The word “net red†must have been unfamiliar to everyone. As long as it is red, it will surely attract more popularity and social attention. Whether you are using cool looks, enough connotations, or even nets that are "accidentally," these are not important, because as long as you can attract everyone's attention, you've actually succeeded in half.
The circle of friends can create a popular network red, then the television circle can also create a "machine" network red. Needless to say, more cool shape design, richer content resources and even more explosive, explicit low-cost policies to attract small basin friends. In the face of all kinds of products, or very exaggerated words, how can we choose the one that suits us best?
Today, Xiao Bian brings you 4 new brands of Internet TV products to compare. Are these "machine" air nets different from each other? May we all pay attention together.
Popular "net red" Who is your dish?
In this evaluation process, Xiao Bian chose Storm TV 55B, TV 55å‹, and TVTV 55T and the 55 å‹ TVs of WTV55K1 (no relation to order).
First of all, we can see the price comparison of these new Internet TV products. Among them, the popular and micro-whale TV prices include annual resource fees, so that we can directly watch the online charging content on TV, and users want to If you watch member resources on PPTV and Storm TV, you still need to pay again. Of course, this is based on your own needs.
For netizens and consumers, when we go to shop or learn about an Internet TV, we may be more likely to focus on the video content and entertainment experience. Of course, at the same time, the details such as picture quality and picture color will actually be Concern, but the subtle changes have taken place.
Therefore, the most important thing in our selection of Internet TVs is to look at the three elements of appearance, content and quality. Today, we present all four TVs in a comprehensive perspective.
Comparison of appearance
First of all, we compare the appearance of television products, in fact, the current appearance of commercial TV products mainly to the ultra-thin, narrow side of this type of simple design style rely on, of course, we are not close to this evaluation is this type of product For example, the integration of the speaker body, full-featured wedge-shaped design, etc., may make everyone re-recognize the stylish fashion of the most fashionable special shape.
In fact, we can see that including the Storm 55B, the popular 55-inch and the small whale WTV55K1 are all in the simple design style, then PPTV 55T can actually be added to the external speaker in the base part, so it may make us look at first sight. There are some "alternative" feelings.
During the shooting process, there was a mistake in the delivery of the micro whale, so we could only shoot in one store. Due to the limitation of shooting conditions, some photographs may have inevitable reflection phenomenon. I hope to understand.
Whole body rose gold color, magnesium alloy material frame with drawing process more stylish. Compared to other products, the rounder, more rounded frame design also looks very soft.
· Popular 55 TV
The use of injection molding material frame, the overall design of simple, generous, 45-degree cut angle, integrated frame design is also allows us to feel the popularity of the TV frame work under the energy.
·PPTV 55T
The fuselage frame adopts the wedge design, the thickness of the fuselage increases continuously from the top to the bottom, of course, this is also in order to have enough space to be able to add the SoundBar and reserve under the PPTV 55T TV. This unique design was also used by other brands before. The metal wire drawing process in conjunction with the splicing process generally gives a thicker and calmer feeling.
· Micro whale WTV55K1
Micro Whale WTV55K1 adopts a very narrow aluminum alloy frame, and at the same time handles the surface of the frame by anodizing, which makes it more scientific and technological sense overall.
The embedded triangle bracket metal base also uses a rose gold color scheme, but the base of this TV is for us to embed it on the TV back panel and then install it.
· Popular 55 TV
Simple triangular bracket metal base, installation and design are still close to the mainstream television products, can play a solid role in the fuselage.
·PPTV 55T
The PPTV 55T base has a symmetrical geometry. Of course, if the user purchases a home theater, we can also install the speaker in this position. The base part mainly uses the frosting process, but the silver cut angle and the fuselage frame color match are very good, which makes it look more calm and fashionable.
· Micro whale WTV55K1
The base is called the sexy high-heeled shoes. The front part of the base is made of high-glossy metal, while the second half is made of metal scrubbing technology. In general, it is indeed the most fashionable fashion fashion mix.
