Projection products are very hot in the past two years. First, the demand for large screens continues to grow, while the price of large-size TVs is prohibitive. Second, as a number of Internet companies flooded into the TV industry, projectors now become the Internet brands. Hey, micro whale, rice, nuts, millet ... ... these companies continue to introduce new, not only to accelerate the category of education, but also brings new products with more user experience, so that the traditional projector industry has launched a new vitality. The micro-whale, an Internet brand that relied on the television business, had entered the projector industry last year after creating sales records for the television industry. It also launched the first product, the micro-whale Rubik's cube K1. This is also the product of Tianji.com. In-depth evaluation (click to view detailed evaluation). To say that this product's biggest regret, may be with other micro-projection products, the brightness is not high enough. It is to solve this pain point, in June of this year, the micro whale smart projection F1 debut, up to 1200 ANSI lumens to refresh the micro-projection brightness new high, almost equal to ordinary home projection. (Click to view detailed evaluation) After a lapse of two months, the micro-whale again attacked and released F1's upgraded version of the Micro Whale Smart Projection F1 PLUS. The speed of the micro whale is jaw-dropping. What about this product? What are its upgrades with F1? And look at the evaluation slowly. The shape remains the same but the color of the snow-capped white new color whale F1 is glacier ash. The atmosphere is relatively tough, and the F1 PLUS has become white and soft. The top of the fuselage is silver-gray, and the rest is white. In an exchange with the product manager of the Microwhale Project, the design of this product was inspired by Lake Geneva, Switzerland. They hope to indulge in the craftsmanship and craftsmanship of the watchmaking industry, expressing the beauty of the lake and blending in with the beauty of the lake. Therefore, at the top of the fuselage, it is not composed of a flat shell, the first half is the general folds of water ripples. In the color spraying process, the micro whale chose imported materials to express the delicate texture of Swiss Snow Mountain. The 210*200*50 mm volume, 1.2 Kg weight, though slightly larger than the first generation, can still be picked up with one hand without effort. From the point of view of F1 PLUS configuration, the basic consistency with F1, 1200ANSI lumen brightness, 1280 × 800 resolution, 10000:1 contrast, 125% sRGB wide color gamut standard, light source life of 30,000 hours. Using DLP display technology, projection ratio 1.2:1, projection distance 0.5-3m, can cast 40-300 inch large screen. The lens is a highly transmissive glass lens that supports a vertical ±40 degree trapezoidal correction. In terms of performance, MicroWhale Smart Projection F1 PLUS adopts a 64-bit dual-core Coretex-A53 architecture processor, and adopts low-power technologies such as adaptive voltage regulation (AVS) and dynamic frequency regulation (DVFS); on the GPU side, it supports H.265. Hard decoding format, support 4K source video decoding; and Bluetooth 4.1, support 802.11 ac 2.4G/5GHz dual-band WiFi, home networking equipment is not easy to cause the phenomenon of video stalling. The buttons and interface design are very simple. At the top, there are only the power button and focus button. In addition to a power port, the interface has only one USB3.0, one HDMI2.0 port, and one 3.5mm audio port. If you are looking for a complete and complete interface and want an external home theater system, micro-projection products such as the F1 PLUS micro whale projection are not suitable. In fact, micro-positioning is very clear, it is not a high-end professional audio and video equipment, but can enjoy high-definition large-screen portable entertainment devices anytime, anywhere. It is worth mentioning that this time F1 PLUS packaging is very high quality, black foam material in the body can be a good protection of the body, parts of the fittings also use a drawer design, gently pull, a kind of exquisite jewelry box sense. The wide color gamut high-contrast micro-projection also has good picture quality. Color and brightness have always been both ends of the scale, and it is difficult to completely balance. When the brightness of the whale projection F1 PLUS comes to 1200 lumens, the color performance is very worthy of attention. At first glance, when a small whale projected a colorful picture of the F1 PLUS, a very familiar feeling could be felt. This was very similar to the color meditation of the micro whale TV that had been evaluated before. There was no pursuit of gorgeousness in order to