Foreword: Low price = low quality?
First, "a piece of money and a piece of goods" is still applicable on television, because the biggest cost of television is the screen (70% or more), and the price of the screen determines the level of television, so buy a TV. Or look at the "screen" first. There is no doubt about this. At present, the 4K TV market is a mixed bag, and a large number of ultra-low-price 4Ks are emerging, including a large number of low-end “false 4K†WRGB panels. Of course, there are differences between different televisions, and there is also a price/performance ratio. Millet TV 3S, 55 inch price of 3499 yuan, just look at the price is indeed very cost-effective in the same size, the facts, and listen to the old driver to you slowly.
The above is a few points that Messi thinks a reliable 4K TV needs to have. Let's compare the 55-inch Xiaomi 3S. Take a look at some of the parameters of the millet dazzling, which are not mentioned by the official.
Obviously, through simple analysis, it can be seen that the 55-inch millet 3S has reached the ideal midrange requirement in many aspects, especially on the screen, but there are also obvious shortcomings. For example, other 6A938 core imperials without the A72 architecture are missing. MEMC function, this may also be limited by cost, Xiaomi's choice, in the end how effective, together to verify.
丨 Out of the box: Satisfied with workmanship, remote control
Millet TV shipments are packed in wooden racks and are well-received. However, they do not have to cross the express logistics to help dismantle the shelves for inspection. This requires Tucao.
The foam is firmly packaged and reinforced with wooden sticks.
Comes with 2 metal feet and a non-slip design.
Fewer accessories: 4 screws + 1 (spare), infrared remote control (with battery). There is no standard Bluetooth remote control, and no set-top box conversion cable, sorry.
Fixed and easy: four screws, easy to install.
Positive first: thin, narrow.
Measured thickness: 9mm above, 10mm at the side, (iPhone6=7.5mm), you can see how thin the frame thickness of the millet TV is.
The frame is made of matte aluminum alloy patches, and the corners can still see the patchwork, but the gap is not obvious, of course, you can also vaguely see the black edge.
Millet TV bottom bar, the border is very narrow, the bottom of the bottom is the infrared remote control receiver, MI marked texture.
Millet's aluminum frame is made of metal, not a real metal frame. It should be considered aesthetically and costly.
The "person" type support has good stability, and there is a non-slip rubber pad at the bottom, which has a certain degree of non-slip and protection.
Millet TV 3S on the back of the current popular narrow, wide under the design, the top metal brushed panel texture is good, but no stiffeners, perhaps for thin and beautiful, bending resistance to be tested in time.
The metal patch strips are fixed by screws and the edges work well and do not cut hands.
In the middle area, there are wall-hanging holes on the four sides, and millet is concealed and decorated with plastic nuts to achieve uniform style.
Left: Xiaomi's flat plugs are well received. This is a point repeatedly mentioned by Xiaomi when he talks about the “artisan spiritâ€. The actual work is really not bad. It is small in size and can be inserted into the crowded jack without conflict, and the vertical design is not easy. There is no problem with breakage and plugging.
There are two rows of interface design on the right side, the lower row is the antenna, network cable, audio, traditional AV port, these are not commonly used, so set in the rear.
Side: 2 HDMI, 1 ARC (audio interface), USB3.0 and 2.0, these common interfaces are placed on the side, easy to plug in, design is reasonable, and the interface is also rich and well received.
Above a horizontal radiator, because the bottom is also using ultra-thin design, so the cooling area is also compressed, summer high temperature long-term operation may be a major test.
Appearance summary:
Millet 3S, the main thin, thin thickness, although the border with a plastic + metal edging form, there is no ID without a border or a fine border to the exquisite, but in the details of the beautiful and atmosphere to do pretty, HDMI2.0 , USB3.0, audio port ARC interface are available, the only regret is that there is no standard Bluetooth remote control, but the use of infrared design. For the 55-inch face value and workmanship, millet 3S can give praise.
