Micro Whale WTV43K1 evaluation summary:

Overall, the high configurability and high performance of the Whale Watch TV WTV43K1 are among the best in its class, and it is also a sincerity for the configuration of the Whale Watch TV. Mainly reflected in the following areas:

The TV screen uses a 43-inch 4K RGBW high-definition IPS hard screen to become the highest-definition 4K resolution TV, and the viewing quality can reach the retina-level visual experience. Also worth mentioning is the side-in LED backlight developed by Microwhale.

WTV43K1 is rich in content resources, especially in television dramas, variety shows and other content, providing the most complete and up-to-date content, slightly weaker in the latest movies. The system of the Whale WTV43K1 TV adopts the WUI based on Alibaba Cloud's depth customization. The interactive logic based on the above operations is simple and easy to use. The classification is clear and clear. The hardware configuration uses 1.5G memory and 8G high-speed flash memory, and the response speed can reach 8ms. The WTV43K1 is also equipped with a built-in HIFI-grade speaker for better sound quality. Local decoding supports H.265 decoding and 4K resolution, and also supports DOLBY/DTS audio dual decoding. The built-in file manager does not support Blu-ray reading and the subtitles can't be adjusted. It's a little regrettable and hopes that the subsequent upgrades can be optimized. The price of micro whale is also full of sincerity, priced at 2098 yuan, and includes a year of membership services (the follow-up fee is 199 yuan per year), without additional monolithic payment.
