Millet TV Experience Evaluation-47 inch full HD 3D display, interface level clear and easy to start

Millet before the invitation letter prompted by the Sky Sword and Dragon Knife, leaning on the Sky Sword is just published in the Millet mobile phone 3. And the Dragon Sword, you may have guessed, is the millet TV. It has 47-inch full HD screen, narrow border design, panel from LG and Samsung, and can support 3D ...

Millet TV at first glance, almost all attention is attracted by the narrow border, official data said the border is only 8.4 millimeters, Lei vowed to allow everyone to verify the authenticity of the data. Due to limited on-site trial conditions, we are not able to measure through the instrument, but the border is narrow to the finger is an indisputable fact.

TV front panel uses aluminum metal material, anodic oxidation sandblasting process, can be said to feel very similar to HTC one. At present there are five colors, in addition to the relatively low-key metal silver, the rest of the color is quite challenging the eye, as the main television for young people, such color may have some appeal.

The millet TV by Weft Chong Generation, the factory also for Sony TV production line, and this is lei publicity for the quality assurance. However, from the scene experience, the engineering version of Millet TV is not perfect, the bottom of the screen and the metal border joints are too large, suddenly wide and narrow, you can easily plug into the fingernails, fitting degree to be improved.

The MI LOGO in the center of the screen is not only a brand nameplate, but also a TV switch. The use of touch-type design, hidden white backlight breathing light, in the switch machine will obviously feel the rhythm changes.

TV frame heating relative to other parts of the more obvious, after consulting the on-site staff also confirmed that the Millet TV four-week side-type light-emitting, that is, the light source is located in the machine four weeks, to the center injection. Compared to the straight bottom (backlight in the entire screen evenly distributed below), although the side of the body can better control the volume, but the picture brightness is not uniform, easy to produce "X" shape attenuation.

The 47-inch LCD panel of the millet TV is supplied by two manufacturers: LG and Samsung, Lei believes that "buy TV is to buy a screen", so he has full confidence in these two screens, but also shows the screen for the importance of television. One LG using IPS technology TFT screen, and Samsung is SVA screen, both have a decent visual angle, it is difficult to distinguish through the naked eye.

Lei the "top" label on the Millet TV at the press conference, but it is slightly biased to understand only the high configuration hardware. After simply playing with the remote control, I think the system interface of Millet TV is the most simple and clear and the most easy to use product in the present intelligent TV.

And this is actually from the remote control can also be seen, 11-key remote for most people to learn the cost is very low. Compared to the early "more complex and high-end" remote control concept, now millet successfully done subtraction. Ring Four direction ring can be said to be from the Millet box remote control evolved, but see the ring always feel that this is a touch-controlled ring disk, the operation should be like the IPod Classic, but it is clearly not the case.

If the success of Millet mobile phone due to the popularity of MIUI, then Millet TV is not just hardware "one leg" walk. This set of MIUI TV, can be said that the Millet box interface upgrade version, and according to the field staff said the Millet box in the future may also use the MIUI TV interface.

MIUI TV interface level is very clear, card-type one-level menu, divided into TV, online film, Game Center, Application mall and so on. And after each card into the two-level menu design layout is also very regular, so that brings a benefit, you will find as long as you click on any one will not be unfamiliar, will not bring additional learning costs.

Millet previously and CNTV's future television to reach a cooperation, and will be in three years in the Internet television comprehensive cooperation, so the millet TV "online film" content provider is also the future of television.

All of this explains the "smart" aspect of millet TV, but as a TV, it can be said that "watching TV" still has quite a good experience. With the remote control up and down, the channel name will be displayed on the left side of the screen. Press the right button, the "TV wall" feature will be presented, three rows of four columns showing the current static screen of 12 channels, to help users better choose the channel based on the content.

At present, most Beijing families adopt the song Hua cable set-top box, so when the millet TV into the "TV" card, it will completely jump to the song Hua's system, although the song Hua has improved the interface for many times, ease of use, but slow change, slow information loading is still difficult to accept.

Based on these problems, millet in the introduction of Millet TV, but also launched a set-top box accessories, fully support the Song China Cable, and compatible with more than 85% of the national television service providers. Using it to replace the bulky set-top box in the home, not only save space, the most important thing is that it can better make the millet TV function.

This set-top box supports HD, and the interface is relatively simple, with only one TV input and one Micro USB output, which is connected to the USB interface of the TV by connecting wire. As for why it is not the same as a set-top box directly through the HDMI output, because it is only responsible for the disturbance is not responsible for decoding, decoding the work to the television. The so-called solution is because the analog radio frequency signal will be first scrambling, and then need to solve the disturbance through the spoiler can watch the program, popular is the process of encryption and decryption.

To sum up, millet this small set-top box advantage has the following points:

1, to get rid of the song Hua cable system interface;

2, Millet TV remote control can be directly controlled set-top box

3, switch station faster, one second change station

4, can download the program list in real time through the internet

Finally, I would like to say a little bit, the local HD player of Millet TV, can play the video file of U disk directly, support RM, RMVB, FLV, MOV, AVI, MKV, TS, MP4 etc. format, of course this is not what fresh function. However, because of the introduction of the subtitle engine, the millet TV can automatically match the subtitles via the internet instead of manual search and download.

From the whole experience process, the flow of millet TV is completely satisfactory, compared with the previous test of some of the smart TV has a significant difference. The Millet TV carries the Gaotong 6,004 nuclear processor, the frequency reaches 1.7GHz, this also with the Millet handset 2S is consistent, but constructs the Adreno 320 graphics processor, renders 200 million triangles per second, fills 3.2 billion pixel points, can well let the television run the large 3D game (may connect the wireless handle via the Bluetooth) and smoothly play 1080p Full HD video.

From the brief trial process, the millet TV more attracted me is not "top" hardware, but more direct MIUI TV interactive interface, minimalist style can help any user easy to use, menu level clear, logical and reasonable. However, if you want to feel the best experience, millet set-top box accessories also need to be optional, otherwise you are watching the TV program is still the set and ordinary TV completely no difference of the song China System.

Finally, the millet TV price of 2,999 yuan. September 16, the launch of the engineering machine, is expected to be listed in October.
