[PK more love] Lenovo 17TV 55i2, faster, higher, stronger and smarter audio-visual center

sequence,

Lenovo is one of the earliest IT companies in China. It has grown into a large-scale enterprise group with diversified development in the information industry and an innovative and international technology company. Has acquired IBM PC and Motorola. In 2013, Lenovo's computer sales rose to the top in the world, becoming the world's largest PC manufacturer. As an Internet brand owned by Lenovo Group, 17TV is not only powerful hardware, but also pays more attention to content, interaction and service experience. The recently released new 17TV 55i2 is widely praised as the “most interactive” smart TV. Let's experience it together today and take a simple PK with the previous product 55i.

First, the evaluation environment

1, 17TV 55i2 Smart TV
2, Philips HTB3570 home theater
3, grape G1 Paladin 17TV custom version handle, Beitong Carlo 2.4G wireless handle
4, Bluetooth peripherals: 17TV Bluetooth headset, Bluetooth speaker
5, a number of smart phones
6. China Unicom's 4G mobile phone network (restricted to the reason why the new home has not yet migrated the optical network broadband) Hotspot, FDD 4G peak speed is 150Mbps
7, Lenovo newifi (dual frequency)
Second, hardware out of the box
When the 17TV 55i2 is transported to home, the wooden frame fastened around the outside of the packaging carton is "protected"

The outer layer of the inner paper packaging is printed with the Lenovo Group and the 17TV logo. The overall design is like a large, full-sized envelope with a 17TV TV label designed in the style of a stamp design. If it is bought for friends and relatives, then this must be a "letter" full of affection.
Opening the wooden frame actually consumes a great deal of strength. The degree of firm fastening is very difficult for me. Even the two corners of the claw hammer are tilted off. Each plank has at least six spikes. Without shaking or shaking, it effectively protects internal products and avoids damage during transportation. Lenovo considers it quite well for its users.
Open the wooden frame and open the package. The inside is the third layer of foam packaging protection. The screen, base and corners are all within the scope of protection.
Layers of protection, veiled veil, finally saw 17TV, could not help but transferred around it a lot of photos, before participating in a number of 17TV activities, took over "the companionship is the longest confession" written article prizes, custom surrounding Everything is complete, but she and she have missed one another. Today, they can finally get together.

17TV 55i2 screen size is: 55 inches 4K resolution ultra-high-definition LCD screen, screen ratio 16:9 LED backlight type. The overall shape is elegant, elegant, high value.
Body size with base is 1236 × 775 × 266mm, without the base is 1236 × 711 × 63mm, compared with a IPhone4S everyone can be more intuitive to experience this 63MM ultra-thin size. The overall weight is 20.1KG (base is not included).
The 55i2's interfaces are all on the left side of the backplane and are arranged in a single line, including antenna, network, fiber, maintenance, audio, component, HDMI1.4 X 1, HDMI 2.0 X 2, USB 3.0, USB 2.0.
Dual HDMI2.0 design is still relatively rare in the same industry products, Lenovo estimates that taking into account the era of technological advancement, the demand for viewing of high-definition video viewers will be more and more, if the single 2.0, the latter is bound to easily result The demand for external HD devices cannot be met. Replacing connecting devices back and forth is not only cumbersome, but also causes damage to the interface.
The HDMI 2.0 version greatly enhances support for 4K ultra-high-definition transmissions and improves on multiple video and audio technologies. Although HDMI 1.4 can already support 4K, but subject to bandwidth, the highest can only reach 3840 × 2160 resolution and 30FPS frame rate, HDMI 2.0 will expand the bandwidth to 18Gbps, can support 3840 × 2160 resolution and 50FPS, 60FPS frame rate . At the same time support up to 32 channels in audio, and the highest sampling rate of 1536kHz.
The base design of the 55i2 is more like a swallow or a boomerang with a double wing. In particular, a screw-tight screw-type design is used. The user can install the base firmly on the main body with a screwdriver without a screwdriver and is very secure. Make sure the host is not tipped over.
The 55i2 uses the JBL TV audio solution to enjoy video or gaming entertainment, and users can experience a perfect audio-visual experience.
The cable tie design of the power cord is also very user-friendly. A detachable cable tie is fixed on the side of the backplane of the host to store the power cable. People who have moved electrical appliances know that it is easy to step on the power supply and even people take the opportunity to fall over. They are not easily grasping the electrical appliances that are to be handled. Lenovo has solved this problem very well for everyone. The details of experience care, small places can better feel the sincerity of Lenovo.
There are two heat dissipation designs for the 55i2. One is the underside of the main unit, and the other is hidden in the periphery of the backplane. All of them are not exposed, which does not affect the overall aesthetics of the exterior, but also has a good cooling effect.
It was observed that there were few screw leaks on the mainframe, all of which were hidden by Lenovo's design engineers, and the host looked totally smooth and tidy. The champagne gold shell is also very atmospheric.
The design of the remote control Lenovo must have done a great deal of effort to achieve a combination of air mouse, voice, somatosensory, and remote control functions. Before I experienced a variety of remote control or joystick products, including VST voice remote control, flying wisdom black rat samurai handle, fly wisdom M3 somatosensory handle, music as box remote control, etc., are only integrated 2-3 of them. The 17TV55i2 put all its features into one. And beautiful and smooth appearance, fashionable and stylish champagne gold shell, and its comfortable feel, people can not put it down. The rear end of the remote control is designed for somatosensory games. When the user performs a somatosensory exercise, be sure to hang it on the neck of the hand. Otherwise, he or she will throw it out. Whether it is a TV or a child, even if it is Did not miss the remote control fell to the ground, I'm afraid it is also very sad. O(∩_∩)O haha~
Official website 17TV remote control introduction video








