MI Millet Millet TV 3 70 Inch Smart LCD TV Unpacking Report

Millet this TV has been on the market for more than a year, Aunt Zhang has not here yet a single sun, it happens to have this opportunity, then come to the first sun plus a simple evaluation. Based on past experiences with Xiaomi's products, I count half a rice noodle, but I don't want everyone to treat the millet in black and white. After all, gold is not enough and people are not perfect.

Sorting process

Truth: TV is getting smaller and smaller. The 46-inch first TV that I bought three years ago was feeling quite big at the time, but I feel it is getting smaller and smaller. Of course, this is due to the increasing size of TVs introduced by TV companies, which are more and more suitable. In the second half of 2016, 65-inch TV prices have also become acceptable. You must have bought a TV or you are ready to buy a TV. You have all seen a guide to TV selection - choosing the TV size based on distance. Now it seems that this is just a guide for manufacturers. And this standard is also bigger than ever. . There are still people who go to the cinema to watch a movie and never think the screen is too big, right? What's more, there are so many 100+ home projectors. Therefore, after recognizing the nature of the matter, I came to the conclusion that the maximum size you can afford is enough for you to buy your home. My living room opened more than 3 meters, 60 inches was passed by me, and the target on the 65+ inch. For this purpose, I specifically collected TV size data. Take Xiaomi TV as an example. The following data comes from the official website of Xiaomi. The width and height of the following include the border portion. Given that the frame of the TV is relatively narrow, it will not affect the comparison result.

In order to let everyone have a more intuitive understanding of the size, I made the following size comparison chart.

You can see the difference of 5 inches. The display area does not seem to be very different. However, comparing the 60 and 70 inches, the first feeling gap is still quite obvious. A rough calculation of the 70-inch display area is 30% larger than the 60-inch display area and goes to the local area. Xiaomi's home looked more like a real contrast.

After some comparisons, it was found that 70-inch LCD TVs are generally more than 10,000 yuan, which is almost double the price of 60-65 inches. The online version is because LCD panels cut 60, 65 inches better. 70-inch cutting is relatively wasteful, so the 60,65 size will be more cost-effective. In view of price/performance considerations, it is ready to start with a 65-inch budget of around 5k-6k.

Then consider the brand. First of all, this is just a personal preference. There are no deliberately belittle other brands. After all, I have not used any of them. Unless they are actually used and have left a very profound impact on me, I will not hesitate to open the black. The televisions of Dafa families have always been recommended by many value-friends, plus all kinds of black technology plus beliefs. Looked at two 65-inch Dafa, 65X7500D everyone is too low-end, might as well buy domestic, slightly more than 65X8500D price on the more than 10,000 yuan, tangled disease has been committed (because poor), compared to millet The 70-inch is also expensive for nearly 3K. I originally budgeted about 6K.

It may be a preconceived notion. The millet box I used to use was almost used for two or three years. The experience of using MIUI TV is still quite good, and I personally experienced the experience of a certain well-known domestic brand TV. After the lean system, if I buy a domestic TV and then use it with a millet box, why not buy a millet TV directly? So, other domestic brands passed.

The plan did not change quickly. After rising in 2017, a wave of unexpected price increases, the 3s 65-inch TV was still out of stock, and only the package version was available, suddenly causing me to lose my desire to buy. In fact, the millet TV 3 70 inch has not increased prices, coupled with the seemingly new and shrinking (s stands for suoshui), so decisively choose 70 inches.

Millet (MI) Millet TV 3 70 Inch Split 4K Ultra HD Smart LCD TV with Standard Host (L70M4-AA) 10299 yuan Jingdong Direct Link

Unpacking/Appearance

Because the logistics master sent TV home to do power check, and the delivery time of the master is also very tight, it has been the fastest speed out of the box power check, the following photos are back shot.

â–¼ Outer box, really big! On the logistics list, it contains 45KG.

â–¼ The production date is 2017.1 months. The TV was bought in mid-February and is still very new.

â–¼ The split body texture is very good, aluminum alloy brushed anodized, feels cold, very heavy, a length of nearly 1 meter, integrated host and audio.

â–¼ host close-up, a few common buttons Needless to say, the host body is not waterproof. The host can be used as a stand-alone speaker under the off-screen TV. MIUI TV supports DLNA and can play music on the phone over the wireless network.

