For many people, the most indispensable part of home entertainment life is movie viewing equipment. Smart TVs have become four essential items for every new home decoration. However, with people's pursuit of large screens and large sizes in recent years, projectors have become a new choice for more people to consume home appliances. Because, fundamentally speaking, projectors have natural advantages in size, and as the technology gap is filled, it has become a home appliance product for more households to replace TVs.
Xiaojie Technology officially launched its first projector product, Taijie WEBOXT1, after four years, and has become a new dark horse in the smart projector market with a price of 1,000 yuan and mid-to-high-end quality. With Taijie's precipitation in audio and video technology processing, decoding and transmission technology over the years, it has performed better in resolution, lubricity and imaging technology; it has also become the best tool for watching movies in my bedroom.
1. First Knowledge Chapter · Quick Unboxing
The packaging of Taijie WEBOXT1 smart projector is packaged in two layers: transportation box and packaging box. From the perspective of packaging style, it is a simple style, with a linear outline of the brand logo and product on the front.
Open the packaging and you can see that all the accessories inside are wrapped in packaging boxes and packaging film bags, and there are sponge pads. The overall packaging is still very good.
Take out all accessories, the list is as follows: Taijie WEBOX T1 projector host, remote control, No. 7 battery, power adapter, AC power cord and user manual. In terms of grasping the details, although Taijie is a novice in the projector market, it is doing very well.
2. Appreciation Chapter·Product Introduction
From the appearance, the appearance of Taijie WEBOXT1 smart projector is smaller, and it is not square in traditional form, without any aesthetics; it can be seen that Taijie has put in effort and thought about the design of its first projector. The whole look looks very delicate, and the edges and corners are round; the combination of gray and white is also very pleasing to look at.
From the front, the upper part is a large projection lens. This lens uses a fully transparent coating glass material, which is not only resistant to high temperatures, but also has a certain improvement in light transmittance, which can make the picture more high-definition. The small hole next to the lens is the reception window of the remote control. The lower half of the lens is all heat dissipation holes. Taijie has also made some gradient designs in the heat dissipation hole design, so that the excessiveness of the upper and lower halfs is more natural and full of design.
side body is a metal shell, and the lower half is knitted through mesh threading. This not only avoids the overall monotony and slurry, enhances the beauty, but also has a certain anti-scratch and dustproof effect. The top of the body of
is mainly the physical key distribution area of the Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector, and all the function operation keys are concentrated here. From top to bottom, we can see the [Power Key, Return Key] key group, the [Operation Key] group and the [Focus Zoom] key group. In addition, the cylindrical mesh opening is still a heat dissipation hole design, and there is a power indicator light on the top of the heat dissipation hole to facilitate the display of the working status of the power supply.
on the back of the body is the projector's interface distribution area and heat dissipation design. In addition, four foot pads cannot be ignored, which are designed to facilitate lying on the sofa or bed to watch movies. The interfaces in the upper half of
mainly include: 2 USB interfaces, headphone interfaces, audio and video interfaces, HDMI interfaces; in addition, there is a cooling area and product nameplate. Among them, the two USB interfaces can be connected to the storage device to play externally imported videos, music, text, pictures, etc.; the headphone interface can be directly listened to the sound rather than public playback; the audio and video interface can be externally connected to DVD and other playback devices, and the HDMI interface can be connected to laptops and other playback devices. The lower half of
is mainly an integrated wrapping weaving process, and in addition, it is the DC power supply interface. It should be noted that the inner part of the weaving process mesh bag corresponds to Taijie's speaker.
As for the bottom of the device, we can see four very honest support feet, and each support feet has an anti-slip pad. In addition, there is a 1/4 nut port in the middle of the bottom of the entire package, so as to facilitate the suspension of the equipment ceiling or installation on a tripod to play. With this nut port, the limitations of the use of Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector are greatly liberated.
