Storm Super TV, let TV hardware keep pace with the times - out of the box!


Foreword:

The name of Stormwind TV has just emerged, and many people may feel unfamiliar and unfamiliar with it. But when it comes to Storm Media, I think computer video game players almost have no idea. The Storm Video Player is still used in PC video playback applications. It is quite famous, has strong decoding ability, supports many formats, provides users with a lot of audio and video resources, and has a lot of audio and video resources on the PC. With the progress of the times, from soft power to hard development, many companies have tried to expand their business. It also brings many new and exotic products to users. In the turbulent technology era, the birth of new products has stimulated users' adrenaline and fierce market competition all the time, providing users with maximum choices, especially TV ranks, a needle "strengthening agent", set off the market, will be excited to ignite, television fans are accustomed to looking forward to new products, waiting for the lowest price, today, the storm brought us the latest masterpiece - storm super body TV, can Once again burning passion, attracting attention, let us unveil the mystery!


Since it is mysterious, we will lift everyone's appetite, start with the accessories, and gradually understand every detail of Superstorm TV. In addition to TV, there are 3 main parts in the storm super body TV package. The first one introduces the remote controller. It is packaged in kraft paper hard shell and designed as a drawer opening method. The top of the package is printed with the product renderings. Grab the ribbon to pull out the built-in drawer.


The TV remote control is a 12-button simplified slim design. The front of the remote control has 12 commonly used function keys. It is simple and simple to complete the TV operation. There is a storm logo on the front bottom and a battery compartment on the bottom of the back. The battery power supply ensures the lightness and compactness of the remote controller, the overall grip of the remote controller is good, and the front end is designed with an infrared emission window. In actual use, the user needs to operate the television at a large angle, and the infrared remote controller is a commonly used remote controller. In the smart box market, remote controllers have begun to use Bluetooth and 2.4G solutions today. Using infrared remote controllers to match emerging smart TVs is indeed a bit low-end. Although infrared remote controllers have good stability, they are not smart enough, their functions are relatively simple, and they are infrared. The remote control is limited by the remote control position (must be aligned with the infrared receiver to the azimuth). In actual use, there is a lot of inconvenience, hope that the manufacturers can increase R&D and investment in the remote control later, so that the good horse can be equipped with a good saddle. With good control, use it more handy.


When I prepared to put away the remote control box, I accidentally found the AV cable hidden in the bottom of the remote control package. This accessory is the second major component of the Storm Super TV. It is a 1 point 3 AV cable, nowadays If thin LCD TVs retain their AV interfaces, most of them are designed as single holes, which can greatly reduce the number of interfaces and reduce the thickness of products. After receiving goods, friends must not be as sloppy as the author, and almost ignore the accessories, red, yellow, White AV cable can still meet the basic connection requirements of many devices.


The third largest accessory is a pair of metal stand bases for TVs, integrated shape, all-metal material, and marked with the L\R direction mark at the connection end.


Before installing the bracket, the author rummaged about whether the package was missing the bracket screw package, but how to find it was not found, the study for a long time, the original screw has been fixed at the factory to the bracket installation position, packaging and transportation, the bracket is placed separately, and television The machine bracket interface is equipped with a plastic mold replacement. Before installing the bracket, the user first removes the screw and takes out the plastic mold, and inserts the metal bracket base into the TV bracket slot according to the orientation of the bracket.


After the bracket is in place, the user needs to tighten the 3 fixing screws. Through the above steps, the TV bracket base is installed. The whole installation process is very simple and easy to operate. Even if there is no after-sale installation, the user has family assistance. You can also complete the installation yourself. A white rubber mat can be seen at the bottom of the stand to ensure the stability of the TV.


After the installation of the metal bracket renderings. From the perspective of both sides of the display, the base of the stand is very similar to the tail of the aircraft, and is perfectly integrated with the TV. The author believes that the base of the traditional LCD TV is basically a middle support large base, and installed on both sides, and the small and exquisite design does give a lot of value to the TV as a whole, and the effect of installation and placement is very good. The metal bracket base and the metal frame of the TV are all made of rose gold. In 2015, it was the absolute dominant color for a long period of time.


