How comfortable is a comprehensive TV box？ Comparison and evaluation of three mainstream TV boxes

　　Recently, the system that comes with the old TV at home has some cards, and the cost of changing the TV is relatively high. If you add a TV box, the cost will be much lower. But with so many TV boxes on the market, how should you choose?

　　If the budget is between 300 and 500, among the mainstream products, the three boxes of Aurora 5S, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro and Dangbei H3S are considered to be close in configuration. Since the general target has been selected, I simply start all at once, and tell you which one is more worth buying through comparison and evaluation.

　　In order to save everyone’s time, let’s come to a conclusion this time:

　　Tmall Magic Box 8Pro not only has better hardware parameters, but also performs better than Aurora 5S and Dangbei H in actual measurements. 3 S is even better and is the king of the three TV boxes.

　　

　　In order to facilitate a more intuitive comparison, I have summarized the hardware parameters of the three TV boxes and some measured data.

　　After comparing the parameters in the chart with the actual measurements, you should have a general understanding of the three products. If you want to further understand the detailed process of this comparison, you can continue to read.

　　Performance comparison:

　　Like all smart devices, the quality of the TV box experience depends first and foremost on "performance", and as a user, the most intuitive perception of "performance" is nothing more than four aspects: one is the score score; the other is the boot speed; the third is the APP loading speed; and the fourth is the video startup speed. I also focused on the comparison test of the three TV boxes from these four aspects.

　　[Performance score] Performance score is the most intuitive performance embodiment. The higher the score of a TV box, the stronger its overall performance. Using Antutu score measurement, the score of Tmall Magic Box 8Pro reached 55,812 points, the best score among the three TV boxes, followed by Tencent Aurora 5S, and Dangbei H3S.

　　[Summary] Tmall Magic Box 8Pro > Tencent Aurora 5S > Dangbei H3S

　　

　　[Boot Speed] In the actual experience, the perception of the performance of a TV box actually starts from the moment you press the "power button". The faster the boot, the shorter the time we need to wait, and the faster we can see the program we want to watch. In the actual boot speed measurement, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro only took 17 seconds to boot, while when Bei H3S took 30 seconds, it was still at the bottom.

　　[Summary] Tmall Magic Box 8Pro > Tencent Aurora 5S > Dangbei H3S

　　

　　[APP loading speed] APP loading speed is also a side reflection of performance, reflecting the scheduling of TV boxes for "performance". In order to ensure the accuracy of the test, I cleaned the background of each box before the test, and then turned on Kiwi TV, Cloud Audio-Visual Aurora and Mango TV respectively. In the test results, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro still leads in all aspects, even surpassing the second-place Aurora 5S in the loading speed of Kiwi TV and Cloud Audio-Visual Aurora by nearly 1s; while Aurora 5S and Dangbei H3S win or lose each other.

　　[Summary] Tmall Magic Box 8Pro > Tencent Aurora 5S > Dangbei H3S

　　

　　[Video Startup Speed] The video startup speed reflects the optimization of a TV box for a certain video APP to a certain extent. It is easiest to ignore, but it also tests the TV box manufacturer’s attention to details. Here, Kumeow is used as the test APP to test the opening speed of the same video for three TV boxes. The measured Tmall Magic Box 8Pro took 1.28s, Aurora 5S took 1.72s, and Dangbei H3S took 1.93s.

　　[Summary] Tmall Magic Box 8Pro > Tencent Aurora 5S > Dangbei H3S

　　

　　[Conclusion] After four rounds of testing, it is not difficult to see that the Tmall Magic Box 8 Pro performs better in all tests, making it the king of performance. Although the price of the Dangbei H3S is similar to that of the other two models, its performance is much worse.

　　

　　So what is the reason for the "performance gap"? In fact, it mainly comes from three aspects: the processor chip, the random access memory and the storage space.

　　The first is the processor chip. It is the core hardware of the TV box’s performance, and its performance not only determines the running speed of the TV box, but also determines the decoding ability of the TV box. Among the three TV boxes, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro uses Amlogic S905x4, and its theoretical performance is the strongest among the three boxes, while the RK3566 used by Dangbei H3S, whether it is 22nm process or 512K cache, is far behind the other two TV boxes.