In addition to the host, the main accessories of Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector also include a power cord and a remote control. It is worth mentioning that the power cord is designed to be separated, which is more convenient for storage; the remote control is also equipped with two No. 7 batteries; it is very thoughtful.
3. Test Chapter·Playing Experience
In terms of playback quality and sound quality, the Taijie team has made many attempts in hardware and software in order to present better results. In terms of color restoration, brightness, clarity, interaction system and heat dissipation, which are related to playback quality, we have done a lot of innovation and technical research.
First of all, in terms of resolution, Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector adopts a brand new LCD display technology, achieving a true 1080P resolution. No matter what environment it is projected and viewed, there is no need to manually set it up; when you turn on the projector projection picture is not very positive, you only need to wait for 2 seconds for the device to automatically complete the adjustment, ensuring that you can see the square projection picture no matter any angle you are.
In addition, in order to give users more operational freedom and adjustment space, Taijie not only applies automatic keystone correction technology, but also gives users a variety of adjustment solutions. Click the mute key of the remote control to call out a variety of adjustment solutions, and users can adjust according to their feelings and needs. The pictures below are the projection screens that may appear before adjustment and the projection screens that appear after adjustment, and the comparison is still very clear.
From the clarity change in the figure below, you can see that the excellent adjustment of Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector in focal length adjustment and fine adjustment, the change from blur to clear is also very obvious, and the clarity is also high enough.
followed by brightness. Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector uses a 0.33’DMD chip, which can carry larger physical sizes and physical pixels; if you can understand it, it can carry more beam reflections. After overcoming the technical difficulties of low LEC transmission, the brightness of the projection is greatly improved. After all, more beam reflections are equivalent to a more delicate and clear imaging effect presentation. According to tests from third-party technology, the brightness of the Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector can reach 540ANSI lumens , which is more than 30% higher than the brightness of products at the same price, which is basically the same as products with a price of around 3,000 yuan.
color reduction and contrast are also an important factor affecting viewing. After four years of research and development, the Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector has solved the technical limitations of LCD, coupled with the optimizations of many parties, so that the common rainbow patterns, water ripple, stiff color transitions, and uneven problems common to low-end projectors have been properly solved, and the color reduction is higher. The following is a comparison of the pictures taken in dark light and daytime environments. Although the light during the day is complicated and explosive, the overall color reproduction is still excellent.
In addition, sound quality performance is also an aspect that Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector attaches great importance to, because this is one of the places where Taijie can make differentiated advantages. Although projector equipment is a product with image quality as the main measure, good sound quality will also make the movie more immersive, allowing the audience to enjoy a more excellent visual and auditory feast. In this regard, the Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector has built-in two 5W speaker groups to form a physical sound. After being supported by AI intelligent algorithms and acoustic adjustment of the Jiner Team, the sound quality is also more ambience and three-dimensional, and the experience is better when projecting large pictures.
Finally, what needs to be explained is the outstanding performance of Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector in terms of heat dissipation. Due to long-term projection of the projector, the demand and standards for heat dissipation are very high. Therefore, in order to have better heat dissipation performance, so as to ensure long-term good operation and longer service life of the equipment, Taijie starts from the two aspects of materials and hardware. On the one hand, the entire housing of the Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector adopts an all-metal optical machine design, which conducts heat faster, and the use of polymer cold coating materials effectively improves the efficiency of heat exchange; on the other hand, Taijie has installed a circulating twin-turbo fan inside the fuselage, which can generate greater and stronger wind power, thereby fundamentally driving the dissipation of heat.
4. Interaction Chapter · Operating System
If the image quality part depends more on hardware accumulation, the interactive part depends more on software operating system. As an enterprise that has been in the audio and video industry for more than ten years and has established itself as Taijie Box, the superiority of the software system has also been successfully moved to Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector. Based on the user's pain points, Taijie developed the "zero pole" system and carried out more than 300 technical points to improve the interaction and usefulness of the equipment to the level of a 5,000-yuan product.
