Millet TV 2 55 inches how detailed evaluation analysis

Millet TV 2 55 inch know? Not 49 inches or 40 inches, but 55 inches. On March 31, Xiaomi released the 55-inch 4K flagship TV, which is better than the 49-inch version in terms of size and performance. It also has a new design for the subwoofer, plus a metal bezel TV and integrated metal Soundbar. , "The Three Iron Swordsmen" was formed for the first time. The home theater version also reached Xiaomi's most expensive product - 4,999 yuan.

Since entering the television industry in September of 13th, Xiaomi has been cautious for the first two years, and has been steadily introduced once a year, and he has not dared to go further than 50 inches. However, they suddenly made a sudden effort to launch 40-inch and 55-inch two brand-new sizes in one breath, which is hardly believed.

But everything is also reasonable, 49 inches continue to adhere to the mainstream living room, 40 inches to explore new new humans, while the 55-inch will continue to explore the top, in the same size TV against your friendly business will have greater confidence.

So what's the improvement of Xiaomi TV's 55-inch TV? Isn't it worth the extra 1,000 for it? I heard it canceled the 3D function. What is the reason? Let's explore together:



It is not difficult to see from the designation of Xiaomi TV 2 that the design style of Xiaomi TV's 55-inch is very similar to the 49-inch model. All of them use a full metal edging design with local gold color matching. The two legs at both ends are like twins. .
However, in terms of configuration, the Xiaomi TV 55-inch has undergone a substantial upgrade. It is equipped with a Samsung 4G RGB true 4K LCD (resolution 3840x2160) and Ruiyi backlight module. It is equipped with the top-of-the-line MStar 6A928 1.4GHz processor for the first time (4K video The decoding capability is up to 60 frames per second, and supports H.265 10bit hard decoding). With Mali-760 MP4 GPU, built-in 2GB DDR3 memory + 8GB body storage.

Specific differences please refer to the following table:



Millet TV 2 specifications comparison


Millet TV 55-inch model L55M2-AA, this we will certainly not unfamiliar, because the 49-inch version model L49M2-AA, 40-inch version model L40M2-AA.

It is worth mentioning that even though there are 13cm more in length, Xiaomi TV's 55-inch still uses a two-footer solution, and it is located at both ends quite far apart. The official did not consider whether the table is not long enough. ?

The answer given by Xiaomi is that the base is mainly concerned with the problem of stability and firmness. Two large spans can provide very stable support. Follow-up If there is a larger-size TV, Xiaomi still has to look at the assessment of the ID design before deciding on the specific design of the foot.



Although from the data point of view, 55 inches compared to 49 inches and not too obvious increase, but can still see the obvious difference on the table, this visual improvement for the smaller family room is very obvious.

Here's a look at how the millet TV 2 55-inch workmanship:



The width of the 55-inch metal edge of the millet TV is the same as that of the 49-inch. The edge sealing and cutting angle also maintain the original excellent workmanship. However, because the size of the panel is larger, the black border in the panel is obviously more than 49 inches.



The entire border is less than half the diameter of a five-cornered coin, which is very difficult in a 55-inch TV.



In terms of body thickness, the thinnest point reached 1.52cm, which is even better than 49 inches.



Like the 49-inch millet TV 2, a touch sensor is also designed just below it. In addition to accepting hand movements, it also incorporates functions such as breathing light, infrared, optical sensor, and Wi-Fi antenna. Because of this high level of integration, the Xiaomi TV 55-inch does not have any physical buttons.



Some regret is that the recently released millet TV 40 inches and millet TV 55 inches are not using Bluetooth design, but the mainstream infrared remote control, that is, the 49-inch version is the only millet comes with a Bluetooth remote control TV.






The Soundbar is exactly the same as the 49-inch version. The all-metal integrated design incorporates six full-range speakers and two silk-membrane tweeters. The eight speakers work together to better represent the breadth and depth of sound.