After the bracket base is installed, the TV is placed so that we can learn more about the Storm Super TV from the back. Storm Super TV, the whole machine is wrapped in all metal, the frame, the base of rose gold, aluminum magnesium alloy material so that the whole machine more grades, two-thirds of the back of the fuselage are wrapped in metal, the use of relatively rose gold Light colors, metal body can provide better cooling effect in TV work. The main control section on the back of the TV is covered with black EPC material. The Super TV released by the storm was divided into three categories: 42 baht, 50 baht, and 55 baht, all of which are rose gold versions. The product I received this time was 55 baht and the model number was 55B.

55-inch storm super body TV length, width and thickness are: 1235mm732mm12.9mm


Now we will focus on the main control part of the TV, from left to right in order: 3 HDMI interfaces, USB3.0 interface, 2 USB2.0 interfaces, AV input (need to match 1 minute 3 AV adapter cable), Optical fiber input and RJ45 network cable interface, the machine is still quite rich in various types of interfaces, and are designed in the main control side, for the use of side connection, eliminating the need to explore the hole from the front of the hole position plug. But it is worth noting that the main control part is too concentrated in the middle part of the TV, the HDMI high-definition cable and other connections are relatively fixed, rarely move after plugging in, and designed in the middle of the back side, can better hide the wire. But with the USB interface, users who like to watch local games are often plugged in and used. If the TV is placed too close to the wall or wall-mounted, the USB port in the middle of the back of the TV will be difficult to plug in and use. There are still some gaps in the design. It is recommended that the USB interface should be designed with respect to the side of the backside so that the user can easily use the device.


The core of Stormwind TV lies in split design. The main control unit (host) can be freely separated from the TV screen. Just like a computer, the same monitor can always be equipped with a more powerful computer host. The host can also follow the technology. Develop, enhance configuration, and improve performance. There is a host lock knob at the top of the main control section. Rotate left and right to lock and unlock the main unit.


When the lock knob is turned to the open position, hold the reserve hook to pull out the TVkit.


The TVkit mainframe is compact and lightweight, with a dedicated interface design that makes it easy to complete TV upgrades with a single plug. When the TV function is outdated, there is no need to replace the entire TV, and the host can be upgraded separately. Users only need to purchase the latest version of the TVkit host to insert the TV to upgrade the TV function. TVkit includes core processing capabilities such as computing, storage, and data interaction.

Storm Super TV 55B model equipped with host:

CPU 4 core ARM Cortex-A9
GPU 8-Core ARM Mali-450
Memory 2G DDR3
Storage space 16GB (eMMC 5.0)
System style UI
Image Engine Storm Left Eye Engine

Judging from the parameters, the mainframe performance is similar to that of the current mainstream smart box configuration, and it is a mainstream powerful type. High configuration will bring a smoother and faster experience in real-machine operation.


Storm Super TV power supply with a small wedge-shaped along the design, in use, easier to plug, and fit the wall, flapper, not only beautiful, but also does not take up space, in the top of the power supply is still engraved with the storm logo.




The main control part of the Superstorm TV has a beautifully designed concentric circular heat-dissipation hole. In the middle of the heat-dissipating hole, it is also integrated with the visual transparent element to make the product more fashionable and individualized.


The left side of the main control part of the Superstorm TV has the only button on the host, and is a multi-function button, which is officially called “Chi-Key”. Its function is consistent with the navigation key on the remote control, eliminating the need for multiple-key errors. The problem of operation, Chi key can be arbitrarily toggled up and down, at the same time can press the operation, the actual use of the joystick with the XBOX one console joystick. Feel and operation accuracy, convenience are good.


The side of the body of the Superstorm TV body is covered with a rose gold frame, and the aluminum-magnesium alloy material is folded and formed, and with the drawing process, the texture of the product rises linearly.


At the same time, as a 55-inch TV, the thickness of the metal frame can be less than the size of a dime coin, showing that the manufacturers' intentions and the control of the light and thin concepts, from light to thin, are inexhaustible by television and mobile phone manufacturers. The ultimate goal of pursuing.


On both sides of the pedestal and the host, you can see the logo of the storm metal logo on the left. This is the brand's display; on the right side, through the metal grid, you can see the white LED indicator that lights up after the power is on. , indicates that the TV is connected to the power supply. In the remote control operation, there will be a flashing prompt and an operation signal will be received.


The bottom of the TV host is an all-metal rose gold sound-transmitting net, with a 20° oblique angled layered design. Two loudspeakers can be seen through the grid. The oblique angle speaker is more ergonomic and can be used with HiFi-class audio. Bring better and truer listening effects.
