The most distinctive feature of Xiaomi TV 3 is its split-body design. Like desktop computers, it separates the display part from the information processing part and forms two products: Xiaomi TV 3 monitor and Xiaomi TV host. Time Xiaobian has done a video evaluation of Xiaomi TV host (video evaluation: millet next generation split TV, which scene can be competent?), then, with the host with the best millet TV 3 display performance? Let's experience it below.
Out of the box
Millet TV 3's packaging is very simple, the use of kraft paper box production, front and rear only millet logo, more strange, I do not know why the top of the box is affixed with a red tape, but the decorative effect is very good.
The inside package is the same as most TV packages. Both sides of the TV are fixed with foam moulds. There is also an air cushion on the front of the display to buffer the screen.
The TV host is hidden behind the monitor and there is an installation instruction on the monitor. In particular, the display of Xiaomi TV 3 cannot be purchased separately. Only the Xiaomi TV host has a separate sale. The monitor must be paired with the TV host. Therefore, the millet TV 3 is formed, and the Xiaomi TV 3 has a total of two screen options. 55-inch models, standard price: 3999 yuan, package price: 4999 yuan (more than the standard subwoofer, somatosensory remote control, somatosensory game 3 years VIP), another standard 60-inch: 4999 yuan , Set: 5999 yuan.
Well, I couldn’t wait to get the monitor out and take a look. The moment it slipped down the bag was amazing. As to why it was amazing, the following part of the appearance will be particularly clarified.
By the way, I forgot to mention what was in the box. There was nothing special about it. It was the millet TV host, monitor, accessory box and two monitor stands.
The bracket is a one-piece metal die-casting machine. The quality is very good. It has a great sense of weight on the hand, and the surface has been polished. With the low color and such a design, it can still feel ingenious.
The main part of the accessory box is the remote controller, Mi Port cable, AV adapter cable, battery, screw, and screwdriver.
It is very simple to assemble the bracket to the display and the assembly is completed.
Exterior
The Xiaobian TV 3 got 55-inch version, this size is completely enough for the average home user, the monitor gives a very minimalist feeling, the frame is very thin, the support of the bracket also reflects a good Sense of security.
The logo at the bottom of the screen is engraved with the logo of the millet. The gray-black color of the machine reveals a steady atmosphere. This kind of color can be well matched with various home decoration styles. The weird thing is that no buttons are visible on the entire body of the monitor, which largely relieves obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Just mentioned above, when the protection bag sliding down the moment was stunning, the thickness of the fuselage is one of the reasons, the thinnest part of the 55-inch display is only 9.9mm, with the thickness of the iPhone6 ​​almost, so take When I was on the monitor, I was very worried that the screen would be damaged. However, these concerns were completely redundant. This monitor was indeed very good workmanship. The two people picked up the monitor and lifted it without seeing any obvious deformation. The use of all-metal material at the border, with a circle of orange chamfered three-dimensional diamond grinding strips, was particularly good visual impact.
On the one hand, TV manufacturers strive to make the screen display better and better, and OLEDs, curved surfaces, and quantum screen TVs are on the turn. On the other hand, TVs are becoming thinner and thinner. This is part of the visual experience and it also saves space. Millet TV 3 is the ultimate in ultra-thin, the core reason is that the core part of the traditional TV has been moved to the millet TV host, the TV itself is actually a screen: only the power chip and MEMC (motion detection and compensation) chip.
After the base is mounted on the monitor, its artistic sensation is more intense. The streamlined shape is combined with a strong metal texture. It is soft and hard, and the stand also allows the monitor to stand upright.
Since the main unit is separated and the speakers are not equipped at the same time, the back of the display is still very thin. The rear part of the TV is rarely noticed by anyone, so the design of the rear part is not very particular. The rear cover of most TVs is made of plastic material, but the upper part of the rear cover of the TV monitor 3 of Xiaomi TV uses a large one. Brushed metal panel, texture is very strong, the meticulous place is really everywhere, this is the author just slipped down the bag that moment was stunning another reason.
The texture of the metal wire drawing panel is very strong, the light reflection effect is particularly good, the lower plastic cover is not raised very seriously, the metal and the plastic between the excessively just right, the middle of the plastic cover is printed with the logo of the millet, the back cover also has heat Hole design, the bottom of the symmetrical hole position, on the left for the Mi port interface, the right of the power cord outlet.
In addition to the fuselage does not have any buttons, there is no extra interface, the whole body only has a Mi Port interface, that is to say this monitor only supports millet TV host or future upgrades, not an independent routine monitor.
