The appearance of a product may have opened a large part. From the appearance point of view, the micro whale W50J is still quite different from the previous two generations of products. First of all, in terms of color, the Micro Whale W50J uses an all-black color scheme. The black metal frame and base of the TV are black.

â–² Measured color gamut range
As a 4K Ultra HD TV, the performance of the details of the screen is also worthy of attention. After releasing a group of real shot ultra-high-definition pictures and videos, the screen shot is inevitably slightly distorted, but it is still possible to see the accuracy and transition of the color expression through comparison of different pictures.
â–² Ultra-high definition picture
During the testing process, we used the method of playing local files. Even for high-rate 4K videos, there was no frame skipping during playback. The playback was smooth, and the fast-forward and fast-backward operation response was also very sensitive. The decoding capability of television has been fully reflected. It can be seen that the micro-whale W50J is very good at controlling the color of the picture, combining its own impressive display capabilities, richness of detail and transitional nature.
