Perhaps because there is no follow-up to the Internet giant, the projector industry is always tepid and active in the niche group of movie enthusiasts, until the micro-projection with intelligent systems has changed from those who do not enterprising predecessors to change. . However, this industry still lacks a giant who understands marketing and can “educate†the market, a company like Xiaomi or LeTV.

Recently, we have heard that the above two companies may have plans to launch projection products. Before them, however, another Internet TV giant, a micro whale, took the micro whale smart projection K1 to take the lead. Compared with existing micro-projection brands in the market, Internet TV manufacturers have more advantages in the development of intelligent systems and the lineup of video resource banks. Traditional optical design is the initial attempt. Therefore, in this article, the experience of the smart whale projection is to decrypt the new product that was just released yesterday from these two perspectives.
---- Temperamental Metal Tough Whale Smart Projection K1 Appreciation ----
Unlike the public faces of those outside plastic cases, TV brands know how to market and design products like mobile phones, so we can see its original style from the MicroWhale Smart Projector.

The smart whale uses a parallelogram body structure, and the lines are fortitude, but not as dull as the quadrilateral. Looking around it, you will find that the entire housing does not see a screw, which requires the designer to carefully design the internal buckle structure to complete. The micro-whale smart micro-cast uses a composite structure of an iron-gray metal texture shell and an aluminum alloy panel, so the appearance can feel a rich metal texture rather than the common cheap plastic flavor of the projector.

The black all-aluminum panel with water rippled wire drawing is the highlight of the appearance. The deep optical lens and autofocus camera sensor are hidden under this metal panel.

Just above the fuselage, the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 provides three physical buttons and a volume control touch bar. In addition, the touch of the micro whale LOGO can also light up all the interface lights at the rear of the fuselage to enhance the night's control experience. .
The remote controller that came with the product comes down in the same vein as the small whale TV remote control, which means that its system and controls are more like smart TVs than projections. On the remote control of a conventional projector, it will prepare us a large number of physical buttons, wishing that each input source has a separate button and an additional input source switching button has to be additionally set. The difference between the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 is that the projection menu and the switchable content are not many, after all, in most cases its auto focus and keystone correction will get the problem of setting.

Interfaces, micro whale smart projection K1 back provides USB3.0 and HDMI2.0, the specification is very high, in addition to the right audio output interface can be connected to the 3.5mm interface headphones or headphones connected through Bluetooth, watching their own point in the dead of night What is very private.
At the bottom of the fuselage, we saw a huge rubber base pad, which provides portable scratch protection. In addition, it seems that the bottom of the micro whale LOGO is 1/4 screw, you can lift or connect a tripod to use, but we did not deduct this piece of rubber mat, the process is really tight.
----Dual mode work is projection and audio ----
Unlike many micro-projections, the Micro-Whale Smart Projector K1 is very concerned about sound effects, which is consistent with the product strategy of Micro-Whale TV. According to our understanding, the K1 has built-in dual 8W 45mm speakers, combined with the EQ algorithm jointly developed with musicians such as Li Jian to optimize the tri-band performance of the audio. At the application level, the audio can even work independently of the projection mode. Press and hold the music button on the top of the phone to enter the Bluetooth audio mode. You can connect WiFi or connect to a mobile phone to play music. It is equipped with Internet radio such as shrimp and watercress FM. .
There is a speaker on each side, the total size is equivalent to half the width of the fuselage
In the interior of the micro whale K1, it provides a 11700mAh lithium battery, which can last up to 3 hours in the projection mode and 10 hours in the speaker mode. Even this battery can charge the mobile phone and tablet, and it is easy to use.
The brightness is good enough for the color micro whale smart projection K1 test
----720P LED Longevity Light Source Microprojection Standard Properties ----
For projection, optical performance is definitely the core element, so we give priority to this part. According to statistics, the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 uses a TI 0.3-inch DLP chip with a resolution of 720P, which is the mainstream level of micro projection. Of course, there is no 1080P micro-projection because of the technical limitations of the TI chip. In combination with the DLP chip is an imported light machine with built-in optical lens consisting of 17 lenses. More lens applications mean the K1 can enhance sharpness performance.
In terms of light sources, the tiny whale K1 uses an OSRAM LED bulb projection with a lifespan of 20,000 hours. Every day at work, it can be used for 3 hours to support 18 years of use. There is absolutely no need to worry about replacing the light bulb.
The nominal brightness of the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 is 280 lumens, which is very pragmatic and conservative compared to those of the LED micro-projectors with 3000-class calibration of 800 and 1000 lumens. We don't measure the exact value, and we don't have any reference to the data. So in the measured environment, we use the notebook to adjust to the highest brightness screen display.
----280 lumens at night brightness is sufficient----
Compared with the highest brightness notebook
Compared with the lowest brightness notebook
It can be seen that the maximum brightness mode of the K1 Whale Intelligent Projection K1 is lower than that of the 12.5-inch Lenovo X230, and the minimum brightness of the X230 is higher than that of the X230. We may have experience that the use of a notebook or mobile phone will turn down the brightness when the lights are turned off. In other words, the brightness of the K1 Whale Smart Projection K1 is perfectly adequate in a room that is well shaded. As for the turn-on condition, even 2-3000 lumen light bulbs are not recommended for use because indoor light has a great influence on the projection screen effect. Lights are mixed into the reflected light of the projection to greatly reduce the contrast and color performance.
---- Picture quality experience color comfortable and natural ----
According to our understanding, the projection ratio of this projector is 1.12:1, and it only takes 1.3 meters for a 60-inch screen, and it can reach a 120-inch large screen at 3 meters, and it can support the projection of a 200-inch screen. Just comparing the notebook screen, our projection distance is about 1.7 meters, then the projection screen is roughly 70 inches. If it is a 70-inch TV, relatively low-cost Internet products also need a price of about 10,000 yuan, and 3000-class micro whale smart projection K1 can easily project 70 or even larger screen size, this is the LCD TV can never be Comparable.

