At the end of the year of the year of the sheep, sofa nets jointly HDTVfans exclusive release 2015 network set-top box year-end Hengping! A comprehensive and meticulous horizontal comparison evaluation for the current mainstream smart TV box within 300 yen!
In addition, in 2015, the livelier than the TV box is actually the smart TV market. More and more users have gradually increased their awareness of Internet TV. More and more Internet TV brands have entered the living room, and new products have appeared one after another. The more smart TV-related content and more and more television evaluations appear. So, isn't the box too much valued by internet television?
We think that TV boxes are good, smart TVs are good, as a hardware carrier, carrying content, cut into the living room. The TV box is cheap and convenient, and it belongs to a lot of users who have chosen the content of Internet TV content. In order to help consumers and friends buy products that are truly suitable for themselves in the dazzling network set-top box, it also helps manufacturers to improve the competitiveness of their products. . We continue to inventory and cross the TV box. At the same time, you will also use the data in the horizontal review results to experience the changes that have taken place over the past few years in both manufacturers and markets.
The inventory involved in the manufacturers covers three levels, a total of 11 manufacturers:
1. For veteran manufacturers who have been working hard in the field of high-definition player for many years, such as Kaiboer, Haimeidi, Tianmin, Infik, Yidian and others.
2. Big-name manufacturers, such as Huawei, Skyworth, Xiaomi, and Tmall.
3. New manufacturers, such as Tai Jie, UT Starcom and others.
The Android box models involved also cover three levels, a total of 18 models:
1. Manufacturer's classic hit models, such as Huawei Glory Box, Mortimer d6, Lynx Box TMB300, Kaibor F8, Xiaomi Box 3, Haimei Di TT Box, Haimei Di H7 Three Generation, Skyworth i71 II, Taijie WE30, UT egg 1SMC8638S and so on.
2. The manufacturers' volume models, such as Lynx Box M13, Millet Box mini, Skyworth Q+, Lynx Box M10, Mortimer T2, Open Bor F1 Youth Edition, etc.
3. Taobao popular sales representative models, such as recall code S1, Infinik I9 and so on.
We adopted the views of netizens from last year. This year Hengping will group boxes by price range and divide it into two posts. That is, the box with 200 yuan or less is divided into a group (entry level) of a total of 7 models, of which the recalled code S1 is priced at 99 yuan as the cheapest cross-assessment model. 200--300 yuan box is divided into a group (mainstream level) a total of 11 models, of which Tai Jie WE30 price of 369 yuan for the most expensive models. This article is a horizontal review of mainstream products.
It is worth noting that all test data are based on the firmware and hardware version of the observation (November). Millet box mini version and glory box was launched last year, but because sales have been relatively high, in November when Hengping selection of products, glory box sales in Jingdong was higher than Huawei M330, so choose Hengping products continue to be reference.
As always, the scale and intensity of the inventory is the largest and unique in the entire industry. As the most professional leader in the field of high-definition player, we do the data comprehensiveness, scientific method, and intuitive results. It's best. For this round of inventorying, we set up 132 observation points and 128 weighting coefficients. The entire team completed a total of 2470 tests, 4608 quantifications, 682 statistical data summaries, and 15 capability fields for data analysis and presentation. The dimension establishes 92 charts. Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all members of the inventory team. You have worked hard!
In order to strive for accuracy, we have tried our best to repeatedly check the observation data and repeatedly optimize the weight coefficients. We are confident that the data accuracy of this inventory will be controlled within five thousandths of the error!
In order to ensure that the results are easy to understand, all conclusions will be visualized in the form of tables and charts, allowing consumers and friends to quickly and comprehensively understand the current real gap between TV boxes!
The basic configuration of the program embodies the hardware issues that people are most concerned about, such as "This box is a few cores?", "How fast is the system?", "Is the memory big?" and so on. The ranking results reflect the basic hardware quality of each box. It should be noted that this patch data collection in November, due to Ali cloud system to respond to national policy, so whether to install third-party applications this, in November Hengping machine sampling results shall prevail. And, we suggest that consumers should learn more about the information in the box system and think twice about it.
From the perspective of the basic configuration, the millet box 3 and the Tmallbox TMB300, which are highly valued by consumers, are in the middle and lower levels, and one is in the lower level, reflecting the popularization of the two products, and cutting the low end of the mainstream. The determination of the market; and Huawei glory box ranking is relatively backward, with the old manufacturers of low-end models Timor in the same camp.
