Internet TV swarms. Storm TV, Xiaomi TV and LeTV are among them. Which is better? Xiao Bian made a comprehensive comparison of the three cost-effective smart TV products to help users better understand the better choice!
On December 2, the long-rumored Storm TV series finally made its debut in Beijing. The brand name “Storm Super TVâ€, which is a brand new brand that broke the current status of the domestic smart TV market, undoubtedly focused on the eyes of too many people. In addition to the crowded conference site, it can be seen that the storm is well prepared. The highlight of the two-hour conference will be frequent. From “respecting the Internet TV with an awesome heart†to “rejuvenating youth†to the concept of Raptor TV, to the R&D process in every aspect, as well as to the applied technology and patents, it can be said that it is quite comprehensive. . However, for the contents of the press conference, we are always just watching through. I wonder if the storm is really as old as PPT. So Xiao Bian attended the in-depth product experience conference after the conference. This is an experience meeting that is only open to the media. The content is zero-distance exposure to the Superstorm TV and compares the predecessors of the smart TV industry: LeTV, Xiaomi TV. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the differences in product design and function display of Storm Super TV.
From left to right, participating products are: LeTV Super TV X55, Storm Super TV (55 inch), and Millet TV 3.
Exterior
Appearance of this kind of thing is very subjective, but Stormy TV does have objective capital. Compared with the other two products, the biggest difference in the design of Stormwind TV is that it uses all-metal to create a one-piece body, and in the color match with a unique fashion color - rose gold. On the back, the steel plate in-mold stamping process, which costs 5 times as much as the ordinary product, is used to achieve beauty and sturdiness. The most impressive thing is that the creativeness of the storm on the back of the TV achieves the embedded structure design. The whole machine can't see a screw.
The other two products were not bad in the positive handling, but were later sold on the back plate. Especially LeTV's back board is a bit rough compared.
The frame of the Superstorm TV adopts aluminum-magnesium alloy, 200-ton precision blanking and one-fold bending forming, which has been subjected to nine tedious and completely different processes such as CNC milling, drilling, polishing, drawing, and anodizing. The degree of integration. As far as the thickness of the fuselage is concerned, the Superstorm TV has not completely pursued the extreme, but adopted a more balanced design, which is still regarded as an ultra-narrow frame and is generally satisfactory.
The vocal part of Stormwind TV uses a one-piece rose gold sound bar and fuselage. Galvanized all-metal mesh design, all sound holes with a 20-degree angled layered structure, subtle and beautiful. Abandoning the design of other brand single horns with the sound field down or separating the vocal part from the fuselage, allowing the speakers to reintegrate back into the TV, this is a way to respect the user's most primitive perception of TV and is commendable.
Speaking of the base part, the base of the storm super TV adopts all-aluminum high-temperature melting and die-casting technology. It is worth mentioning that this part is entirely hand-polished, sandblasted, electroplated, which is undoubtedly huge for the cost, but only in this way can create a more detailed expression. Although Millet 3 also used a similar style of base design, but feel a slight gap in the degree of craftsmanship, and Le X55's cloud base, although unique, but due to the larger area, so the daily cleaning will be relatively troublesome, but said The truth is that Xiao Bian himself still likes this style.
The remote control of Stormwind TV is relatively compact, and the more visually conspicuous it is with the LeTV X55 standard remote control. The remote controller of the Superstorm TV incorporates ergonomic design in consideration of people's habits of grasping the remote controller, and is also relatively comfortable on the touch.
Storm Super TV adopts modularized host design. The TV and TV host are ingeniously separated. There is no need to disassemble or connect the TV. It is easy to upgrade by simply replacing TVkit (host part). Although millet 3 also adopted this type of solution at this point, the way in which the host and external audio are bundled up is still somewhat bizarre. In a comprehensive sense, it is more appropriate to use a combination of Stormwind TV and if it is possible to perform the appearance of TVkit. More personalized designs may be more attractive to consumers.
The Chi-Key behind the Storm Super TV is a creative design. The operating principle of Chi-Key is the same as that of the remote control, so as to achieve a more intuitive and simple operation.