The new subwoofer is more compact than the previous, side wrapped by a new aluminum alloy shell, with the metal frame of the TV is more in line with each other. Because of volume limitations, it uses a 6.5-inch subwoofer, which is much smaller than the original 8-inch speaker. However, the new 6.5-inch passive radiator is not previously available. It is known as a combination of woofer and passive radiator. The volume also guarantees sufficient dive capability.

The subwoofer uses Bluetooth to connect with the Soundbar, which together form a TV's external sound system. Xiaomi emphasized that the subwoofer must be placed on the floor. The author thinks that it should be related to resonance. It should be placed on the ground as a hard shock absorber, and the sound quality should be better.



Interface, millet TV 2 55-inch layout and 49-inch version of the same, but a missing 32GB Micro SD card slot. What really catches the eye is that the TV offers three HDMI 2.0 ports (previously three HDMI 1.4 ports) and supports 60Hz 4K video input, which is the gospel of the 4K Ultra HD gaming party.

Millet TV 2 55-inch panel using the original Samsung 4K LCD screen resolution of 3840x2160, supports up to 178 degrees of viewing angle, 8ms response speed and high static contrast ratio of 4000:1.

Referring to Samsung, in the country, people's discussion about Samsung seems to have been reduced a lot recently. Xiaomi and Huawei are the representatives of domestic mobile phone manufacturers to grab half of it. Some people will ask: Did Samsung give Xiaomi his own screen?

In fact, this is not a problem at all. After all, the core of a company is still a profit. It is precisely because Xiaomi and other companies have grabbed the Samsung mobile phone market that Samsung will hope to win more in other markets (such as display panels) than mobile phones. Share, as long as you can sell the display, whether it is millet, whoever buys money.



Back to the TV, it also features a Swiss backlight module. If you remember correctly, the previous 40-inch version of the Xiaomi TV 2 will use it. The module is also used on iMacs, MacBooks, and most iPads. It supports partition dynamic adjustment technology. The screen is divided into 8 brightness areas, real-time perception of the brightness and darkness of the screen, to achieve fine adjustment of the bright and dark parts.



In terms of finesse, 4K resolution is already the mainstream choice of current flagship TVs, and the sophistication is far better than the 40-inch screen with 1080P TV.

Let's look at the following perspective:



Front view




Left view





Right view




Overlook


According to the test data, the 55-inch NTSC color gamut of the millet TV is close to 75%, which is in the same level as the previous 49-inch version. In addition, the sRGB (standard red, green, and blue) is basically fully covered. It is excellent.
For a 4K TV, I am afraid that the picture clarity is more concerned about everyone, so let's look at a group of screen shot 4K video. In view of the camera's imaging limitations, it is inevitable to produce distortion, but the color performance and picture fineness can still be discerned at a glance.















Millet TV 2 55-inch operation is still based on the depth of Android custom MIUI TV system, content resources from the GITV (Central Galaxy), this point with the millet small box and 40-inch version of the millet TV 2 is the same, the future 49-inch version should It will also upgrade to this system.



The main interface we are very familiar with, the left is still a different choice of video input source, when you connect to other video sources through the HDMI, AV, VGA and other interfaces, the millet TV 2 only as a monitor, all these interfaces Will disappear.

To the right is the video, application resources provided by the millet TV 2, all movies, TV shows, games, APP have a clear classification, simple interaction interface white can easily get started.



The installed APP does not need to open the App Store to find it, but displays it directly to the far right. It is worth mentioning that you can press the "OK" button to enter the icon editing mode, so you can freely move the sort or delete the application.



In terms of content resources, the platform boasts 140,000 hours of massive video content, including 3,000 genuine movies, 44,000 episodes of TV dramas, and 91,000 genuine variety shows.

For smart TVs, the update speed is often more important than the content richness. In this regard, the millet TVs of GITV in hand have made significant progress compared to the previous iCNTV, but there is still room for improvement. Wolf Totem, for example, can currently only be paid for purchase.



Domestic consumers are still in the realm of willingness to pay for hardware but are reluctant to buy software. This also means that the implementation of "content payment" will face great difficulties. For example, the movie Wolf Totem needs 5 yuan, although it is much cheaper than a movie theater, but I am afraid it is not realistic for the user to pay for it.