1. The Storm 55B TV separates the screen from the host, which can make the TV backboard even thinner. At the same time in the host part we can also upgrade the TV itself through the module;
2. Three parts of the backplane of the fuselage are transparent and visible. Through the details we can observe the internal structure of the Storm 55B TV;
3, the fuselage button adopts the rocker type design, through the direction of sliding can achieve simple control of the TV.
· Popular 55 TV
1. popular 55-inch TV body using injection molding material, Champagne gold part of the use of bright-face drawing process, ivory part is an ordinary process;
2. The back of the fuselage interface has a cover to allow it to "hide", after connecting the interface configuration, as long as the cover is placed so that we can not see the back of the interface.
·PPTV 55T
1. The back panel adopts the injection drawing process, and the overall design is more suitable for the mainstream television product style;
2. The body button is controlled by four function keys + a joystick button, and the operation is very convenient.
· Micro whale WTV55K1
1. The overall layout of the backplane is almost the same as that of the PPTV 55T. The “mascot†is placed in the center of the backplane. The body button and the body interface are also placed in the right part of the class, so whether you want to pull the thread or use the buttons to remote control TV is very convenient.
Storm 55B TV remote control uses a simple 12-key design. Basically, more important functions are involved. At the same time, “Storm Biu Key†allows the user to customize settings, and the relevant content location can be opened with one key.
· Popular 55 TV
Compared with the number of buttons on the remote control, the number of buttons on the remote control has been increased. This allows us to use the remote control to achieve more functions, and it can also be used as a quick search using the voice buttons.
·PPTV 55T
As the most "special" one, the number of buttons is also the most, so of course, the functions that can be directly implemented are also the most. Want to shop? Click the "shopping" button on the remote control button to jump directly to the Suning e-shop mall page. However, the wide remote control feels normal.
· Micro whale WTV55K1
The same 12-button design, and Storm 55B's main difference is "Biu" and voice keys, while experiencing the voice process can clearly feel this TV's voice recognition is very accurate.
Editing summary
Through the design of some details, it must be felt that Internet TV products are not only synonymous with "cheap", but they are indeed worthy of other companies to learn in some smart interaction and "cross-border mix and match" styles.
Overall, in the aspect of design, we basically continued the minimalist, narrow borders and fashion elements. PPTV 55T is more like a "theater TV". After all, this is in terms of wedge design and speaker layout. The 55-inch TV, which is relatively cheap, has a slight gap from other products in terms of work materials.
Hardware performance test
In this article, we will provide detailed introduction to the hardware performance of the 4 smart TVs, including the Superstorm 55, the popular TV 55, the PPTV 55T, and the whale WTV55K1, and compare the performance of the security Bunny and start the speed comparison. And other tests.
When selecting evaluation products, we did not deliberately emphasize the differences among the four TV hardwares. But it is very interesting that the four TVs use different processor models. The CPU platform structure involved involves ARM Cortex- A9, ARM Cortex-A17, ARM Cortex-A53 processor architecture. Therefore, the comparison of hardware performance makes more sense.
Stormwind 55 Body
Superstorm 55-inch adopts Amlogic crystal morning T866 processor, which is a quad-core 32-bit processor based on ARM Cortex-A9 architecture, clocked at 1.8GHz. The GPU graphics processor uses the Mali-450 MP8 eight-core processor. Although the model is earlier, the 8-core design is still very powerful. The storage part is 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM, which is equivalent to the current high-end TV configuration.
Popular TV 55
The popular 55-inch TV adopts the Mstar Morningstar 6A638 processor, which is a dual-core 64-bit processor based on the ARM Cortex-A53 architecture, clocked at 1.5GHz. The GPU graphics processor uses a Mali-T720 MP2 dual-core processor. The storage part is 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM. It is the only smart TV that still uses a dual-core CPU and 1GB of RAM in the four TVs, so it appears to lack sincerity.