please the eyeballs. Belong to the small fresh school, very resistant to see. In terms of sharpness, after testing, when performing fine lines and circular images, the edges are more sharply restored and there is no adhesion. In terms of fonts, everything except the two minimum sizes is clearly visible. Of course, when zooming in on the projected image size, it can be seen that there is still a certain degree of fineness in comparison with 1080P and 4K resolutions. Contrast, unlike LCD TV can not be completely black, the projector is in a dark environment, black is black, is pure black. Even if compared to an OLED TV that can completely turn off the pixels, the projector still has an advantage in the dark details. Of course, the above screen shots are all obtained when the interior lights are turned off. Many people want to know how well the 1200-flow brightness effect is achieved without deliberately avoiding light. We have also conducted tests. Turn off the light screen capture screen Open screen capture screen It can be seen that after the lights are turned on, the contrast is not strong when the lights are turned off, because the black part can not be completely black after adding light; the second is the color, and there is no time to turn off the light, the overall picture will look whitish. This is a problem that all projectors have to face. Of course, the brighter the projector is, the stronger the ability to fight ambient light naturally is. This is also an important reason why the micro whale projection F1 PLUS can throw off a crowd of micro-projection products. With 1200 lumens brightness even in the on-light environment, the micro whale projection F1 The PLUS screen is also very good looking. It makes the use of the scene more casual, from "should shading" to "not cover." The system aspect is still the WUI that we are familiar with. This is already one of the more mature and easy-to-use systems in China. Smooth and easy to operate, and support voice control. This has been described in detail before the evaluation of the micro-whale TV and the micro-whale F1 projector, and will not be repeated here. Content, micro-whales have Tencent video, Mango TV, BBC, TVB, Super League, British Nick high-end children and other strength platforms, as well as exclusive panoramic VR channel, called the Internet's largest screen-side of the most complete library. Of the top 100 films at the box office in the Mainland, 74 can be directly watched by the micro whale. The film is fully covered by the billion-dollar discourse cinema and the Douban high-rated movie list is recommended in real time. The purchase of the Micro Whale Project F1 PLUS comes with a diamond membership service worth $499 a year. There is no need to pay extra, large lively variety shows, instant updates of fresh content, but also enjoy 4K high-definition picture quality, no longer need to go to the cinema. Small size, high-energy sound performance exceeded expectations Many projectors, especially micro-projectors, often cut corners in sound quality, such as using only a single speaker. As we all know, single speakers can not form stereo, which greatly reduces the experience. Fortunately, although the small whale projection F1 PLUS is small in size, it retains two powers, each with a 5W dual-speaker design, which perfectly displays the stereo sound field and brings an immersive sense of hearing. The tiny whale projection F1 PLUS is equipped with a newly designed 36mm active stereo speaker, a 40mm bass passive cone, and dual speakers spaced 200mm apart. Additional speaker vibration buffer structure to support Dolby/DTS audio decoding. When listening to music, the stereo sound field brought by the dual speakers can be felt, and the sound fullness is quite good, especially the sound of the mid-high frequency is satisfactory, the low frequency part is full of elasticity, and it is particularly prominent in some R&B music performances. In the movie, the dialogue and the sound level have obvious effects, the details on the sound details are more delicate, the high-frequency transition is natural, and the performance of the large dynamic sound is quite good. In addition, it can also be used as a stand-alone speaker and can read audio files directly from the USB flash drive. Can play the game can also be office shot weapon sharper versatility as a smart projection, small whale projection F1 PLUS support cast screen function, this feature is how easy to use it? Imagine playing "The King's Glory" on a 300-inch big screen is an experience of how to turn the sky, and then brainstorm about a meeting without using a computer, just bring a mobile phone and you can look at the screen. There are a lot of actual scenes like this... These are the real experiences of “moving screens†to bring “small