In fact, Lenovo's 17TV also has custom peripherals, I have the honor to have two models, one is 17TV Bluetooth headset, one is the G1 gaming room G1 Paladin 17TV customized version, are similar to the 55i2 remote control of champagne gold, in unison Uniform and uniform, "cooperation" to give users a good entertainment experience.
Specifically speaking about the 17TV Bluetooth headset, I have been fortunate enough to have been carried with you. I appreciate it's extraordinary sound quality, thick bass. With the use of 55i2, in the dead of night, when the child is asleep, you can relax and enjoy the large-scale US drama alone.
My background wall is good for the wife's selection is similar to the color of champagne gold, and 55i2 match is not very grade it? With Philips home theater, a real smart home entertainment video center ha.
The above is the hardware appearance of the 55i2. This is what everyone can see and hear. The hardware configuration will be described later on the PK55i.

Third, UI experience outside the hardware to watch, to experience the delicious "sandwich" time (Lenovo deep customization of YUNOS 17TV dedicated system)
Start interface, blue background, white logo, pleasing to the eye, below revealing identity from the Lenovo brand

The first boot has a personalized boot setting. After connecting my own mobile phone 4G hotspot, the system performs online firmware upgrade.
After the upgrade completes, it enters "sandwich" after it is started again. The so-called "sandwich" is Lenovo's integration of its UI according to the user's habits into three major sections:
1, external signal input, I connected to the Philips home theater host
2. For video on demand, the broadcast control platform is BesTV and one of the ten licensees in China to ensure the copyright and quality of the content. Seeing the official website, there is cooperation with iqiyi and one of the top 10 licensees
3, application software, including 55i2 system built-in and user-installed third-party software
(1) The external signal input can select the signal input corresponding to the video input interface on the back panel, and switch to the corresponding device to play the content. When the external device is powered on, the 55i2 will pop up a page to prompt whether to switch.

