43-inch smart TV whale WTV43K1 contrast cool open A43 Which is more selling point?

First of all, in terms of appearance, there is still a big difference between the Micro Whale WTV43K1 and the Cool Open A43. The most obvious is the use of color. The micro whale uses a golden and black main color scheme, while the Cool Open A43 is It is silver plus white main color. In addition to the differences in color, here's a look at the difference between the appearance of the two 43-inch smart TV models:

The appearance of microwhales WTV43K1 continues to be the design style of the previous generation of microwhales. In the bottom part of the frame, the gold color scheme of the nano-spraying technique is adopted. This preserves the metallic texture while protecting the metallic coloring time. . The middle of the bottom border is the English logo “WHALEY” of the microwhales. The two sides are arranged with the power entity key, and the power signal lights are arranged on one side. At the bottom of the fuselage panel, it is a herringbone bracket that supports the entire TV. The color and painting process is the same as the bottom frame and has a unified visual effect. Microwhale WTV43K1 smart TV uses an ultra-narrow frame design, and adds metal-like wire drawing, lead-cutting and other processes to the width. The thickness of 18mm is relatively thin in the 43-inch TV model:

Like the micro-whale WTV43K1 smart TV, the Cool-open A43 also adopts a narrow border design in appearance, and the black border and the screen under the off-screen fit a high degree, and the bottom is a double-stent base with a silver-grey glossy surface. Cool-open A43's silver-gray frame uses a metal-like CNC process for edge wrapping, and the metal texture is noticeable. The lower right corner of the front body is the power indicator of the cool-open A43 in the lower left corner of the cool card A43's brand logo. The red light is in the power-off state, and the blue light is in the power-on state. The 21mm body is slightly thicker than the 18mm body of the whale WTV43K1 smart TV:

The back of the micro-whale WTV43K1 smart TV is covered with a single piece of black engineering plastic backplane, and the front screen panel is still attached with screws. The upper body of the back body is arranged with long louvers, and below the fins is the brand LOGO of the whale image of the whale. The next point is the simple device information and 3C authentication of the micro-whale WTV43K1 smart TV. On the back of the Micro Whale WTV43K1 Smart TV, in addition to the above layout, there is a vertical inverted "L" shaped groove:

The back of the cool-open A43 TV and the small whale WTV43K1 smart TV are invariably using a one-piece design. The whole machine does not have too many buttons, but only the power key. In addition to the conventional 3C certification on the back of the fuselage, there is an interface slot hidden in the bottom, this interface slot design allows the back of the fuselage to look more concise integration, but if this position is against the wall Place a TV, insert a U disk every day, you need to move the TV, poor convenience:

The interface of the micro-whale WTV43K1 smart TV is much richer than that of the Cool-open A43, in the L-shaped interface slot behind the micro-whale TV: vertical layout USB3.0 interface 2, HDMI2.0 and audio output, horizontal layout: SPDIF, network port, AV access, APC/HDMI2.0, UART and antenna, interface configuration is complete.

Perhaps it is for the overall back of the unity, even if the recessed interface slot opening is relatively small, so the interface layout can accommodate a more limited. Cool open A43 interface has AV cable, two HDMI ports, network port, USB2.0 port and debug port:

In other aspects of the appearance, the bottom of the slightly bulged WTV43K1 smart TV, HiFi-class audio with a built-in treble bass unit, and the whale WTV43K1 smart TV can enjoy HiFi-quality sound without external sound. The remote controller of the Micro Whale WTV43K1 adopts Bluetooth transmission, which can realize a full range of remote control operations. Micro Whale WTV43K1 smart TV Bluetooth remote control using the 12 key common button layout, in which the voice search button, can not only save the layers of the interface to find the search box time, but also improve the search efficiency.

In addition to the conventional TV remote control, the CoolTV A43 has also introduced the Little Magic Kids mode remote control and the easy-to-control old mode remote control. This is also a difference compared with other brand TVs, but these two The remote controller is not standard on the A43, users with needs need to purchase separately:

First insert a digression, cool open A43 does not support the screen capture function, whether it is using the keyboard or screenshot software, I did not screenshot success, so the following UI and other interface maps are using the camera real shot. Cool open A43 uses Android-based TV system, after several system upgrades, UI has been upgraded to Cool open desktop 5.0. Cool open the desktop divides the contents of the entire CoolTV A43 into five categories: the film and television center, education center, cool open mall, game center and tourism center. At the top of the main interface is the signal and weather information. Press the left button to the left to call out the hidden sidebar. The list includes local media, sources, settings, and TV programs:

The UI of the Whale WTV43K1 adopts the depth-customized WUI with the up and down operation direction as the dominant direction. The navigation bar selects and displays the content under the category. The navigation bar is searched from top to bottom, the signal source, my TV, wonderful recommendation, classification, and application. And settings:
