The text of the article
The 43-inch micro-whale adopts a slim and lightweight body design with a size of 961mm556mm. It uses side-entry LED backlight technology, which was independently developed by Microwhale. Its net weight (including base) is about 10.8kg. It is a "movable" smart TV.
Its resolution is up to 1080p (1920x1080 full HD). For 43-inch micro whale, the pixels can't be discerned by the naked eye. At the same time also used RGB VA screen, the screen ratio of 16:9, a contrast of 4000:1, the brightness is 330cd/m2, the number of colors up to 10bit color, support H.265 decoding, found in the actual test, brightness Up to 250 nits. It can be said that not only is the viewing program clear, but also the color performance is stronger. In addition, it has an ultra-wide viewing angle of 178 degrees and an ultra-fast response speed of 8ms. It has a sense of reality in the actual viewing process and is as if it were immersive.
On this screen, the small whale is a kung fu, built a new generation of ultra-high-definition quality engine, through the brightness sharpening enhancement, color sharpening enhancement, bright color separation enhancement, blue level expansion, extended resolution scaling and more Up to 22 enhanced technologies can make the details of the entire TV screen clear and sharp, the edge is more smooth, of course, in color is also close to the natural.
Speaking of a 178-degree ultra-wide viewing angle can also be viewed as an extreme angle. In real life, it is difficult for us to watch TV from this perspective. Most people will still choose a more comfortable angle. In order to have an intuitive feeling, I deliberately shot from different angles on the side. From the picture below, we can see that even if the angle is bigger, we can still see the entire screen. It can be said that the screen of the micro whale is still worthy of recognition.
Its idea is that you can play music in screensaver mode.
Micro whale accessories
From the accessories point of view is not particularly large, but full of humanity. There are two brackets, audio adapter cable, TV power cord, infrared remote control, product manual, five hexagonal black screws and wrenches, and two 7-cell batteries. This seems like an inconspicuous wrench and battery, but it allows users to use the first time.
The remote control is infrared, its appearance is black, there is a certain degree of matte touch, the use of 12 buttons, printed at the bottom of the "micro whale" icon and English letters, the overall design quite satisfactory and ergonomic, after use habits Blind operation can be achieved. As the TV uses 802.11n 22 dual-band dual antenna and Bluetooth 4.0 low-power module, while supporting voice search and voice control functions, so in actual use, in addition to receiving signals stronger, you can also choose Bluetooth voice remote control, To achieve "empty propaganda," which put aside the traditional manual mode of operation.
Although there are five screws included in the accessories, only two are required for each bracket, and the extra one can be used as a spare screw. The entire stent is only 0.2 kilograms. The use of medical-grade high standard materials combined with secondary molding technology makes the entire stent not only strong and lightweight, so it is not necessary to worry about the support ability of the stent in actual use.
As shown in the figure below, the L (left) and R (right) letters are printed on one side of the stand. The shape is herringbone. You can use it to connect to the TV when prompted. In the actual installation process, the most convenient method of identification is that the corresponding socket can be placed in. If the bracket is not installed on the contrary, the length of the entire bracket is approximately 19 cm.
After the bracket is inserted into the TV socket, it is fixed with screws from the back of the TV. It can be tightened with the Allen key in the attachment.
There is a black non-slip silicone pad on each side of the bottom of the stand. One of the characteristics of this TV is that it is more convenient in practical use, mainly because all its function keys and interfaces are concentrated on one side of the TV. From the figure below, it is easy to see that the five physical buttons and the switches of the TV are all more concentrated. There is an LED power switch indicator on the other side of the bracket.
The actual effect of the stent.
The front and the back of the stand are better than the figure.
The difference between the front and the ultra-narrow plastic frame is that the bottom frame is made of metal, and it is the only area of ​​the front face (excluding the bracket) of the entire TV. The embellishment makes this a black, calm screen immediately. Lively up. In the middle of the metal frame, the word WHALEY is printed. For the words, I personally feel that laser engraving into whales may be more expressive to the user.
