“When it comes to the big market,†the smart TV market seems to have followed the big screen trend when the mobile phone market is developing towards the big screen. A while ago, it turned out to be a 120-inch giant screen TV. Looking at the price, the numbers are quite scary. The writer can't help but wonder if this is a TV or an eyeball? Many manufacturers now believe that only large screens can bring better experiences to users. Indeed, the idea itself is correct, but out of consideration for the market, 55å‹ has become the mainstream choice among consumers, and this size has been fully able to meet user needs. And television does not have a very high replacement rate like a mobile phone.
The microwhale did not follow the public's style this time. Based on the original 55-inch WTV55K1, it did not introduce a larger screen, but instead brought us a 43-inch “small steel cannonâ€. The microwhale thinks that it is less attractive for users to re-introduce TVs of larger sizes, but instead launches a blank area product that other Internet companies do not have (43%). To leave the product aside, at least the micro whale is still wise enough to do a development strategy.
As the second Internet TV of Microwhale, the WTV43K1 is a small-sized product, but its configuration in all aspects is very eye-catching. Especially the LG 4K hard screen and the 64-bit SOC's luxury configuration are much higher than the industry average. The microwhale WTV43K1 is also worthy of the title of “small steel cannonâ€. We also got this new product of the micro whale in the evaluation room at Zhongguancun for the first time. We will introduce you to this “small cannon†from various angles.
Subtle prescriptions ingeniously whale WTV43K1 appearance
In terms of appearance, the Whale WTV43K1 basically continued the 55-inch version of the style, the most important change is the color of the product above. In the bottom frame of the TV, the original black color has changed into a local gold color scheme. At the same time, nano-spraying technology has been used on the surface. The rich metal feels like a sigh. The overall appearance is low-key and luxurious. Practical simplicity and low-key have always been the pursuit of the quality of micro whale, and the micro whale WTV43K1 shows this characteristic very well.
In terms of frame and body thickness, the Whale WTV43K1 also maintains its ultra-narrow frame and lightweight design concept. This is also abandoning the 7-degree mold common in the industry. Instead, it uses the same mold technology of Apple TV to achieve the true level of the border. At the same time, high-gloss “cutting†and fine-brushing textures were used on the ultra-narrow frame, which finally exhibited three effects: drawing, sanding, and high-gloss. The plastic material also has a strong texture.
The whale WTV43K1 used herringbone styling for its base. The overall look was simple and stable. The application of dust-free nano-spraying technology on the surface also has a very strong metallic feel that blends into the bottom frame. At the same time, there is a very concealed power lamp on the right side of the bottom frame. During the evaluation, the author discovered that the power lamp will only turn on white light in the moment of power-off, which is also to bring better response to the user.
The back of the TV is also very concise, outsourcing a black plastic case with fixed screws around it. The heat vent is located in the upper part of the fuselage and is recessed. It does not waste space. At the same time, TV is also equipped with a five-dimensional navigation bar in case of need. The whale WTV43K1 has a rich interface. The commonly used interfaces are on the side. There are two USB3.0, HDMI2.0 and audio output interfaces. Interfaces that do not need to be frequently plugged in are located at the bottom. There are SPDIF, network, AV input, HDMI2.0 (ARC), UART, antenna, equipped with two HDMI2.0 and two USB3.0 can absolutely meet the daily needs of users.

Voice recognition is so high that even third-party installed applications can easily recognize and follow voice instructions. The voice assistant function undoubtedly greatly facilitates the use of the television and the operation of the elderly and children, and can find the necessary content in one step.
Microwhale WTV43K1 also has multi-screen interconnection. No matter if it is a mobile phone, a Pad or a computer can be screencasted to a TV, and the operation steps are very simple. Taking the iPhone as an example, the user only needs to open the control menu of the mobile phone, open the Airplay option, and select the default "microwhales in the living room" option, so that the contents of the mobile phone can be screencasted to the TV.

Hi-Fi-quality sound cannons are naturally rich in music video resources. Music MVs that cover the music charts of various countries, some of the more rare music video resources, are also included in the micro whale. Nowadays, the film's episode Five Rings Song is also no exception. At the same time, we can see from the screen shots that the screen is very clear, and the user can also select high definition or super clear quality according to the speed of the network.
At the same time, based on the openness of the system, we can also expand the content of resources by installing a third-party application market such as sofa butler (http://), whether it be video, music, games or education, fitness, etc. The earth enriches our daily life.