After adjusting the focal length by turning on the computer, we agree to the agreement and enter the WEBOX customized system. From the system's navigation bar, you can see categories, selections, TV series, movies, variety shows, games, animations, etc.; the switching of each column can also be done immediately, and the smooth and unstudy performance can meet the requirements of any picky person.
After completing some basic authorization, the device can be used normally. However, because the device is not connected to the Internet, you can only use, cast and play by connecting to a DVD player or plugging into a USB flash drive.
Before officially using the system, we also need to do some pre-setting work on the settings, such as a very important networking distribution network. This is a necessary process for obtaining network resources. The entire networking process is also very simple. You can enter the WiFi password through the auxiliary control. Whether it is a 2.4G or 5G network, it is very convenient.
In addition to network connection, remote control Bluetooth pairing, etc., the settings can also operate on projector settings, system upgrades, system optimization, security and privacy, etc. There is a very praiseworthy feature here. The remote control provides a voice assistant service. After turning on the recording permission, you can long press the voice key on the remote control to issue voice commands.
For example, we can wake up the voice assistant by pressing the voice key and say that we want to watch the movie of Stephen Chow to search for all the works of Stephen Chow on the entire network.
Taijie's "zero pole" system also has a very useful application store. Compared with most projector application stores, Taijie provides a richer variety of software services and more diverse resources. We can enjoy corresponding rights and interests through the app store. Simply put, Taijie's application store provides a relatively rich software. Watching TV includes sofa assistants, TV homes, PC software for video websites, music playback, QQ music, etc., and game live broadcasts include Huya, Douyu, etc., which can meet your needs in audio and video, education, etc.
Here, we only use the music playback QQ music software and video playback kiwi fruit as an example as an example. After downloading and installing QQ Music , we can browse, search, play audio or MV and other related resources normally.
I would like to recommend the Taijie Video software here. The biggest difference between this video software and other audio and video playback software is that it is truly ad-free, and the clarity can also be adjusted. It can play videos with up to 4K resolution, which can be said to be extremely conscience.
The same is true. After downloading the Kiwi APP, we can search for all resources on the iQiyi website.
With the support of network resources and the application of the "zero pole" system, the comprehensive usage experience of Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector is no less than that of traditional smart TVs; at the same time, you can also enjoy a huge screen view of up to 150 inches, whether it is immersive or shocking, it is beyond the reach of smart TVs.
Of course, in addition to these applications, we can also browse, view and process files in portable storage devices by downloading a novice file manager specially designed for projectors, including text viewing, editing, picture viewing, application installation, video playback, music playback, etc.
Here, we only use image viewing and video playback as examples to demonstrate. From the following figure, we can also clearly perceive the improvement of Xiaobai File Manager's management capabilities for projector management. It is precisely with Xiaobai File Manager that can view and use external device resources such as USB flash drives.
5. Summary Chapter·Overall Evaluation
Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector has a very strong overall feeling after using it for 10 days. Although this product is only priced at 1,599 yuan, whether it is material selection, appearance design, clarity, brightness and other core parameters, it has reached or even exceeded some projector products at a price of 3,000 yuan; it can even be compared with 5,000 yuan in the interactive optimization of the operating system, which is quite rare.
As for the shortcomings, the first obvious problem is that the packaging box of the product is slightly thin, so there are some slight wrinkles during violent transportation; the second suggestion is that the voice function can be searched for more rich content, such as local information, weather conditions, etc., and Taijie has its own advantages in software, and these are not problems. However, this is a relatively minor issue. You can optimize the packaging later, and it will not affect its cost-effective comprehensive score.
For Taijie, the brand has been established and the reputation has been stable. So when entering the new market of projectors, the first product must be cost-effective and amazing, so as to gain a foothold. Because only in this way can we live up to the trust of our past consumers and gain the recognition of new consumers. If you are also eager to watch movies on a large screen and have the idea of trying a projector, the Taijie WEBOX T1 smart projector is worth buying and enjoying your experience.
