As an emerging brand of 4K TVs, micro-whales released 55-inch 4K smart TVs last year. They have successively launched the “small steel cannon†WTV43K1 and “Assassin†W50J. In March this year, they released the 55-inch Pro, which is already facing Internet home layout. Today we come to experience this new product of the Micro Whale W50J. Its highlight is the ultra-thin all-metal body, and the true 4K RGB hard screen will meet our expectations.
Product review
Microwhal Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established in Shanghai in April 2015. Its chief artistic consultant is the familiar singer Li Jian. The first generation of micro-whale products is Internet TV. Its product features are characterized by "mass content", "exquisite craftsmanship", "super audio and video", "smooth experience" and "comprehensive service", as well as high cost performance. The market has a greater competitive advantage.
Here we first understand the configuration parameters of the next W50J: W50J, all-metal body, using MStar 6A828 processor, support 4K/60fps H.265 hardware decoding and DTMB digital TV format, Android 5.0 operating system and WUI custom interface, support double Frequency Dual Antenna 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1+EDR. The screen uses RGB three-color true 4K VA panel with a resolution of 3840×2160. Built-in two stereo speakers, rated power 10W. The interface provides three HDMI 2.0, two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, and a Fast Ethernet.
Compared with the previous generation WTV43K1, in addition to the size of the micro whale W50J, in the design of the use of a full metal material, the screen selects a true 4K RGB hard screen, RAM has reached 2G operating memory, in the configuration should be In the high-end, not lose the same price products in the market.
Design and details
There are more bedding in the front, out of the box, directly on the physical map. The 50-inch TV, although with a narrow frame, feels right in the living room, because its best viewing distance is 4-5 meters, and the average family's living room conditions are such a distance.
The whale W50J's bracket shape has not changed. The material is made of all-metal material and has a die-casting sandblast paint treatment. The heavy weight is enough to support the thin and light body. The entire TV arrives at home and can be completely assembled by itself. The assembly is to fix the two brackets according to the determined position.
The bracket is more slender than the look, the center of gravity is stable, and it is easy to place or move. I like the way of desktop support. Some students like to fix the wall, and the manufacturers also provide the wall support bracket. The door can help you to install it, but it needs to be charged separately. .
The intriguing design of the accessory box, the two triangular prisms work together to form a rectangular parallelepiped. The interior is recessed and the fittings are embedded. In fact, there are few accessories. In addition to the remote control, the manual, power cord, and two batteries are included. My feeling is that the manual is not really used, the power cord is very soft, and the plug is very small.
The remote control is also very compact, and the grip is also very familiar. The 12-key body is scientific and reasonable. The most commonly used OK and return keys are in the center of the lower middle. The mother finger touches nothing, unlike some products. The remote control return button is actually in the upper position, and the female finger cannot reach directly. In fact, the biggest highlight of the Micro Whale Remote Control is its voice control function, which is the right upper voice key.
The whale W50J has adopted the all-black color scheme. Both the metal frame and the pedestal have been applied with black. This is also a restoration of the true colors. It changed the champagne color of the previous generation product, the black color is more elegant and elegant, and the black narrow border looks even thinner.
The contrast between the 43-inch and 50-inch borders is that although the size of the Whale W50J is large, the frame is not increased, and the bottom is even narrower, and the utilization of space is even greater.
All-metal ultra-thin frame, only 9.1mm, which is half the diameter of a coin. In terms of materials, it is said that the 7000 series aluminum alloy materials used on the space shuttle and rockets are solid and straight. From the side, abandoned the rigid right angle, using a 45 ° drilling process, a smooth oblique angle transition, shiny metal.
The power button is also moved to the right side, which is more convenient to operate. Because the position is at the bottom, it is easy to distinguish. The previous generation product is set at the bottom, and it is often necessary to grope for a while.
The bottom of the border is engraved with a small whale LOGO, the border is narrower than the 43-inch, the metal frame without any modification, but it is more fashionable atmosphere.
The backboard is one-piece, the same all-metal material, is also rare in the TV, so do not worry about heat dissipation, so remove the grille of the previous generation of products. Except for the projection of the lower piece, the entire back plate is a flat piece without any interface or parts.
The whole piece of metal back plate is a drawing process, although it is usually not easy to pay attention to, but it is also very aesthetic and texture.
The middle position of the backplane is the big LOGO of the whale, and the product nameplate is also listed below. From the above, it is seen that the power is 120W, which is slightly higher than that of the 43-inch TV.
The lower right corner of the back panel continues the convention of the micro-whale product: the five-way key can be used instead of the remote control, and the design is also convenient to touch at the corners. When no remote control can be found, it can be used for emergency operations.