Host design, workmanship, materials, number and type of interfaces, operating noise, and so on, represent the main hardware capabilities of a box, as well as what we can see and get. The results of the rankings reflect the true hardware power, because these things are not like the simple program integration, this is the place that needs to reflect the manufacturer's hardware design skill.
The old classic manufacturers, including Kaiboer, Haimeidi, Tianmin, etc. occupy the top three rankings, and are still the first choice for enthusiasts and fans. Huawei, Skyworth, Xiaomi, Tmall and other big manufacturers collectively withdraw to simplify Designed to pull low cost and fit the target group; Infik has been working in the box market for many years, targeting low-end machines to the low-end market.
Power consumption control reflects the trend of energy conservation and environmental protection. The power consumption is naturally as low as possible. The higher the ranking is, the lower the power consumption is. It should be noted that the shutdown power consumption of Kaibor F8, Huawei Glory Box, Taijie WE30, Xiaomi Box 3, and UT eggs is basically the same as the power consumption of the boot, or the power consumption is relatively high, indicating that it is a false shutdown, and it is recommended that the power be unplugged when not in use. .
In addition, the bottom score of the Tage WE30 ranking is low, indicating that the power consumption control of the box used by this box is not good.
A box removes the host, and all remaining parts belong to the accessory configuration. Important parts include power supplies, remote controls, and related cables. In particular, the Tektronix WE30 and the Millet Box 3 are equipped with a Bluetooth remote control that can achieve 360-degree blind remote control. In addition, the millet box 3's remote control has a unique built-in MIC and excellent voice remote control capabilities. .
The millet box 3 with a high degree of market attention scored the highest score in the accessory configuration. Compared with last year's products (the enhanced version of the millet box), the progress was very large, indicating that Xiaomi can actively listen to market feedback and make timely adjustments. The UT Egg and Kaibor F8 are ranked at the bottom, and fever-type buyers need to pay attention to their power supply and remote control capabilities to meet their needs.
The basic ability of a HD box is its local media broadcast control capabilities, including file system support, audio and video media type support, screen output capabilities, playback control capabilities, and color adjustment capabilities. In this session, the inventory team tested the box's capabilities extremely harshly. We built a test sample library containing more than a dozen video formats, more than 50 image formats, and a dozen audio formats, and tested the boxes one by one. Moreover, we have included the scope of investigation for various important factors that affect the local broadcast control capabilities.
The ranking results fully illustrate the product positioning of each box. Among them, Xiaomi box 3, Skyworth i71 II and Haimeidi series attach great importance to the local broadcast control experience, while the top 7 are basically boxes that only pay attention to the on-demand experience. Consumers are clear about their needs when they choose. In addition, the Tektronix WE30 and the opener Bors F8 ranked poorly and scored poorly. This made special criticism and suggestions for improvement. The Xiaomi Box 3 surpassed the Haimedi family and won the first prize. Haimi, who is known for his local control Deira dismounted, Xiaomi deserves praise and encouragement.
For the Android box, the 3D effect can be said to be much worse than the professional RTK/MARVELL/SIGMA box, but it is better than nothing. For those people who like the full development of morality, art and craft, it is better than nothing.
Haimeidi family has always maintained a leading position in the 3D field. To be particularly noteworthy, compared to last year, there is no box that has no 3D capability this year, indicating that manufacturers are making progress, and Tmall's progress is particularly evident.
Subtitles are an important part of HD lovers who often download foreign movies and TV shows. Unless you have foreign life experience, you can easily understand a foreign language, otherwise you must deal with Chinese subtitles.
The three boxes of the countdown results, Temporary D6, Open Borel F8, Tage WE30, do not have any subtitle control capabilities, do not recommend the use of such HD enthusiasts; and Huawei glory box and UT eggs, also have a terrible subtitle experience. Surprisingly, both Tianmin and Kaiboer are veteran manufacturers. From the perspective of R&D capabilities, this should not lead to such a result. It can only indicate that the positioning of a product by a manufacturer results in the loss of its capabilities.
Blu-ray discs belong to a niche group, and such niche groups are enthusiasts among HD enthusiasts. For the TV box, we don't have any expectation of their Blu-ray broadcast control capability, because Blu-ray enthusiasts care not only whether they can play, but also how the picture quality is, and the quality of the current TV box, and professional HD playback. Compared with the machine, there is a certain gap.