PPTV 55T
PPTV 55T adopts Mstar Morningstar 6A928 processor, and Mstar 6A928 is a processor commonly used in high-end smart TVs. Hardware performance should be said to have greater advantages in four televisions. Based on the ARM Cortex-A17 architecture, the Mstar 6A928 is a quad-core 32-bit processor. The GPU graphics processor uses the Mali-T760MP4 quad-core processor. The storage unit and the Superstorm 55 are 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM.
Little Whale WTV55K1
Microwhale WTV55K1 adopts Mstar Morningstar 6A828 processor, which is a quad-core 64-bit processor based on ARM Cortex-A53 architecture. It also adopts the latest 64-bit operating system (which has a certain impact on running points), with a frequency up to 1.4GHz. . The GPU graphics processor uses the Mali-T450 MP4 quad-core processor. The storage part is 2GB RAM and 8GB ROM.
In the performance evaluation of the security Bunny 6.0.2 version, the Super Storm 55 points scored 30,853 points, the popular TV 55 points scored 12,360 points, the PPTV 55T scored 33,932 points, and the whale WTV55K1 scored 31,180 points. PPTV 55T scored higher, but the difference with the latter two was not significant.
Although the four TVs use different types of processors, the hardware performance PK in the Superstorm 55-inch, PPTV 55T, small whale WTV55K1 running points are more than 30,000 points, reaching the average level of mainstream high-end television.
The running rating of popular TV is relatively low. Dual-core processors and 1GB of RAM are basically sufficient, but they can suffer a lot in performance tests.
Boot speed comparison
At the beginning of the speed test, the Superstorm 55 mph took 26 seconds, the popular TV 55 mile took 36 seconds, the PPTV 55T took 22.87 seconds, and the whale WTV55K1 took 34.67 seconds.
The boot speed is an important part of the user experience, PPTV 55T is still leading, followed by the Storm 55 body. The whale WTV55K1 and the popular TV 55å‹ took more than 30 seconds. The fastest startup PPTV is 14 seconds faster than the slowest.
Editing summary
In the hardware performance comparison test:
PPTV 55T has the best performance in the four Internet TVs, thanks to the Mstar Morningstar 6A928 processor.
However, the small whale WTV55K1, Superstorm 55 body hurry to follow closely on the run points, the same more than 30,000 points, there is no obvious difference in the three TV performance. The popularity of TV 55 was at the bottom of the test due to the backward hardware level.
In the boot speed comparison test:
We can see that the boot speed is positively correlated with the hardware configuration. PPTV 55T strongest hardware configuration to win a lot of championship; popular TV 55-inch backward hardware configuration makes the boot speed and therefore fell to the end.
Boot speed and system optimization are also closely related. Therefore, although the Whale WTV55K1 scored 30,000 points on the run, the boot speed was only 2 seconds higher than the popular 55-inch TV. The system upgrade should be able to improve to less than 30 seconds.
UI experience
For smart TVs, not only should we allow us to experience rich video resources and entertainment content, but the same changes in the way of operation and interactive experience are the criteria for users to evaluate a television “to play coolâ€. Different brands of TV will also develop a unique UI interface based on their understanding of consumer needs. What are the different ways of playing? Let us look at it together.
· Storm 55B TV
Superstorm TV 55B UI is named after “Wind UIâ€. We can use the left and right arrow keys of the remote control to slide the selection panel. When you select a panel and slide the remote controller downward, you will see more detailed content. classification.
Storm 55B TV interface switching effect as a whole smooth, but also through the remote control "Biu" button to quickly customize the function button, so that in general will be more convenient to operate, but currently does not support voice input function.
· Popular TV 55
Popular TV 55å‹UI interface is named after “FUN UIâ€. The up and down direction mainly switches the content of large blocks, such as movies, TV dramas, applications, etc.; the left and right direction mainly switches subdivided content, such as movies, TV drama specific resources, specific APP projects, etc. The overall effect is smooth, while the main layout is more detailed. Everyone can see the BesTV license plate on the top right of the TV. Of course, it is not only a license plate. The main content of the popular TV is BesTV Resources.
