With the advancement of technology, the size of televisions launched by various manufacturers is also increasing, but from the consumer's point of view, in actual use, the TV size is not as large as possible, 55 inches has been fully able to meet their needs for the living room TV Demand, so almost all manufacturers have chosen this mainstream size when entering the television field.
So when the 55-inch market is hot, what size TV can be favored by consumers? The answer is 42/43 inches. According to Ovid Consulting's related color TV report, 55-inch TV products were expected to account for 27% of the sales during the double-nine period, while the next-best was 42/43 inches, accounting for 16.3%.
Microwhale launched a series of 55-inch and 43-inch products after its entry into the television industry. Compared to other Internet and traditional manufacturers, the background of micro-whale TVs with the background of broadcasting and television, powerful content producers, and Internet giants is even more profound. How is this "interesting" Internet TV born? Xiaobian will bring you a review. 
Handling sensitive details needs to be improved 
Smooth UI simplifies better 
The application interface is mainly divided into three parts: the application store, my application, and local playback. Into the application store we will find that the number is still relatively abundant, in addition to common life applications, similar to other mainstream television, the game is basically based on leisure and child-raising.
In the actual experience, each interface is very smooth when switching, and it is also very easy to use. However, in use, the three modules of “My TVâ€, “Best Recommendedâ€, and “Category†are slightly complicated and duplicate in content, especially the wonderful recommendation part, which contains a little more content and is not convenient when selected. Can be streamlined properly, experience should be better.
Outstanding picture quality video resources 
The licensee of Micro-Whale TV is GITV, the system partner is Ali, and the content is mainly cooperated with Tencent. At the same time, it also joins the variety of Mango TV and the flagship film of CMC, Oriental DreamWorks, IMAX China, etc. The content of the film agency. 
When on-demand online video appears, the details page shown in the figure above will appear. You can add favorites, view related materials, watercress score, and recommend similar videos. The content is very complete. At the same time, since the two-year video member was given at the time of purchase, all the videos on the Micro Whale TV can be freely ordered. 
When you watch online video specifically, you can choose different resolutions. The author in the choice of ultra-clear mode, the overall playback is smooth, high-speed picture is almost no tailing, while the picture is clear, clear colors; fast forward will buffer 2 seconds or so, the overall experience is not bad, of course, this is also with individuals The network situation is relevant.
Since it is a 4K TV, we have chosen to play a 4K source and a picture locally to perform simple tests on its picture quality. After all, online video playback in everyday use is its conventional way of use. 
In the 4K video test, the small whale TV reads quickly, plays smoothly, the picture transitions smoothly, the black and white is clear, the color reproduction is real, and the contrast and expressiveness are moderate. 
In the 4K image test, due to the large number of pictures and the high resolution, the reading and switching are slightly sluggish. However, the actual display effect is not bad, the color is structured and the performance is real. 
In another 4K image, the hair and skin color of humans and animals are very delicate and detailed, which can reflect the high-resolution and contrast of the micro-whale TV as well as the details of the performance. 
Actual on-demand 4K video is also relatively smooth, the overall picture is also good. At the same time, we discovered during the entire on-demand process that most of the video resources came from Tencent, and a few of them were marked with other sources. It is no exaggeration to say that the micro-whale TV almost brought up the entire content-rich Tencent video to the TV. With the addition of other content resources, the micro-whale TV really has an advantage in content.
Summary: Rich video resources are their biggest advantages
Through our evaluation, we must have a more comprehensive understanding of the micro-whale TV. In general, its biggest feature and advantage is its abundant video resources. In addition to deep cooperation with resource-rich Tencent, CMC's and other resources are also gradually updated. In the future, it may be possible to join Ali after the integration of Youku. video. Appearance and systems are relatively neutral and reach the mainstream level.
Of course, there are also deficiencies, mainly in terms of interaction. The remote controller is slightly heavy and the buttons are hard to make users fatigue. The main interface is slightly cumbersome in terms of content and needs improvement.