The label on the relevant parameters of the machine is affixed next to the outlet of the power cord.
The monitor is connected to the millet TV host through the Mi Port line. After the monitor is connected to the millet TV host, the TV host can directly supply power through the monitor without external power supply. Various data interfaces are also connected through the TV host. Lei Jun said at the press conference that The design can solve the problem of the television hanging on the wall too much and too chaotic. If the TV is hung on the wall, there will only be one line on the host. Actually it is not one, it is two. The other is the power cable of the monitor, but it does make the wall Very simple. As mentioned above, there are no buttons on the monitor. Yes, all key operations are performed on the TV host.
The overall effect is still very good, the TV host part feels like an external speaker, with the host set off it appears that the TV will not be too monotonous.
Lei Jun compared this TV host to the audio + smart TV motherboard + millet box complex, as it has been relevant evaluation of this host, so here is not much elaborated, and interested friends can view the video evaluation: Xiaomi times What are the scenes that the generations can split into television? One article.
Split design can upgrade the host and screen independently, the screen is still very good, but the only regret is that the monitor of the millet TV 3 can not be used as a monitor for other devices, only with the millet TV host, even if the external The box also needs a TV host to connect.
Millet TV 3 screen uses a Samsung/LG True 4K screen with a specific resolution of 3840 x 2160, a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, a response speed of 8 milliseconds, and a wide color gamut of 85%, indicating that it will be able to display more With rich colors, let's take a look at how this particular screen performs.
The effect of 4K resolution display is very praiseworthy. In the test below, almost all 4K recognition areas can be clearly displayed. Only the top line of the text part is slightly blurred, but it can have such an effect, basically reaching 4K. Screen display requirements.
Grayscale performance is still good, the following picture after the camera has produced a certain color, in fact, in the display effect is more rational than the picture, from the lower right corner of the upper left corner of the color can be clearly identified, Only small blocks of color blur in the upper left corner and near the lower right corner.
The performance of color is good if it is commented from this price point, but if it is strictly required, it will be slightly inferior. The following test chart is overall satisfactory, and each part meets the testing requirements. The darkness of the color is very clear, but the dark blue color appears to be slightly weaker. From the color ball below and the upper left color, we can see that the light and dark changes are not obvious. Between the 240 and 255 color patches appear Obvious parallelism.
Although the specific color test performance is general, but the actual picture display effect is particularly satisfactory, the color of the reduction is very good, the details are still clear and sharp, some pictures but also brighter than the original picture, the contrast is more intense. (The image on the left in the figure below is the real shot image displayed on the TV picture, the image on the right is the original image, and the pictures are all high-definition pictures of 2K or more. After the picture is taken, the chromatic aberration may occur.)
The viewing angle, like the official description, did reach 178 degrees. When viewed close to this angle, the color of the screen still does not change significantly. The display effect is like looking at a painting, which means that the living room can accommodate more. When a person is sitting, the partners who sit on the side can also watch TV clearly.
Watching high-definition video, the screen is still very smooth, measured several movies, in the state of the network cable management, there has been no phenomenon of dropped frames and Caton, the screen display color and details as the above picture test, full color, The details are clear, but in a bright light environment, the brightness of the screen is slightly less than adequate. In all cases, the screen is still very satisfactory for this price point.
What needs to be mentioned in particular is that since MIM TV 3 has added MEMC dynamic picture compensation, it can effectively eliminate the smearing of moving images compared to ordinary ordinary televisions, especially when playing racing games, watching racing cars, soccer games, etc. Can play a more obvious effect, experience found that this feature does give a good visual experience, watch football games, etc., obviously make up for the problem of high-speed blurred pictures, making the picture more smooth and comfortable.
to sum up
This evaluation only related to the monitor display of millet TV 3, in general, the performance of this screen is very good, both in terms of color, details, fluency and other aspects have achieved the desired results, and in particular praise The screen is particularly pleasing from the exterior design to the construction process. The all-metal fuselage and ultra-thin design are very attractive places, and the workmanship also continues Xiaomi’s rigorous style. .
It is a pity that this screen has only one Mi Port interface. At present, it can only be used with the Xiaomi TV host. It can only be sighed if it is to be connected to a TV box or used as a computer screen. However, it is only used in conjunction with the Xiaomi TV host. From a television perspective, this millet TV 3 is still very competitive with other similarly priced products.
Out of the box
Millet TV 3's packaging is very simple, the use of kraft paper box production, front and rear only millet logo, more strange, I do not know why the top of the box is affixed with a red tape, but the decorative effect is very good.
