Millet TV 2S has made a corresponding upgrade from a millet 2 video. The first step is to increase the screen to 49 inches and upgrade to 4K resolution, and have an independent Soundbar audio, subwoofer, etc. Of course, then What experience can it bring, and is it worth updating? How about Xiaomi TV 2S?
The screen is increased to 49 inches and upgraded to 4K resolution. It also provides independent soundbars, subwoofers, and humanized functions such as a “buzzer†remote controller.
Millet TV 2S is the most luxurious design model in the millet TV family. It uses a full-metal body design. The front frame, sides, and back panel are all made of metal materials. The 9.9mm extreme slim figure is also refreshed. Millet TV's own thickness record can match the slimmer fuselage of the mobile phone with a multi-color aluminum frame absolute literary youth favorite.
This Xiaobian mainly introduces the functions of Xiaomi TV 2S, as well as picture quality.
Functional evaluation
Millet TV 2S bottom of the fuselage designed a touchpad, touch the control button can be ejected, left and right can be switched, you can switch machine, volume control, select the access data source (such as HDMI/AV, etc.), and control 3D display mode.
Of course, the above function is undoubtedly more convenient with the remote control. The most useful function of the touchpad is also the function of “buzzer retrievingâ€. Activation can make the remote controller make a sound, and there is no need to worry about losing the remote controller everywhere.
Regarding this setting interface, I believe that the users who have watched the first generation of millet TV are not unfamiliar with it, or they are the network, image and sound, security, general settings, system upgrades, and about the six major items, but the original “security†is changed to more. Detailed "accounts and security" only.
Because with the independent SoundBar audio, the audio output of the Xiaomi TV 2S is added to the “millet home theater†option. Of course, Xiaomi TV also supports built-in speakers.
The new system also provides a child lock function, which needs to answer 5 arithmetic problems when unlocked.
In the "HD player", you can view U disk files, download videos, and shared files on the LAN.
In addition, the millet TV 2S is also perfectly adapted to Xiaomi's routing and integrates the Thunder Router download service. After the account is bound, you can download movies to Xiaomi's routers through Thunder App, Thunder Movie Theater, and Xiaomi TV 2 can watch downloaded movies directly through Wi-Fi.
When the video is played, clicking the menu will pop up a rich set of items on the left side of the screen, including "screen ratio", "track selection", "subtitle setting", "play setting", "Dolby sound effect", etc., eliminating the need to enter the "settings" Trouble.
We know that the quality of the TV is determined by the combination of the LCD panel, backlight module, and image enhancement technology. According to official information, Xiaomi TV 2 uses LG, China Star Optoelectronics 4K LCD screen resolution of 3840X2160. At the same time use Rui Yi backlight module to ensure accurate color. In addition, quality enhancement technology is provided to perform color correction, noise reduction, and edge sharpening on the screen.
Millet TV 2S uses a 49-inch 4K screen with a pixel density of 90 PPI, which is twice that of the first generation. When you look closely, the pixels are still clearly visible, but they are much more delicate than before.
At the beginning of the announcement, Xiaomi TV had also been questioned by pseudo 4K (namely RGBW LCD alignment mode). The official subsequently conducted a rumor, claiming that it was indeed an RGB pattern arrangement and came up with a CESI 4K certificate.
Can also be found through proofs amplification, millet TV 2S is indeed a true 4K RGB array, the specific physical resolution is: 3840XRGBX2160.
The actual test, playing 30fps 4K video (48857Kbps) is very smooth, the picture is not stuck, there is no smear distortion phenomenon.
It must be said that the experience of playing 4K video on the TV is quite alike. Analogy is equivalent to the switch from the functional resistance screen to the retina screen. It will inevitably lead to the feeling that you do not want to see 720P HD video.
Of course, the current 4K source is still relatively small, and the domestic network conditions do not allow direct 4K online playback, which greatly restricts the 4K viewing experience. However, 4K is bound to be the trend of the future for some time, 8K TV is out, you can say 4K is out of reach?
Although there are three colors that can be adjusted in the “Image Settingsâ€, the default screen color saturation of the Millet TV 2S is higher, and it is more ruddy when the face is displayed, and it is visually relatively satisfactory.
In order to control the thickness of the body, Xiaomi TV 2S still uses side-entry LED backlight design, but the test did not find the uneven distribution of brightness, the screen did not find a dead pixel.
Millet TV 2S uses the LG IPS HD screen, which can theoretically reach 178 degrees in terms of visibility. However, considering the viewing effect and the reflective light factor, there is no problem to watch within 150 degrees.
Millet TV 2S acts as a monitor for PS4 and other game consoles. It is also a good choice. Although the PS4 game does not reach 4K resolution, the excellent display effect and ultra-narrow design of Xiaomi TV 2 make the player's immersion greatly increased.
Millet soundbar length of 87.4cm, using metal one-piece housing, work slim and strong, in his hands quite a share. It also has 6 built-in full-range speakers and 2 silk-film tweeters. The former uses a top-up design to provide better surround effects, while the latter makes the sound smoother and smoother.
Regarding the subwoofer, since it is connected to the TV via Bluetooth, the entire body has only one power cord, which is much more concise than an audio cable. However, each successful connection will have a female voice saying "the subwoofer is connected successfully." Although the voice is sweet, the volume is relatively large and it is shocking to be surprised.
And in the actual playback experience, the subwoofer's subwoofer feels less domineering than the appearance volume. Of course, the living room is not a shopping mall and does not need the effect of ground shaking. Its performance is still worthy of recognition.
Back left temperature
Central temperature at the back
Right temperature on the back
Temperature control, millet TV 2S fever is still located on both sides of the high temperature on the lower right side of the back, reaching 44 degrees, the left side also exceeded 41 degrees, the middle part is only about 36 degrees.
to sum up
From these days of experience, Xiaomi TV 2S has made great progress in hardware, design, and human-computer interaction. For example, the 4K screen brings unprecedented exquisite feelings. The independent Soundbar audio and subwoofer are watching and listening to songs. It brings much better sound than the built-in speakers, giving people a stronger sense of immersion.
In terms of human-computer interaction, the TV body does not have a button. Instead, a bottom touchpad is added. By tapping and sliding the two gestures, operations such as turning on and off, adjusting the volume, and selecting an access source can be performed. And it is worth mentioning that the new version of the remote control on the basis of adhering to the 11-key layout, the infrared radio frequency will be changed to Bluetooth connection, no longer subject to angle constraints, and integrated "buzzer back" function, giving us very easy to use Big surprise.
However, the latest MIUI TV has many improvements in the interaction, such as the movie details interface will prompt the current number of people watching the movie, but also scrolling to display other user's comments, etc., to the user's viewing decisions Quite interesting and decision-making advice.
Overall, the price of 2999 yuan still has an excellent price/performance ratio in the field of 4K television configuration, and this price includes audio and subwoofer. Given the scarcity of current 4K sources, if you already have a 1080P TV you don't need to rush to replace it. If you are planning to throw away your old home TV, consider taking one step. Of course, after the first generation test, we really hope that Xiaomi TV 2S can buy some better.