However, if you are inclined to order video resources on TV, micro-whale TV may be a good choice. 
Finally, review the hardware configuration. The 43-inch version is basically the same as the 55-inch version. Both are equipped with a Cortex-A53 quad-core CPU, Mail-450 MP4 (4+2 core) GPU and 8GB ROM at a frequency of 1.4GHz. The 4K original LG IPS hard screen with a resolution of differs in RAM, with a small size of 1.5GB and a large size of 2GB. As a whole, the configuration is in the upper mainstream, combining the selling prices of 2098 yuan and 4197 yuan, or it is very cost-effective.
Microwhale TV Review: Video Resources Rich Interaction Still Needs to Improve
Microwhale TVs currently come in two sizes. One is a 55-inch product that positions the living room. The newly released 43-inch TV is more oriented as a bedroom/study TV. Both in the overall appearance of a simple and low-key, on a pulse heritage, have adopted a narrow frame, brushed texture and lightweight design process, without the base 55 inches weighing about 20.2kg, 43 inches is 11.1kg, basically a person Can handle, this is also easy to hang.
There are differences in the details. Although both use a pair of herringbone bases with a metallic luster, the 55-inch version has a polished base, while the 43-inch version uses a golden nano-spraying process. It also echoes the borders of the two: the 55-inch version of the bottom frame is black overall, while the 43-inch version uses nano-spraying technology similar to its base.
Although 55 inches are larger in size than 43 inches, they are the opposite in thickness. Smaller ones appear to be slightly thicker, and yes, they are actually the thinnest in thickness. They are 15.2mm and 17.6mm, respectively. The 43-inch version is thicker, which may be related to the layout of its interior space. At the same time, we can also see that the large-scale version is more sophisticated in detail, with a Phnom Penh treatment at the edge.
The two are basically the same in the interface. They all have two TV TV inputs, AV input, audio output, Ethernet interface, optical output SPDIF, and HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.0 respectively. The difference is that the 55-inch version will have one more SD. Card slot, one HDMI 2.0 connector and one USB 2.0 connector. The key parts are also located in the lower right corner of the TV back panel. Both of the key parts adopt a similar rocker design. Toggle up and down and left and right, press to confirm; in contrast, the large size is more sensitive and small in control. Size buttons have better feedback.
In the remote control part, the two are consistent and can be used universally. They are all 12 keys and have the same delicate black body. They are very mellow and feel comfortable. The main advantage of the remote control on the communication module is Bluetooth 4.0, which brings the advantage of a long stable connection, without having to face the TV, and the angle is relatively free.
In practical use, the voice recognition part of the remote controller is also very easy to use. It is more sensitive when searching for weather and programs, and it is also more accurate under normal noise conditions; however, it sometimes plays directly when searching for a program instead of giving confirmation or The selected interface will give the user a bad experience when the result is inaccurate. At the same time, the remote controller is slightly heavier than other smart TVs. The middle direction key and confirmation key are also relatively rigid, and it will be more prone to fatigue when used for a long time. These are aspects that need to be improved in interaction.
The system of the micro-whale TV is customized based on the 64-bit YunOS operating system. The main interface adopts a vertical navigation bar layout, which is clear at a glance and easy to use. It is in line with the user's operating habits.
In the main interface, besides watching history and collecting dramas, it also has humanized personality settings. At the same time, it can also fix frequently used functions, such as movies, TV dramas, music, etc. on the main interface to facilitate daily selection and use. .
The wonderful recommendation section gives a variety of news, video and application recommendations, which are very rich in content; and the classification section is based on various types of movies, television shows, variety shows, music and other programs.
In the actual experience, we found that the micro-whale TV has very rich resources in terms of movies, TV dramas, documentaries, etc. Basically, there are on-demand movies and movies that are just being filmed on the hospital. The speed is also very fast.