In the ranking results, Haimei Di’s two boxes occupy the top three positions. Skyworth i71 also performed well. If you are an introductory Blu-ray enthusiast, then these three boxes are worth trying; the seven boxes that are ranked backwards are Do not have any Blu-ray original capacity, as a mainstream box, have to say that it is regrettable.
CUE support and DTS source code output is a lot of flaws in the Android box, here to Hai Meidi family, millet box 3 and Skyworth i71 second generation of praise, their advantages in the audio field is obvious. The Tmall Box TMB300, Tempest D6, Open Bors F8 and Tage WE30 must be specifically named for criticism, and they are not supported in all 10 areas. Especially the Thai Jie family, from last year's WEBOX to this year's WE30, there is no slightest improvement in local audio broadcast control.
For audiophiles, please select the top four boxes, and for the last seven boxes, please carefully bypass.
User experience is one of the important criteria for measuring the quality of a product. We often refer to it as “user-friendliness†or “convenienceâ€. Key comfort, blindness convenience, one-touch exhalation ability, drag and drop selection, remote control operation of typical scenes, and even whether the key is lost are within the scope of investigation.
Haimeidi TT box and Tmall box TMB300 won the top two of this link; UT Starcom's UT eggs have made remarkable progress in the user experience this year, and it is worthy of praise; the experience of Tianmin series is still relatively poor. criticism. It is worth mentioning that Tmall, as a semi-final player, has placed more emphasis on user experience than Xiaomi, Huawei, and Skyworth in the mainstream box field.
LAN service capabilities include many aspects, from sharing to downloading, from client to server, and from multi-screen interaction to mobile app.
The Sea Med Family and Infik i9 performed well at this stage and deserves commendation. For HD enthusiasts who focus on home LAN applications, these are three models worth considering. The UT eggs produced by UTStarcom are not in the spirit of continuation, lasting last year's status, and lagging far behind other boxes.
Radio and television network live broadcast, this gray zone, do not know how long it can survive, but as long as it survives one day, there are countless fans sought after. After all, it is still the people's free plots.
The ranking results can explain many problems. First of all, all manufacturers are afraid to touch the interests of radio and television, so they all without any built-in features of live broadcast; Second, most of the old HD box manufacturers, from the previous year's group integrated live broadcast, to last year Only a few manufacturers, such as Jieke and Tianmin, dared to withstand the pressure of the big god of broadcasting and television, and took the death and integrated the live broadcast function into their box products. This year, all manufacturers did not have any built-in live broadcast function. This fully explained The sustained power of Broadcasting and Television in 2014-2015 is fruitful. Third, if you are a user who pays great attention to the live broadcast experience and want to be able to install third-party live broadcast software, you can choose more space for mainstream products than at the entry level. Products, however, are governed by national policies, and Alibaba YunOS is the most stringent system for implementation and control. Users are asked to understand their needs before buying.
Compared with live broadcasting, the on-demand risk is much smaller. We also spent a lot of time and effort to get these statistics. In addition, the inventory team attaches great importance to genuine content, because only genuine content can provide consumers with a stable and long-lasting service experience, piracy is not just the rights of copyright parties, but also the rights and interests of consumers. In addition, we advocate that all box manufacturers pay attention to the "Content Rating and Child Lock" function, which is very important for the healthy growth of our next generation. Last year, all boxes did not have this ability, and this year we are pleased to see that The cat’s products have this ability, which is particularly commended.
The top five boxes in the rankings have their own strengths in the on-demand field and are recommended for such users. The Kaibol F8 and Infinik i9 do not support third-party on-demand software.
The energy saving of the device and the previously mentioned power consumption are two different concepts and dimensions. The energy saving focuses on the power management of the device through its own hard and soft cooperating capabilities to achieve energy saving, including automatic standby, scheduled shutdown, and built-in Bluetooth. Wait.
In this session, special praise was given to the Timmin D6, Tektronix WE30 and Lynx Box, but there are also many boxes that scored a zero score. This is also the direction that these related manufacturers need to make further efforts. In addition, Haimei Di as a veteran manufacturer, its R & D strength is no doubt, but its H7 third generation and TT box as mainstream competitors, the performance of this link is disappointing.
The hedge rate and warranty period, which are two important aftermarket indicators, collectively determine the depreciation rate of the box in the hands of consumers.
In this session, Infinity i9 and Huawei glory box ranked the bottom.
Each box has its own characteristics, and of course there are also issues that are specific to them, so the inventory team made the necessary additions to these boxes as follows.