丨 Picture quality: There are surprises, there are disappointments
A true 4K (RGB verification)
The actual measurement is RGB, three-color true 4K, WRGB and RGB in the low-end panel, the advantages of RGB is obvious, high-end four-color is not within the scope of discussion, so buy low-end look for RGB panel.
Second, light leakage control: law-abiding
LCD panel due to its own material, will not play, need to play back light to show the true color, of course, light leakage is inevitable, high-end LCD TVs often use hundreds of backlight partition panel to control light leakage, low-end TV often does not have backlight partition technology. The same is the backlight partition, the number of backlight partitions determines the black field, black purity.
Millet 3S can use backlight zoning technology in the entry-level TV, better than no backlight effect, it is worthy of praise, but due to the smaller number of backlight partitions, light leakage control does not greatly improve, the lower light leakage is more serious, which is high and low end TV The difference in the pursuit of backlight partitions.
Third, brightness: the highest brightness mainstream, uniformity is generally
Millet TV full backlight, measured maximum brightness at 375nit, the upper and lower brightness at about 280nit, the overall brightness is not very uniform, brightness data can only be counted as an entry level average. Better backlight brightness can reach 400nit, high-end top can reach 800-1000nit, the higher the brightness, the more details of the bright part of the screen.
Fourth, resolution, color transition
4K resolution is achieved with clear text and visible crevices.
Color performance: The yellow part of the triangle does not completely overlap with the green and red parts, but in terms of viewing angle, the right side of the ball is too natural.
V. 265 Grayscale: General
General low-end 4K will have 4 +4 or 6 + 6 can not see anyway, millet TV 3S is the same, the upper left corner 6 + 6 can not see.
Six: color accuracy: (color gamut)
The average entry-level NTSC color gamut is only 75%, the middle end can reach 85%-90%, the high-end top class can break through 100% or even reach 110%. The higher the color gamut, the simpler to understand the color display is more accurate and the color is more gorgeous.
The price comparison of its brand NTSC color gamut 75% and millet NTSC color gamut 85%
Real image blind comparison
The red sports car is orange in the front and red in the rear.
Color optimization mechanism: pay attention to the color of the car
Skin color: Which one naturally knows at a glance.
Image Optimization: Dynamic Shooting
It can be seen that the color of the TV above the human skin color is more accurate.
Reveal the answer: Above: Xiaomi TV 3S, bottom: Its brand TV, Xiaomi TV 3S has a higher color gamut, and the displayed color will be more real and more brilliant.
Lack of MEMC: poor dynamic fluency
See here maybe you think the picture quality of the millet TV is very good, but don't forget that most of the previous viewing is static effect, and the actual viewing scene is mainly dynamic, and the Amlogic processor of Xiaomi TV does not support improving the fluency of the screen. MEMC (dynamic compensation), messi sees similar situations on other TVs and should be a cost consideration.
Comparison of MEMC Switch Effect (Messi TV Measurement)
Millet TV does not have MEMC, and many other starter TVs lack this function. Actually, this function is still very important for improving the TV picture. Some TVs look very comfortable, and this comfortable fluency occupies a large proportion. Millet TV watching low-performing TV plays is still acceptable, but if you watch regular games or external games like this, the output of dynamic images is higher. Millet TV may not be your dish.
Image Optimization: Slight Hysteresis but Optimized
Low-end TVs often suffer from sluggish image-optimized rendering speeds. When you open a photo, it will blur for a few seconds. After a few seconds, the color will change. The high-end TV has a basic 0 delay, and the low-end TV can tell you that the millet TV 3S has a delay of about 1 second, compared to another 4 seconds or so, the delay is fairly good. The negative image optimization is less, but it is far from the high end.
Other real proofs:
Quality summary: There is a good screen, but the dynamic perception is generally
Messi almost thought that the millet TV was a good entry-level TV. Of course, the color reproduction was very accurate when watching static and low-speed images. However, the millet TV 3S did not support important MEMC (motion compensation) due to the chip, resulting in high-speed viewing. The dynamic picture is more fluent. If you only use it to watch regular TV shows, the color of the Xiaomi TV 3S can meet your needs; but if you often use it to watch a game or an external game, it cannot be suitable.
