In August 2012, Sony introduced the first ultra-high definition UHD (4K) TV in the Chinese market. After a period of 5 years, China still did not open a 4K TV signal source, which means that 4K TV users in China basically do not realize the so-called Ultra HD 4K. The quality of the picture, and the fact that various "4K TVs are meaningless" sounds are endless. So is 4K TV really meaningless? Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, this conclusion is correct. The author believes that before the arrival of Radio 4K TV signal source (without any time), there are only three types of users in the Chinese market that can play the value of 4K TVs to a certain extent. It is clear that the keywords are "somewhat". Yes, even if it is These three types of players can only enjoy the stunning picture quality brought by 4K ultra high definition under the right conditions. The three types of users are: (1) HD player (2) PS4 Pr Players (3) Blu-ray 4K player users Intel NUC is an official microcomputer produced by a notebook processor architecture. The same configuration is divided into thin and thick boards. The difference between the two is that the thin board can only install one M2 PCI-E SSD (NVME), and the board is This can also be based on a 2.5-inch hard drive. Obviously, the thin plate is even lighter than the thick plate, but for high-definition players, the thick plate is the more rational choice, after all, high-definition movies are often about 15GB (1080p), 60GB (4K) capacity, solid-state hard drive "capacity "Simply "lost money from grandma's family to family." Video files do not have too high requirements for hard disk read and write speeds. Mechanical hard drives are cheap and have a large capacity, which is very much in line with the needs of HD players. The Intel NUC minicomputer is very compact, measuring 115 x 111 x 48mm (thickness 32mm), even smaller than a slap, and one hand can easily pick up the entire box, not to mention the compact body unit. It is worth mentioning that this mini computer provides four USB 3.0 ports, and the front panel yellow interface supports the charging of mobile electronic devices (smartphones, etc.). For a commuter and HD player, the compact size of the Intel NUC is more convenient than the laptop (if you prefer, the bag is much easier to carry than a laptop), but it can meet the multiple needs of office and high-definition playback. Very Nice choice. Next, the cruel dismemberment... â— Intel NUC mini computer installation analysis There is an old saying called "small, full-fledged sparrow," which is very suitable for describing the Intel NUC minicomputer. Its compact body has a very high degree of integration, motherboard, CPU, wireless module, Bluetooth and infrared modules, etc. Behind the cover can be installed 2.5-inch hard drive, Intel carefully using anti-off screw design, do not worry about missing screws. Although there are currently 1TB or more SSDs, the price is very expensive, even more expensive than Intel NUC minicomputers. This is the main reason why the author buys thick boards. At present, the Apple MacBook Pro, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 and Dell XPS series of million-dollar notebook computers, memory still remains at the level of DDR3L, and Intel NUC already supports DDR4 memory standards, which is still very comfortable. Intel NUC thick board can expand the design of the 2.5 hard drive compartment is very clever, users do not need to plug the SATA power cord and data cable, directly into the hard disk drive 2.5-inch hard drive, a push to complete the installation. Even players with no hands-on ability can easily handle it, and for players with DIY hands-on capabilities, the entire installation process will take 2 minutes. The Intel NUC minicomputer is incredibly compact, but the design is very sophisticated. Intel is not limited to the top chip companies. It comes with a large number of accessories, including multi-national multi-regional power adapters, rack kits and screws, motherboard button batteries, and a large number of manuals. . The above is the description of the Intel NUC Microcomputer Industrial Design and Installation section, followed by the 4K video testing session. â— Preparation for Intel NUC test I have bought this Intel NUC minicomputer for a while (belonging to the sixth generation, the current seventh generation is already available, the price is a bit imaginary), and get the firmware for the first time. â— Intel NUC use experience sharing From an experience point of view, the Intel NUC minicomputer has almost no presence because it cannot be seen at all. After the mobile platform i5 processor is equipped with a high-speed PCI-E SSD and advanced DDR4 memory, the overall operating speed is still very safe. Most of the time, the CPU is in the state of 800MHz, even if the 4K Ultra HD video is played, it will not be in a full load state (subsequently, there are actually measured). In addition to the performance experience, the Intel NUC minicomputer is very quiet. When it's late in the night, ears close to the NUC can hear that there is a cooling fan inside. Therefore, even if you don't play high-definition games and don't play large-scale computer games, this little guy is simply an office weapon and has a great experience. The previous test of the TV channel showed that the online video 1080p image quality was not as good as the local 720p image quality. Similarly, even if the online video really provides "the so-called 4K version", its true picture quality will certainly be weaker than the local 1080p video. Today, we want to use this big NUC micro computer to challenge the true 4K movie (average capacity exceeds 60GB). Will it succeed? â— "Burners 5" Blu-ray 4K: burst burst 1080p Blu-ray 1080p era, we have H.264 encoding format, Blu-ray 4K era, we have H.265/HEVC encoding format, otherwise a Blu-ray 4K movie may not block the capacity of 200GB. First of all, the Blu-ray 4K material we tested was "Bureaucracy 5" and the video extraction capacity was 57.7GB. Jason Byrne (David Weber) should be the movie that most men will love. Before this Blu-ray 4K source appeared, I watched the 1080p version. After four times, the overall picture quality burst 1080p (not forgetting). It is