screens to larger screensâ€. iOS AirPlay interface In the same local area network, you only need to enter the screen shot screen of the F1 PLUS. The Android phone will turn on the "Wireless Display" function, and the iOS device will use AirPlay, which can easily achieve a small screen shot. We use the screen-casting function to play the glory of a king. It is really cool to play on the big screen. The details that are not noticed at all times are very clear. The hero's actions and costumes are very difficult to notice on the small screen. A bird's eye view. The delay in playing screen games is a very critical issue. The actual experience of the F1 PLUS in the small whale projection is very low, which depends on the transmission rate of the router and the external network, and it is also closely related to the receiving capability of the projector itself. It is worth mentioning that F1 PLUS supports 802.11 ac 2.4G/5GHz dual-band WiFi, which is recommended for faster and lower-latency 5GHz WiFi. In addition to games, office is another big screen for screencasting applications. WPS Office, a popular office software for Chinese people, is very friendly to the support of the F1 PLUS. It only takes a few yards to solve the project from the document to the PPT. It can be seen through screen shots that both text and numbers can be clearly displayed, and the edges of the fonts are still relatively sharp. More importantly, if the network is not good or there is no network, the tiny whale projection F1 PLUS can also wirelessly cast screens. This feature is not available in many projectors. Just long press the menu key, select "projection hotspot", open the hot spot, connect the "micro whale projection" on the mobile phone wifi connection and input the password displayed on the projection screen, which is very user-friendly. The micro-investment is the quiet power-saving micro-projection. In addition to the small size, another place where “micro†is reflected is power consumption and noise. Compared to traditional projectors that use high-brightness, high-power light bulbs, how does a tiny whale projection F1 PLUS with an LED light source reduce in power consumption? The power marked by the official website is 100W, and we have measured it at about 65W for many times, which is less than the official value. For a home machine with brightness up to 1200 lumens, the measured power can be said to be very power-efficient. But even so, the tiny whale projection F1 PLUS still does not have a built-in battery like the first generation, but also considers the size and power consumption. In terms of noise, the noise value of the F1 PLUS measured at a distance of half a meter from the projector is approximately 33 dB in the evaluation environment with a noise floor value of 30 dB. What is the probability of this value? In a quiet room, the sound of pouring water is about 40 dB, so the noise that can be heard within a half-meter distance is quite small, and even when it is not in mind, it is not even felt. On the fever side, the temperature at the top of the fuselage was not as high as about 31 degrees after playing a 1080P video for an hour and a half. It was slightly higher than room temperature. The heat is mainly concentrated in the air outlet, in which the temperature of the light source is significantly higher, and the front panel is at 37.9°. Fortunately, it is generally not touched here. Concluding Remarks There is no doubt that the biggest highlight of the F1 PLUS project is the highest brightness in the current micro-projection - 1200 ANSI lumens. It frees micro-projectors from the embarrassment of “seeing light and deathâ€, does not need to shave their light, and has a more casual use scene, and further increases their willingness to use it. Although the airframe's compact power consumption is low, the maximum number of screens that can be shot is 300 让, so that when watching movies, the immersive sensation and sensation of TV cannot be compared. However, due to the limitation of resolution, it is not recommended to project to the maximum size, because the graininess will make the picture more subtle. The whale projection F1 PLUS's image quality performance exceeds the individual's expectations. The wider color gamut brings a good color picture. It has a similar style to the micro whale TV in terms of tuning, and it is biased toward small fresh whale, which is resistant to watching. In a word, the whale projection F1 PLUS is a more design-conscious F1, and the high brightness of over 1000 lumens is enough for me to recognise micro-projections. On the basis of maintaining a compact size, the distance from traditional projections was narrowed, and micro-casting was changed from toy-type to practical-type, which enriched the definition and usage of micro-casting.
