Millet TV 2S how 48-inch all-round depth evaluation

As an upgraded version of the millet TV 2, the appearance of the millet TV 2S has brought us surprises. What is it that millet’s best television has so far defeated previous generations of millet television? So what's the actual performance of this TV? Is there really enough legend to kill everything? We have to really measure it.

Lei Jun said that Millet TV 2S positioned the young man's first TV. Since Xiaomi 2S's main selling point is the ultra-thin plus metal body design, I start from its appearance.

Millet TV 2S is 108 centimeters long and 63 centimeters high (with a base of 70 centimeters). Bare metal has a base weight of 13kg, almost the same as 49-inch millet TV2. With the same metal frame, tripod and sound system, the overall shape continues the previous style.


Millet TV 2 specifications comparison

From the comparison of the above table, it can be seen that Xiaomi TV 2S surpasses the previous 49-inch version of Xiaomi TV 2 in terms of hardware configuration and maintains the same level as 55-inch Xiaomi TV 2. This is also the second TV that Xiaomi provides HDMI 2.0 and supports 4K@60 frame decoding.

In fact, the thickness of the body of the millet TV 2S is reduced from 15.5 mm of the Xiaomi TV 2 (49 inches) to 9.9 mm, and the thickness is directly reduced by 1/3. Considering that the TV has a big difference between the panel, the backlight, and the mobile phone It's not easy to be close to a cell phone.

In terms of brackets, Xiaomi TV 2S canceled the four-hole design that millet TV 2 can adjust up and down. Initially, I was worried that the SoundBar could not be put down at the bottom, and I really found it in place.


Body thickness and frame thickness


Front frame thickness

In addition, it is worth mentioning that millet TV 2S continues the full metal edging design, and the frame adopts a two-color anodized aluminum process, which is more texture than aluminum mill blasting + metal wire drawing of millet TV 2. And this time not only limited to Champagne gold color, but provide five kinds of border color options, such as this we get this is blue, more with a cool tone of the home style.

In terms of product technology, the millet TV 2 workmanship is obviously improved, the metal frame still adopts the splicing structure, and the gap accuracy is greatly improved compared to the previous.

Turning to the back, we will also find that because the backlight source, built-in power supply, all kinds of interfaces and other components are concentrated in the lower part, the millet TV 2 is divided into two parts clearly above and below, the lower part is plastic material, easy to mold opening, on Part of it is a whole piece of metal backboard, which was not previously available in millet TVs. While strengthening heat dissipation, it also improves the risk of bending the top frame.


Millet TV 2S nameplate

Different from the touch switch of the millet TV 2, the millet TV 2S uses one entity to dare to see, the appearance is crystal clear, and the touch is more comfortable.


Speakers on both sides of the switch

On the interface side, the local interface input provides three HDMI 2.0, one AV, one VGA, one USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, one analog TV, one Ethernet, and the output has S/PDIF and analog audio.

Among them, HDMI 2.0 is still the biggest selling point. The TV provides three HDMI 2.0 ports (previously three HDMI 1.4 ports), new support for 60Hz 4K (3840x2160) video, and support for 21:9 resolution. In terms of audio, HDMI 2.0 also supports 32 channels and can transmit 1536KHz audio samples.


At the top of the lower part, we can see the rows of cooling holes. We just suspect that the design is not good. Will this become a natural dust collector?


The plug of the Xiaomi TV 2S is different from its predecessor, and it adopts a new design. It is more suitable for thumb pressing when inserted, and it is said to cost RMB 500,000 for R&D. Wires and apples come from the same company and are very flexible.

As for the addition of 3D glasses since Xiaomi TV 2, it is mainly the latest TVs that have cancelled “3D”. The official explanation is: Considering the current 3D is not significant. For the existence of 3D is necessary, everyone has their own definition, but with the increasingly rich VR glasses, 3D video, I believe 3D will come back.


In addition, millet TV 2S provides an infrared remote control, in fact, previously released 40-inch and 55-inch version of the millet TV 2 are also infrared remote control, that is, the 49-inch version is the only millet comes with Bluetooth Remote control TV.


Soundbar and the previous millet TV 2 exactly the same, all-metal integration design, built-in 6 full-range speakers and 2 silk film tweeters, 8 speakers work together to better show the sound of the broad and level.

We are not unfamiliar with the compact subwoofer. The side is wrapped by a new aluminum alloy shell, and it is complemented by a metal frame TV. Because of the volume limitations, it uses a 6.5-inch subwoofer, which is much smaller than the original 8-inch speaker, but the new 6.5-inch passive radiator is not available previously. It is known as a combination of woofer and passive radiator. The small 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, mainly because of the resonance, and it is a hard shock absorber on the ground, and the sound quality will be better.