Screen display effect
Having finished the appearance, it is necessary to talk about the most practical things. For a TV, the screen display is undoubtedly the most practical thing. All three televisions are IPS screens at 4K resolution (millet TV 3 is Samsung or LG). Superstorm TV uses industry-leading blue chip + RG high-gamut phosphor technology, plus RG phosphors on the basis of the original backlight. , The NTSC rate can be raised to more than 89% (usually about 85% of the product) the color is uniform and flawless, not too bright or too dark, and strive to maximize the natural scene color.
Experience the live demonstration of the same video clip with three televisions in the field. All devices are the default standard screen mode. In the brighter colors, Storm Super TV and Millet TV 3 have a better reproduction performance, clear gradation, natural color transition. In the red performance, the Storm Super TV is slightly stronger than the Xiaomi TV 3, and the redness displayed by the Superstorm TV is more full, showing lustfulness. In contrast, Le X55 is a bit weak, giving people a feeling of whitening.
Viewed from a large angle side, the screen of the Superstorm TV did not show a clear cast color, which is also the biggest advantage of IPS.
Sound performance
For TVs, there are very few manufacturers who work on the sound effects. After all, most people think that sounds are for television. However, with the popularity of smart TVs, more and more consumers have started to order their favorite music or music videos on TV. The demand for sound effects has also become an area where smart TV manufacturers have begun to get involved in improvement. Apart from the independent soundbar external sound of the Xiaomi TV 3, the Storm Super TV and the LeTV X55 adopt the traditional integrated design. Demonstration uses three televisions to perform multiple high-bit-rate MP3 format audio at the same time for comparison. Since it is through the human ear to distinguish, plus the difference between the sound field and the vocalization position, the conclusion reached is not nearly the same.
According to the author's intuitive experience, the integrated metal soundbar of the Storm Super TV was quite effective in the performance of human voice, and the sound was clear and bright. Especially with the dbx-tv feature turned on, the surround effect has taken another leap forward. Relatively speaking, the external independent soundbar performance of Xiaomi TV 3 is also considered satisfactory. LeTV X55 is slightly weak in the sound transparency performance.
UI (interaction design)
The advantages and disadvantages of the smart TV UI directly determine the user's experience. The original wind UI created by Stormwind TV is based on the user's most intuitive and natural knowledge. The 3D engine that originates from the laws of physics brings the ultimate smooth operation experience. Storm Super TV integrates the resources of GITV (Yinhe Yangguang)-based resource license providers and provides various kinds of film and animation resources.
In the details, the wind UI also joined many small surprises. For example, in the movie on-demand channel, users only need to move the cursor to the content they want to order. After a while, they will see the highlights of the video that will be played in the background, allowing the user to watch the trailer in the most intuitive way. Quickly understand the subject and content of the film, which has not been seen on any previous smart TV UI.
Hardware Configuration
When it comes to intelligence, it cannot fail to mention configuration. For a smart TV, configuration is not the most important factor, but the advantage of high configuration is more obvious in running applications and playing some high-definition local video files. Storm Super TV equipped with crystal morning Cotex-A9 quad-core 1.8GHz processing chip, Mali-450 eight-core GPU, support 4K hardware decoding including H.265, and equipped with the fourth-generation ACM image enhancement engine to provide cinema-class high-definition vision Experience. 2GB DDR3 dual-channel memory, 16GB eMMC5.0 flash memory, support storm left-eye technology optimization, dbx-tv sound system, 2.5/5G dual-band WiFi, equipped with Bluetooth 4.1 module, equipped with USB3.0 and HDMI IN2.0 interface.
This configuration has fully satisfied the needs of most HD videophiles and the demand for smart TV games. It is worth reminding again that the host part can support replacement, so the hardware configuration can be used often new.
to sum up:
The release of Superstorm TV is not a big deal. However, as users of us, we want to see more than just excitement, but also the core competitiveness of a product. At this point, the storm has certainly made a very adequate preparation so that it can deliver a perfect answer to consumers with such sincerity. As a 55-inch smart TV product with a price of less than 4,000 yuan (see the official website for other sizes), a full metal body, rose gold color, Soundbar with perfect sound quality, precisely tuned LG 4K HD IPS Screen, and wind UI full of user-friendly design, even if it does not compare with other brands of smart TV products, Storm Super Body TV will also inject new vitality into the domestic smart TV market with absolute cost-effectiveness, let wisdom grow, this statement is true .
