Sound and video in one thing: micro whale 4K TV generation 55 inch evaluation

The traditional TV market is composed of various Japanese, Korean and Chinese companies, many of which are old and qualified brands. Due to the lack of core technologies, companies in other fields are often difficult to penetrate this market, but this barrier was broken in the era of smart TV. First of all, LeTV, which brought Internet TV to the market, followed closely with brands such as Xiaomi and even PPTV, all of which are madly entering the Internet market. What is the difference between Internet TV and traditional TV?

The so-called Internet TV does not actually have a very clear dividing line. In general, smart TVs are known for their use of smart operating systems and their features for installing applications. Internet TV is an upgrade of smart TVs. The point of view of Internet TV lies in the combination of the system and the intricateness of the system. With a rich video and entertainment resources, it constitutes a complete Internet TV.


This year's TV market can be described as extremely hot. In addition to the flagship new products released by various brand giants, there are many sub-brands and even video companies that have joined the battle, such as Cool Sky, Lenovo 17TV and PPTV under the Skyworth Group. Just a few days ago, a company set up in April only launched a 4K Internet TV, which is a micro whale TV with high attention recently.

Appearance configuration introduction

The Micro Whale TV uses a 55-inch LG IPS panel with a physical resolution of 3840x2160, a resolution that is 4 times that of Full HD, and a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees. This LG original panel has 1.07 billion color rendering capabilities, and the theoretical gray-scale performance and color transition will be more uniform. It is worth mentioning that according to the micro-whale, it adopts the industry-leading PLGP technology light guide plate. Its performance is 10% higher than that of ordinary light guide plates, and its color performance is also improved. The speed of response is 8ms. Can be rated as mainstream.


Micro whale TV does not have a very special appearance in appearance, the standard 16:9 LCD panel. But after careful taste, you can see its design intentions. This micro-whale TV uses an ultra-narrow frame design with a border width of only 6.8 MM, which is a high level in the industry. The highlight of the ultra-narrow frame lies in the high ratio of the screen and good visual effects. Even the recognition of the frame by the naked eye during the day will be greatly reduced, leading to a visual experience without borders.


The design of the back of the TV is relatively simple. Even the heat dissipation hole is designed in the groove. Apart from the power interface and the body button, the most conspicuous part is the right interface part.


In addition to the ultra-narrow frame, the frame of the small whale TV is also made of aerospace aluminum alloy. According to the official description, the surface is processed through 20,000 rpm high-speed diamond grinding process, the surface of the frame shines with diamonds, and three times of anodized metal surface treatment process The introduction also brings a nice texture to the aluminum alloy frame.


Although the micro-whale TV on the bottom bracket adopts this inverted V-shaped design, the surface is electroplated, the front part has a high-gloss texture effect, and the rear part has a metallic matte taste. The mix and match style is very sharp.


Microwhale TV provides a wealth of interfaces, including HDMI2.0, USB3.0 and SD card and other access devices, the measured 2TB USB3.0 mobile hard disk recognition is normal.


The bottom is mostly video signal ports, including HDMI, AV, RJ45, S/PDIF, etc., very rich and practical.


Audio is a part that many TVs will ignore. In particular, the performance of speaker units in some low-cost TVs is often maddening. Microwhale TV adopts high-profile ultra-thin audio technology. The technology double-sided balanced passive bass diaphragm technology brings shocking bass performance. However, the actual level can be known through actual listening.

In the configuration, the micro-whale TV uses a 4-core processor of the Mstar Cortex A53 architecture, clocked at 1.4 GHz. Built-in 8G storage space, 2G running memory, is mainstream in terms of configuration.

system interface

The system of micro-whale TV is YUNOS. The main interface can be described as an anti-tradition. In the past, many smart TV's interfaces were horizontally scrolled, the interface layout was similar, and the micro-whale TV used a vertical layout, and no need to deliberately operate the remote control. Remote control of the TV somewhere, the signal is good. In addition, in order to improve the decoding effect, the micro-whale TV also uses a 4-core Mali-450 image processor, which fully supports H.265 10bit hard decoding. The mainstream video format can be tolerated, and will be used for video, especially 4K decoding, in subsequent evaluations. test.


The signal source interface, as its name suggests, is used to select the interface for input signals. When a video signal is input, the port can be previewed and selected directly, which is very intuitive.


My TV interface, where there are many kinds of video programs, including the news of the day, and the cable TV is not much difference.

Picture effect real shot

Sakura map, the background color is no problem, blue and white, the tone of the picture itself is also good, white with red.


Beauty figure, skin color is slightly whitish, hair color is no problem, although not reached the kind of wine Red Sharp 80UD30A effect, but the price of the two TVs, after all, worse than ten times.


