Evaluation of 4K Smart TV on W55C Curved Surface of Micro Whale-Packaging &; attachment
Due to the curved screen, the W55C is nearly 10cm thicker than the 55-inch "flat" model before the micro whale. The material is still low-key ordinary cardboard, and the packaging form is the two-stage design of "upper cover and lower cover" adopted by the micro whale model over 49 inches.
▲ W55C packaging box of micro whale is a two-stage design of "upper sleeve and lower sleeve".
▲ There are handle openings on both sides of the packaging box of the micro whale W55C.
In addition to the brand LOGO, customer service phone number and official WeChat QR code printed on the box, energy efficiency and product information labels are also attached to the upper right corner and lower right corner of the box. From the latter, it can be confirmed that W55C, like the 40-inch and 49-inch models recently released by Micro Whale, are made by Huizhou TCL Overseas Electronics.
▲ The micro whale W55C is manufactured by Huizhou TCL Overseas Electronics.
▲ There is also a square sealing sticker on the top cover of the micro whale W55C box.
In addition, there is a square sealing sticker (gospel of unpacking party ...) on the top cover of the packaging box of the micro whale W55C. Before unpacking, the old editor suggested that two people should handle and install the package according to the government's suggestion, and read the instructions carefully, carefully and carefully.
On the front of W55C packaging box, you can see three thick pieces of foam plastic.
▲ On the back of W55C packaging box, you can see the supporting paper column with the same height.
After opening the packaging box, we can see that the body and accessories of the micro whale W55C are "properly" fixed in the packaging box by three thick foam plastics and a supporting paper column with the same height. In this way, even through the "China characteristics" express delivery and logistics distribution, the TV can be guaranteed to be intact when consumers receive it.
▲ The W55C box of micro whale is also printed with the pattern of making whale rocking chair.
▲ The packaging box featuring micro whales "transforms" the whale rocking chair.
In the aspect of "transformation" of the packaging box with micro whale characteristics, although the packaging box size of W55C is larger than any micro whale model on the market at present. But the box is still printed with patterns. After consumers simply cut and assembled it, a lovely whale rocking chair appeared.
▲ Mini Whale W55C's split standard parts carton W
▲ Standard accessories for micro whale W55C.
In addition to the TV set which is divided into two parts: the base and the screen, there is also a carton in the packaging box of the micro whale W55C, which contains standard accessories such as remote control, power cord, A/V adapter, manual and so on. Here, the editor briefly introduces some main accessories.
▲ The standard power cord of the micro whale W55C is still provided by Conan Electronics.
▲ The plugs at both ends of the standard power cord of the micro whale W55C are designed in an inverted L shape.
The 1.5m power cord conforming to the 60227 RVV IEC 52 standard is still provided by Conan Electronics, and the plugs at both ends are designed in an inverted L shape. In this way, when the TV is installed on the wall and connected to the wall socket, the situation that the power cord is excessively bent and occupies adjacent jacks can be avoided.
▲ Standard remote control of micro whale W55C
▲ The standard remote control model of the micro whale W55C is still BRC077.
In terms of standard remote control, W55C also adopts BRC077, which is the same as most models of micro whales. Equipped with Broadcom's latest low-power Bluetooth (BLE)4.0 scheme, it still has the directionless remote control capability of 10m and the standby time is not less than that of the traditional infrared remote controller.
▲ The micro whale W55C comes standard with a microphone integrated on the top of the remote control for voice interaction.

Evaluation of 4K Smart TV on W55C Curved Surface of Micro Whale-Appearance &; Engagement/interface
In terms of design, the micro whale W55C is in the same strain as the W49F released in May this year. The sleek and simple narrow frame body perfectly blends with the elegant bridge seat, showing the "Gao Fushuai" temperament of curved 4K smart TV.
▲ The micro whale W55C is in the same strain as the W49F released in May this year.
▲ The sub-black metal front frame is almost consistent with the screen background color.
Because the color of the sub-black metal front frame is almost the same as the background color of the screen, it is difficult to detect its existence when viewed from a normal distance. In addition, a "Breathing" indicator light is arranged in the black bar area below the center of the bottom of the front frame, which lights up during startup/standby. This superposition of various effects can bring consumers a more "textured" visual experience.
▲ A "Breathe" indicator light is arranged in the black bar area below the center of the front frame.
▲ Hole-shaped hollowing technology is adopted on both sides below the front frame.