(II) The main page for booting is in the second panel video on demand category. The above figure shows that the main page has wonderful video content that is broadcasted by polling and several video and television program contents that are popular and popular with the audience. Below is BesTV's classified section, let's see what's exciting
1. Chinese-language movies, please pay attention to the sub-categories of various sections.
2, overseas movies, watching foreign movies, come here all have
3. Dramas, well, to tell the truth, since I saw the American drama “Prison Break” a long time ago and recently saw the “Decryption” of domestic dramas, I rarely “dare” to watch TV dramas. Fortunately, there are many endings here, O(∩_∩)O haha~
4, children, here is the child's world, after hard work, it should also make the baby in the family have a happy and entertaining time, well, there are also programs that I like to watch, do not tell you what, you guess undefined
5, entertaining variety, fans here should be a lot, updated quickly. . . . . When photographing the words, the baby's family was just coming out. . . . Very worried for the baby, this also shows that the update speed of audio-visual programs is superb
6, sports, the Olympic Games just ended, more exciting come here to find it
7, music, this is my favorite, 55i2 supports background playback
8. Living Record
9, surprise found 4K area
10, depending on the cloud theater, the amount, here is paid, but watching the program more exciting, ah, out of pocket, the user decided, ^ _ ^
11, each section provides search and filter capabilities, originally I was against the full keyboard design, because I think the operation too. . . . . Cumbersome, compared to TV, Jiugongge more humane, reducing the remote control button operation. but! With the 17TV55i2, Oh, the remote control is free, you know ~~~

(3) In the current section of the application software category, you can open the “Local application” and select the third-party software that is built into the system or installed by the user. Oh, I am happy, and thanks Lenovo. Although it is YUNOS, the custom “sandwich” seems to be Not affected by the nature of YUNOS. . . . . . Undefined, feel free
55i2 built-in application store, including a variety of types of sections, a large number of software, want to make the 55i2 stronger and more intelligent? Come here, will not let you down
LeTV is a very good application software, I have conducted tests, with the wifi network, you can interact with a variety of smart products, including Android, IOS tablet and mobile phones. The measured Android low-end mobile phones can achieve basic mobile audio and video, large-screen push pictures, and high version of Android smart products is based on this, to achieve wireless with screen display, understand? Don't use video cable or data cable. You can play video game on your mobile phone. Simply scan the QR code to connect to the TV. You can display the content on the 55i2. It's so capricious. It's that simple.
Mobile phone TV control is also a WLAN (wifi) application, mobile phone as a remote control, try to try oh
The system takes a long time, fragmentation is much, the TV is open for a long time, the memory is occupied, the speed and quality of the operation will be reduced, 55i2 built-in software can let you restore full blood state
Manual, integrated in 55i2 becomes an APP, comprehensive and detailed
Setup interface, six function blocks
Network and Bluetooth, test connection 4G hotspot, 17TV bluetooth headset, a variety of Bluetooth speakers, handles (including grape G1 Paladin 17TV custom handle) are normal, occasionally detected, can try several times, one pair, after It's simple
Universal settings, you can select the digital audio output, digital amplifier has a place to play. You can also set the automatic shutdown time from 15 minutes to two hours.
The audiovisual mode is a place that needs to be praised for the 55i2, except that it defaults to automatic, and it can also select the standard, theater, eye protection, and custom mode according to the user's use scene automatic switching. In the custom mode, digital and corresponding indicators can be managed for both video and audio. It is also found that the audio supports balanced adjustment. ^_^ I like to increase the two low and high frequencies and lower the middle frequency. Ask why? Do you want to guess it or do you want to try it on your mobile phone? The result is different, Oh
Application management, you can clear the installed software cache, delete, etc.
Account and system, you can see the hardware configuration, user registration
Contact us, ah, is to contact Lenovo, ^ _ ^, when there is a problem, there is a good after-sales is the best. However, it seems that there is not consistency with this in the specification.
File management provides video, audio, pictures and other browsing and playback functions. A single person feels that it can be integrated into one. It also provides network access. Users can create a shared folder on the PC so that the 55i2 can access the playback. .
The tiger-mother pattern that needs to be emphasized is at the top of the middle of the home page. This is where the baby in the house entertains and educates. The tiger mother can set the child's gender, age, and tutoring situation to effectively control the child's viewing time and watch. content.
There is a drawstring under the tiger's mother and don't forget to take a look. A lot of cartoons' special performances are here.
Custom, I think how to sneak, if you can encrypt better, ^ _ ^
The game's big screen new experience, open the 55i2, join the paladin, enter the glory of the king, let us enjoy a good look on the big TV. Of course, Lenovo has prepared more exciting games for us, expecting you to discover, experience, and have fun.
4K test picture shows the details, 55i2 4K screen really is awesome, all kinds of fine display of exhaustive. Oblique angle to see that 9 circles, very stereoscopic undefined