â–¼ Interfaces on the back of the host, which are 3 HDMI 2.0, 1 VGA, 1 AV analog signal, 1 DTMB, one USB 2.0 and one 3.0, 1 Ethernet interface, 1 audio output, support 2.5mm Line Out Connect the subwoofer. For wall-mounted TVs, it is much more convenient to split external devices.

â–¼ TV's real body, really to maximize the principle of buying big or not to buy a small, almost occupied the entire TV cabinet (1.8m), the first feeling is big! ! !

â–¼ The front is very simple, in addition to a mi logo, not even a power light, are integrated into the split host up, the host light source is upward, the white light is not very bright, so the design, the advantage is to watch the movie black environment Under no circumstances will cause light pollution, the disadvantage is that it is more difficult to see the host power. Individuals value the former.

â–¼ On the back of the TV, there is a whole piece of metal on the top, and the bottom part is plastic. The official name is the metal beauty back, which is a lot of high-grade compared to the ordinary TV full plastic back. Due to the split design, the back of the millet TV is very simple, with only the Miport and the power cord interface.

â–¼ TV nameplate, power consumption 270w, three-level energy efficiency, support for DTS and Dobby sound effects, essential for watching high-definition video.

▼ Da Phnom Penh, dual 45° drilling process, giving the border a diamond-like glow (official slogan). I appreciate not to come, just want a black border, low-key point not?

â–¼ The border width is still acceptable. For a 70-inch big TV, the border is still OK. The upper part of the fuselage is also very thin, giving a good visual impression.

â–¼ The herringbone base is also very artistic. It is not bad to put a wall on a TV stand.

â–¼ But wait, looking at it from this perspective looks like a bit of a bend. . . After the Internet search found that other people posted similar situations, the millet official reply did not affect the use, but normal viewing did not have any impact. Is it not that the bigger the screen size, the harder it is to bend?

â–¼ Accessories included with the TV include remote controls, battery, screwdriver, antenna isolator, AV cable, MIPORT, and power cable.

â–¼ Remote control is Bluetooth, this is a more classic design, millet box / TV has been used for generations. Saying that the 3s standard is actually infrared, it is strongly recommended that everyone with a Bluetooth remote control, not too easy to use. However, there is no need to buy a somatosensory body. You don't have to say it and you don't have to use eggs. The previously used millet box 3 comes standard with a somatosensory remote control.

â–¼ Below the left is the power plug, very small. The right side of the MIPORT cable, while powering the host, and data transmission. The connection method is to connect the TV to the power cable, and the TV is connected to the host through the MIPORT cable. There is no need to independently supply power to the split host. Therefore, the host cannot be used on other TVs if it is subsequently upgraded.

â–¼ The last to start the boot map, personally think that the overall value of the millet TV is also good.

Screen/image quality

â–¼ Most millet TVs are LG or Samsung panels, but this 70-inch screen is the original imported Sharp screen, the following posted the official parameter map, several key parameters: greater than 85% NSTC color gamut, refresh Rate 120MHZ, dynamic response 6ms, a little understanding of the principle of LCD display are aware of the importance of these two parameters, simply speaking, the higher the refresh rate, the smoother the picture, the shorter the dynamic response time, the smaller the moving object smear. Compared to domestic (including Xiaomi other size TV) panels commonly used are 60HZ, 8ms higher than a grade, the other online comparison of the same size TV with the same size, millet using the panel looks even better than Sharp's own TV.

In addition to the screen quality, the driver chip is also very important, Sony Dafa is also a good name to give, Sony TV selling point is the sink X1 chip, said that the most powerful TV chip is not an exaggeration. Back to the topic, the TV processing chip provided by Xiaomi TV 3 is from MStar 6A928. It is officially licensed to carry a unique MACE-Pro4 UC+ high-definition image quality engine. It has 12 image quality enhancement technologies, and 10 color enhancement technologies. It supports MEMC dynamic image compensation. . It should be said that this chip is less than enough, it is more than it. How is the actual display effect? ​​Or does the eye actually read it?

â–¼ Light leakage test Light leakage control directly affects the performance of the TV's black level, which affects the contrast. In a word, the light leakage control has a great influence on the display effect. The first time the machine was in the daytime, due to the influence of light, the light leakage was still considered very good. First off directly off TV dynamic backlight, brightness is set to 100%, camera parameters f2, 3s, iso200, all black environment. To be honest, the leakage performance is very general, especially in the lower left corner, and the lower part of the screen is blue!

