On March 21st, the 4th generation of Xiaomi TV was released. It was thought that this would be the 4th series of Xiaomi TV which was unveiled at CES 2017. However, the final announcement was Xiaomi TV 4A. According to the introduction of Xiaochuan TV's director Wang Chuan at the conference, The previously unveiled millet TV 4 was just Plan B. This is a brand new series of TVs, which is the A plan in the warm-up posters. Compared with Plan B, it pays more attention to the price/performance ratio and further lowers the price of the industry as a whole. The start price of the millet TV, such as today's 55-inch version to be evaluated, the standard version price is only 3199 yuan, cheaper than the previous generation of 3s models when the initial listing price.
Millet TV 4A 55 inches Price from 3199 yuan >> Click to buy  After the price is lowered, the configuration of Xiaomi TV's 4A part will certainly be reduced. There is nothing to be said. It is worth noting that with the formal entry of voice function, this TV has evolved from an artificial intelligence TV to an artificial intelligence voice TV, and further upgraded. The control experience of smart TV, what is the difference between it and other TV's voice function? This evaluation will answer you. No highlights of the design Millet TV 4A did not extend the ultra-thin all-metal body of its predecessor model. The base also adopted a brand-new design language. The official website's introduction of the technology has changed from the 'double 45° drilling process frame metal back' to the 'positive use'. Corrosion process, the back of the metal paint process ', the machine is more familiar with the place only the bottom of the logo and the lights and the key below.  Millet TV 4A 55 inches appearance  Narrow border design The plastic frame adopts the etched pattern process to enhance the texture. The thinnest part is 12.3mm, and the thickest part of the machine is 75.7mm. If wall-mounted, millet TV 4A effect is certainly not as good as 3s, especially other models with separate design, but if It's on the table. I don't think it's that big.   Plastic one-piece base
Compared with the previous generation of high-profile metal bases, plastic bases are less arrogant and cold, but they are more solid and stable, and the curve design is not tedious. For this 55-inch millet TV 4A, the new base The design still requires a desktop width of 120 cm or more, which is less sensitive to width requirements than the previous 'Y' base.  Hide the switch button under the logo The center of the bottom border is still the 'MI' logo. The raised position integrates the infrared function and the switch button. This is the only physical button on the TV. It is very concealed, which ensures the integrity of the TV and at the same time solves the problems on both sides. Need to touch to find trouble.  The upper part uses a metal baking process Behind the fuselage is still very simple, the upper part of the metal paint process, more durable than the common plastic back shell.  Body interface layout The interface includes network, three HDMI2.0, two USB2.0, antenna, AV input and S/PDIF. There is no regrets about the latest USB3.0. Also note that the specific standard of the HMDI interface is HDMI 2.0a, rating Slightly lower than the HDMI 2.0b used by the 3s model. Compared with the common L-type interface layout of all-in-one models, this type of interface design is more convenient for plugging and unplugging. However, when the wall is mounted, it is not dominant, and it is necessary to reserve a large space for them. Upgrade Bluetooth touch voice remote control  Remote control evolution to third generation With the prominent voice function, the remote control of the Millet TV 4A has also changed. Before the Bluetooth voice sensor remote control put the voice search button and the home button together, and now the voice button is independent, very easy to put on the top of the remote control Location. Another new version of the remote control support touch operation, before the millet box 3s remote control has been equipped with this feature, by clockwise, anti-clockwise stroke can quickly browse PatchWall, a lot more convenient than clicking a line. Millet TV 4A is divided into standard version and artificial intelligence voice version, standard version is equipped with infrared remote control, but can also be purchased separately Bluetooth touch voice remote control (the official website is not on the shelves), it also has infrared function, mainly considering To control the cable set-top box, it has been adapted to 819 cable TV and IPTV operators in 341 cities in China, supporting more than 1,200 cable TV set-top boxes and IPTV set-top boxes, eliminating the need for remote control switching back and forth.
Understand your TV New Voice Interaction Experience In fact, before millet TV 3 models have been equipped with voice capabilities, and with the millet TV 4A appear with a higher degree of voice intelligence, compared to other television experience before the voice function is stronger.  Finally can no longer search by key This search interface is no stranger to anyone. If you want to accurately search for content you want to see on your smart TV, you need to use the remote control to enter letters one by one. Even if you support the first letter of fuzzy search, the input process is not so smooth. Still need to press the delete key, in fact, through the voice search can easily solve the problem, and basically do not have to be limited by age, the elderly, the children will teach.  Voice Search Features     Precise search is easy to achieve for any voice-enabled TV. Millet TV's voice function is much more than that. It can also provide you with interesting content based on keywords, and can even perform some hot rankings, such as high scores. The film, on this basis, can be further screened, such as Oscar-winning, free, paid...
 When looking at films through stars, Xiaomi TV is also very clear about the relationship between celebrities, such as searching for Feng Xiaogang's and his wife's movies. The final result is directly Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan. In the past, the voice function of TV was always to be as much as possible. To simplify the difficulty of the problem, when using this TV, you always want to ask some difficult questions. In fact, it can deal with it in most cases.  WiFi password input In addition, the voice function of Xiaomi TV also solved the 'history problem' of WiFi password input. I couldn't wait to experience this function when I turned on my computer. Since there are capital letters in the password, I can't complete the input by simply saying the password, but say 'Capital S'. 'S' can be found directly afterwards. It is much easier than the original one.     Face algorithm and image understanding In addition, I also found "From Your World Passing" (Visual Identity) to experience its face algorithm and image understanding. You can always ask 'who is this', 'Where is this', or directly search during the viewing? 'Yue Yunpeng chasing car', TV will also jump directly to this shot, this is the exploratory work Xiaomi brain team currently does, has not really mass production, the future is worth the wait. PatchWall puzzle wall countless personalized thematic classification On September 27 last year, with the launch of Xiaomi TV 3s, a new operating system was brought in.

Today, Xiaomi TV has assembled iQiyi, Mango TV. , Tencent video, Sohu video, PPTV and other high quality content of a first-line video site, for the PatchWall puzzle wall to build a solid foundation.  Iqiyi Solo TV Drama  Tencent video alone broadcast variety show  Mango TV Broadcasting Variety  PPTV Sports Resources Although the above parts can also be displayed on other TVs through the installation of independent APPs, they are integrated in artificial intelligence systems on the TVs of Xiaomi, and they will appear at any time. They are not in a state of war. This is its advantage.
Hardware Configuration: Solid enough   60 frames of 4K video normal play
In terms of hardware configuration, Xiaomi TV 4A uses an Amlogic T962 4-core 64-bit processor, the standard version carries 2GB of memory and 8GB of flash memory, and the artificial intelligence voice version of the flash memory expands to 32GB.

It can be seen from high-speed trains that the dynamic performance of this TV is relatively smooth and there is no obvious tailing phenomenon.  Portrait restoration test In the aspect of portrait restoration, the human skin color is real and natural. There is no common reddish phenomenon, and it can be seen that the starting silk is not excessively sharpened, and it looks like it will not feel stiff. Experience summary The first generation of the 4th generation of millet TV was first played on the cost-effective millet TV 4A. Although its performance in appearance, hardware configuration, and quality performance has decreased compared with the previous model, its overall performance is still solid enough. , Artificial intelligence systems that aggregate multiple video platforms are worth seeing.
