Sports competition to share, the World Cup perfect match micro whale 55-inch PRO TV evaluation

The smart TV market in 2016 is a year of change. Internet companies such as Xiaomi, Leshi, and Storm are all actively expanding the TV market. Each combines its own advantages and expands its territory. We hope to occupy a place in the TV market. Here we have to say that LeTV has taken the initiative by combining its own film and television and sports resources. Millet combined its own marketing advantages, but also highlight its powerful side, and in order to make up for the lack of television resources, Xiaomi also set up a millet film company to supplement the resources. So how do micro-whales face the competition? How can we attract consumers? This is not just to fight high cost performance and video resources.


The elite product refinement and user experience are the kings. I always believe that whether the traditional hardware manufacturers or the Internet hardware manufacturers, in fact, the core should be on the hardware, after all, users mainly buy hardware, other resources are more Assist, if the hardware is sufficiently outstanding, resource integration from the strategic cooperation level can completely solve the resource problem. Just as micro-whales do their own hardware, they integrate many resources such as Tencent and Ali.
This time, the author got a 55-inch PRO MV, and I will have a full experience here. If you are interested in following my footsteps, take a look and believe that you will have a deeper understanding of the micro whale. What we understand.

Appearance: Ultra-narrow frame design is simple


One of the highlights of the 55-inch PRO is the ultra-narrow aviation-class all-aluminum frame design, which greatly enhances the visual experience, while adopting sandblast oxidation, diamond trimming, and double anodizing processes. The soft matte texture enhances the overall texture of the product and specifically modulates the gray space, making it even more youthful and fashionable.


At the bottom right of the screen is the switch logo of the TV, and the actual power button is hidden at the bottom of the TV. Simultaneously, the frontal space is simpler and more humane.


The middle of the bottom border of the screen is a golden twill-like brand LOGO, which can be said to be full.


Of course, no matter how good the product is, there are gaps. The gap between the screen and the frame of the 55-inch PRO is slightly larger, and it is mainly four corners. However, this time the author got an engineering version of the product. When the production version is used, the problem is believed to be improved and optimized.





The Microwhale 55-inch PRO backboard is an integrated molded plastic design that makes the body more uniform. There is a row of recessed heat dissipation holes above the back panel. The whale's LOGO is printed in the middle position, making it particularly adorable. There is a built-in Hi-Fi stereo, so the thickness is thicker here. At the bottom right is the TV button operation area. The design of the cross rocker is also very easy to use in an invisible situation.


In terms of interfaces, the Micro Whale 55-inch PRO is still quite complete. HDMI 2.0 connector x 3, TV TV input connector x 1, AV input connector x 1, SPDIF fiber optic connector x 1, 3.5mm headphone connector x 1, USB 2.0 connector x 1, USB 3.0 connector x 2, Ethernet connector x 1, The SD Card interface x 1 and so on, which are equipped with numerous interfaces, have greatly improved usability. Among them HTDMI interface has exerted the potential of 4K ultra-clear output even more. The USB 3.0 interface will increase the transmission rate to reduce latency and delay while playing local movies.

Hardware: Extremely strong configuration

Micro Whale 55-inch PRO screen with LG imported genuine RGB 4K IPS hard screen, resolution up to 3840 x 2160, let the video more clearly and naturally. With a 178° ultra-wide viewing angle and 8ms response speed, the screen's dynamic contrast ratio reaches 10,000:1 or more, which makes it a good angle whether you are sitting, looking or looking sideways.


At the same time, the aircraft equipped with the MStar 6M60 independent image processing chip, using MEMC dynamic image compensation technology, can perfectly eliminate the image smear under high-speed motion. This allows you to watch the football game and play the game screen more smoothly. Using the MStar 6A828 quad-core 64-bit TV chip, it boasts 4K video decoding capability of up to 60 frames per second. Supports H.265 10bit hard decoding, which enables full support of mainstream video formats.


Supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi protocol, standard with HDMI 2.0 and USB3.0 interfaces. Equipped with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ultra-high-speed flash memory, it supports BLE 4.1 Bluetooth protocol, no matter if it is playing games, equipment applications, or external computers and stereos.


In order to better test the effects of 4K video playback, the author not only uses the content of the video resources of the microwhale TV itself, but also downloads some 4K videos for it. The test results also show outstanding performance. The 4K video is used most in the roast duck beauty. The play is smooth and the picture is delicate. The built-in Hi-Fi-grade audio has two patented technologies, double-sided balanced bass boost and treble diffuser, and matches Dolby sound technology. The bass performance in the test is outstanding.