丨Performance: Decoding is enough, function is general
Has always been known as feverish hardware millet, this time the SoC has used the unusual A53 Amlogic flagship processor (41.8GHz), compared to the current hot A73 architecture 6A938 TV core, there is a gap, the basic Equal to 6A928 (second flagship) positioning.
The Amlogic chip supports backlight partition technology, HDR technology, but does not support MEMC (motion compensation). Obviously, the chip's functional support is inferior to the more perfect Mstar 6A928. Perhaps the cost considerations make Xiaomi choose Amlogic.
In terms of running sub-ranks, Amlogic's performance is more mainstream and not outstanding.
Hard decoding: mainstream.
I. [Paris Tower]: AAC/HEVC, frame rate 30 low code rate
Audio synchronization, perfect playback, smooth drag.
Second, [4K 123 four primary colors]: AVC/AAC, frame number 30, code rate 80Mbps
Audio synchronization, perfect playback, smooth drag.
Third, [Hokkaido and Tokyo]: video AVC, audio AC-3, variable frame number, rate 112Mbps
Audio synchronization, perfect playback, smooth drag.
Fourth, [AOA_Miniskirt]: HEVC/AAC, frame number 60, code rate 26Mbps.
Play and drag smoothly and play normally.
Fifth, [4K Girls' Generation 120fps]: Video AVC, Audio DTS, Frames 120, Bit Rate 101Mbps
can not play
6. [Ducks fly 2160P]: Video AVC, Audio None, Frames 30, Bit Rate 243Mbps

Performance Summary: (About Amlogic Chips)
Millet may be to control the overall cost, did not use the mainstream Mstar6A938/6A928, Amlogic's decoding capability is no problem, easy to decode 60 frames 4K, select the backlight partition between the MEMC and the backlight partition (the vast majority of low-end TVs do not have backlighting Partition). Millet TV 3S design is intended to emphasize the concept of good screen = good quality, but TV display technology, Messi believes that in the low-end TV, MEMC function is obviously more important than the backlight partition, and this is also not satisfied with the messi millet TV place.
[Messi point of view] three importance: good screen> MEMC technology> backlight partition technology
丨UI&Resources: Highlights
Boot: slower but no ads
Currently, there are many TVs that can boot within 20 seconds. The 30 seconds of millet TV's 3 seconds is a slower grade that needs to be optimized, but fortunately there is no annoying advertisement on the boot page.
Interface settings: tile intuitive, but also more human
Millet TV UI adopts the current mainstream tile browsing mode, which is very intuitive. However, Xiaomi's homepage does not have a shortcut to launch the APP application portal. Each time you open a third-party APP, you need to find it in multiple steps. This is for viewing like third-party APP (non-VIP) viewing. Friends are inconvenient.
Image settings:
Dynamic backlight / 3D to 2D, should be the two highlights of the millet TV, it actually has a certain use, but due to lower technical specifications and the use of frequency caused practicality is not high.
Sound output: external speakers
Local audio, external audio, can be, through the HDMI (ARC) interface can achieve external audio playback.
[Highlight 1: Artificial Intelligence Puzzle Wall]
The biggest feature of artificial intelligence is smart push. You watch a certain type of TV show. The TV will give you a similar type of TV, movie. For example, if you watch a martial arts piece, he will push you to other martial arts films. Millet has accurately classified each TV. This is an interesting design and it is very practical.
[Highlights II: Bring the Big Four into one resource]
iQiyi, Tencent, Youku, Sohu: Highly integrated, the most comprehensive content in the entire network
First of all, in terms of resources, it is true that these four resources are very powerful, and there are many free content. It is a great surprise for Xiaomi to integrate all these major copyright owners into the UI. However, Xiaomi just did a simple integration of content (a separate installation of the APP can also be achieved), but also in-depth video source clarity and other aspects of cooperation.
TV drama: Basic coverage of the entire network hot drama, it is to force
Thanks to the abundant free copyright content of the four platforms, Xiaomi TV's free 3S content basically covers most of the hits on the market, and more importantly, it also brings independent broadcasts from various platforms.
