Relying on the content: A generation of small whale TVs exquisitely opens the box

On August 13th, Micro-Whale Technology released the first 55-inch 4K Internet TV in Shanghai. For most of the tails, Micro-Whale Technology is relatively unfamiliar. In fact, Micro-Whale Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2015. They are positioning themselves as Internet technology company focused on home entertainment. This will bring to the tail the contents and experience of Microwhale's first debut product, the Microwhale 55-inch TV.

Needless to say, the digital tail editing department can receive a wide range of evaluation products from major manufacturers each day. Because the digital tails inherit the most realistic and objective experience content, they cannot present the depth of experience content to the tail within a short period of time. We are. With the intention of sharing a good life, in order to allow tails to feel the fun of unpacking products for the first time, the digital tail has launched a "Tail Out of the Box" section designed to give the tails the fastest and lightest content sharing. .



Every time a television product is sent for testing, it is necessary to complete the unpacking process with the digital tail editing department partners. This time is no exception. As a 4K TV with a large 55-inch screen, the body of the micro-whale TV does not seem to give people a bloated feeling, and even thought that the micro-whale company sent us the wrong product. The protection measures of the box also use a similar method to the millet TV. It is necessary to pull out the plastic card slot from the bottom of the box to open the box successfully.


For the vast majority of televisions, the only role of the TV's paper packaging box is to ensure that the TV is not vulnerable to damage during transit. However, the most interesting detail is that the inside of the packaging box of the micro-whale TV has its own interior, and the user can cut it out according to the pattern provided by Micro-Whale Technology, and then create a cute paper-sized three-dimensional whale. When you see interesting little details, it's like finding a small egg outside the product itself.



In addition to the TV's metal brackets, all the extra gadgets are placed in a small paper box. After opening the package, you can see the accessories are: remote control battery 1, battery 7, bracket screw 4, power cord 1 . However, what makes it more difficult to understand is why the power cord of the Micro Whale TV is not directly built into the TV but is designed to be plugged in independently. After all, the manufacturing cost of such a design will be higher.


Unfortunately, there is no standard screwdriver for small whale TVs. It would be even better if it could be equipped with a screwdriver like Xiaomi or other Internet smart TV manufacturers. After all, Internet smart TVs are aimed at a new generation of young people who may be home to many people or There is not even a decent screwdriver in the dormitory. Fortunately, there are not many places where a small whale TV needs a screwdriver, and screws are also common Phillips screws.



First of all, you can see the TV's back (right) has the following interfaces: HDMI 2.0 3, TV TV input 1, AV input 1, 3.5mm headphone jack 1, USB 2.0 1, USB 3.0 2, Ethernet interface 1, Optical fiber input 1, SD Card 1, the interface of the whole body is still relatively complete, but the back of the TV body is relatively thin plastic back cover, with a finger pressing there will be a slight depression, of course, this does not affect the normal in use.


What is more interesting is that the back of the small whale TV provides a joystick button, so that the key can be avoided as an emergency key when the physical remote control is lost, or the button can be used to access settings and then the mobile phone can The television is effectively configured so that a virtual remote can be realized with a mobile phone, without losing the embarrassing situation that the physical remote cannot use the television normally. This is a small detail that many brand televisions will ignore. PS: Looking back at the two television boxes in my home, one of the remote controls was lost, and one of the remote controls was broken. Now that they are still lying quietly in my drawers, it's really helpless.




The remote control of the micro whale TV is a bit thicker than the thickness of many smart TVs, because it needs to be driven by two 7-cell batteries, but such a remote control will be better in terms of feel, and I feel more fit in my hands. Palms. Since its thickness is thicker than ordinary smart TV remote control, the keystrokes of the buttons are naturally deeper, so it is more comfortable to press, and there is no illusion that pressing down does not seem to feedback, and people feel that they have not been successfully pressed. .
The remote control of the micro-whale TV uses bluetooth for command transmission, and supports voice function. If you don't want to cumbersomely press, you can use the voice function to quickly find the video source you want. It feels very convenient.



Microwhale TV in the fuselage frame it uses three metal anodized aluminum alloy processing front frame, LOGO uses a minimalist design, giving the impression that there is no design, but there is no way to say Retro sense, very simple.