The overall hardware strength ranking reflects the hardware level of a box. If you are very concerned about the hardware configuration, then this ranking is what you need most. However, the quality of a box cannot be seen only in hardware. Firmware is also a very important aspect of inspection. Of course, price factors cannot be ruled out.
First of all, we divide the firmware strength into two levels: local media (downloaded video) playback strength and online media (online transmission of video) application strength. This will enable consumers' friends to better understand the areas that these boxes are good at. In order to pick the boxes that are truly suitable for you. The first is the ranking of local strength. The Haimeidi series won no doubt in the first place, but the gap with the third-placed millet is narrowing, indicating that Haimeidi’s proud signature ability is being shaken, and Can not be underestimated. Please note that the local media player strength of a box cannot be transplanted, and some of the capabilities of online media application capabilities, such as online live/on-demand, can be relatively perfect through the installation of third-party APPs. Therefore, the local strength difference represents a serious injury. . So, if you are a local HD fan, or if you want to take care of your local area, stay away from the bottom-ranking boxes. (KODI/XBMC is not suitable for ordinary consumers)
In the firmware's network strength, the Haimeidi family ranked first in 2013, but in 2014, Xiaomi Box took the top spot in the 2013 Haimeidi family, and the Haimeidi family also held the top three. The status, but the back of the box has not been far behind, this shows that in 2014, the position of the sea Meidi has been shaken; this year, although the sea Meidi family recaptured the position of the champion, but the various boxes of The gap is already small, and it is becoming more and more difficult to consolidate your position by relying on the ability to play online. In addition, in the 2013 year, most of the boxes ranked at the end of the year were big boxes; by 2014, these big-name manufacturers' boxes, with the exception of Huawei's glory box, were all crowded into the top 7; and this year, The manufacturers of big-name manufacturers can already occupy half of the country. On the other hand, the products of the old manufacturers are somewhat unsatisfactory. This shows that the influence of genuine on-demand content is gradually increasing and it has played a crucial role.
We combine the local strength and network strength of the firmware to form a comprehensive final ranking of the firmware. This ranking reflects not only the software strength of each box, but also reflects the software R&D capabilities of various manufacturers. Unsurprisingly, the Haimeidi family has always maintained its advantages, but the gap is gradually narrowing. Skyworth and Xiaomi can be regarded as dark horses in 2015. Although the power is late but the speed is increasing quickly, Haimei Di pursues Haimi Di. We also very much look forward to next year's firmware ranking battle.
Comprehensive strength = hardware strength + firmware strength. This is also the result of the 2015 ranking of the final strength of the year-end review. After tens of thousands of data analysis, we found the most "cow" boxes and the most "bear" boxes. Please applaud them ~~.
If we only want to find the most powerful box, then our inventory is very regrettable, because strength and price are two very disturbing factors - the relationship between them is what we are most concerned about, that It is cost-effective. As an ordinary consumer, if we consider from the perspective of capability and price, what we are pursuing is neither an extreme power school nor an extreme white school, but a practical school. We count the team's ability to divide the price of each box by its price, and get accurate price-to-price ratios. The ranking is as follows. Here we would like to pay special tribute to the Haimeidi H7 three generations, Haimeidi TT box, Skyworth i71 second generation and millet box 3, which are very satisfying both in terms of comprehensive capabilities and cost performance. The value of Haimeidi H7's three generations even exceeds 100% (the value exceeds the price). In addition, Tai Jie WE30 as the only mainstream product price more than 300 yuan, its overall cost performance ranking bottom, indicating that its over-priced, resulting in a deviation of value, it is not recommended to buy. In addition, it is worth mentioning that, if calculated according to the previous value-for-money algorithm, the overall cost-effectiveness of the industry's products this year has been substantially higher than in previous years, indicating that the industry's competition is becoming more and more cruel, and product pricing has become more and more reasonable.
Consumers always want to buy better products with less money. Since each box has its own characteristics and advantages, it is very sensible for ordinary users to choose the box that fits their own needs according to their actual needs. This kind of product is the best for you. Therefore, the inventory team produced their product capability maps from 15 levels (or dimensions) for each box's characteristics, for consumers' friends to purchase for reference, and also for manufacturers to understand the products of friends to continue to improve their products. .

