How mediatek brings intelligence to smart TVs

Xiaomi Mi TV P1 43 inches: the best-selling model of the new lineup

Xiaomi представила линейку телевизоров Mi TV P1 с различными диагоналями – 32, 43, 50 и 55 дюймов. Except for the smallest model, all are 4K resolution.

The lineup covers the price segments from lower to mid-range. Obviously, the most popular model will be the 43″ model as the most affordable 4K TV in the lineup.

Mi TV P1 is an update of the previous Mi TV 4 series. The main visual feature of the new TVs is the frameless design. The guts have also changed. The not too hurried CA55 chipset was replaced by very daring MediaTek MT9611 which had an immediate effect on the perception. The TV is more responsive and faster. Although perhaps here is the merit of Android TV 10, if you remember, the previous generation ran on Android 9 (I do not know if it has received an update or not, write in the Комментарии и мнения владельцев, please!).

The new TVs have support for Dolby Vision and HDR10. And perhaps a conceptual change is worth noting. Xiaomi предлагает использовать телевизор как главный умный экран в доме. There’s a microphone on the body of the TV that picks up the “Okay, Google” command. There is a physical switch to mute the microphone.

How to set up the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick with the remote control

On the TV screen you are asked to press two buttons on the remote at the same time. Do this as shown in the picture to connect the remote to the media player. Then select your language and region. After that, the wizard will prompt you to configure the TV with your Android phone, or skip this step to configure the set-top box with the remote. Since not everyone can do it from the phone, we will first look at the remote control. Press “Skip”. Next, the service offers to choose your home Wi-Fi network and connect to it. Naturally, your router must be on and giving out wireless at this point. Choose your network and connect to it by entering your network password. If the TV set doesn’t build a list of wireless networks, change the region to China / USA or go to the router settings, open the wireless networks section and for the 5 GHz network select a channel that is less than forty-four. In the next step, the wizard prompts you to sign in to your Google account so that you can fully use the TV set-top box. Click on “Sign in” and choose one of the options: phone (or computer) or remote control. We will use the login method from the computer. You are prompted to go to the specified address and enter the code from the TV screen. Enter this address into your computer or phone browser and enter the verification code. Press “Continue”, select your account and press SING IN. Accept the conditions of use, give access to your geodata for the correct operation of the device and enter the menu for installing applications. Choose your own preferences here. You can install all the proposed applications, get acquainted with them and leave the ones you find useful. Uninstalling unnecessary programs will not take much time. Just a few steps left to complete the setup: familiarize yourself with the tutorial slides and accept the Xiaomi user agreement and privacy policy.

To set up your Smart set-top box this way, you’ll need an Android phone and the Google app. In the latter, type in the search line the phrase “device settings” or give the appropriate voice command. Give the service the requested permissions and wait until the phone finds your TV set-top box. Find the set-top box, the application will display a verification code.

To control your set-top box directly from your phone, install the suggested mobile app. Once installed, your phone turns into a remote control with buttons which you can control in the same way as the remote control included in the set. Use it to select videos, change volume, and more. After installing the mobile application or rejecting it, enter a name for your Smart device and install the applications you think are suitable for you. Watch the tutorials and wait until setup is complete. If there are updates, run them as well.

How mediatek brings intelligence to smart TVs

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most talked about technologies in the last couple of years. This is not to say that in one fell swoop mankind has made a technological leap. The point is that existing technology has become more sophisticated, and artificial intelligence capabilities have been added: voice control, machine learning and neural networks. No one is surprised by the AI capabilities of phone cameras anymore. And how these technologies work in today’s TVs? Let’s look at the example of OLED-TV LG C9, already using artificial intelligence in its work.

Technology that improves what we buy and watch TVs for. The image. The use of vast amounts of data opens up a new level of customization possibilities.

Artificial intelligence allows you to adjust the sound of the TV, adjusting to the individual characteristics of the user, rather than choosing from preset profiles.

Speech recognition, control of smart home devices, interaction with smartphones and tablets. These technologies make TVs smarter, and their control is natural.