　　Secondly, random access memory and storage space. The random access memory determines the fluency of the APP during continuous operation, and the storage space, as the hub of data storage and transmission, determines to a certain extent the number of APPs that can be installed on the TV box and the speed of reading and writing content. These two also have an important impact on the performance and user experience of the TV box, so generally when purchasing smart devices, the same price, we should tend to choose these two configurations larger. Among the three TV boxes, Aurora 5S and Tmall Magic Box 8Pro both give 4GB random access memory + 64GB storage space configuration, while Dangbei H3S is only 3GB + 32GB, which is also an important reason why Dangbei H3S is lagging behind as a whole.

　　Audio-visual performance comparison

　　As a TV box, its "audio and video performance" is more a test of the decoding ability of the processor chip and the support for audio standards.

　　In terms of decoding capabilities, in the past, due to outdated technology, some old TV boxes could only support 1080P video decoding at most, so we had no way to output some 4K film sources through it. The three TV boxes tested this time were able to support 8K video decoding, which is completely sufficient for the mainstream 4K and even 8K source videos currently on the market.

　　In terms of clarity, this time using an external U disk to play the local 4K 60fps Blu-ray original video to test, by comparing the three TV boxes to play the same frame of the same film source, it can be seen that the three TV boxes all support HDR 10 + Under the premise, the difference in image quality is actually not big.

　　In addition to the image quality experience, the sound experience is equally important. Among the three TV boxes, Aurora 5S and Tmall Magic Box 8Pro have comprehensive support for audio standards. At present, Dolby Audio and DTS audio in mainstream movies can be output perfectly. When Bei H3S lacks support for these, when playing some movies using DTS audio, there will be only pictures and no sound, which will greatly affect the use experience.

　　[Conclusion] In the audio-visual comparison, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro = Aurora 5S > Dangbei H3S, if you like to watch some original movies or videos, then Tmall mill box The 8Pro and Aurora 5S would be better options.

　　

　　Other comparisons

　　In addition to performance and sound and picture, these three TV boxes also have some differentiated experiences in other aspects. As part of the overall experience, I have included them here to illustrate.

　　[Network Support] A major application scenario of the TV box is to play videos on major video APPs or other networks. In addition to performance, it also has a strong dependence on the network. In terms of wireless network, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro adopts an omnidirectional three-antenna module design, which is better than the other two network signal stability In addition, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro and Aurora 5S provide an RJ45 standard gigabit wired network port more than Dangbei H3S, which is more stable than wireless network transmission. We use TV boxes every day. If possible, it is recommended that you choose a wired network for networking as much as possible, so that it is more stable when watching online videos or using a home NAS to watch local videos.

　　[Summary] Tmall Magic Box 8Pro > Tencent Aurora 5S > Dangbei H3S

　　

　　[Remote Control] In addition to supporting Bluetooth connection, The remote control of Tmall Magic Box 8Pro also supports the "infrared learning" function, which can learn the infrared signal of the TV remote control, so that only the remote control of Tmall Magic Box 8Pro can realize the functions of turning on and off the TV and the TV box respectively, adjusting the volume, etc., which well solves the trouble of controlling the TV and the TV box to switch back and forth using two remote controls. This is also more user-friendly than the other two TV boxes.

　　[Summary] Tmall Magic Box 8Pro > Tencent Aurora 5S = Dangbei H3S

　　

　　[Interface] In terms of interfaces, although all three TV boxes come standard with HDMI interfaces, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro and Dangbei H3S support HDMI 2.1 protocol, which is faster and more comprehensive in terms of transmission rate, resolution, and HDR and audio support than the HDMI 2.0 protocol supported by Aurora 5S.