Before the Hengping review, we have been thinking about whether the current TV box has any value in the end. Looking ahead, the current TV box has serious homogenization both in terms of hardware and content, and the monopoly and maturity of big-name manufacturers have occupied. This market dominates sales. A few hundred dollars, is it worthwhile for us to pay so much attention and hard work? The ¥300 price smart TV box is the area that consumers are most concerned about, so this year we have a horizontal review of the smart TV box for this price range. I hope to provide suggestions for everyone's purchase!
In addition, in 2015, the livelier than the TV box is actually the smart TV market. More and more users have gradually increased their awareness of Internet TV. More and more Internet TV brands have entered the living room, and new products have appeared one after another. The more smart TV-related content and more and more television evaluations appear. So, isn't the box too much valued by internet television?
We think that TV boxes are good, smart TVs are good, as a hardware carrier, carrying content, cut into the living room. The TV box is cheap and convenient, and it belongs to a lot of users who have chosen the content of Internet TV content. In order to help consumers and friends buy products that are truly suitable for themselves in the dazzling network set-top box, it also helps manufacturers to improve the competitiveness of their products. . We continue to inventory and cross the TV box. At the same time, you will also use the data in the horizontal review results to experience the changes that have taken place over the past few years in both manufacturers and markets.
The inventory involved in the manufacturers covers three levels, a total of 11 manufacturers:
1. For veteran manufacturers who have been working hard in the field of high-definition player for many years, such as Kaiboer, Haimeidi, Tianmin, Infik, Yidian and others.
2. Big-name manufacturers, such as Huawei, Skyworth, Xiaomi, and Tmall.
3. New manufacturers, such as Tai Jie, UT Starcom and others.
The Android box models involved also cover three levels, a total of 18 models:
1. Manufacturer's classic hit models, such as Huawei Glory Box, Mortimer d6, Lynx Box TMB300, Kaibor F8, Xiaomi Box 3, Haimei Di TT Box, Haimei Di H7 Three Generation, Skyworth i71 II, Taijie WE30, UT egg 1SMC8638S and so on.
2. The manufacturers' volume models, such as Lynx Box M13, Millet Box mini, Skyworth Q+, Lynx Box M10, Mortimer T2, Open Bor F1 Youth Edition, etc.
3. Taobao popular sales representative models, such as recall code S1, Infinik I9 and so on.
We adopted the views of netizens from last year. This year Hengping will group boxes by price range and divide it into two posts. That is, the box with 200 yuan or less is divided into a group (entry level) of a total of 7 models, of which the recalled code S1 is priced at 99 yuan as the cheapest cross-assessment model. 200--300 yuan box is divided into a group (mainstream level) a total of 11 models, of which Tai Jie WE30 price of 369 yuan for the most expensive models. This article is a horizontal review of mainstream products.
It is worth noting that all test data are based on the firmware and hardware version of the observation (November). Millet box mini version and glory box was launched last year, but because sales have been relatively high, in November when Hengping selection of products, glory box sales in Jingdong was higher than Huawei M330, so choose Hengping products continue to be reference.
As always, the scale and intensity of the inventory is the largest and unique in the entire industry. As the most professional leader in the field of high-definition player, we do the data comprehensiveness, scientific method, and intuitive results. It's best. For this round of inventorying, we set up 132 observation points and 128 weighting coefficients. The entire team completed a total of 2470 tests, 4608 quantifications, 682 statistical data summaries, and 15 capability fields for data analysis and presentation. The dimension establishes 92 charts. Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all members of the inventory team. You have worked hard!
In order to strive for accuracy, we have tried our best to repeatedly check the observation data and repeatedly optimize the weight coefficients. We are confident that the data accuracy of this inventory will be controlled within five thousandths of the error!
In order to ensure that the results are easy to understand, all conclusions will be visualized in the form of tables and charts, allowing consumers and friends to quickly and comprehensively understand the current real gap between TV boxes!
The basic configuration of the program embodies the hardware issues that people are most concerned about, such as "This box is a few cores?", "How fast is the system?", "Is the memory big?" and so on. The ranking results reflect the basic hardware quality of each box. It should be noted that this patch data collection in November, due to Ali cloud system to respond to national policy, so whether to install third-party applications this, in November Hengping machine sampling results shall prevail. And, we suggest that consumers should learn more about the information in the box system and think twice about it.
From the perspective of the basic configuration, the millet box 3 and the Tmallbox TMB300, which are highly valued by consumers, are in the middle and lower levels, and one is in the lower level, reflecting the popularization of the two products, and cutting the low end of the mainstream. The determination of the market; and Huawei glory box ranking is relatively backward, with the old manufacturers of low-end models Timor in the same camp.