Film resources: no special advantage
Compared with the TV series, movie update speed is relatively normal, and there is no advantage for VIP movies and third parties.
[Highlight 3: Xiaomi VIP, package annual price benefits]
Millet annual average price is 30 yuan per month, the content is Xiaomi resources + iQIYI VIP, in terms of resources, millet and VIP itself is very rich in content, in particular, Iqiyi homemade drama is very attractive, of course, if you can put the VIP Expanding content to other video apps is believed to be more cost-effective.
Built-in application: General
From the millet application store to Mi's smart home TV, to the screen-casting software, to meet users to expand third-party applications, but also opened the millet home ecosystem, so that the entire home ecological chain should currently only millet. However, the practicality of internal software is relatively common, many resources cannot be found, and third-party application stores are still needed.
Third-party APP: unlimited installation, convenience
Due to well-known policy reasons, the major TV manufacturers currently block the normal way of installing third-party APPs, but there is no doubt that third-party broadcasts, and on-demand APPs greatly satisfy the viewers' own needs. Xiaomi is really conscientious in this regard. Instead of using third-party APK files to identify people through anti-human engineering models, in the “settingsâ€, you can directly allow “install unknown source applications†to install third-party apps.
Switching function: practical
Double-clicking Home can switch or clear one or more backgrounds. This interaction is good, and it is more practical for Xiaomian.
Infrared remote control: general function, good sensitivity
First of all, infrared remote control is not as good as the convenience of use of Bluetooth remote control, there is no standard Bluetooth remote control, there are limitations in the control range, and there is no voice function, functionality is very general; but the actual sensitivity can also be more smoothly.
Screen shot:
Mobile phone download millet screen, you can cast the phone's photos, video projection on the TV, the game synchronization looks like it is not enough, personal or like third party remote control Goku, in addition to the screen can also be wireless installation of practical APP, rich in resources .
UI & Remote Control Summary:
Millet TV UI integrates four mainstream media (Mango/PPTV/Hua number has also been added), free content is quite rich, artificial intelligence recommendation is also practical, millet VIP package price is reasonable, Xiaomi resources + Iqiyi VIP resources, There is a certain attraction. However, the UI home page does not have a quick start to set up a third-party APP. The setting does not include a Bluetooth remote control, which is relatively general in function and control.
丨 Millet TV 3S summary
advantage:
Ultra-thin shape, excellent workmanship
True RGB 4K screen, wide color gamut NTSC 85%, accurate color
Static and low-speed picture color optimization in place
Rich interfaces such as HDMI/ARC/USB3.0
Take ownership of four copyrights, high degree of free resource integration
Millet VIP affordable, more content
Artificial intelligence recommendation utility
The same size and cost-effective
Disadvantages:
Remote control is non-Bluetooth, less accessories
Light leakage control in general (small number of partitions)
Screen brightness and uniformity are generally
Lack of MEMC, dynamic performance in general
The boot speed is slow, UI humanization is to be improved
55-inch millet TV 3S, in some places have done the same extreme price, especially in the most important TV screen with NTSC color gamut 85% LG RGB screen, the color display in the same class is superior, but the use of The Amlogic processor does not support the MEMC (motion compensation) function, resulting in a general dynamic perception, so the overall picture quality score is lowered. Messi personally believes that the biggest advantage of Xiaomi TV 3S is that it integrates multiple video copyright providers into a single UI, with artificial intelligence recommendations to bring convenience to users, eliminating the tedium of multi-step individual search. If you can fill the MEMC short board, I believe the millet TV 3S will be very cost-effective. If you are a chase drama person, the budget is limited, millet TV 3S can meet your needs; if you are more demanding on the quality of the picture, split MEMC-enabled (55-inch millet TV 3) may be more suitable for you.
Recommended people:
Entry-level budget, living room requirements
Thin control, color value control
Perfect for chasing dramas
Not suitable for the crowd:
Ball game, external game file