How exactly do the image processing algorithms work that make the picture in the TV so unbearably beautiful

Of course, it all starts with the processor. It is the computing power of modern processors that underpins all these complex image processing algorithms. The power of the processor LG α9 of the second generation (such is used in the OLED-TVs LG C9 series) allows you to analyze the video image in real time: to recognize objects, increase the clarity of parts, automatically adjust the brightness (depending on lighting conditions in the room where the TV set). And use all the power of this techno-magic for sound.

All of these amazing capabilities come from the amazing performance of processors capable of analyzing and modifying images in 4K resolution in real time

In practice, the image is processed by the processor in several stages. First they analyze what exactly is depicted in the frame (we all know about the recognition technologies, and we know very well how well they work in smartphones). Then the optimization algorithms come into play, selecting the optimal noise reduction, sharpening or detail enhancement where it is needed for a better perception.

In parallel (and all this unnoticeably to the user, in real time) we estimate the scene lighting in the frame. Automatically adjusts the brightness with the help of artificial intelligence algorithms, trained on millions of similar images. As a result, we get a more detailed picture in which you can see the smallest details. Just as the director intended.

Compared to traditional LCD TVs, OLED panels have fewer layers, which allows them to give a brighter picture, the difference of which can be seen with the naked eye. OLED panels do not need additional backlighting and allow you to control the brightness of each of its pixels individually. In addition to these advantages, these great panels also allow for very thin TVs.

An important advantage of OLED panels is the deep black color (pixels literally turn off where necessary, creating a true black, like a turned off screen). Oleds are prized in Hollywood by directors and producers of films with the best visual effects for this feature.

“With LG’s OLED TV, perfect black opens a portal to the world, rather than just showing an image of that world on the screen.”.

“This black is perfect. High contrast makes the picture very clear and voluminous. It’s an incredible experience.”

The core and performance of the 50-inch Mi TV has not changed compared to the 55-inch model. Read the main review.

But the main change is a different screen. The brightness is 330 nits, response time 9 ms. The new screen really suits the TV. By the way, on the site Xiaomi promotes the model, saying that it is “our most colorful TV.”.

About the colorfulness is mentioned in the description of the 65-inch model. It’s also a novelty, introduced at the presentation in May of this year. Accordingly, when choosing a TV from Xiaomi I recommend to pay attention to the latest models and give preference to them, because, other things being equal, their screen is brighter and more lucid.

Now the TV is on sale for 27,990 with a discount of 1,000. Is it worth buying it? The answer to this question should be searched on Yandex.Market. If you remember, a year ago Xiaomi was without competition. Let’s see what’s on today.

And immediately for 30 thousand “white” or slightly cheaper “gray” TV of the seventh series from Samsung with a screen of 50 inches, 4K, refresh rate 100 Hz. Samsung is a leader in the TV market, so it’s worth checking out the model. But remember, this is not an Android TV, but Samsung’s own development.

Not bad! Let’s look further. Next comes another TV market leader LG with a 2019 model. LG 50UM7300 50″ (2019). It’s not an Android TV either, but a webOS-based Smart TV.

And finally. The cheapest 50-inch 4K TV costs 20,000. It’s a certain Polarline model. What kind of TV it is, I have no idea, but it is there and has even collected 7 positive reviews.

Which TV to choose, of course, everyone decides for himself. But until a year ago, Xiaomi was ultimative in terms of a good, cheap TV. Today, the buyer has a choice that includes both no-name manufacturers and market leaders such as LG and Samsung. Of course, we have Xiaomi to thank for this, which by its actions makes everyone move. Mi TV 4S 50 inches is a great smart TV for its money. It can be safely recommended for purchase!

Is it worth to buy a smart TV

Smart TV will be a great addition to your phone. They usually have large screens that support Full HD video, which gives them a huge advantage over laptops and computers.

Before a regular TV, it advantages in the first place the function of Internet access, which is very necessary in today’s world. The disadvantages are the high cost and complexity of control. However, having understood the peculiarities of management, you can master this equipment. In general, the TV is worth buying.
