In recent years, along with the development of the Internet, TV boxes have become an important choice for many people to enhance the entertainment experience in the family living room. At present, TV boxes that we can buy in the market will have configuration, interface, and content. Different, but the actual use of the box, the speed may be a major factor affecting the experience, the following article to talk about these aspects of the use of the TV box.
Is the configuration high?
The mainstream TV boxes sold on the market are almost all systems built with the Android kernel. However, on TV boxes, TV boxes launched at the same time, the difference in the experience of the configuration will not be particularly large.
Almost all TV boxes sold can guarantee the smoothness of the basic operation of the system. The configuration of higher TV boxes also has certain advantages when playing some large-scale video games. And the fluency of the system is also very much related to the optimization of the configuration and system by the manufacturers. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that a TV box with a high configuration has a smoother system performance than a box with a low configuration. This still depends on the actual performance of the product.
Online watching 4K video is a test speed
Now many television boxes will have a lot of online 4K video resources built in, and 4K video resources must occupy more bandwidth resources to play. Xiaobian used only 6M broadband at home, belonging to the configuration can only meet the daily needs of the Internet, the peak speed of only 600kb / s up and down, Xiao Bian used a TV box at this speed tested 4K video playback, found Basically, there will be Caton's situation every 10 seconds. Immediately after loading, the actual viewing experience will be poor, and there will be a situation where you will not want to look at it for 2 minutes. What's more, the whole network is tested under the condition that one TV box is used. If other devices access the Internet and eat some of the internet speed, 4K video online playback will likely have more Caton.
Therefore, if your home network is good enough, it will greatly enhance your viewing experience. Especially now that 4K video resources are constantly increasing, if the network cannot keep up, even the best resources will not be useful.
Do not underestimate the remote control
Many people buy TV box products will not care about the type of remote control. Specifically, the TV boxes sold on the market today are equipped with three types of remote control, including infrared remote control, Bluetooth remote control and wifi remote control. Among them, the Bluetooth remote control and the wifi remote control are similar in terms of the use experience. Basically, no blind corner remote control can be realized, and the infrared remote control has the requirements of the remote control point. Generally, the remote control needs to operate the television box against the remote control.
Some television boxes that use wifi remote control not only implement dead-end remote control, but also support the access of headphones and voice recognition functions on the remote control. This design to enhance the experience should give praise.
From the perspective of using experience, Xiao Bian definitely recommends that everyone buy TV box products equipped with Bluetooth remote control or WIFI remote control, which will greatly enhance the accuracy of the remote control.
Interface can not tolerate?
There are many forms of TV boxes, clip-on, socket-type, and then the traditional shape of the box, and different shape design also makes each box's interface configuration is not the same, the interface is complete box will have RJ45 cable interface, HDMI interface , SD card interface, USB interface, and even audio and video output interface for coping with the design of old TV access boxes. There are many interfaces in the box, the volume will be larger, the interface is less, and the volume will be relatively smaller. If you only want to play online resources, then in fact the box only needs one HDMI interface, if you occasionally pass the U disk, SD cards and other external storage to play video or share pictures, then the interface is complete sure that you can use it later when you want to use it.
In general, the choice of the box with what interface is also different from person to person, Xiaobian recommend or choose a relatively rich interface products as well, this also avoids the possibility of replacing the box because the interface is not enough and a short period of time.
Use the remote control to play the game?
Today, game resources on smart TVs or TV boxes are still quite abundant, but not every manufacturer will have its own TV game box equipped with a corresponding gamepad. More often, when we start the game, the interface guides us. It is necessary to use the gamepad, but not every user will have a gamepad.
What if there is no gamepad? This situation is either played through the remote control or it can not be played directly. If the manufacturer does not always have a matching game controller, then many of the games in the TV box may not be playable, or you may not always use the remote controller to play a video game.
So, use the remote control to play the game? Unless the operation of the game requires only the navigation keys of the remote controller, the game can be easily operated, otherwise the game played through the remote controller is really very rushing.
Can't install third-party applications?
The current TV box will also have an application store in the system, but under normal use, most TV boxes cannot use the USB interface to read externally stored apk files for application installation. This is not a very good experience for users who love toss. The application of the TV box system's own application store may not meet the needs of everyone, but it cannot be installed by external storage. This may also be A retrogression of the use experience. Users can open the installation tutorial on the sofa net in the smart TV / TV box application installation method page to find the installation tutorial you need to install the sofa housekeeper to achieve your purpose of expanding third-party applications for TV boxes.
Summary: There are many TV boxes on the market that perform well, but not every product will meet your needs in all aspects. When you buy a TV box, as long as you can correctly analyze your use of the box, Will you be able to purchase more satisfying products in the market? As for all the aspects listed above that may affect your experience, what do you think will most influence the daily use experience of TV boxes?