The surface of the frame is embossed with a high-gloss effect, using high-gloss and fine brushed textures to make the overall look not only brighter, but also have a strong texture. Most importantly, in the case of a black screen, it is more like an overall frameless The screen is generally. Compared to the previous 40-inch screen, the 43-inch screen area only increased by less than 5%, but because the W43F uses a narrower border, it can increase the actual screen display by 15.6%. In other words, the same 43-inch TV, the screen display of the micro whale can be larger.
The thickness of the frame at the top of the screen is less than the diameter of a dime coin. The process differs from the front face frame. The effect of brushing on the entire surface appears to be a metallic texture, and a matte feel when touched. It can be considered that the micro whale is still in place in the details of the process.
At the bottom of the TV, in the middle of the brackets on both sides, there are two rows of barrier-type cooling holes, which can effectively ensure that the body can dissipate heat in time during actual operation.
The overall effect of the "micro whale" on the back shows. Compared to the slimness at the top, the bottom is more substantial and plump, mainly due to built-in stereo box speakers, HiFi quality, full-range speaker with two patented passively-compressed bass boost technology, and two The tweeter of the second-generation high-end treble horn technology can be said to have such a TV, without the need to purchase an external audio system, and at home, it can also enjoy superior music quality. In the actual test, it was found that the effect of the sound is louder than that of ordinary TV sounds, and the sound volume is normally open to 4-5, which is also large enough. At the same time, the sound quality is also more profound, and the three-dimensional feel is stronger. In the case of large volume, there is no The phenomenon of breaking sound occurs.
It's not hard to find from the back, this TV can be located in the way of the bracket, it can also be fixed on the wall. In the middle of the fuselage, the eagle carved the "whale" logo, surrounded by screws, to facilitate the anchorage on the wall. Through dustless nano-spraying, although the backboard is plastic, it also has a metallic texture. In addition to the vent holes on the bottom of the TV, the upper part of the back is also covered with a large number of barrier-type cooling holes.
Close-up of the panel and cooling holes (integral injection molding process with curved edge).
The function and interface design of this W43F is more concentrated and it is more convenient in practical operation. From the back, all function buttons and connectors are on the lower right side. The only power button that is not visible is on the bottom of the TV just below the power connector. In the configuration also uses Cortex A53 dual-core 1.4GHz CPU and ARM Mali-450 MP2 (2+2 core) GPU; 1G DDR3 dual channel memory and 8G eMMC 5.0 storage space
For different TV power interfaces, the location is also very different, the micro whale put the interface in the lower right corner of the back, this is very convenient for the first time the TV is connected, the entire TV Standby power is only 0.5W.
There is a white label on the back of the whale in the middle of the back panel, which shows the model of the TV, power supply, and manufacturer.
The interface is not compressed because of the small size of the TV, including USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI 1.4 interface, HDMI 2.0 interface, WAN cable port, SPDIF interface, TV/AV input, audio interface, from the interface point of view, It is also very rich.
On physical buttons, the microwhales replace the conventional buttons of a conventional TV with five-way physical buttons, and can also be used for one-handed busy operation. Therefore, it is relatively quick and simple to use.
The power supply supports 220V/50Hz voltage. In the plug design, it is also one of the personalized designs of the micro-whale. The 90-degree angle design between the power connector and the power cable can reasonably solve the connection with the wall switch. Problems can also be avoided when the wall is forced to bend the contact between the power cord and the wall. At the same time, there is a snap in the power line position of the TV backplane interface, which can be used to store excess lines for hidden line processing.
The power switch is not placed on the back, but is set on the bottom of the TV. Its main advantage is that the TV can be turned on/off from the front. The switch took a left-right press and used a white dot to indicate if the TV was on.
In order to further present the color reproduction power of the micro whale, I used two screens of silk and yarn to test. From the screen, we can see that the color of the W43F is soft, especially for the different shades of the same color system. The colors are also very well differentiated. The texture of the lines on the spools is also clearly visible. There are no color deviations in the bonded areas between the yarns and the silk, nor are there any serious color casts. In general, there is no color cast. It is still very good for the ability of color reproduction.