·PPTV 55T
PPTV 55T TV equipped with PPOS system, the most important feature is the non-blocking main menu interface, if we are playing the video out of the main interface during the process, then the background part of the video will play a virtual, will not affect the user to miss any details.
· Micro whale W55K1
The micro-whale TV adopts a waterfall-flow page layout. The functions that can be directly implemented are more abundant than those of other TVs. At the same time, the overall interface is relatively beautiful and concise. At the same time, we can also implement simpler and more convenient operations through voice functions.
Editing summary
Although the current smart TV UI design is similar, the main purpose is still used to control the most important functions of the TV, but some very slight differences in the design may give consumers a completely different experience. Such as carousel, voice manipulation, TV optimization and one-click shopping, etc., can bring us a more convenient and intelligent control experience.
Comparison of video content resources
In the construction of video content resources, the four Internet TVs, namely Superstorm 55B, Popular TV 55å‹, PPTV 55T, and Micro Whale WTV55K1, have their own characteristics. The licensees and content support platforms are different, which fully reflects the current differentiation of smart TVs. The competitive landscape.
The 55-inch license plate for television is BesTV BesTV. By BesTV, popular network to provide content resources. A weekly update of 6 new movies, 10 Hollywood movies, and 15 movie movies are also available. The content resources are equally rich.

In the comparison of movie resources:
The most popular movie is the 55-inch movie. Among the five movies, there are four videos that can be watched and the number is the most. The TV itself contains one-year membership service and free high-definition movies are watched within one year.
The micro-whale WTV55K1 is equivalent to the popular TV 55, and there are also four movies to watch. Stormwind Super Body 55B, PPTV 55T followed closely, in the film resource random test performance in general.
In the comparison of TV drama resources:
Storm Super TV 55B, Micro Whale WTV55K1 TV can watch 5 drama resources.
The PPTV 55T can watch 4 of these runners up. The popularity of TV is relatively low.
4K picture quality comparison
In the test quality section, we used static image testing and dynamic video testing to demonstrate the different performances of these TVs in terms of picture quality.
Then we will use the 4K video to compare the picture quality. It is worth mentioning that the popular 55-inch TV does not support the H.264 format 4K video playback, and the body does not have the USB 3.0 interface.
In the first picture, we pay attention to the sky and the lower right halo of the picture. In this comparison, the contrast performance of the microwhale TV should be the best. At the same time, the overall effect of the storm and the PPTV TV is not much different, but the color of the storm TV star is even brighter. some.
In the motion picture, the gap between the television displays under the normal viewing distance is not too large, and some fine waves, stone patterns and other details can be displayed clearly.
I believe that you can clearly feel the difference in the performance of different televisions in terms of color. The storm TV is rich in color, bright in picture and warmer in color; some of the colors on TV hills are slightly white, some deviate from the actual colors, PPTV and micro-whale TV The color of the performance is closer to reality, and the color effect of PPTV is also relatively rich.
Static 4K image capture
Through testing, we can actually observe that the differences in the definition of the above several TVs are not too great. For example, the details such as the bridge hole and the tower in Figure 1 can be clearly displayed.
·color
In terms of color, Superstorm TV is more colorful, and then the difference between the color performance of popular and PPTV TV is not too great, and the color of the micro-whale TV is slightly colder.
Contrast
The best performance in terms of contrast performance should be a small whale TV. The switch from bright and dark fields and over-color effects are all very good, and the color is too natural and soft.
Editing summary
Generally speaking, the performance of the above several TVs in terms of clarity is almost the same, to ensure that the user can normally meet the playback needs of the viewing distance and angle, but there are differences in the color, contrast performance.
Storm TV 55B is more colorful, brighter, and at the same time the color is too natural, and the contrast performance is good; popular 55-inch TVs have slight Caton phenomenon when playing some 4K videos, and popular TV 55-inch color and contrast performance are all common. , To meet the viewing needs of ordinary users; PPTV overall color, contrast and sharpness performance are good; micro-whale TV in the color performance ability is good, while the contrast performance is better than other products, some color is more soft, natural.
