Screen performance

On the screen performance part, Xiao Bian originally wanted to test colors, brightness, and gray scales together in a regular manner. However, for the red, green, blue, and white (RGBW) TV screens, the color photos of the different colors were played. Even if it is trying to restore the effect actually seen by the human eye, the captured picture will have different effects after being displayed on different screens, and it may cause wrong guidance to the user. Therefore, this part is not used as a small series. The focus of evaluation is that Xiao Bian would like to measure the TV screen performance for everyone through the following intuitive methods.

Backlight control


Xiaobian adjusts the image mode of the TV to the standard mode, and the brightness is adjusted to the brightest. Under the condition of black proofs, the screen selects a picture that is closest to the human eye in many captured pictures, and can be visualized through the above figure. See the backlight control situation of the Whale WTV43K1. There is a slight light leakage in the upper left and lower left corners of the screen. The backlight brightness in the upper right and lower right corners is slightly brighter compared to the left, but the overall backlight control level is still very good, compared to other brands with the same price. , Xiao Bian can be very responsible that the control situation of the backlight of the micro whale WTV43K1 should be regarded as a very good deal.

2. 1080P & 4K pixel comparison

The LeTV S40 air uses a 1080p screen, and the Whale WTV43K1 uses a true 4K display. From the arrangement of pixels, the Whale WTV43K1 adopts RGBW vertical arrangement, and the LeTV S40 air adopts RGB horizontal arrangement, which can be very intuitive. It can be seen that the 4-color RGBW technology of the 4K display will undoubtedly bring more delicate and brighter image quality and color.

Of course, this design will provide more efficient operation than the multi-level menus of other brands.

1. The main interface

The main interface is mainly divided into 7 major parts:


A. Search

a. Text search



The WUI designed by the microwhales is designed as a self-contained unit. It can be seen that the importance is attached.

It seems that the micro whale is specifically extracted. On the one hand, it is also for users to quickly and directly. Find the settings button.

Four. System settings

In the common settings it mainly contains the following parts:

1. Network and Bluetooth settings




Microwhales can be connected to the Internet wirelessly or via cable, and can be configured for settings such as automatic/manual network configuration.

Dynamic backlight

The small whale in the back part of the intimate design for the user to adjust the dynamic function, simply put the screen playback process in the system will automatically adjust according to the brightness of the playback screen, then this function exactly what role? The most intuitive experience in the use of Xiao Bian is that when the screen plays a picture such as dark night light, the backlight will darken. When the picture becomes bright, such as the daytime outdoors, the backlight will automatically become very bright. This is a technique that makes the darker picture darker and the brighter picture brighter.

Sound section


The whale can set sounds to switch between local or external audio devices, and external speakers support external devices such as SPDIF and ARC. In the audio decoding output section, Micro Whale offers PCM (television decoding, 2.1-channel support) and RAW (external device decoding, maximum support for SPDIF 5.1 channels and HDMI 7.1 channels) in two ways.

Speaking that Xiaobian had to subdue the details of the microwhales, the microwhale added a nighttime volume control function to the system sounds. After turning on the switch, the nightfall was 23:00—the next morning at 8:00 am when the volume was mistaken.