In the performance of the characters, especially the transition of the girl's hair and the collar of the characters, the transition of the character is very natural. Of course, the color of the character is also very real. It can be seen that the depiction on the screen is very delicate and the saturation is relatively high. High, especially for the more complex places on the screen can also show the details, in the same price of smart TV can be calculated on the upper level, not only its high value.
In the color detection of the screen, at least there is no light leakage phenomenon, and the overall color is very even, in the transition of the color is also very smooth and delicate; but for grayscale performance, the number 1-2 The boundaries are still slightly blurred, but the other parts are still legible, and in actual tests, the results are quite consistent with the official information.
In the high-speed dynamic picture and sharpness performance, the vehicle's high-speed driving has not yet found any scenes of smearing and blurring. It should be said that W43F's dynamic performance can be regarded as a higher level in the peer products, and the overall performance. Still quite good.
Compared to the H.264 decoding mode, since it supports H.265 decoding capability, it can cover more than 20 kinds of popular formats such as AVI, FLV/F4V, ASF, MP4, MKV, and MOV at the time of viewing. It is also inseparable from the software and hardware configuration of the micro whale, and it can save nearly 50% of the bandwidth when it is actually used. It can do more things under limited network conditions.
Unique system
The micro-whale adopts the Whaley UI system based on Android L's deep customization, plus the Internet TV that was designated only by China's Good Songs in 2016, so it is richer and more complete in content than before. The entire interface adopts a flat waterfall flow design, which is more simple and intuitive to use. It is divided into six sources: the signal source, my TV, wonderful recommendation, classification, application and setting.
As mentioned in the features listed above, the WUI setting is user-friendly. Its main performance lies not only in the arbitrary installation of third-party software, but also in the set of shortcuts in my TV list, you can put your most commonly used software Class or program category is placed in it, can quickly achieve a one-touch direct features, it can be said to understand your UI.
For smart TVs, hardware is not all about TV. Rich and high-quality resources are the life of Internet TV. Among the film sources, the micro-whale not only collected a large amount of fine content, but in particular, there are also movie theaters that exceeded 1 billion in 2015. At the same time, it also has the capability of a content production platform. With more than 8,500 movie resources, it also has the ability to update more than 1,000+ movies each year. TOP10 hot variety shows, Super League, Champions League matches, and Zhou Zhou have online. At the concert, I had to be amazed that the micro whale has taken the lead in content.
In addition to the relatively high configuration of the micro-whale on the hardware, the software also provided an additional one-year membership. In the current creation of Internet TV resources and membership services, it can be said that the whale 199 member is still quite sincere. It is worth mentioning that WUI's children's channel is also very unique. It also categorizes the content according to age, providing more suitable content for different stages of the baby. And this 43-inch TV is placed in the bedroom and can be The baby offers a rich bedtime story and bedtime animation. It is reported that in the near future on the 8th of the whales of the whale, a cat shop will have more activities to discount, so it seems that the micro whale's large force will continue.
The reason why it is to understand your UI is that you can feel free to find some programs that everyone is watching. If you are not satisfied with the programs, you can change them randomly. At the same time, you can quickly and randomly find your favorite film source through the latest list, hot list, star list and other targeted fast, of course, you can also put your favorite programs into the collection list, the first time to watch.
In the application section, micro-whales have added application stores, built-in rich audio and video software, daily life software, and game software. It can be said to be quite rich, and third-party software can also be implemented through third-party storage media such as USB flash drives. Download, very convenient.
There are good hardware and display effects, of course, with a rich content resources, the combination of software and hardware can play the greatest value of a TV. In terms of content, it is recommended to install a sofa butler - the sofa butler is a third-party app store designed specifically for smart TVs, Android box users, carefully providing television, box users with high-quality television exclusive version of the application, including with live Or on-demand video and audio and video software, various types of recreational competitive video game software and daily office entertainment management system management tools.

The nature of sex. Although the start of the micro whale is relatively late, it is relatively mature in technology. Its appearance is simple and stylish, and its configuration is powerful. The rich source of the film and the UI of waterfall flow should be said to be a smart TV with higher cost performance, especially for the upcoming arrival.