For Xiaomi this group of audio systems, the absolute value of 600 yuan (3999-3399), if you do not have audio, it is recommended that you buy together (of course, now do not support the purchase of a separate TV), the effect is definitely higher than the speaker of the TV itself One level.

Buying television is buying screens and millet TVs. I believe many people have heard of this statement. The facts are indeed true. Apart from the novelty of new arrivals, almost no one will care about how the appearance of TV can be displayed when they are actually used. The clarity and beauty are the irrefutable truths.

Millet TV 2S is equipped with a 4K screen, resolution 3840 × 2160, can achieve 4K point-to-point non-destructive display, only the distance will see the liquid crystal particles.

In terms of specific parameters, we still use the professional color correction instrument Spyder Elite 4 to conduct actual tests and obtain the original ICC file (in order to ensure the accuracy of the data, it needs to warm up for 1 hour before the display test).

First look at the brightness and color gamut

After running for 1 hour, we adjusted the backlight brightness and system brightness to the maximum. The test results are as follows:

From the above table, the maximum brightness of Xiaomi TV 2S reaches 329cd/m2, and this brightness reaches the current mainstream level, and there is no problem as watching TV everyday. The smart TVs that are implemented in them generally support the automatic brightness adjustment function. When used normally, they are all adjusted to about 50%, and rarely use the maximum brightness.

The above table can also be seen that the default color temperature of the millet TV 2S is above 8000K, which is a cool color tone. The TV setting also supports color temperature adjustment. Users can freely adjust according to their preferences.



Ps. In the figure above, the green triangle area indicates the sRGB color gamut, and the red triangle area indicates the gamut performance of the measured display. When the red triangle can completely wrap the green triangle, the monitor can display all the colors.

As with the 55-inch version of the millet TV 2, the LCD panel of the millet TV 2S is also from Samsung original. After testing, the AdobeRGB color gamut has reached 87%, and the sRGB color gamut has even reached 100%, achieving full coverage, and this performance can be achieved. Said to be very good, not only surpassed the previous millet TV2, and even matched many million-dollar smart TVs.

Let's look at the color and brightness uniformity below:

No matter if it is a monitor or a TV, the larger the screen area, the consistent brightness of each corner of the screen is almost impossible. Of course, different manufacturers use various methods to minimize this difference.

In this test, the Spyder Elite 4 colorimeter will divide the screen into 9 areas of the “well” shape. After measuring the brightness of different areas, a comprehensive graph is drawn. (We test the uniformity under maximum brightness)
Color uniformity


Brightness uniformity

We adjust the brightness to 100%, which is the maximum (in fact, very few people will adjust to this bright).


The above figure is very intuitive to verify that the millet TV 2S is a low profile light mode, the lower part is also the brightest, the maximum brightness reaches 130cd/m2, the darkest part of course is located in the top, compared to the maximum brightness position of 47 %. From a horizontal perspective, Xiaomi TV 2 is relatively balanced, with a difference of up to 4%.


Then we adjust the brightness to 50% and then look, this time the maximum brightness of the screen is 26.2cd/m2, the darkest part is also at the top, but the brightness difference has dropped to 30%.


In terms of light leakage, Xiaomi TV 2S performed outstandingly, with only slight light leakage in the bottom two corners, which is better than most of the same price TV products on the market.

According to Xiaomi, Xiaomi TV 2S uses the MACE-Pro4 UC+, the fourth-generation ultra-high definition image quality engine, and has 12 ultra-high-definition image quality enhancement technologies and 10 enhancement technologies.

The specific display effect to see screen shot:







Whether it is a still picture or a fast-playing video, the millet TV 2S has a super-saturation, high-quality picture, and strong color expression. With 12 words to describe is: red tender, blue clear, pure green.

Millet TV 2S runs MIUI TV customized based on the Android 5.0 system, and content resources come from the GITV (Central Galaxy). It is worth mentioning that, just a while ago, Xiaomi TV 2S played the slogan of “five leaps and bounds”, including one “TV content victory.”


Prior to this, Xiaomi and LeTV have also spent a lot of time on the richness of their content. Xiaomi's strategy is to “major video network alliances.” That is to say, as long as the video websites of Xiaomi TV are introduced, they are the resources of Xiaomi. This sentence seems a bit awkward, but from the user's point of view, there is no reason not to be, as long as I can see, is not the resource of Xiaomi TV?