In addition, although the W55C speaker is installed in a "down-mounted" way, the two sides below the front frame are hollowed out, so to some extent, the problem that the reflected sound quality of the lower speaker is distorted due to different desktop materials placed on the narrow-frame TV is improved.
▲ The dark gray frosted metal bridge base of the micro whale W55C.
▲ The base of the micro whale W55C also adopts an inverted Y-shaped design similar to W49F.
As for the supporting structure, the dark gray frosted metal bridge bases on both sides of the fuselage also adopt an inverted Y-shaped design similar to W49F. After inserting the pedestal pillar into the corresponding jack at the bottom of the fuselage, connect and fix it with four standard hexagon screws (standby 1) and L-shaped hexagon screws.
▲ L/R marks are engraved on the two pedestal pillars, and the rhombic direction of the cross section is also different.
▲ The non-rotating base near 1.2m ensures the stability and safety of the support to the greatest extent.
Because the two pedestal pillars are engraved with L/R marks, and the rhombic direction of the cross section is also different, it can effectively avoid the left-right sequence error when installing the pedestal. At the same time, the non-rotating base near 1.2m will cause inconvenience in some cases, but it also ensures the support stability and safety of 17.2kg W55C to the greatest extent.
▲ The stepped integral shell of the micro whale W55C made of black engineering plastic.
▲ Two treaty 1m strip cooling grooves are designed on the back of the micro whale W55C.

▲ Product information label in the center of the back of the micro whale W55C.
▲ The micro whale W55C still designed four special screw holes for wall hanging.
Secondly, although it is a curved TV, W55C has designed special screw holes for wall hanging on both sides of the LOGO and product information label in the center of the back shell. By the way, the official recommended wall hanging service fee of Micro Whale is only 169 yuan (including the hanger), which is definitely "kind" among many TV brands.
▲ All I/O interfaces of the micro whale W55C are arranged in the square groove on the right side of the back of the fuselage.
▲ The old editor feels that the I/O interface configuration of the micro whale W55C is still a bit "thin".
All I/O interfaces of W55C are arranged in the square groove on the right side of the back of the fuselage. As the first curved 4K smart TV for micro whale, there are only HDMI 2.0( 1 with arc function) ×2, A/V× 1, RF/DTMB× 1, USB 3.0×2, headphones /SPDIF× 1 and RJ45× 65.
▲ Five-dimensional OSD key on the lower right of the back of the micro whale W55C.
▲ A cooling/speaker slot and a power switch are also designed at the bottom of the back shell of the micro whale W55C.
In the protruding part below the I/O interface groove, there is an OSD button with micro whale characteristics. Because the same five-way physical keys as those on the standard remote controller are adopted, consumers will basically not have "misoperation" when using their controls. Finally, at the bottom of the back shell of the W55C, the micro whale also designed a strip-shaped heat sink/speaker slot, and the left side is still equipped with a rocker power switch.
Evaluation of 4K Smart TV on W55C Curved Surface of Micro Whale-Workmanship &; material
As the first curved 4K smart TV owned by Micro Whale, what is the specific hardware configuration of W55C? Then the old editor will take you to find out. First, remove 24 screws with different specifications on the back shell of the fuselage connecting the frame and the panel, and you can see the materials and layout inside the fuselage.

Evaluation of 4K Smart TV on W55C Curved Surface of Micro Whale-Image Quality &; Operating point
It takes four pages to introduce the packaging, accessories, appearance, interface, workmanship, materials, system and content of the micro whale W55C, but as the saying goes, "Take it or run". So next, the old editor will test the basic performance of this 55-inch curved 4K smart TV through a series of pictures, videos and software.
▲ In the basic test of the micro whale W55C LCD screen, [Image]-[Scene Mode] was set to the default [Standard Mode].
In the basic test of LCD screen, the old editor used HDMI-HDMI to connect the micro whale W55C with the computer, and put [Scene Mode] and [Dynamic Backlight] in [Image and Sound] in [Standard Mode] and [Off] respectively. After all, consumers will have more such situations in their daily use. .
▲ The micro whale W55C shows a screenshot of the tricolor map.
After preheating for 30 minutes, it can be seen from the pictures taken on the screen of three primary colors that W55C has the best visual color performance, followed by red and slightly darker green.
▲ Test the color gamut coverage of micro whale W55C with Spyder 5 ELITE colorimeter.