However, it is praiseworthy that Xiaomi's payment process is very convenient, you can pay by ricin (1m = 1 yuan RMB) and Alipay, just scan the QR code on it.

From the payee information, it can be seen that the recipient is “Beijing Xiaomi Payment Technology Co., Ltd.”, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xiaomi Technology. It was established at the end of 2013 and received a payment license in February 2014. With the increase of copyright awareness, In the future, millet payment will inevitably become an indispensable part of Xiaomi's ecological chain.



Attentive users should have discovered that, unlike 49-inch millet TV 2, the 55-inch version does not come with 3D glasses. This is because the 55-inch version has been canceled "3D" function, the official explanation is given: Considering the current 3D little significance.
This is true because the current 3D movies are much slower to update than 2D movies, many of which were videos a few years ago and are not very attractive to many people.



However, we found a "3D to 2D" function on the touchpad. When the local 3D video is played, it is automatically recognized. Then it is converted to 2D video playback for the user to see. This function is very easy to implement, and the actual meaning is not too large. . In contrast, we hope it can retain 3D capabilities.



There is no doubt that Xiaomi TV 55-inch is able to install third-party APP, U disk installation is not too difficult for many users.



720P H.265 video


In addition, 55-inch millet TV 2 also supports H.265 video decoding, decoding capabilities up to 4K@60fps H.265; previously released 40-inch version also supports, but the highest support 1080P@60fps H.265 decoding. The measured native player can smoothly play 720P H.265 video, but when playing 1080P video, it shows “This format does not support”, which is the same as the 40-inch version of the millet TV2. To eliminate the reason for the hardware, the problem is likely to be in the compatibility of the decoding software. At present, there is still no ideal H.265 decoding APP on the TV.



Although the screen size is larger, the 55-inch nominal power consumption of the millet TV is the same as that of the 49-inch version. It is still 180W and the standby power consumption is below 0.5W. The classification of the energy efficiency label in China belongs to level 3.



The actual test, after playing 4K HD video for 30 minutes, the power consumption is stable at about 100W. As a 55-inch flagship TV, this power consumption is very easy for us to accept.

In comparison, 40-inch millet TV 2 is an artifact in renting. The actual power consumption is only about 55W, and it has its own bright spot: it supports 110-240V global wide voltage; and 55-inch millet TV 2 only supports 220-240V voltage , But then again, the domestic unity of 220 voltage, it will not be too tangled in the scope of its support.







In terms of temperature, Xiaomi TV's 55-inch and 49-inch models use the bottom-side LED backlight scheme, so the heat is mainly concentrated at the bottom. For example, the interface and the nameplate will feel obvious heat. In fact, the maximum temperature is only About 36°, and like the logo on the top, the temperature is less than 28°.

In addition, in terms of switching time, from pressing the power button to normal operation, the 55-inch millet TV 2 takes about 27 seconds. Turning off the remote control is just a matter of entering the normal standby mode. It is a real power-off operation through the touch button directly under the TV. It takes less than 5 seconds to completely shut down.

From the above experience test, because the same millet TV 2 series, millet TV 55 inches compared to the 49-inch version and no obvious change, more of a larger size, wireless subwoofer small some. As far as the general living environment is concerned, it is better to consider whether it can be bought immediately and whether logistics can cover home, for example, instead of entangling 49 inches or 55 inches.

Compared to the 49-inch version, Xiaomi TV's 55 inches do have the advantages of size and performance, such as support for 4K@60fps H.265 video decoding, and power consumption has not significantly improved, and heat is even more surprising. In the flagship sense, the price of 4999 yuan (with Soundbar + subwoofer) is completely acceptable.

At the same time, if you just want to have a smart TV with a beautiful appearance that can be played in 4K, or if you can't let go of 3D playback, then 49-inch is undoubtedly more suitable for you. If you say that 1080P is enough, there are 40-inch millet TV 2 waiting for you.