How to choose?
Through the above test content, I believe that everyone has a general understanding of these TVs, then how to choose the right one for you? Let us sum up the respective characteristics of these TVs.
· Storm Super TV 55B

Hardware: The Mstar Morningstar 6A828 processor used by the micro-whales gave us a surprise in performance. We thought that the A53 architecture and the A17 architecture of the 6A928 should have a clear performance gap. The result shows a negligible difference, indicating that the micro-whales influence memory chips and other running points. The parts were poured with a lot of sincerity.
Content Updates/Resources: Microwhale TV has in-depth cooperation with Tencent Video on content resources. In 2015, all the cinemas in the theaters, and more than 90% of the hit TV dramas and strong performances, were equally weak.

When selecting evaluation products, we did not deliberately emphasize the differences among the four TV hardwares. But it is very interesting that the four TVs use different processor models. The CPU platform structure involved involves ARM Cortex- A9, ARM Cortex-A17, ARM Cortex-A53 processor architecture. Therefore, the comparison of hardware performance makes more sense.
Hardware performance comparison
Stormwind 55 Body
Superstorm 55-inch adopts Amlogic crystal morning T866 processor, which is a quad-core 32-bit processor based on ARM Cortex-A9 architecture, clocked at 1.8GHz. The GPU graphics processor uses the Mali-450 MP8 eight-core processor. Although the model is earlier, the 8-core design is still very powerful. The storage part is 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM, which is equivalent to the current high-end TV configuration.
Popular TV 55
The popular 55-inch TV adopts the Mstar Morningstar 6A638 processor, which is a dual-core 64-bit processor based on the ARM Cortex-A53 architecture, clocked at 1.5GHz. The GPU graphics processor uses a Mali-T720 MP2 dual-core processor. The storage part is 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM. It is the only smart TV that still uses a dual-core CPU and 1GB of RAM in the four TVs, so it appears to lack sincerity.
PPTV 55T
PPTV 55T adopts Mstar Morningstar 6A928 processor, and Mstar 6A928 is a processor commonly used in high-end smart TVs. Hardware performance should be said to have greater advantages in four televisions. Based on the ARM Cortex-A17 architecture, the Mstar 6A928 is a quad-core 32-bit processor. The GPU graphics processor uses the Mali-T760MP4 quad-core processor. The storage unit and the Superstorm 55 are 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM.
Little Whale WTV55K1
Microwhale WTV55K1 adopts Mstar Morningstar 6A828 processor, which is a quad-core 64-bit processor based on ARM Cortex-A53 architecture. It also adopts the latest 64-bit operating system (which has a certain impact on running points), with a frequency up to 1.4GHz. . The GPU graphics processor uses the Mali-T450 MP4 quad-core processor. The storage part is 2GB RAM and 8GB ROM.
Hardware performance PK results:
In the performance evaluation of the security Bunny 6.0.2 version, the Super Storm 55 points scored 30,853 points, the popular TV 55 points scored 12,360 points, the PPTV 55T scored 33,932 points, and the whale WTV55K1 scored 31,180 points. PPTV 55T scored higher, but the difference with the latter two was not significant.
Although the four TVs use different types of processors, the hardware performance PK in the Superstorm 55-inch, PPTV 55T, small whale WTV55K1 running points are more than 30,000 points, reaching the average level of mainstream high-end television.
The running rating of popular TV is relatively low. Dual-core processors and 1GB of RAM are basically sufficient, but they can suffer a lot in performance tests.
Boot speed comparison
At the beginning of the speed test, the Superstorm 55 mph took 26 seconds, the popular TV 55 mile took 36 seconds, the PPTV 55T took 22.87 seconds, and the whale WTV55K1 took 34.67 seconds.
The boot speed is an important part of the user experience, PPTV 55T is still leading, followed by the Storm 55 body. The whale WTV55K1 and the popular TV 55å‹ took more than 30 seconds. The fastest startup PPTV is 14 seconds faster than the slowest.