System: Stable and Reliable Resources

On the system side, the Micro Whale 55-inch PRO is equipped with a 64-bit custom version of the Yun OS system. It is the first waterfall-flow page layout that fits the user's operating habits in the mobile Internet era. The upper right corner of the interface shows the current weather forecast, city, WiFi status, and specific time. If a USB flash drive or SD card is inserted, it will be displayed in the upper right corner.

The first column of the system interface is the signal source. It mainly selects external input devices such as HDMI connection, AV connection, and cable TV. The display is very intuitive.


The second column is My TV. The area is divided into two major sections, one is the viewing history of the video, the collection of the drama collection and the entrance of the personal center, and the other is the item that can be customized according to the hobby. Customizable greatly reduces the repetitiveness of user operations, making the entire operation more user-friendly.



Next is the wonderful recommendation bar. First is the recommendation section today. This section mainly focuses on the current headlines and film and television productions. Everyone is watching the section. The main recommendation is to click and watch relatively high videos and information content. In the rankings section, the recommended movies and TV shows are the latest list, the hit list, the star list, and the collection list. According to different classifications, the system is organized and recommended to meet the needs of different groups of people.



The film and television classification column is divided into 10 major categories: film, variety, children, news, music, anime, television drama, sports, documentary, and opera. Within each category, in order to meet the needs of different users, similar categories are classified. The consideration is very comprehensive. In terms of video resources, the microwhale aggregates Tencent videos, Mango TV, VICE and other high-quality content resources, and builds on the content of Chinese culture to provide users with a quality content experience.


The app bar is divided into four parts, App Store, My Apps, Local Play, and Popular Apps. Let's take a look at the application store first. Although this is a must-have for me when I first contacted the micro-whale TV, application resources have greatly improved, but there are still some gaps compared to some other TV application markets. Of course, this part is believed to have more resources to supplement with the deepening of cooperation between the micro-whale and Ali and Tencent. The micro whale may also be aware of its own short board. For this purpose, the installation of third-party applications has been specifically opened. Users can install externally downloaded software and games through remote installation and U disk installation, as long as it is an Android application. Normal installation, but the key is to be optimistic about whether the application itself supports the TV side.

Can the new whale TV products install the sofa butler application market? The answer is yes! Xiao Bian first installed the sofa butler on the 55-inch PRO at the venue in two ways!

1. Installed via U disk


The easiest and most direct way is to install the U disk, download the latest version of the sofa butler on the sofa's official website () and save it in the U disk, connect through the USB port of the Micro Whale TV 55 inch PRO, you can be in the micro whale TV "I The application "-" U disk installation" directly identifies the sofa butler's apk installation package.


Click on the installation to conveniently install the sofa housekeeper.


2. Remote installation


No U disk? It is as easy as remote installation! Keep with the Micro Whale TV 55 inch PRO under the same LAN, go to "My Apps" - "Remote Install" and follow the prompts to enter the appropriate URL in the computer's browser.


Download the pre-installed sofa butler apk installation package directly to the browser window, and then follow the prompts to install the sofa butler on the Mini Whale TV 55 inch PRO.

Open the sofa butler, you can download more and more fun video application software through the sofa butler, watching video on demand, recommend using pudding video; watching live TV, HDP broadcast recommended; more interesting content, please use Tencent video TV Edition, TV, etc.



The last is the settings bar, where you can make more adjustments to the 55-inch PRO, which includes WiFi connections, Bluetooth adapters, and universal settings. There is no more introduction here, as long as you remember to take a look from time to time Whether the system has been updated is good, because with the iterative upgrade of the system, the microwhale will provide a more complete operating system.

Conclusion: As a TV brand with no high profile, no exaggeration, and no intention of making products, micro whale still has many ways to go, but its persistent pursuit of products can be said to be obvious to all. From the first generation of products to the current T550, both hardware and software have greatly improved. And this time, the 55-inch PRO also uses MEMC motion picture compensation technology to effectively eliminate motion picture smearing. Dual-engine drive makes the image processing capabilities more outstanding. In order to give the user a more quality and user-friendly experience, Yun OS is also equipped. I believe with the iterative upgrade of the system, there will be stronger performance. In summary, personally think that the TV is still worth considering into a product.