　　Although the USB ports on the three TV boxes "seem" to be 3.0 standard, in fact, only Tmall Magic Box 8Pro and Dangbei H3S are USB 3.0 standard, and the blue USB port of Aurora 5S is only USB 2.0 standard, which is reflected in daily use. If external storage is connected, then obviously the data transfer rate of Tmall Magic Box 8Pro and Dangbei H3S is much faster, and the video and file opening speed is also faster.

　　[Summary] Dangbei H3S > Tmall Magic Box 8Pro > Tencent Aurora 5S

　　


　　[Appearance design] In terms of design, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro is the smallest of the three TV boxes, and it borrows the design style of vinyl record player, which looks very delicate. In contrast, Tencent Aurora 5S and Dangbei H3S are not only larger in size, but also relatively simple in design.

　　experience summary

　　In these three TV boxes, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro is better in terms of hardware configuration and real-world experience, and the price is lower than the other two. If you want to buy a TV box at this price, Tmall Magic Box 8Pro is undoubtedly a better choice.

Experts analyze ＂Above the Cliff＂： Can Zhang Yimou’s first spy war film be played？


Special feature of 1905 film network　There is still one week left, which is the happy May Day holiday. Do you know where you want to go? Anyway, Xiaobian has already made an appointment with a friend and intends to take advantage of May Day to make a few scripts to kill the fun.


As a veteran player, Xiao Bian has long been trained to choose a good script. However, this year’s May 1 movie, Xiaobian looks at it, isn’t this a hardcore+reversal+emotional top script kill! If you are a script killer like Xiao Bian, then you can’t miss this movie, and listen to Xiao Bian explain it to you.



If you want to choose a good script, the first step, of course, is to look at the plot first. As a spy film, "Above the Cliff" has very high requirements for plot and narrative, and among them, reversing the plot is of course the most exciting place, which will make people get goose bumps at once. As a spy film, Above the Cliff is a layered game. The villain’s IQ is online all the time, and one who doesn’t pay attention is that life is worse than death. One second you thought the enemy was on the first floor, but he was on the third floor, but the protagonist might be in the atmosphere!



Teacher Yu Chen, who is a guest of "Today’s Film Review" today, also said: "The effect of this film is that it is reversed one after another. This density is very high and the plot is very strong. On this basis, there are also relatively strong emotions. " No one knows what will happen in the next moment before the end.


Teacher Yu Chen also put forward effective inversion and ineffective inversion, and ineffective inversion. "I call it a pancake-like inversion. When I turn it over for a while, this person is good, he is bad for a while, good for a while, and bad for a while. This is invalid." Therefore, the basic law should also be emphasized in the reversal. If the reversal is good, it will be unexpected; If the inversion is not good, it would be an insult to IQ.



The second criterion is, of course, whether the script is well written. In the film "Above the Cliff", that is of course the aesthetic design of the old man. The scene of the movie "Above the Cliff" is set in Harbin, a snowy city in the northeast. The whole process is covered with goose feathers and snow. "Such a big snow is not only in China movies, but also in such a thick amount of snow. It is very rare to go and shoot a movie." All of a sudden, a bleak and clever atmosphere was created.



In addition to the beautiful scenery, the action scenes are also wonderful. Take car chasing as an example. When it comes to the drama of car chasing, it is not like Hollywood, where the whole street is always presented to you, but it is appropriate to show its excitement and tension with the whole environment. "It’s not showing its quickness and flying, but it’s very consistent with this environment, this era, this snowy day and this temperament and atmosphere, so you can still feel the beauty of the action itself."



And finally, it is the emotional part. Recently, Xiao Bian is very fond of emotional books. Every time he goes to play, he is in tears. In addition to the exciting spy war, there are also two couples, the old revolutionary cp, and some young couples.



No matter which pair they are, they all have touching feelings unique in the revolutionary era. Two lovers who love each other deeply should put tasks and orders first in the era of war. Let’s show you the scene of Zhang Yi’s character being tortured and electrocuted, which is really worrying.



The rest of the small series will not be spoiled for everyone, and the ending of the two couples will be left to everyone to go to the cinema to find the answer.