â–¼ Then test the dynamic backlight to turn it on, the backlight brightness is 50%, and the leakage performance of the full black picture is much better. Maybe I was expecting too much from Xiaomi, and the overall performance of the leak was still not satisfactory. Turn off the lights at night to watch movies. Because of the dark scenes, you will still see some light leakage. Maybe I'm asking too much for the side-entry backlight.

â–¼ Color performance test chart, more than NTSC 85% color gamut also guarantees the color performance of this screen, the test did not find the bad spots and highlights.

â–¼ Static picture comparison, the screen is very clear.

â–¼ video capture pictures, some dark details can be performed. Everyone sees it.

â–¼ Motion blur test, selected a test video of the rhings, the character moves quickly from left to right, the following is not open dynamic compensation. Obviously the fonts have become lumpy.

â–¼ Start dynamic compensation. After opening, the blurring is much better. The difference that the actual eye sees is stronger than the one that was taken out. It does not turn on the dynamic compensation to see the blur, and the eyes are hard to accept.

In addition, when you look at some documentaries, there is a large pan-shift of the camera. Without dynamic compensation, you can feel the flickering of the screen. After you turn it on, the screen immediately becomes stable. It seems that this function is still very useful to me!

â–¼ Input Delay: Connect to the TV to play the game to play some shooting games, action games or instant games, the input delay will be very demanding, usually more than 50ms can feel more obvious input delay. Here also can simply use inputlag to compare the input delay test millet TV, compared to the machine for the macbook pro 13'' 2016 Edition. The test method is to open the mirror display, open the webpage timer, and then use the camera to capture the contrast after the external monitor of the notebook. The default 4K resolution starts dynamic compensation and the picture mode is the default. Compared to the macbook pro, the delay is up to 130ms.

â–¼ 720p resolution, game or sports mode, close the motion compensation, the test found that the delay between 50ms-80ms changes, although much better than the previous set, but this performance is still compared to Sony A lot worse, so game players please decisively choose Sony.

â–¼ Connect the Xbox Racer Sure enough, the feeling of big TV playing games is not the same, there is a kind of shocking pleasure! ! I am not a serious game player, just to experience the kinect to follow the trend to buy the xbox one, of course, Aunt Zhang is the initiator.

▼ Connect the standard mode of telecommunications IPTV image parameters. Some sports programs are football crickets. They haven’t noticed any serious problems.

performance

â–¼ The millet TV 3 is equipped with a MStar 6A928 Cortex-A17 quad-core chip, clocked at 1.4GHz, with a GPU of Mali-760 MP4 4+4 core design, 2GB of DDR3 memory, and 8GB of flash memory. For TV, this configuration is not out of date this year. It should be said that millet TV 3s seems to have continued to shrink. The performance architecture in A17 was changed to A53 low-performance purchase, and the memory was changed from three channels to two channels. In addition, MStar released its own 64-bit top chip 6A938 in 2016. Unfortunately, Xiaomi did not continue to use it for cost reasons.

â–¼ Unnecessary to come to run a point, this score is still quite satisfactory.

â–¼ Just look at this list. The number one Qualcomm 810 used by LeTV was very surprised!

â–¼ Decode Test First look at the official data: support H.265 4K @ 60 frames, H.264 4K @ 30 frames, other decoding H.263 1080P @ 30 frames, MPEG1/2/4 1080P @ 30 frames, VP8 1080P @ 30 Frame, REAL7/8/9 1080P@30 frames, MJPEG 1080P@30 frames. Basically common video formats can support it. From the Internet, some test bit rate 4K test clips, the code rate from 2Mbps, 5Mbps, 10Mbps, 15Mbps, 64Mbps, 80Mbps, 120Mbps, video format HEVC, the actual experience can not only play smoothly, and drag the progress bar at random without card pause. In addition, audio support Dolby and DTS decoding, fully qualified for high-definition playback tasks.

▼ WIFI dual band 2.4/5GHz, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac support Beamforming. Test environment: Telecom broadband 100M, millet router 2 hard disk version, 5G connection, TV and router separated by a wall, using MIUI system comes with network speed. Multiple tests can run at full bandwidth speed. The 4K resource “Planet Earth” that actually experiences online play of Tencent videos is smooth and stress-free.

â–¼ sofa housekeeper comes with third party speed.

â–¼ The boot time, actually almost 20 seconds will enter the advertising screen. I feel so much at boot speed.

system

â–¼ MIUI TV system is really nothing to say, basically the same with the millet box system, after upgrading the PATCH WALL feels more useful, the interface is more concise, with a minimalist design remote control, even the elderly and children can easily learn .