The cloud-like sky contrasts sharply with the clear ground. The color levels are good, and the dark details are also very clear.

Jungle Castle, the color of various leaves is a good expression.


Lijiang night view, house texture clear light color is better.


Also in Lijiang, the color of the roof is very positive and the leaves in the lower right corner are deep.

Professional test chart real shot

This picture is used to test the finesse of the TV.


The minimum capability of the micro-whale TV is about 16%, which is a qualitative improvement over the Full HD TV.


The text display is barely to the second row, the first row is not recognized, which has a certain relationship with the panel size and PPI.


The difference between color blocks, the difference between black and white squares in this test is relatively clear.


Color performance test chart, from the figure can be seen in the lower left corner of the color distinction is very clear, basically all triangles. The color transition in the upper left corner is also quite good, but it's just green.


The 4K tone level restores the figure, the gray scale is too good, the shadow level is visible to the naked eye as 8 and the highlight level is 254. The performance is still good.

Panel Performance Instrument Test

Color, brightness, color accuracy, and uniformity of panel brightness were tested with Spider 4 Professional.

The gamut instrument gives data bits of 95% sRGB, 71% ARGB. This machine has not been able to advertise whether there is a wide color gamut technology, but from the measured results, the performance of its color gamut is still quite satisfactory. The maximum brightness is 335.6, and every 25% of the brightness control is very good.

The 12 color accuracy of the wonderful progress aspect is not bad. The test is performed under the standard setting, so there is no exaggerated deviation phenomenon.


This test shows the brightness uniformity of the panel area through 9 areas of testing. Little whale TV uses a new light guide plate. On the results, the performance of this PLGP is not bad. After the LG original 4K panel, the light transmittance is good. Except for a slight drop in the brightness of the left and right corners, the brightness of the other 6 places is basically the same. Leakage control is also good.

Video decoding test

4K video Siri in Miri, playing normally.


4K video Barcelona demonstration, the film source is 4K/30 frames/80 bit rate, decoding normal resolution is very high.


4K video landscape, HEVC coding, decoding is very smooth


4K video Tokyo Olympics promotional video, decoding speed is very fast.


4K video demonstration, HEVC panel, no problem with decoding, the screen is also very clear, the color looks very comfortable.


The Captain America of 1080P video, the 2K to 4K technology of the Little Whale TV is also quite good, and the Falcon's face details are good after interpolation compensation.


1080P video ring Pacific, H.264 encoding, clear and full picture, and other subtitles function is also very good, although the setting is not much but the effect is good.


1080P animation, 10bit H.264 encoding and decoding is normal, but can not display ASS subtitles, hoping to improve through future upgrades.
It is worth mentioning that the performance of the micro-whale TV is very good, and it is much stronger than the other Internet TVs that were evaluated before. If the difference between two TVs is different, it is like the difference between USB speakers and PC speakers. The effect is very good when you look at a hot movie. The bass is powerful but not very sturdy enough to handle the need. If the ranking is based on the sound effects of Internet TV under 10,000 yuan, the self-contained sound effects of the small whale TV will definitely rank in the top three. In addition, this device can actually be used as a plug-in for the Soudbar through various interfaces. However, I believe it has been heard. People with local sound effects may dispel the idea of ​​buying a Soudbar worth a thousand dollars or less, because it is enough.

Write last

The emergence of modular technology makes electronic products no longer have a high threshold, just like the memory can do solid-state hard drive, now the production difficulty of smart TV has been greatly reduced, through the modular installation can be quickly and efficiently Produce a TV with good performance.

The advantages of Internet TV are rich video resources and network applications. From this perspective, micro-whale TVs do have very rich video resources. At the same time, they support the installation of various kinds of APPs to expand the original video experience that is extremely advantageous. In terms of applicability, micro-whale TVs can still install a variety of common apps from USB drives or even mobile hard drives, and the self-contained app store is basically enough.
On the screen, although there is no high-profile announcement that the micro-whale television has announced a very hot technology such as the wide color gamut, its color performance is still worthy of attention. In addition to decoding a small number of non-standard 10bit and 120 frames of 4K video, the basic decoding can be successfully decoded. Of course, the subtitle function needs to be improved, and it is hoped that it can join the common external subtitle formats such as ASS/SSA.
There are audio screens, decoding and rich video resources. With a good operating experience and first-rate design, Microwhale’s first TV is basically complete. This is for a new company that has been established less than half a year ago. It is not easy. We have seen the understanding of the products and user needs of micro-whales, and we have seen the ultra-fast market response rate as an Internet company. For a 55-inch TV with a service fee of 3799+398 for two years, what I want to say here is one word: value.
