17TV depth evaluation - love together, discard music and millet?

Introduction: Lenovo's high-profile new products, Swords and music as millet

On the afternoon of May 20th, 17TV held a press conference in Beijing to formally launch its brand new smart TV internet brand 17TV. Its first new 55i was also officially sold at Tmall with a price of ¥3999 on the same day. 17TV CEO Xiong Wen said that new products are positioned in the mid-to-high end, but the price is close to the people, and he also hopes to shake the market in various ways. 17TV is an Internet brand jointly created by Lenovo and Ali YunOS. Its name has been very distinctive. Although it may be difficult to understand the correct reading of the brand at the beginning, it has seen "love is together" and "being together." After watching TV and other publicity placards, I believe everyone will secretly marvel at the brand's intentions. In the first few days of the official release, Weibo and the circle of friends can see various “bears haunting”. The direct @ Xiaomi and Letv approach is very high-profile, but it also shows Lenovo's strong confidence in this TV.








At the press conference, 17TV CEO Xiong Wenluo listed all the functional points and technical points of 17TV being copied. Those who are familiar with smart TV know that these functions and technologies can be reflected in the current mainstream brand television. 17TV CEO Xiong Wen believes that the current Internet companies pay too much attention to hype, and Lenovo strives to be truthful and pragmatic. It does not pack "sub-core technology," and devotes itself to the quality, function and quality of its products.



After the meeting, the sofa network () purchased the 17TV 55S9i for the first time. After a long wait, this TV finally came to Xiaobian. As a representative product under the Lenovo smart TV Internet brand, what surprises will this 17TV 55S9i bring to everyone? Everyone hurriedly took a look along with Xiaobian's evaluation!





Out of the box experience: high-profile, restrained, amazing



Although prepared early, but the overall packaging of 17TV or make Xiaobian surprised. Although the 55-inch smart TV is an inevitable trend in the market in the future, there are not many big-screen TVs on the market that can really make most consumers affordable, compared to the Internet companies LeTV, Xiaomi, and barley. In the television, Lenovo's 17TV has clearly had a deeper foundation.





Even if you stand there quietly, you can feel the shock brought by the large 55-inch screen.



17TV's packaging is very careful, with a dark buckle drawing design, filled with a lot of foam and protective film inside, will be a good 17TV protection, but also for the user's disassembly and installation facilities.










After removing all the outer packaging, the main body of the 17TV is presented. From the appearance point of view, 17TV's screen frame is very narrow, compared to the 55-inch size, the user can almost ignore when watching, allowing users to enjoy the visual experience brought by the big screen. Lenovo's performance on 17TV with "screwless design" and "hidden cooling" highlighted at the press conference also really surprised Xiaobian.







17TV's random accessories are clearly marked and the installation method is simple and clear. Two people can easily complete it. Such a television, whether it is hanging on the wall or on the table, is believed to be a pleasing artwork.













The 17TV's remote control maintains the same style and design as the TV. It uses a curved shell that resembles a drop of water and looks very refined. Remote control using Bluetooth control, equipped with a hand strap, its main air mouse function is also let Xiaobian very much look forward to. It is worth mentioning that although the remote control itself has been made very small, but the use of the most common two section 5 TV to power, it can also be seen that Lenovo is actually considering for the user's actual use.













Thanks to the overall rear cover design, the 17TV's remote control is very comfortable in the hands, the weight is moderate after the battery is attached, and the key feedback is just right.



In general, although we have already seen the press conference of Lenovo's 17TV, after actually getting this TV, the 17TV's out-of-the-box still gives Xiaobian a very amazing feeling.






Appreciation: simple and stylish design and mature product technology



On the whole, the 17TV adopts the very popular narrow border design. The golden champagne base perfectly integrates with the entire body, making it light and elegant and simple and stylish. The design of the 55-inch screen and ultra-narrow frame allows it to have a larger visual area on the visual sense, while also being able to match well with the home environment.







At the same time, even from the rear, the 17TV is not as sloppy. The invisible heat vents are designed with an interface group that is closely arranged on the side of the fuselage, and no one screw is exposed to the user's eyes. Closer look at the 17TV is the use of fabric body texture, the overall style is also very uniform, on the home is definitely a bright color.













After careful understanding and discovery, 17TV's remote control is also a great source. After collecting hand data based on 20,000 people across the country, 17TV comprehensively considered factors such as holding curve, angle, and cross section, and completed the design of the remote control.







In terms of details, the 17TV is equipped with a rich interface that includes HDMI 2.0, with its A17 architecture CPU and true 4K resolution LED hard screen, which brings users a true 4K Ultra HD video experience. At the same time, support for Bluetooth 4.0 allows users to easily link laptops, stereos, game consoles and other devices to conform to the trend of the times.










For the quality of products that consumers are very concerned about, Lenovo, as a Fortune 500 company, has always had a good reputation for quality control of its own products. According to the words spoken by the 17TV CEO Xiong Wen, Lenovo hopes to use the "explosive money" of 17TV to shake the market and seize the user's living room. The quality control is very strict. In the process of testing, 17TV's toughness also gave Xiao Bian a deep impression. In addition, Lenovo's comprehensive sales of 17TV completely eliminated the user's worries.







To sum up, 17TV's modeling design and craftsmanship standards are very satisfied with Xiaobian, simple but not simple, mature and avant-garde be interpreted as an interpretation of 17TV.
















Use experience: easy-to-use operating system, rich and smooth online resources


A good user experience must speak from the UI. Friends who know about Lenovo TV know that the "sandwich" style UI is a highlight of Lenovo's smart TV. As a brand new Internet brand built by Lenovo Smart TV, 17TV still chooses a “sandwich” style of design. The addition of three interfaces, “TV live streaming, VOD online, and smart applications”, has improved the user’s experience with the product simply, directly, and efficiently. . The operating system owned by the 17TV 55i is optimized based on Ali YunOS and reinterprets the "sandwich UI". The three functions of VOD, APP and TV are juxtaposed in the VOD field on the main interactive interface.