The socket of the backplane is hidden. All the interfaces are concentrated in the L-shaped slot on the right. The horizontal arrangement is: SPDIF, network interface, AV input, 2 HDMI, UART, wireless input interface, and the basic products of the previous generation. The same, only one more HDMI interface, the device access is more abundant.
The vertical side is the audio output, HDMI, two USB3.0 interface, SD card slot, USB2.0 interface, SD card and USB port more than the previous generation, the interface is more abundant, the application is more convenient. These are commonly used interfaces and are easily inserted at the side. The design of the interface has been improved. It is more humane. The interface of the previous generation product is recessed and it is not easy to be plugged in. Now it is unstoppable.
From the above, we have a preliminary impression of the appearance of this small whale W50J TV, that is: simple fashion, metal material, ultra-thin frame, rich interface.
Features a remote control experience
As we mentioned before, the remote control of the micro whale is a minimalist key design. It has a sleek shape, a comfortable grip, and a soft key.
This is a Bluetooth remote control, which can avoid the perspective of the infrared remote control and obstructions, and can be controlled at any angle in the room.
The focus here is on its highlights, the remote control's voice control function, press and hold the voice key to talk, the system will automatically search for the required video, but also voice commands to play or forward and backward, the voice recognition capability is still very strong, as long as the Mandarin Standards are generally recognized correctly.
In addition to the physical remote control, the Micro Whale also develops a dedicated remote control app that can be directly controlled by a mobile phone, which is what many smart devices are now doing. I have always been not optimistic about mobile phone remote control smart devices, because too cumbersome, but also need to connect to the same WiFi, holding the phone control is not as direct and comfortable as the remote control. However, this app for the micro-whale is still more practical. For example, the screen capture function can be realized without the aid of outside tools.
Similar to the sofa butler and the like, applications can be directly installed to the TV through the APP. The local application package of our mobile phone can be installed. The screen-casting function is also very practical, and the photos taken by our mobile phones are directly delivered to the TVs without the need for tedious export and import, which are also not available to other TVs.
YUNOS system experience
The micro-whale developed its own YUNOS system based on the Android system. The dedicated TV system can provide deeper services. Continuing the consistent style of the microwhale UI, the columns are divided into signal sources, my TV, wonderful recommendations, classifications and applications, according to the frequency of use and the need for scientific classification, you can quickly find your own needs.
The whale YUNOS's home page uses a waterfall flow design, which is scrolling up and down. It is different from using more horizontal scrolling. It is generally used to switching between left and right. It is not used to the first time, but is familiar with the WeChat microblog mode. It should be able to adapt quickly. The layout of the page uses the Win8 tile style design. The block size is divided by the hotspots and importance of the columns. It is easier to find visually. Users of the Micro Whale W50J TV can refer to the tutorial: Installation of the Micro Whale W50J (four methods for you to choose) Install a sofa housekeeper to implement third-party application extensions.
The system of the Micro Whale itself is only pre-loaded with a small number of applications, leaving more space for everyone's discretion, and the streamlined system also brings faster and smoother speeds. It takes only 10 seconds to boot, compared to some. Internet TV turned up for a few minutes and performed very well. There is also a quick shutdown, which is directly related to seconds, which is very convenient for the acute child.
Automatically switching the signal source is a very user-friendly application. As long as it is connected to an external video source, such as a set-top box, it will immediately go to the set-top box's playback interface. It is not necessary to use manual remote control to switch. Smart TV needs to do so. . If it can be further optimized, which source is automatically switched on, or which application is automatically opened, it can be humanized. Now many elderly people do not use smart TVs. They feel troubled. If such functions can be realized, the applicable people will become more and more extensive.

They feel troubled. If such functions can be realized, the applicable people will become more and more extensive.
There are various scenarios for the microwhale television, including standard mode, movie mode, sport mode, and game mode. Each mode sets different brightness, sharpness, contrast, saturation, etc. to provide optimal comfort for various specific scenes. The viewing conditions, and when selecting a mode, is to observe the picture in real-time through a built-in animation, which is also a personalized service.
Microwhale TV has a great advantage in content provision. Its resources are based on Chinese culture, the central government, the Tencent, and other leading players. They possess Time Warner, Oriental DreamWorks, Star Media, TVB, and other content resources, and include a large number of quality products. Content brings us a rich visual feast. In today's Internet TV or smart projection competition, the hardware configuration is no longer too many thresholds, the next need to compete content is the content and services, content is king. After the publication of Radio 229, the platform with the advantages of licensing and content advantages will have more development prospects.
Speaking of genuine content, micro-whale TV itself contains a membership fee of 199 yuan a year for micro-whales, membership can be unfettered to watch genuine video, free to watch the latest hottest movies.