Inheriting the research of micro-whales on TV image quality processing technology, this K1 micro-projection has added 22 image enhancement techniques, including 10 bit color depth processing and BrilliantColor color gamut enhancement. According to our actual experience, the color of the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 is close to the style of real restoration, and it is not overly rendered. There is no over-saturated color expression. Everything is based on the true reproduction of the source color. natural.

Of course, the contrast micro whale smart projection K1 is certainly lacking, but this deficiency is compared to the TV, the projector's overall contrast level must lag behind the LCD TV, which is also true. Their problem is mainly that black cannot sink, so the dark part will appear slightly brighter, in addition to the light and dark expression of the projector there is no other slot.
With respect to definition, the 720P and micro-projectors do not take any advantage at all, so what we see in the document display is clear, but not as sharp as it is now. If you want to achieve this effect, it needs full HD resolution and higher cost optical lens, larger projection chip and many other synergies can be achieved, obviously not 3,000 yuan micro-capture can be overcome.
Gameplay Various Contents Micro whale Smart Projection K1 Experience
System and video content is a major focus of the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1. It can even be said that none of the brands in the current projector category can exceed the micro whale in these two points because he is serving a million-smart TV. Users, also face a number of professional Internet TV brand competition, is not a niche projector industry can match.

Children's content
VR content section
In addition to the movie, the Microwhale K1 also provides a large number of television dramas, variety shows, children's and even the very frontier VR panoramic video area. In the VR area, the microwhales have provided a large number of self-produced thematic content, such as the Chinese New Song Competition, Reality show, concert and even Luo Yonghao conference, etc. This is the first time that VR video that can be adjusted 360 degrees appears on the projection screen.
----Able to set up a hundred-inch cinema at anytime anywhere
I am actually a user who has many years of experience in micro-investment. I like to carry it back when I am out for a short time, because this is equivalent to carrying a "big TV" lightly and handy, suitable for driving, traveling or spring break Back home, of course, is also suitable for some users who are staying in school or renting a home because it is easy to carry and does not take up too much space.
Autofocus and Keystone Demo
The Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 has this portable feature, and it also incorporates high-quality speakers and autofocus and keystone correction. In the above experience video, you can see that the focus and keystone correction of the Micro Whale K1 is very sensitive. Basically, the micro-projection is placed on the plane about 1 second after the completion of the focus and adjustment, which will undoubtedly reduce the trouble of novice manual design. , And this kind of automation design is very intimate and practical.
Microwhale smart projection K1 usage scene
Lightweight and easy to use and mass content constitutes the versatility of the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1. For example, we can enjoy two romantic moments or three parent-child moments while camping, and take a warm bath in the hotel bathroom while taking a picture. Cast a clap on the ceiling to watch a funny show, or you can watch the game with the classmates in the dorm. In short, it is a multifaceted giant screen that can provide you with unlimited possibilities.
Micro whale K1 music model demo
In addition to the projection mode, long-pressing the music mode key can also turn off the projection into the pure sound mode. It can play song lists or content of Internet radio stations such as Douban, Himalayan fm, and the like, and can also connect the mobile phone via Bluetooth. Expand your songs. According to our experience, the sound effect of the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 is quite satisfactory, and it is certain that it can definitely surpass those home projectors that are frequently 6-7000 Yuan. The sound in the compact space shows a very wide and low sound field. Dive, just listening to news programs can hear the gentle texture of the male host's low voice, do not do anything.
---- Experience summary ----
As far as experience is concerned, although it is a newcomer who has just entered the industry, microwhales have brought some newer games to the industry through innovation, such as auto focus and audio mode. These two major selling points are not standard in the projection industry. The built-in battery is versatile enough to charge the phone, so it can be said that the Micro Whale Smart Projector K1 can be played with great fun.
In terms of picture quality, I think that the Micro Whale Smart Projection K1 is still satisfactory, it has played a consistent real and comfortable imaging projector, as well as the same built-in audio rich emotion. The only thing that is not comfortable is the brightness, but if you personally experience it, you will find that the brightness of 280 lumens can be used to meet the requirements. At this point, there is no need to worry about it.
I would like to say that for the 2999 yuan micro-whale K1, such a high-priced viewing screen is not as high as a 55-inch TV. I think we really should consider upgrading to using projection to watch movies at home. The shock of the picture size is far more likely to infect you than the subtle tint or sharpness differences.