Of course, for LCD TV era, the choice of LCD panel is also very important. The small whale TV adopts the LGD (LG Display) RGB IPS hard screen panel. This is a true 4K LCD that can achieve 4K resolution, which is 3840 2160 resolution. panel. The small whale TV uses side-entry LED backlight technology, which is independently developed by Microwhale TPV OEM. The LCD panel used by the Little Whale TV can achieve a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 with 10 bit color. Although it is a remake of the camera, it can also show a more gorgeous color expression. It is indeed impressive.



In the aspect of wireless transmission function, the micro-whale TV itself has a dual-band dual-antenna Wi-Fi module and a module that supports Bluetooth 4.1. The tested Wi-Fi signal reception capability is fairly good, and the Wi-Fi module (supports 802.11 ac) reception. The signal strength is better than the Xiaomi TV2. In the configuration, the micro-whale TV uses a 6A828 TV chip from MStar and a 64-bit Cortex A53 quad-core processor central processing chip. The processor operates at a frequency of 1.4 GHz, with 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of ROM.


Micro Whale TV adopts the Whaley UI which is customized based on Yun OS 64-bit system. In addition, the system supports Android L software, which is not poor in software and is still abundant.



In fact, compared to the CRT TV era, the new smart TV has not been improved in the effect of loudspeakers. Even the level of performance is not as good as that of CRT TVs in the old era. The reason is that modern thin and light LCD TVs are hard to place thick speakers. The natural bass effect cannot be well presented. In order to solve this problem, the Micro Whale TV adopts a double-sided balanced passive bass diaphragm technology to create a more excellent external playback effect. In the actual experience, we can find that through the sound and software hardware and software configuration, it can indeed create a good sound field effect, but due to the limited size, the bass effect is still more limited, for the pursuit of a higher external sound quality tail, or selected Buy the official audio and video kit from Micro Whale.



In the system, there are built-in system software that is not rich in resources for consumers to use. There are some Android games that are optimized for TV. They are suitable for relaxing when you are bored and serve as a channel for leisure entertainment. Of course, if you want to pursue a better game experience, it is recommended that tails buy more professional video game consoles.



The size of the machine is 1230mm wide and 711mm high and 17mm thick. The whole body is relatively thin and is very suitable for wall hanging on the wall. The body's bracket is made of metal as the main material and looks very solid. If you look carefully at the LCD panel of a micro-whale TV, you can actually see that the TV has a more obvious BM area, commonly known as the "black border," but television is not as close to the cell phone as it is to watch. The great influence is almost negligible.



In the era of smart TV, hardware is just a part of the user experience. It is not all, rich and high-quality audio and video content is the most important core of smart TV. Actually, in addition to having good hardware, the micro-whale TV's essence is actually its own content. In terms of content, Micro-Whale TV has Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Star Media, IMAX, Caixin Media, and Sports and Sports. The content support of the coffee company, according to Microwhale, said that they will enrich the exclusive resources of the microwhale TV.
Through resource advantages, even rare discoveries of micro-whales in domestically produced TV resource stations have many newer American dramas for consumers to watch. Although there are annual fees of 199 yuan, they are like such rich resources and relatively low annual fees. The advantages of the micro-whale TV highlight a lot, but there are individual resources like the server is not very stable, there will be intermittent buffering too long.


As a white household appliance that can be easily used by family members, the Little Whale TV Smart System has a built-in child interface. Here, there are four simpler and more intuitive options for children to choose from. The cost of learning is much lower than the traditional interface. Intimate.



Not only television, but also micro whale television on the mobile phone has also been extended, the micro whale provides an app called "micro whale helper", in the APP which actually provides the humidity data presentation, in the mobile phone side can achieve the projection of mobile phone resources. The "push local installation package" function can also be implemented through the mobile phone, which eliminates the tedious installation process on the TV. In addition, the micro-whale TV can also download the exclusive APP application software for mass TV by installing a third-party application market, such as a sofa butler ().


As an Internet smart TV, the work and choice of micro whale TV are all excellent TV products. The hardware price of 3799 yuan + service fee of 398 yuan for two years (a total of 4197 yuan) is enough to indicate that micro whale is passed Paying content to explore new profit models is similar to LeTV. Overall, as the first debut of the company, this product has done quite well. Regardless of the product's workmanship and the presentation of the LCD panel, it reveals its sincerity.