The built-in resource content of the micro-whale TV includes movies, TV dramas, variety shows, children, animations, operas, etc., which can meet the different needs of family members and save the inconvenience of installing third-party resources. Basically, the latest and hottest movies, TV shows, and variety shows can be seen in the first place. You don't need to go to the theater and enjoy home theater for the first time.
There are not many applications that come with the system. The system is open. Some games and applications that you need can be freely installed through the application store. However, there are not many contents in the app store. Don't forget that we have three USB ports, and installation through the U disk is more worry-free.
In local playback, a useful function has also been found. You can connect to a computer under the same WiFi and log in as a remote desktop connection. You can directly see the files on your computer. You can share the pictures on your computer without using any other services. Film and television, several G movies downloaded from a computer do not have to be copied by a USB flash drive, and direct playback is very convenient.
Performance characteristics and testing
Micro whale W50J uses LG original imported 4K screen, with a resolution of 38402160 and 8.29 million pixels, this time finally used the RGB true 4K VA panel, and 43 å‹ small steel guns use RGBW 4K LCD panel, can not Call it true 4K.
Through the 4K TV test chart, from the color performance of the screen, the color performance is saturated, rich sense of hierarchy, the edge smooth and smooth, from the spherical point of view, the 21st order of gray can easily be identified, the color transition on the gradient map More gentle.
In the restoration of tone levels, the gray scales are basically legible, and there are no jumping and binning phenomena. It is only in the darkest areas that there is a slight degree of parallelism. This is an acceptable range.
In the 4K TV resolution test chart, from the actual display effect of the details, the line boundary and color meet the requirements, the color block structure in 4K is clear and precise, and the minimum letter is clearly and identifiable in the text requirements, but the Chinese characters are There are more strokes and some blurs. As a whole, the micro-whale W50J has a higher level of clarity than the WTV43K1.
Play effect measured
We still need to use the actual viewing experience for the playback of television. We do not run points, but only look at the actual results. We look at the big picture in HD and let everyone use their eyes to make judgments.
First compare the display effect of the Micro Whale W50J and WTV43K1. Both are new machines. The same picture and the same environment. We can see from the details that the Micro Whale W50J is slightly superior in brightness, color and level.
The micro whale screen has an ultra-wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, and is also accessible from the side. The micro whale adopts a variety of processing technologies to make the picture quality fidelity.
The sharpness of the Micro Whale W50J has been tested on the test chart above. From this brain perspective X-ray film, it is more convincing and the small text is very clear.
Although influenced by the environment and the camera, from the perspective of this group of pictures, the color reproduction is ideal. The color of the picture is distinct, the transition is natural, the details are delicate, and there is no graininess even at a short distance.
The micro whale's outstanding decoding ability can smoothly play H.265-encoded 4K film sources and 1080P videos. Using different high-definition video tests, the decoding is normal and plays smoothly. The above is a group of 4K test videos. The classic “Beijing Roast Duck and Beauty†must be familiar to everyone. From the above, it can be seen that both the picture of the character and the details of various props are very clear, and the overall picture is quite good.
The micro whale W50J is equipped with a 64-bit Mstar 6A828 Cortex A53 CPU and a Mali450 GPU in its hardware configuration. It has 2GB of memory and 8GB of flash memory, which can satisfy the smooth running of the system. This is the actual playback effect of the movie. There is no pause or delay in the playback process. The playback is very smooth, the picture is clear, and the sense of hierarchy is also very strong. In the recent market, there are also many LED micro-projections. When it comes to the effect, especially during the day, it must be TV.
The performance of 4K TV in dynamic playback is also our concern. The Microwhale W50J TV is equipped with an MStar 6M60 independent image processing chip, and uses MEMC dynamic image compensation technology to basically eliminate the blurring and smearing of images under high-speed motion. Sports and game shows are sports interfaces. From the scenes of football, racing, and games, the screen appears natural, no smear appears, and no blurring appears on the edges.
Relax while listening to music in your free time. The micro whale provides music playback. There is music on the screensaver and it can also be played via the built-in shrimp music network. Small whale TV audio unit below the fuselage, the use of double-sided balanced bass boost and treble diffuser technology, support DOLBY / DTS audio double decoding, a large volume, the sound quality in the three-band performance is balanced, just on the bass Slightly inadequate. Of course, if you want to experience the sound of a shocking home theater, it is best to connect an external sound, after all, such a thin body can not have too much luxury.
Evaluation summary
The Micro Whale W50J TV has improved significantly in terms of workmanship, screen, and hardware compared to previous generations of products. In particular, the true 4K panel, ultra-thin bezel design, all-metal frame, and backplane make its quality and connotation The promotion, coupled with its rich video resources, excellent color rendering, attractive prices of more than 3,000 yuan, in the same price of the product in the market, a product with a very high cost performance, is the perfect product for those who wish to buy 4K HDTV. select.
