is that you can directly manage various APP resources in TV sets through mobile phones! Very convenient and fast! There are many somatosensory games in the TV APP, which can be played with somatosensory peripherals, karaoke singing, controller games, somatosensory games, early childhood education, yoga square dance learning, plus rich film and television resources! It can be said that this "Sharpqing Series" 45 inch Internet TV is a "versatile" player that can meet the different needs of family members!

summary

In terms of hardware performance, Sharp has quality assurance. You don't have to worry too much about its performance! Thinner LCD panel, better heat dissipation, more peripheral interfaces. In addition to the display, there is a little white, no smear, no light leakage, and the system runs smoothly. Good compatibility! As for the sound quality, it has already performed well for a TV! There must be a gap between you and professional audio! As a traditional TV brand, in fact, the short board is resources and UI. The cooperation with Youku Tudou, combined with Ali's customized content, has made it a "hard product" with both hardware and software. It is undeniable that the system UI is still immature, but this is not a problem. Since Sharp has its own Internet TV, why buy another Internet brand TV with Sharp screen?
