[short circuit three minutes] five crimes of smart TV

I am not an intelligent objector. What I object to is all intelligent intelligence. For example, if you look at station B on a smart TV and press the only menu button on the remote control, the result is a TV setup menu instead of bilibili's setup options. The right to connect the barrage and choose the quality of the picture is not given to me. This makes me feel sorry for it!

You have to admit that people who like smart TV like it very much, and those who hate are scornful. At first, the annoying person is the picture quality party and the person who likes it is the content party. Since then, the international big names have all made smart TVs, and domestic brands have become more and more mature. Later, these well-known TV brands were called Internet brands. As a result, fewer people hated it, and more people liked it. Smart TV became an unstoppable trend.

But my heart has been thinking that today's smart TV is really more convenient than the previous traditional TV? Until at one of the topics, I asked everyone a question:

"There are 10 people here. How many people use smart TVs at home?"

Only two people raised their hands.

This result somewhat exceeded my expectations, because in my prediction, the speed of smart TVs replacing non-smart TVs should be very fast. What is the reason why everyone has not chosen a smart TV yet?

Since we started, we naturally started to speak freely and dissatisfaction with smart TVs was mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Endless advertising;

2. Anti-day buying entrance;

3. Not friendly to middle and old people;

4. The operating logic is different;

5. The more updated the slower.

All of these problems can also be attributed to three words, that is, "degrees of freedom."

At present, most smart TVs use open-source Android systems. The degree of openness can bring users a lot of app choices, but at the same time, it also means giving manufacturers a lot of freedom. To put it bluntly, Internet-brand TVs can be an advertising space for every inch of the screen.

So distinguish between Internet brand television and smart TV? The two are not the same. The remote control used by Internet brand TVs is as simple as Apple TV. The remote controllers of other smart TVs are not much different from the traditional TVs in the past. The typical feature is the number keys, although this number key does not have any significance.

Internet brand televisions have advertisements from boot screen advertisements, idle screen advertisements, and now shutdown. There was also a small partner on the topic that told me that when you watch a drama, there will be pop-up ads that can't be closed, and even there is a link to Taobao that welcomes you to purchase the same paragraph. The "advancedness" of Internet brand TV has been developed to this point, and it really makes me stare. In order to avoid suspicion, here is not what brand name.

Wool is out of the sheep. Internet brands sell so cheaply. Do you think that manufacturers have a conscience?

I used to spend a lot of time teaching parents to use the input switch, because I do not watch digital TV, always playing PS4 or watching TV boxes. Which of the HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and video signals on the menu they do not understand at all, but fortunately they can quickly switch to digital TV signals by pressing the input switch button. When it comes to smart TVs, they are paralyzed because many TVs integrate input switching into the main interface, eliminating the need for key presses. So the previous logic won't work. You must teach them to familiarize yourself with the new software interface. However, many smart TVs hide the signal source switch deeply.

To solve this problem is also very simple, first of all TV boot does not enter the main interface, but directly into the last used signal source, just like traditional TV, some manufacturers have already done so. Or add a source switch on the remote control instead of having to go back to the main interface every time. At this point you will find that the traditional remote control so many buttons are justified. It is not concise, but it is very friendly.

There are many problems with different operation logics, in addition to the source switch and the initial settings, menu conflicts, as well as the freedom of app installation, display of applications, and display of online content. The main interface of different manufacturers is completely different and the operation logic is also different. The TV's operating system is not as unified as the mobile phone. Basically, the manufacturers are happy how to come.

There is also a small partner to Tucao, his home Internet brand TV updated once a week, the more updated the slower, but also often apply the crash. I think this is normal, and the stability of the Android system is not satisfactory, and it really cannot stand the test of time. What should we do at this time? Just like changing a cell phone, changing a TV station is awkward.

I have always highly praised the high level of integration. Smart TVs are the trend of the future. There is no doubt about this. But I do not know why in the country, it has become a tool for manufacturers to profit, as well as smart and intelligent products for the poor.

For smart TVs, its focus should be on the content. How to convey the user's favorite content to the screen most quickly and directly, this is the problem that Smart TV needs to think about, not just a highly customized Android system. I think the smart TVs that are friendly enough should do the following:

1. Simple enough main interface. Placing the functions that users care about most directly on the screen, as for other TV assistants, junk cleaning, news, games, and games, nobody cares about them.

2. Unified operating logic. Do not seek the unity of the interface, but at least it can be standardized. Now that the interface of domestic mobile phones is clearly convergent, I don’t think television is a bad idea.

3. The return of traditional remote control. This is mainly for Internet brand TV. Copying Apple TV's remote control does not make sense. People are just a box, but you have to control the entire TV. Of course, I don't think it's necessary to use the numeric keys.

4. Streamline functions. As mentioned in the first article, TV assistants, junk cleaning, news and information, and games are all useless functions. Don't move the phone set to the TV. As for voice control, I never use it anyway. What about you?

Finally, I would like to say that today's televisions are more and more like a computer. This is a wrong way. TV is used to "see", not to "play", and "play" can be given to TV boxes and game consoles. In addition to watching movies, the others are not the core purpose of television and should be weakened.

There are good hardware and display effects, of course, with a rich content resources, the combination of software and hardware can play the greatest value of a TV. In terms of content, it is recommended to install a sofa butler - the sofa butler is a third-party app store designed specifically for smart TVs, Android box users, carefully providing television, box users with high-quality television exclusive version of the application, including with live Or on-demand video and audio and video software, various types of recreational competitive video game software and daily office entertainment management system management tools. click to download