Host design, workmanship, materials, number and type of interfaces, operating noise, and so on, represent the main hardware capabilities of a box, as well as what we can see and get. The results of the rankings reflect the true hardware power, because these things are not like the simple program integration, this is the place that needs to reflect the manufacturer's hardware design skill.
The old classic manufacturers, including Kaiboer, Haimeidi, Tianmin, etc. occupy the top three rankings, and are still the first choice for enthusiasts and fans. Huawei, Skyworth, Xiaomi, Tmall and other big manufacturers collectively withdraw to simplify Designed to pull low cost and fit the target group; Infik has been working in the box market for many years, targeting low-end machines to the low-end market.
Power consumption control reflects the trend of energy conservation and environmental protection. The power consumption is naturally as low as possible. The higher the ranking is, the lower the power consumption is. It should be noted that the shutdown power consumption of Kaibor F8, Huawei Glory Box, Taijie WE30, Xiaomi Box 3, and UT eggs is basically the same as the power consumption of the boot, or the power consumption is relatively high, indicating that it is a false shutdown, and it is recommended that the power be unplugged when not in use. .
In addition, the bottom score of the Tage WE30 ranking is low, indicating that the power consumption control of the box used by this box is not good.
A box removes the host, and all remaining parts belong to the accessory configuration. Important parts include power supplies, remote controls, and related cables. In particular, the Tektronix WE30 and the Millet Box 3 are equipped with a Bluetooth remote control that can achieve 360-degree blind remote control. In addition, the millet box 3's remote control has a unique built-in MIC and excellent voice remote control capabilities. .
The millet box 3 with a high degree of market attention scored the highest score in the accessory configuration. Compared with last year's products (the enhanced version of the millet box), the progress was very large, indicating that Xiaomi can actively listen to market feedback and make timely adjustments. The UT Egg and Kaibor F8 are ranked at the bottom, and fever-type buyers need to pay attention to their power supply and remote control capabilities to meet their needs.
The basic ability of a HD box is its local media broadcast control capabilities, including file system support, audio and video media type support, screen output capabilities, playback control capabilities, and color adjustment capabilities. In this session, the inventory team tested the box's capabilities extremely harshly. We built a test sample library containing more than a dozen video formats, more than 50 image formats, and a dozen audio formats, and tested the boxes one by one. Moreover, we have included the scope of investigation for various important factors that affect the local broadcast control capabilities.
The ranking results fully illustrate the product positioning of each box. Among them, Xiaomi box 3, Skyworth i71 II and Haimeidi series attach great importance to the local broadcast control experience, while the top 7 are basically boxes that only pay attention to the on-demand experience. Consumers are clear about their needs when they choose. In addition, the Tektronix WE30 and the opener Bors F8 ranked poorly and scored poorly. This made special criticism and suggestions for improvement. The Xiaomi Box 3 surpassed the Haimedi family and won the first prize. Haimi, who is known for his local control Deira dismounted, Xiaomi deserves praise and encouragement.
For the Android box, the 3D effect can be said to be much worse than the professional RTK/MARVELL/SIGMA box, but it is better than nothing. For those people who like the full development of morality, art and craft, it is better than nothing.
Haimeidi family has always maintained a leading position in the 3D field. To be particularly noteworthy, compared to last year, there is no box that has no 3D capability this year, indicating that manufacturers are making progress, and Tmall's progress is particularly evident.
Subtitles are an important part of HD lovers who often download foreign movies and TV shows. Unless you have foreign life experience, you can easily understand a foreign language, otherwise you must deal with Chinese subtitles.
The three boxes of the countdown results, Temporary D6, Open Borel F8, Tage WE30, do not have any subtitle control capabilities, do not recommend the use of such HD enthusiasts; and Huawei glory box and UT eggs, also have a terrible subtitle experience. Surprisingly, both Tianmin and Kaiboer are veteran manufacturers. From the perspective of R&D capabilities, this should not lead to such a result. It can only indicate that the positioning of a product by a manufacturer results in the loss of its capabilities.
Blu-ray discs belong to a niche group, and such niche groups are enthusiasts among HD enthusiasts. For the TV box, we don't have any expectation of their Blu-ray broadcast control capability, because Blu-ray enthusiasts care not only whether they can play, but also how the picture quality is, and the quality of the current TV box, and professional HD playback. Compared with the machine, there is a certain gap.