In the hardware performance comparison test:
PPTV 55T has the best performance in the four Internet TVs, thanks to the Mstar Morningstar 6A928 processor.
However, the small whale WTV55K1, Superstorm 55 body hurry to follow closely on the run points, the same more than 30,000 points, there is no obvious difference in the three TV performance. The popularity of TV 55 was at the bottom of the test due to the backward hardware level.
In the boot speed comparison test:
We can see that the boot speed is positively correlated with the hardware configuration. PPTV 55T strongest hardware configuration to win a lot of championship; popular TV 55-inch backward hardware configuration makes the boot speed and therefore fell to the end.
Boot speed and system optimization are also closely related. Therefore, although the Whale WTV55K1 scored 30,000 points on the run, the boot speed was only 2 seconds higher than the popular 55-inch TV. The system upgrade should be able to improve to less than 30 seconds.
UI experience
For smart TVs, not only should we allow us to experience rich video resources and entertainment content, but the same changes in the way of operation and interactive experience are the criteria for users to evaluate a television “to play coolâ€. Different brands of TV will also develop a unique UI interface based on their understanding of consumer needs. What are the different ways of playing? Let us look at it together.
First of all, we have made a brief introduction to different TV UIs. We can see that regardless of the type of layout, the basic functions will include live broadcasts, videos, applications, and other entertainment content, mainly to provide users with a more Convenient and easy to learn simple control mode.
· Storm 55B TV
Superstorm TV 55B UI is named after “Wind UIâ€. We can use the left and right arrow keys of the remote control to slide the selection panel. When you select a panel and slide the remote controller downward, you will see more detailed content. classification.
The homepage of the interface includes a carousel channel, recommendation of TV and movie resources, and application and personal settings. Through the rotation program, we can watch the contents of the 24-hour carousel program of 10 Internet rotation channels.
Storm 55B TV interface switching effect as a whole smooth, but also through the remote control "Biu" button to quickly customize the function button, so that in general will be more convenient to operate, but currently does not support voice input function.
· Popular TV 55
Popular TV 55å‹UI interface is named after “FUN UIâ€. The up and down direction mainly switches the content of large blocks, such as movies, TV dramas, applications, etc.; the left and right direction mainly switches subdivided content, such as movies, TV drama specific resources, specific APP projects, etc. The overall effect is smooth, while the main layout is more detailed. Everyone can see the BesTV license plate on the top right of the TV. Of course, it is not only a license plate. The main content of the popular TV is BesTV Resources.
The user can use the "little helper" button on the TV's remote control to achieve a number of functions such as memory management of the TV, garbage disposal, and organizing the APP. At the same time, the popular 55-inch TV supports voice remote control. In this case, it may be more convenient to search for some movies, TV shows, etc.
·PPTV 55T
PPTV 55T TV equipped with PPOS system, the most important feature is the non-blocking main menu interface, if we are playing the video out of the main interface during the process, then the background part of the video will play a virtual, will not affect the user to miss any details.
The interface switching effect of PPTV 55T should be said to be very smooth. At the same time, users are allowed to select the main functional areas through cross directions, including special sections such as La Liga, shopping, and selected shows.
· Micro whale W55K1
The micro-whale TV adopts a waterfall-flow page layout. The functions that can be directly implemented are more abundant than those of other TVs. At the same time, the overall interface is relatively beautiful and concise. At the same time, we can also implement simpler and more convenient operations through voice functions.
It can be seen that the classification of the large-scale whale television is very simple and clear, because this TV did not pull out the detailed movies and TV dramas, etc., but through live broadcasting, personal, recommendation, classification (film classification), and application. As the plates are divided, overall, the functions of the large plates are more, and the classification is relatively more detailed.
Editing summary
Although the current smart TV UI design is similar, the main purpose is still used to control the most important functions of the TV, but some very slight differences in the design may give consumers a completely different experience. Such as carousel, voice manipulation, TV optimization and one-click shopping, etc., can bring us a more convenient and intelligent control experience.