In terms of color gamut, after testing with Spyder 5 ELITE colorimeter, it can be seen that the curved 4K LCD screen used by W55C can reach 100% and 85% coverage on sRGB and NTSC respectively, and its performance is quite excellent. Higher than the average level of general wide-angle TV.
▲ The micro whale W55C can reach 100% sRGB and 85% NTSC coverage.
In the white picture for testing the color and brightness uniformity of the LCD screen, the micro whale W55C is quite satisfactory. Visually, the center of the panel is slightly brighter than the surrounding area. However, in the black picture of the light leakage distribution of LCD, we can see that the light leakage is still slight.
▲ The micro whale W55C shows a screen shot of black and white pictures.
Gray and color screen tests have been used to evaluate the gray transition and black-and-white conversion ability of LCD screens. The more obvious the contrast, the stronger the TV's ability to process color pictures. As can be seen from the screen photos, the details of the bright and dark parts of the W55C display screen are good, and the color gradation transition has reached the upstream level of the current TV.
▲ The micro whale W55C shows a screenshot of the color scale and gray scale.
Of course, it is impossible to test the image quality of curved 4K smart TV only by using these conventional projects. Next, the old editor also played it with USB interface, and showed the test chart made by Professor Qian Yuankai, a member of China Photographers Association and a famous photographic equipment expert. W55C can accurately and conveniently detect the effect of 4K TV.
▲ Screenshot of "4K TV resolution test chart" displayed by Wei Whale W55C.
It can be seen from the first screen shot of "4K TV Resolution Test Diagram" including characters, line drawings, resolution table and color block structure that this curved 4K a-Si TFT LCD screen of W55C really meets the resolution requirement of 3840x2 160.
▲ Micro Whale W55C shows a screenshot of "4K TV Tone Level Restoration Test Chart"
And the second test chart of tonal gradation reduction of 4K TV. Generally, 4K TV should be able to display the gradation of 8 and 253 in the light and dark parts, and the gradation distribution chart and spherical chart can also display all the gradations, among which W55C can easily achieve a small "transcendence" result.
▲ Micro Whale W55C shows a screenshot of "4K TV color performance and viewing angle test chart"
Finally, when playing the third picture of 4K TV color representation and viewing angle test, W55C completely reached the ideal state when displaying the 24 color blocks of the left HSB color system and the color distribution maps of R, G, B, Y, C and M, only on two color ball maps, there was a slight annular stratification.
▲ Wei Whale W55C's "Ann Bunny Evaluation TV v6.0. 1" ran off.
In the confirmation of hardware performance level, the old editor can't "avoid custom" but use the common running software "Ann Bunny evaluates TV v6.0. 1". From the results, the score of W55C exceeds 2W7 (approximately equal to Samsung Galaxy S4). Although it will be about 6K~2W points lower than the products using MSD6A9 18/928 and the latest MSD6A938 (online data), it is at least more than RMB1000. Do you think it is unnecessary to smooth the operation conclusion in the previous chapter?
▲ Results of micro whale W55C "Ann Bunny Video Test Version 3.0".
Finally, regarding the compatibility of playing video through USB interface, the old editor tested the micro whale W55C with Ann Bunny video test v3.0 From the test details, the hard decoding ability of Mstar MSD6A828 processor is really quite powerful. Of the 30 different video/audio coding and packaging formats, only two are uncommon and cannot be supported.
▲ Only two uncommon videos cannot be supported.
Because most of Ann Bunny's video test v3.0 only tests videos with the resolution of 1920x 1080, the editor also downloaded 7 pieces of 4K videos with different resolutions, video/audio coding, frame number, code rate and channel on the network, and played them through USB interface to test the ability of the micro whale W55C.
▲ Micro Whale W55C5USB 4K Video Playback Test
Through the actual screen capture video, we can see that there is no sound when playing a 4K video encapsulated by MKV of AVC, 120fps, 100Mbps, DTS-ES, 6. 1ch, BT, and all other 4K videos can be played smoothly on W55C without exception.
Summary: As the first curved 4K smart TV launched by Micro Whale, W55C still has some shortcomings, such as less I/O interfaces, non-top hardware configuration, and inability to adjust the scene mode (when playing online video). However, in the eyes of old editors, with "sufficient" hardware configuration, "easy-to-use" software design and "massive" content resources, the micro whale W55C is still one of the first choices to enter the curved surface 4K era. Of course, if you have planned to buy a curved 4K smart TV with larger size and higher configuration, the old editor suggested that you consider it again when the second 78-inch split curved 4K smart TV of Micro Whale was released on September 30th.