There is not much difference between the main interface layout and the previous ones, mainly the adjustment of some details. For example, the input source changes from portrait to horizontal icons, which is more space-saving than before. The two reserved HDMI input sources are sufficient for the average family. .

If more than one input source is connected at the same time, click "..." to expand all input sources. The TV can be used as a monitor through HDMI, AV, VGA, and other interfaces.


To the right is a specific video resources and system settings, movies, television shows, games, applications, etc. have a clear classification, the interface is very simple.


Millet TV's film and television resources are all concentrated in the "online film and television" section, according to Xiaomi's statement, they spent $ 1 billion to create a major video network alliance, including Youku, Tencent video, Sohu video, iQIYI, mango, etc. Super 100 The number of total resources (including movies, TV dramas, variety shows, animations, documentaries) reached 18,000 when the company’s video site was added.


The page shows that Millet TV currently has 8,000 movies +, 140,000 episodes of TV dramas, 2300 + variety shows, and 2000 hours of animation + hours. This data has been several times larger than when Xiaomi TV 2 was released.

In my opinion, the biggest advantage of Xiaomi TV and the “friends” in the mouth is “free annual fee.” According to Xiaomi’s data, its free content exceeds 82%, and there is no annual fee to see more content. For domestic users who are not very willing to pay, it is obviously very attractive.

For the fee content, the author found that the single price is about 5 yuan. For users who often watch movies, the long-term is not a small amount of expenditure. At this time, we recommend that you choose monthly service of 19.8 yuan monthly,


In addition, the official also said that in 2015 millet TV will be introduced through the cooperation of major Hollywood studios movie, this year, all cinema Hollywood movies are all logged in Xiaomi TV. At that time, like "Jurassic World" "Avengers Alliance 2" "Speed ​​and Passion 7" can be watched on the TV.

In the “Holiday of the Cinema”, there was indeed a hit film like “Bullying Hollywood”. However, most of them have already passed the screening period. They still hope that Xiaomi will speed up the cooperation and increase the speed of film release.


Alas, at the time of the suspension of video playback, Xiaomi’s own ad appeared. . .

Previously, whether 49-inch or 55-inch millet TV 2, the rated power consumption is 180W, when playing 4K video power consumption is about 100W, standby power consumption is below 0.5W.

Millet TV 2S screen size is 48 inches, theoretically not much difference. According to the packaging nameplate, the nominal power consumption of Xiaomi TV 2S is 180W. Moreover, the aircraft supports 100~240 global wide voltage, which is the 40-inch millet TV 2 has the skills, applicable to overseas markets.


Not surprisingly, the actual test, when playing 4K high-definition video, power consumption stabilized at about 108W, and maintained at the same level. As a 48-inch TV, this data is very easy for us to accept.


In terms of heat, thanks to the addition of the metal body, Xiaomi 2S has obvious advantages in heat dissipation. Moreover, it uses a bottom-side backlight type solution, even when the upper touch is cool.

At the bottom, the heat of the millet TV 2S is mainly concentrated on the metal frame at the bottom, and the other two are the back interfaces and symmetrical parts. The test shows that the maximum temperature is about 41°C, which is within an acceptable range.

to sum up:

Compared with the original Xiaomi TV 2, Xiaomi TV 2S has significantly improved its appearance, picture quality, performance, and content resources, and at the same time with the audio subwoofer, the price is even lower. In the 3000-inch 50-inch 4K TV, Xiaomi TV's 2S has few opponents.

The ultra-thin body is a major selling point of the millet TV 2S. Whether it is 9.9 mm thickness, metal back plate, or double-colored anodized aluminum oxide frame, it is even more graded and textured in the same plastic plastic TV ticket. Full.

Millet TV 2S video playback experience is even better than Xiaomi TV 2. Performance, the new HDMI 2.0 interface supports up to 4K @ 60fps video playback, chip decoding capabilities are also more powerful, SoundBar + subwoofer also makes the sound quality is guaranteed; picture quality, up to 87% of the Adobe RGB color gamut and excellent backlight system Bringing a pure and beautiful picture quality; In terms of resources, on the basis of GITV, it also added resources of iQiyi, Sohu, and other video sites, which doubled the content and 80% of the content was viewed free of charge.

Overall, Xiaomi TV 2S is the most powerful TV model for Xiaomi’s current average family. It almost completely surpasses 49-inch Xiaomi TV 2 and is not as “cheap” as 40-inch Xiaomi TV 2, but it is not like 55-inch millet. As the TV 2 is as high as 4,999 yuan, everyone thinks?