In the ranking results, Haimei Di’s two boxes occupy the top three positions. Skyworth i71 also performed well. If you are an introductory Blu-ray enthusiast, then these three boxes are worth trying; the seven boxes that are ranked backwards are Do not have any Blu-ray original capacity, as a mainstream box, have to say that it is regrettable.
CUE support and DTS source code output is a lot of flaws in the Android box, here to Hai Meidi family, millet box 3 and Skyworth i71 second generation of praise, their advantages in the audio field is obvious. The Tmall Box TMB300, Tempest D6, Open Bors F8 and Tage WE30 must be specifically named for criticism, and they are not supported in all 10 areas. Especially the Thai Jie family, from last year's WEBOX to this year's WE30, there is no slightest improvement in local audio broadcast control.
For audiophiles, please select the top four boxes, and for the last seven boxes, please carefully bypass.
User experience is one of the important criteria for measuring the quality of a product. We often refer to it as “user-friendliness†or “convenienceâ€. Key comfort, blindness convenience, one-touch exhalation ability, drag and drop selection, remote control operation of typical scenes, and even whether the key is lost are within the scope of investigation.
Haimeidi TT box and Tmall box TMB300 won the top two of this link; UT Starcom's UT eggs have made remarkable progress in the user experience this year, and it is worthy of praise; the experience of Tianmin series is still relatively poor. criticism. It is worth mentioning that Tmall, as a semi-final player, has placed more emphasis on user experience than Xiaomi, Huawei, and Skyworth in the mainstream box field.
LAN service capabilities include many aspects, from sharing to downloading, from client to server, and from multi-screen interaction to mobile app.
The Sea Med Family and Infik i9 performed well at this stage and deserves commendation. For HD enthusiasts who focus on home LAN applications, these are three models worth considering. The UT eggs produced by UTStarcom are not in the spirit of continuation, lasting last year's status, and lagging far behind other boxes.
Radio and television network live broadcast, this gray zone, do not know how long it can survive, but as long as it survives one day, there are countless fans sought after. After all, it is still the people's free plots.
The ranking results can explain many problems. First of all, all manufacturers are afraid to touch the interests of radio and television, so they all without any built-in features of live broadcast; Second, most of the old HD box manufacturers, from the previous year's group integrated live broadcast, to last year Only a few manufacturers, such as Jieke and Tianmin, dared to withstand the pressure of the big god of broadcasting and television, and took the death and integrated the live broadcast function into their box products. This year, all manufacturers did not have any built-in live broadcast function. This fully explained The sustained power of Broadcasting and Television in 2014-2015 is fruitful. Third, if you are a user who pays great attention to the live broadcast experience and want to be able to install third-party live broadcast software, you can choose more space for mainstream products than at the entry level. Products, however, are governed by national policies, and Alibaba YunOS is the most stringent system for implementation and control. Users are asked to understand their needs before buying.
Compared with live broadcasting, the on-demand risk is much smaller. We also spent a lot of time and effort to get these statistics. In addition, the inventory team attaches great importance to genuine content, because only genuine content can provide consumers with a stable and long-lasting service experience, piracy is not just the rights of copyright parties, but also the rights and interests of consumers. In addition, we advocate that all box manufacturers pay attention to the "Content Rating and Child Lock" function, which is very important for the healthy growth of our next generation. Last year, all boxes did not have this ability, and this year we are pleased to see that The cat’s products have this ability, which is particularly commended.
The top five boxes in the rankings have their own strengths in the on-demand field and are recommended for such users. The Kaibol F8 and Infinik i9 do not support third-party on-demand software.
The energy saving of the device and the previously mentioned power consumption are two different concepts and dimensions. The energy saving focuses on the power management of the device through its own hard and soft cooperating capabilities to achieve energy saving, including automatic standby, scheduled shutdown, and built-in Bluetooth. Wait.
In this session, special praise was given to the Timmin D6, Tektronix WE30 and Lynx Box, but there are also many boxes that scored a zero score. This is also the direction that these related manufacturers need to make further efforts. In addition, Haimei Di as a veteran manufacturer, its R & D strength is no doubt, but its H7 third generation and TT box as mainstream competitors, the performance of this link is disappointing.
The hedge rate and warranty period, which are two important aftermarket indicators, collectively determine the depreciation rate of the box in the hands of consumers.