â–¼ Xiao Mi himself does not produce video, he just built a platform to connect each video source, somewhat similar to the Tmall's feeling. It is wise to choose to collaborate with a video site. Basically, various video resources can be found on Xiaomi TV. Buying a variety of video rights is a money-burning activity. In contrast, LeTV has always been short of money. It is not that LeTV's model is not good. It just feels that no one in the video field can achieve a dominance, which is similar to Apple's complete ecosystem. Of course, a lot of content in the millet is charged, which is understandable.

â–¼ Integrated Mi home, you can easily see the various hardware work. Has always felt that Xiaomi Mi's home is a big move in the next step. It brings together a lot of household equipment. With a good user experience and cost-effectiveness, is the user taking priority over the Mi Jia brand when considering similar products?

â–¼ Features: External HDMI, you can open the Mi Jia camera small screen function. Watching TV while playing games while watching the baby is not wrong! !

â–¼ high-definition player, with millet router hard drive version or NAS, download watch is very convenient, automatically download subtitles, much easier than to take a HTPC. A remote control does not return the video source.

â–¼ Freely install the APP, connect to the USB disk through the host usb, or store the disk through the router. It is recommended to install a sofa butler or benedict market.

▼ storage space at a glance, built-in storage 8GB, is too small compared to the music as the 辄32GB, installed some software, the remaining 1G, do not play 啥 装 game installed some app or enough, of course, MIUI TV also supports APP installed to the external USB among them.

â–¼ If you turn on your ads, I am afraid that this is one of the biggest problems for everyone. However, more and more TVs with smart systems have joined boot advertising, including ITV Telecom, LeTV, and Hisense. After all TVs are sold cheaply and they are not made on hardware. The money arrived must be made up elsewhere. Advertising time is about 14-30 seconds, most of the time the ads are 14 seconds, occasionally seen 30 seconds, to the timing of the last 7,8 seconds when the remote control can choose not to return, compared to The advertising time of traditional TV stations was a lot shorter, and individuals expressed full acceptance. I personally often turn on the TV power first, then go to the point where I would like to eat and drink, just occupy the advertising time.

â–¼ Shutdown options, you can choose to turn off the screen, delay shutdown, shut down to give a 20s hesitation period.

other

â–¼ Split the sound, or first look at an official slogan, comparable to HiFi's independent audio. Compared to a truly independent audio system, it's hard to talk about it. However, for a common all-in-one TV, the difference can be said to be heaven and earth (unused advanced integrated TV). The following independent subwoofer with maps needs to be purchased separately, but I do not know why the official website has been out of stock.

â–¼ Embedded 2.5-inch subwoofer 4 and dome-top tweeter 2. For non-enthusiast fans, I have watched the movie and listened to the song. The performance is satisfactory enough. I previously retired the TV with the Swans 2.0 box. In addition to Dolby sound, it's a plus.

Another point to Tucao is that the official buzzwords are written with automatic volume adjustment. However, in some cases, especially when advertisements are placed, the voice becomes louder and smaller, and then when the program is watched, it is necessary to tune it back. It is a headache.

to sum up:

In the dividing line of 10,000 yuan, Xiaomi TV gave us a choice: Imported sharp 70-inch 120hz panel, MStar top-level image processing chip, split independent host audio, unique and easy-to-use MIUI TV system, these are all attractive to me The highlights of the purchase, although some areas (leakage) are not satisfactory, but the overall performance can reach 80-90% of my heart's expectations. Experienced for nearly a month, the use of satisfaction is very satisfactory, large screen plus high-definition video, close to watch a small movie theater viewing effect, believe me, after watching the 70-inch TV, it will never go back.

advantage:

1. The screen is large and the color is good. Motion compensation has a significant effect on the fluency of the screen.

2. Easy to use, compared to before watching a TV need to turn on the TV power, then open the box power, and then open the speaker power, now open a power supply and remote control to solve.

3. Split design, with its own sound effects to meet the requirements of most people, eliminating the secondary purchase of sound costs.

Disadvantages:

1. Without support for HDR, TVs newly released in 2016 basically support HDR. Although there is a lack of HDR sources at this stage, it is better than nothing.

2. The bottom-side backlight is used, and the light leakage performance is unsatisfactory.

3. Since the split host does not have its own power supply, it cannot be used with other TV sets. If it is upgraded, it is basically useless.

Thank you for watching. I wish everyone can buy a satisfying TV!