Four, 17TV 55i2 and 55i PK

Screen parameters processor 55i: A17 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz
55i2: Clocked at 1.1Ghz, MTK's latest generation TV dedicated chip, 64-bit architecture, capable of solving 4K 10Bit films, and more powerful CPU GPU Stored Built-in storage Wifi SRS HDR Apt-X LL MEMC 3D playback interface
It can be seen from the above that the 17TV55i2 has higher hardware configuration and newer technology than the 55i alone in terms of hardware configuration, allowing the 55i2 to be faster (more speed) (more powerful) (functional) and more intelligent ( Support more software.)
In terms of appearance and UI, the information of 55i queried from the Internet, the 55i2 has a higher face value and is more popular with netizens, players, and users.

Six, Tucao recommendations

1. Measured 17TV 55i2's compatibility with the Android driverless camera is not very good. When the viewers and friends were about TV test, they could not start the Logitech camera normally. Cameras and video software have been used for seamless cross-platform applications on most mobile phones, tablets, set-top boxes, and televisions. 17TV's flagship "together" image, with the support of the camera and TV video software, can make this concept more deeply into the user's mind - space is a distance, unaffected family, separated by mountains and rivers, as you "side";
2. Now that 3D, VR, and AR technologies are maturing, the level of technology hardware, software applications, display effects, and resource content all have considerable development. The future will be more in-depth. Most video software also has 3D zones. It is to build a hardware foundation for 3D online viewing. 55i2 does not retain the 55i's 3D capabilities, but it is a pity;
3. The unlocking of the tiger and mother pattern adopts Arabic numerals to select Chinese characters in capitalized form. Personal feelings are not enough to deal with the “little evil spirits” in various families. Nowadays, children are in contact with various types of tablets, mobile phones, and the Internet. A wide range of learning ability is also superior. I believe that the cross character correspondence does not exceed one week, let them crack, personally think that using digital or graphic encryption is better;
4, the remote control air mouse function is quite superior, children and young people believe that will certainly put it down, but for the elderly is just as difficult to learn computer mouse, poor control of direction, etc., although there are sensitivity adjustment options, but If there is a closure option, it may be more suitable for the elderly.
5, start-up speed is not rumored 10 seconds, but the performance is still satisfactory. Personally feel that if the firmware is optimized, the startup speed will be further improved, and a new firmware upgrade version will be expected, resulting in a higher, faster and stronger large-screen intelligent experience.
6, small details, the setting of "contact us" and the instructions in the "contact us" content is different, inconsistent.
7. There is a lack of favorite programs for the elderly in the film and television category.

Seven, 3D effect pictures

In this review, I added some 3D pictures, which are limited to civil-grade 3D shooting software and mobile VR viewing technology. The resolution is not very high (Note, not that I do not shoot high-resolution pictures, but is limited to the current mainstream resolution of mobile phones. The resolution of the viewed 3D picture itself is low, even if the picture is in high definition, the large screen display on the mobile phone is grainy, unless it is a 2K, 4K high-end mobile phone or LCD VR), but it can let everyone experience what Lenovo 17TV 55i2 is near. In front of the feeling. The audience believes me, do not think that computer is not good, try to pass the WeChat PC version or other software to the phone, bring your VR glasses, the results will not disappoint you.
Eighth, the overall evaluation Lenovo 17TV 55i2, has a more powerful hardware configuration than the 55i, so it can support more peripherals and more APP. Therefore, I establish this PK evaluation conclusion: 55i2 compared to its "predecessors", faster (speed) higher (performance) stronger (functional) more intelligent (support more software). Combined with its deep customization of the YUNOS system-sandwich system, and an advanced collection of advanced features such as “voice, air rat, and somatosensory” as a whole, the high-value remote controller is worthy of the “most interactive” smart TV. In addition, the BesTV and iQiYi broadcast control platform programs containing genuine and excellent resources, as well as a variety of somatosensory and large screen games, allow users to enjoy endless audiovisual and sports fun at home. The design of the tiger-mother model is deeply concerned and loved by young parents. It better supervises the children's education and protection and protects their eyesight.