So after listening to Xiaobian’s introduction, I don’t know if you want to go to the cinema to experience such a movie that is comparable to the top script killing experience. If Xiaobian doesn’t satisfy everyone, click on the video below to listen to more wonderful interpretations of Above the Cliff by Yu Chen!


Today’s film reviewDirector’s observation:Above the Cliff is a new attempt by the director for suspense. As the guest said, this is a return to nature directed by Zhang Yimou. He emphasized narrative, but did not abandon other things. It is already a high-level display that he controls the aesthetics in his bones and the control of actors at the basic level. For subsequent spy war movies, Above the Cliff deserves this position and can bring new feelings to the audience. (Tommy, director of Today’s Film Review.)


China will further improve the monitoring and early warning of disastrous weather.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 10 (Reporter Huang Yao) In 2024, China will further enhance its ability to monitor and warn severe weather and do its best to prevent and reduce meteorological disasters.

　　This is what the reporter learned at the 2024 National Meteorological Work Conference, which opened on the 10th. Chen Zhenlin, director of the China Meteorological Bureau, introduced at the meeting that in 2023, the 24-hour average path prediction error of typhoons in China was 62 kilometers, the best in history; The accuracy of 24-hour rainstorm forecast has reached a new high; The warning signal of severe convective weather was released 43 minutes in advance.

　　Under the background of climate warming, extreme weather and climate events occur frequently and violently. Chen Zhenlin said that meteorological departments should strengthen meteorological disaster risk prediction and response, pay close attention to monitoring, forecasting and early warning services, further improve the linkage mechanism of disaster prevention and mitigation led by meteorological early warning, and build the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation.

　　According to reports, in 2024, the meteorological department will further enhance the monitoring and early warning capability of severe weather by strengthening the monitoring and early warning of short-term approaching weather, doing a good job in point-to-point accurate forecasting and rolling update, strengthening the construction of national and provincial short-term monitoring and early warning platforms, and promoting the adjustment of rainstorm early warning signals.

　　At the same time, the meteorological department will also improve the emergency response and linkage mechanism for disaster prevention and mitigation, including promoting the full integration of meteorological services into the local comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation command and dispatch work system, improving the "calling" mechanism and process of high-level meteorological disaster early warning, fully implementing the progressive meteorological service mechanism, encouraging chief forecasters to interpret weather trends and disaster impacts online, and enhancing the prevention capability of meteorological disasters in the whole society.

Reading music Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s ＂Overfire＂： Yes, yes, I started to sing like crazy again. …

Reading Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s "Overfire" in Music.

The song "Going Too Far" is really a classic in Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s music library. On July 8, 2023, I went to see the Jeff Chang Shin-Che Concert in Fuzhou for the first time, and the first song I sang was "Overfire", which was almost a chorus of the whole audience. How can people not remember it deeply?

This song has a deep pain, but it also has a feeling of no resentment, but it seems that it has all ended. Sometimes it even feels that it has ended before it started. Sometimes, is it completely released to give freedom to the other party? There is no answer, only through. After scenes of crazy years for love, after a deep commitment for love, and after a struggle for right and wrong, do you release and fly?

If these are all too much, then let go, let go, and set you free. Just turn around and turn around, and the affectionate scenes will be gone? I don’t know what the dream is, will it be broken, and the short-term pain will still suddenly come to mind at an unknown time of the year. Turbulent emotions, such as waves beating against the giant glass of high-rise buildings, just can’t get in, still! But the voice that resounded through Genting plunged the whirlpool of feelings deeper and deeper until it was unforgettable, right? Can’t forget it.

Therefore, listening to this song "Overfire", the fault of tearing and the drifting away of commitment become clear and profound at night! Clouds are like smoke, and if alcohol evaporates, it will disperse when walking. Do you think that the kind of moths that used to throw fire is a kind of "fire"? But those who don’t come back can’t come back, and even more whispers can’t change anything.

Just listening to this song "Overfire", I just seem to think about him or her, but I have fallen into the precious "entanglement" of being loved and loved, let go and left, and gradually I can’t go back. Really? Yes, I started singing like crazy again.