In this session, Infinity i9 and Huawei glory box ranked the bottom.
Each box has its own characteristics, and of course there are also issues that are specific to them, so the inventory team made the necessary additions to these boxes as follows.
The overall hardware strength ranking reflects the hardware level of a box. If you are very concerned about the hardware configuration, then this ranking is what you need most. However, the quality of a box cannot be seen only in hardware. Firmware is also a very important aspect of inspection. Of course, price factors cannot be ruled out.
First of all, we divide the firmware strength into two levels: local media (downloaded video) playback strength and online media (online transmission of video) application strength. This will enable consumers' friends to better understand the areas that these boxes are good at. In order to pick the boxes that are truly suitable for you. The first is the ranking of local strength. The Haimeidi series won no doubt in the first place, but the gap with the third-placed millet is narrowing, indicating that Haimeidi’s proud signature ability is being shaken, and Can not be underestimated. Please note that the local media player strength of a box cannot be transplanted, and some of the capabilities of online media application capabilities, such as online live/on-demand, can be relatively perfect through the installation of third-party APPs. Therefore, the local strength difference represents a serious injury. . So, if you are a local HD fan, or if you want to take care of your local area, stay away from the bottom-ranking boxes. (KODI/XBMC is not suitable for ordinary consumers)
In the firmware's network strength, the Haimeidi family ranked first in 2013, but in 2014, Xiaomi Box took the top spot in the 2013 Haimeidi family, and the Haimeidi family also held the top three. The status, but the back of the box has not been far behind, this shows that in 2014, the position of the sea Meidi has been shaken; this year, although the sea Meidi family recaptured the position of the champion, but the various boxes of The gap is already small, and it is becoming more and more difficult to consolidate your position by relying on the ability to play online. In addition, in the 2013 year, most of the boxes ranked at the end of the year were big boxes; by 2014, these big-name manufacturers' boxes, with the exception of Huawei's glory box, were all crowded into the top 7; and this year, The manufacturers of big-name manufacturers can already occupy half of the country. On the other hand, the products of the old manufacturers are somewhat unsatisfactory. This shows that the influence of genuine on-demand content is gradually increasing and it has played a crucial role.
We combine the local strength and network strength of the firmware to form a comprehensive final ranking of the firmware. This ranking reflects not only the software strength of each box, but also reflects the software R&D capabilities of various manufacturers. Unsurprisingly, the Haimeidi family has always maintained its advantages, but the gap is gradually narrowing. Skyworth and Xiaomi can be regarded as dark horses in 2015. Although the power is late but the speed is increasing quickly, Haimei Di pursues Haimi Di. We also very much look forward to next year's firmware ranking battle.
Comprehensive strength = hardware strength + firmware strength. This is also the result of the 2015 ranking of the final strength of the year-end review. After tens of thousands of data analysis, we found the most "cow" boxes and the most "bear" boxes. Please applaud them ~~.
If we only want to find the most powerful box, then our inventory is very regrettable, because strength and price are two very disturbing factors - the relationship between them is what we are most concerned about, that It is cost-effective. As an ordinary consumer, if we consider from the perspective of capability and price, what we are pursuing is neither an extreme power school nor an extreme white school, but a practical school. We count the team's ability to divide the price of each box by its price, and get accurate price-to-price ratios. The ranking is as follows. Here we would like to pay special tribute to the Haimeidi H7 three generations, Haimeidi TT box, Skyworth i71 second generation and millet box 3, which are very satisfying both in terms of comprehensive capabilities and cost performance. The value of Haimeidi H7's three generations even exceeds 100% (the value exceeds the price). In addition, Tai Jie WE30 as the only mainstream product price more than 300 yuan, its overall cost performance ranking bottom, indicating that its over-priced, resulting in a deviation of value, it is not recommended to buy. In addition, it is worth mentioning that, if calculated according to the previous value-for-money algorithm, the overall cost-effectiveness of the industry's products this year has been substantially higher than in previous years, indicating that the industry's competition is becoming more and more cruel, and product pricing has become more and more reasonable.
Consumers always want to buy better products with less money. Since each box has its own characteristics and advantages, it is very sensible for ordinary users to choose the box that fits their own needs according to their actual needs. This kind of product is the best for you. Therefore, the inventory team produced their product capability maps from 15 levels (or dimensions) for each box's characteristics, for consumers' friends to purchase for reference, and also for manufacturers to understand the products of friends to continue to improve their products. .
