The millet TV 4A series appeared in 2017. The new products introduced this year also have some appearance changes compared to last year's products. The most obvious is the base part, compared to the 4A 49-inch and 55-inch TVs released at the beginning of 2017. 65-inch products, millet TV 4A 50-inch and 40-inch base design is more like millet TV 4 and millet TV 3rd generation design, but from the original metal material into plastic material.

The millet TV 4A series undoubtedly covers the vast majority of television product sizes. The 40-inch product is suitable for most environments. Its optimal viewing distance should be controlled within 1.5m to 2.5m, making it ideal for small living rooms and bedrooms. Placement of the environment, this product's appearance design and the use of materials are relatively fair, because the overall body is lighter, even the hollow partition wall can easily achieve wall.

Take a look at Millet's ambitions from PatchWall

People in the industry always call 2017 the “first year of artificial intelligence”. Actually, the author is also more agreeable. It is also the millet that led the move of the artificial intelligence concept from television products to the living room. The most eye-catching release was its PatchWall system.

Since the emergence of smart audio products in 2016, this function of voice search has not been able to claim any technology in the tech industry. Xiaomi uses PatchWall to combine the feedback of “visual” and “listening”. After the smart solutions were brought to the table, an “artificial intelligence” wave in the television industry was still set, and new concepts and new technologies such as artificial intelligence and voice assistance were no exception.

But now, the PatchWall built by Xiaomi, the “Most Strong Grocery Store”, is obviously not as simple as it looks. Millet, famous for its ecological concept, has created a powerful home-use smart appliance ecosystem. Whether or not its products are excellent is not mentioned for the time being, but what role TV can play in these links is obviously a waste of ideas for Xiaomi.

Millet TV control many millet's equipment

PatchWall has been quietly upgraded, the system has a built-in "M-home" function, the current function we can use is to control the millet ecological lights, air purifiers, water purifiers, in fact, Xiaomi smart speaker "small love classmate" can Most of the things that can be done, PatchWall can do, and the visual tips provided by the TV have more advantages than a single voice.

In the author's opinion, Xiaomi's system is much more polished than the product itself, and the product can also be made more valuable through the excellent system. The voice operation of the PatchWall system created by Xiaomi has been very mature, and the system layout is simple and easy to operate. Therefore, it can be counted as "the old man and the child can use".

Test summary: Is 1599 yuan and 40 inches worth buying?

The ecosystem of artificial intelligence products established by Xiaomi has been very complete. The intention of PatchWall, a system that Xiaomi TV is equipped with in its full range of products, is to make television a smart home control platform, and to visualize other appliances in the Unicom family. In this era of voice feedback, the platform can no longer meet people's needs, and event-based living room entertainment is likely to bring new breakthroughs to the market again.

And return to the product itself, the price of 1599 yuan is really very low? In fact, not necessarily, 40-inch products such as price of the product is not in the minority, this is a product regardless of the appearance or configuration are more relevant, expect this size of the entry-level products what is shocked by the performance of heaven It is unrealistic, but it is undeniable that Xiaomi's ecology is indeed very attractive. Combining excellent systems with relatively low prices will undoubtedly be very popular.

Because of its relatively petite figure, I recommend this product to small family or friends in the bedroom space to change the TV, and at the same time if you want to try the charm of artificial intelligence system, it is also the best choice, and because of the ecology of millet Layout, your home smart life will be opened by it and may be.

Written at the end:

Recalling the entire TV market in 2017, high-end products tend to be more popular among consumers under the trend of consumption upgrade. In fact, the author conducted two “homework visits” to home appliance stores in 2017, including Suning, Gome, Dazhong Electric. The viewpoints given by the offline store’s filmmakers are that the high-end products have higher transaction rates, and there are some fluctuations in the selection of entry-level products.

And from the consumer demand for television gradually "high-end", on the other hand, the overall status of Internet TV brands is not optimistic. In addition to Xiaomi's condition is more healthy, other Internet TV brands can not be described with "difficult to describe" . Under the trend of consumption upgrade background, the domestic TV market has shown a trend of “sales volume decline, unit price increase”. The polarization of the TV market has become more and more serious. Consumers either choose more low-end products that are closer to the people or are high-end products. Visual effects conquer.

On the other hand, millet has always been synonymous with “cost-effectiveness” in China. In the era when this technology product gradually tended to be oligopolistic, Xiaomi TV’s strategy has played a very good effect, and its market share has increased rapidly. However, the improvement of brand positioning in the future may also be something that Xiaomi needs to consider.
