Weijing TV startup experience: idol-like performance

Last week, we conducted a violent evaluation of the Whaley Smart TV WTV55K1. During the all-round disassembly process, we confirmed with everyone that its inner structure is quite "powerful" under the aura of "idol".

Next, let’s take a look at whether the startup experience of Weijing TV is worth a week’s wait.

【System UI】

In terms of the system, Whale TV uses YunOS, which is developed based on Linux. In addition to the cloud service advantage reflected in the name, the system also has the advantage of cross-platform. The user's account can be upgraded to a unified Ali pass, spanning multiple applications such as Taobao and Alipay. Payment is a major problem facing smart TVs at present. I wonder if Ali's layout in the field of mobile payment can alleviate this dilemma.

By comparison, we can find that, unlike the horizontal scrolling interface of most smart TVs, the main interface of Whaley UI adopts a vertical layout, which may be more in line with the operating habits of mobile users in design. Its preview function can help users make predictions about the content while operating quickly.

The Bluetooth remote control developed in cooperation with iFlytek is very sensitive and does not require you to focus on a certain point all the time. The remote control is equipped with a microphone, so users can directly use voice to search for TV programs, check the weather, stocks, etc.

In some special circumstances, such as when the remote control cannot be found or suddenly runs out of power, you can also control the TV through the physical buttons on the back of the TV, which are more sensitive than the remote control.

It is worth mentioning that Whale TV has also specially designed a children's interface. The simple and vivid design makes it easy for children to get started.

【Content resources】

For smart TVs, hardware is only part of the competition. High-quality resources are also the key to gaining the favor of consumers. The annual membership price of 199 yuan and rich content are also one of the highlights of the launch of Weijing TV.

In the recommendations, we can see that WTV55K1 has built-in video sources including Tencent, Youku, and Pudding. At the same time, Whale TV also has exclusive content provided by Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Star Media, IMAX, Caixin Media, Ti Ao Power and other companies, and has launched more than 200 popular programs such as "The Voice of China", "Dancing Forest", "China's Got Talent", and "Kung Fu Panda 3".

In addition, Whale TV allows users to install third-party application markets to expand the content of TV according to their own needs. There are three ways to install it: online, USB flash drive and remote.

Users can directly insert a USB drive and install the downloaded apps on the TV.

WeWhale also provides an application called "WeWhale Assistant", in which users can use the "push local installation package" function to install applications from their mobile phones directly to the TV.

【Effect Experience】

With the previous system and content laid out, I believe everyone is looking forward to the actual playback effect of Weijing TV.

From the screenshots, we can intuitively feel that LG's original imported IPS hard screen brings better visual performance to Weijing, the color enhancement effect is comfortable, the color restoration is true, and the picture display is delicate; it is equipped with a 64-bit quad-core 1.4GHz high-end CPU Cortex A53, 8GB flash memory and 2GB memory, which makes the machine run smoothly. When the network speed is strong, there is basically no lag when playing videos, the picture is smooth, and the loading speed is fast; the industry's first built-in dual HiFi sound effect may make you give up the plan of equipping a Soudbar.

After a trial run, I can realize that the system design of Weijing TV is as simple and meticulous as its hardware; its performance in sound quality and picture quality is enough to match its solid materials; and its rich content resources and powerful scalability are enough to attract more users.

Up to this point, I believe every netizen has already made his or her own judgment on whether the startup experience of Weijing is worth the week-long wait.