gratifying that the Intel NUC Microcomputer decoding Ultra-High Definition Blu-ray 4K source is relatively easy, can play smoothly, and the body temperature has not significantly improved. â— "Batman Wars Superman" Blu-ray 4K HDR test The standard "Burners 5" Blu-ray 4K movies, not to mention the Intel NUC micro-computer, then on this basis with the HDR format it? Here we invite the "Batman Wars Superman" Blu-ray 4K HDR source, video capture capacity of 70.8GB. Currently, 4K TVs on the market all support HDR, and the 3,000-yuan 55-inch 4K TV is no exception. However, if the quality of a TV itself is not good enough, is there any significance to support HDR? Judging from a large number of test experiences, the author can be very responsible to say that TVs within 10,000 yuan can be used for basic image quality, and relatively poor image quality support HDR technology is not very meaningful. Therefore, too many tests have proved that HDR effects can only be truly satisfactory for high-end TVs with excellent image quality fundamentals. â— 4K/1080p/720p contrast measured: bright eyes "Where is the magical animal?" is a movie with a very good reputation. The details of the brick wall, 4K is quite clear, the details in the 1080p gap are obviously not as good as 4K, and the 720p contrast has almost no clear place. "Smurf" 4K details the most vividly portrayed, 1080p white beard is far less smooth than 4K, 720p simply looks like a doll. It can only be said that there is no harm without comparison. â— Write last This test does not mean to say how good the Intel NUC microcomputer is, but it is really very good to verify 4K image quality. In fact, Dell, Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock, Sotec and other famous computer hardware brands all involve microcomputers. The future trend of lightweight, energy-saving, and high integration of the PC is obvious. In particular, Intel’s 8th generation Core processors will be released on August 21st. The core graphics will be renamed from HD Graphics to UHD Graphics. Intel’s lead will mean that the PC industry will Focus on the deployment of video industry. The future will certainly be better than it is now, but at this stage 4K television has completely penetrated into the mainstream consumer market, and the mainstream consumer groups have basically had no chance to watch the 4K picture quality in the true sense. This is still quite awkward. In this regard, TV manufacturers who are eager for quick successes must bear some responsibility, and promote 4K TVs only to seek profits, and do not care about the current status of the 4K content industry. This is a sadness for the video industry and a sad for mainstream consumers. As the author said at the beginning, if you are not a HD player, you do not know what a Blu-ray 4K player is, nor is it a PS4 Pro console player. I'm sorry, your 4K TV is really not that different from “wasteâ€. Unfortunately, this situation will not improve much in the foreseeable future 3 to 5 years. Remember one sentence: To a large extent, it is not the TV itself that determines the picture quality, but the content source. Finally, there is a very definite news that 8K TV will soon be listed in China. I will not say anything and leave it to you to judge.

Experienced players tell you: Why 99% of users do not see 4K quality
You bought a 4K TV, in fact... really nothing!
Constrained by the economic situation, the author can only be the first two types of users, Blu-ray 4K player is unable to bear. How to define HD players? At least have to toss PT for a few years to count it, as a senior player HD, I actually can not download too many 4K movie sources, the same reason, although the Sony PS4 Pro powerful, but really support 4K resolution game It is also quite limited, so the keyword is "somewhat". As for Blu-ray 4K player users, if the economic conditions are good enough, the probability of enjoying 4K Ultra HD is slightly higher than the former two types of users.
The author is a game console player, so the demand for PC hardware is not very high, and only requires the PC hardware to play 4K videos smoothly. The more compact PCs with more power saving, the better choices. Ever since, about half a year ago to buy an Intel NUC micro computer, in fact, the author around a lot of high-definition players also choose Intel NUC micro-computer, this small to incredible "small box" Why is the favor of high-definition players? We use diagrams to briefly introduce the product, and then enter the specific evaluation section.
â— Intel NUC Product Introduction
Intel NUC WeChat computer has built-in WiFi+Bluetooth module with the latest protocol standard, but also provides RJ45 network port (more stable for downloading HD resources). The Mini DisplayPort interface can be connected for office applications, and HDMI can be connected to Ultra HD 4K TV (7th Generation NUC Support HDMI 2.0 standard), in addition there is no other redundant interface, very simple and practical.
The Intel NUC WeChat computer is a “quasi-system†that requires the installation of a PCI-E SSD and DDR4 notebook memory before it can be used, which means that it must be disassembled.
Although HDR technology has been very hot since last year, video that actually supports HDR technology is still relatively rare. Batman Superman is one of the few HDR movies that can be downloaded (HDRP versions are not available for 1080p movies). Fortunately, Intel NUC minicomputers still have no problems and have good playback fluency.
It has been said how good the 4K picture quality is and how impressive the 4K HDR picture quality is. For this reason, the author downloaded the local versions of "The Magical Animals" and "The Blue Wizard" in their respective 4K, 1080p, and 720p versions. The same screen was compared and measured, as follows:
However, I still want to make up for a knife, mainstream mainstream video sites such as Tencent video, iQIYI, Youku spend money to buy "VIP members 1080p quality" measured even worse than the above catastrophic 720p quality: "nothing or ignorance? "Online video 1080p quality measurement", however, most users can buy the 4K TV can see the highest quality, not to mention 4K, from the previous era 1080p quality is still quite a distance, Reality is so cruel.
