Millet TV host evaluation - not magical, but practical

Millet TV 3 is a big feature is the separation of the host and screen design, so Xiaomi also separate out the host part of the sale. Millet TV host price is 999 yuan, this price is not expensive, because from a functional point of view, it is at least the network box + Sound Bar integration. Let's take a look at its performance and see if it is worth 999 yuan.

Design: Just a Sound Bar
Although the millet TV host is similar in appearance to a Sound Bar, it looks quite textured. The black grille with the front part of the metal matt panel will look very good if it is placed in front of a black case TV. Co-op. In addition, in terms of workmanship, the millet TV host is really good, feels good, and the front of the several function keys are also very sophisticated, compared with some low-cost Sound Bar to be stronger.


Of course, due to the addition of intelligent systems and rich interfaces, the weight of the entire millet TV host is not light, weighing 3.9kg. It is worth mentioning that the millet TV host has a hole on the back, and the user can also use the wall-mounted installation.

Interface configuration: all you can think of

The interface of the Xiaomi TV host is designed to be on the back. Even if we compare it with the interface of a high-end TV, the Xiaomi TV host is not out of line in this respect. The millet TV host is connected to the display device via the Mi Port interface. Of course, you must have a MiPort to HDMI cable (standard) so that you can pair it with all devices that have an HDMI input. What is slightly unpleasant is that the HDMI port of the standard MiPort to HDMI cable is too small. When inserting a TV or other device, occasional incomplete insertion may result in poor contact, requiring the user to check it out.

In the output interface, in addition to the Mi Port connected to the display device, the millet TV host only has an audio interface to connect the subwoofer, and there is no digital audio output, but the millet TV host itself has an analog multi-channel surround function. No digital audio output interface is understandable. In addition, the millet TV host itself has Bluetooth capabilities, which also allows it to connect with more devices.

In the input interface (equal to the TV's input interface), Xiaomi TV host configures three HDMI2.0 interfaces, a VGA interface, a composite AV interface. Interestingly, Xiaomi TV host also designed an input interface for analog TV signals. If users are still using old-fashioned closed-circuit antennas, they can directly plug analog signals into this interface. In addition, in the USB interface, Xiaomi TV host has a USB3.0 interface and a USB2.0 interface.


Functional design: not only the speaker plus smart box, the biggest significance is that an HDMI cable implements four input sources

In terms of function, in addition to the built-in speaker and box functions, Xiaomi TV host has given the author an appreciation of the fact that it has this device, and we basically do not have to worry about the lack of TV HDMI interface.

After the millet TV host is turned on, the left “TV” column allows the user to select different input interfaces to display the screens, namely HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, and analog signals. In fact, this is equivalent to an HDMI2.0 switcher, so that we can connect three HDMI devices to the Xiaomi TV host, plus the intelligent system that the Xiaomi TV host itself brings, which actually means our TV. The four device input screens can be displayed via an HDMI interface. If the user has a closed-circuit analog antenna, he can access the millet TV host and generate a separate picture search channel.

The resource platform of the Xiaomi TV host is composed of four licensees, namely iCNTV, GITV, Mango TV, and China TV. Basically, except for LeTV’s exclusive programs, other network video resources are almost completely wiped out. Considering that the Xiaomi TV host can also install the APP through the USB interface, Xiaomi’s smart platform should be the leading domestic resource in terms of quantity. From the interface, the users who bought the millet TV are more familiar with it. It should be said that the classification is relatively clear. Xiaomi will integrate four resource platforms and search it is more convenient. There is not much to say here.

Millet TV host comes with a six-unit speaker design, four 2.5-inch low-frequency unit, two ball-top high-frequency unit, which is the same with many SoundBar, support for surround sound, support for DTS and Dolby decoding, so it does not There will be no sound when playing DTS movies like some smart TVs. A very user-friendly place is that when a TV or monitor is connected to a TV host via Xiaomi, the sound will be output to the speakers of the Xiaomi TV host by default, and the TV/monitor will not make a sound and will not cause any trouble to the user.


The actual experience: powerful network resources, sound

In the actual experience, Xiaomi TV host gave the author a better impression in many places. Support 802.11ac dual-band is indeed better, especially the playback of some high-bit rate LAN video, 5GHz wireless network's large bandwidth is indeed more rapid and smooth, but the 5GHz wireless network is more "fragile", slightly blocked, LAN bandwidth and their own network Bandwidth will obviously decline.

Millet TV host video resources are more, but it is surprising that in the four licensee's network resources, a lot of online programs have a very high definition, such as Mango TV's video resources, the effect has been catching up The HDTV channel of the cable TV, in contrast, there is almost no loss of the video quality of the same content, which is much better than many other boxes and aggregation APP.

However, the sound quality of the millet TV host is relatively general, although the official blowing a lot, but from the actual sense of hearing, it is too biased towards low frequency, the sound field is not small, a large amount of low frequency, but relatively boring. And after increasing the volume, the low-frequency control force will drop, and there will be obvious distortion and breakage. Therefore, when using a millet TV host, the volume can be turned to 1/3. As for the so-called HiFi effect, we have to take publicity and see it. We don't have to compare it.

In addition, the use of the millet TV host for Xiaomi is tantamount to improving the performance of the old TV. This point is slightly different. The performance of television is not only video resources and running sub-decoding, but also includes the quality of television performance. The millet TV host itself does not have a separate image processing option, which means that the performance of the picture quality mainly depends on the TV itself. From this point of view, the Xiaomi TV host is not as good as some high-end boxes on the market with separate image quality engines.

In addition, dynamic compensation functions such as MEMC require a separate chip to be implemented with the TV panel. After the separation of the TV and the host computer, Xiaomi can't make other TVs without MEMC functions connected to the Xiaomi TV host. Features. From this point of view, the actual significance of the Xiaomi TV host is to add additional functions to the TV.


Overall, 999 yuan worth of money

In fact, for users, there is no need to entanglement with Xiaomi’s publicity, and it is not necessary to think about whether the separation of TV and smart platforms is more suitable for the development of the TV industry. We only need to consider whether the Xiaomi TV host is worth 999 yuan to buy. From the actual function, you can understand the millet TV host as a combination of "HDMI2.0 multi-input switch + millet box + speaker", and it is indeed very practical value, whether the user's TV intelligence platform is not strong enough, Or want to connect more equipment, or want to buy a Sound Bar to enhance the TV sound, millet TV host can meet the needs of users, and this highly integrated product can also save the user's space to some extent . From this point of view, millet TV host 999 yuan this price is still more reasonable.
