Among these brands, Micro Whale undoubtedly stands out.

Why is the D Series 49D Unmatched by Competitors?
At the beginning of our review, we noted that the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D and the recently released 55D both boast high-end configurations. Micro Whale claims that this product's specifications are nearly unmatched in the industry. So, why is the D Series 49D so confident?
Competitive Advantage 1: Design
Firstly, in terms of design, most Internet TVs on the market still use plastic materials to cut costs. However, the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D adopts a full-metal body (including the base and back panel) and achieves a thickness of just 10.9mm, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
Competitive Advantage 2: Hardware
The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is equipped with a 64-bit chip, ensuring smooth performance even for large-scale games without lagging. Additionally, the 2GB RAM + 16GB storage meets the needs of many consumers. This configuration far exceeds that of other Internet TV brands, making it one of the core strengths of the Micro Whale TV.
Competitive Advantage 3: Content
One of the biggest advantages of Internet TVs over traditional TVs lies in their content offerings. The Micro Whale TV integrates content from Tencent Video, iQIYI, and Mango TV, covering movies, TV series, variety shows, and more. Furthermore, the first purchase includes two years of platinum membership! This is something few Internet TVs offer. With two years of platinum membership, users can enjoy the latest video resources, 4K Blu-ray quality videos, and more—all for free!
Competitive Advantage 4: Quality
Currently, 49-inch TVs on the market are still using 1080p video quality. While 4K has gained popularity, it’s rare to find Internet TVs that incorporate both 4K and HDR technology. Imagine the impact of combining 4K picture quality with HDR technology on Internet TVs—Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is here to show you the future of visual experiences.
Through design, hardware, content, and quality, you’ve likely already realized how impressive the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is. But what about the actual user experience? Let’s dive in!
The minimalist and modern design of Internet TVs has always been a hallmark of Micro Whale TVs. The D Series 49D is no exception. Its classic and elegant space gray color matches a variety of home decor styles. Unboxing is simple, and even those who aren’t tech-savvy will find it easy to set up.
The base of the TV is designed for ease of installation, requiring only four screws to secure it. The bridge-style base also adds stability to the TV. The screen itself is a standout feature, utilizing a true 4K hard screen with a resolution four times that of FHD Full HD, providing superior quality compared to other brands.
It’s worth noting that the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D comes standard with a Bluetooth voice remote control. The connection is straightforward, and the remote feels comfortable in hand. Users can use it to search for TV shows via voice commands, which can recognize dialects like Cantonese and Sichuanese. It also allows users to check stock prices, weather forecasts, and set alarms—all with ease.
Design Comments: The design style of the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is consistent with the 2017 German IF, Red Dot Design Award-winning K Series 2 and the 2016 "China Good Design" Gold Award. The simple design style satisfies most users' aesthetic preferences, blending seamlessly with home decor whether placed on a TV stand or mounted on a wall.
Introducing the WUI2.0 System for Smoother Smart TV Experience
Since the upgrade of the Micro Whale TV system, friends familiar with the brand will appreciate the new system. The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D utilizes the upgraded WUI2.0 system, featuring a waterfall-style layout that enhances user experience. The modular design with varying sizes makes the interface more visually appealing and user-friendly.
System Upgrade Comments: The upgraded WUI2.0 system is tailored specifically for smart TVs, offering enhanced fluency and a more comprehensive categorization. All content is integrated into recommendations, selections, categories, and applications. A history and favorites menu are also provided on the TV page, making navigation intuitive and efficient.
Performance Improvements:
The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is equipped with a 64-bit processor and 2GB RAM + 16GB storage, meeting various expansion needs such as playing large-scale entertainment games. This configuration ranks among the best in the Internet TV industry, surpassing many competitors.
System UI Comments: As an upgraded system, the WUI2.0 of the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D provides a significant improvement over other systems. I’ve tried numerous Internet TV and TV box systems, and they often suffer from lag or freezing issues during operation. However, the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D excels in this regard, providing an unparalleled experience.
Leading the Industry with Bluetooth Remote Control:
The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is the only Internet TV in the industry to adopt Bluetooth remote control as a standard. Compared to the industry-standard infrared remote controls, Bluetooth offers greater stability and convenience. Additionally, the inclusion of voice recognition significantly enhances user experience.
Microwhale Bluetooth Voice Remote Control Features:
Users can request TV shows via intelligent voice commands, which can recognize Cantonese, Sichuanese, and other dialects. It also offers life assistant functions, including stock checks, weather updates, and alarm settings. The remote also supports screen casting, allowing users to enjoy pictures, videos, and games on a big screen—a fantastic experience for mobile gamers.
Smart Design Review:
Smart design has become increasingly common across industries, but it remains rare in Internet TVs. The intelligent design of the Microwhale Bluetooth voice remote control has driven the rapid development of the Internet TV industry in the smart field. The Microwhale Bluetooth voice remote control simplifies operations, saving a lot of time and effort, making the experience more convenient and faster.
Two-Year Platinum Membership for Superior Content:
The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D integrates content from Tencent Video, iQIYI, Mango TV, and more, covering movies, TV series, variety shows, and more. In the Internet TV sector, the content of the Micro Whale TV has always been a core strength.
The first purchase of the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D also grants two years of platinum membership. All movie theaters and movies can be watched for free, along with enjoying Blu-ray and 4K image quality. This is currently unavailable on most Internet TVs, giving the Micro Whale a significant edge in terms of content.
In addition to major categories such as movies, TV series, and variety shows, it also includes music, children's content, anime, panoramic VR, and other categories. It also adds sports events and e-sports resources, offering a more comprehensive selection to meet diverse user needs.
Content Comments: Today, content is king. The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D not only leads the Internet TV industry but also outpaces traditional TVs. The benefit of two years of platinum membership highlights the rapid pace of TV updates today, offering clear advantages. For me, the free experience of Blu-ray sources and 4K picture quality is invaluable.
What Happens When 4K and HDR Are Applied to Internet TVs?
In traditional televisions, we’ve experienced HDR technology and 4K picture quality, but such configurations are rare in Internet TVs. The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is equipped with HDR technology and 4K picture quality.
The Micro Whale TV D Series 49D uses the next-generation 4K + HDR display technology with a resolution of up to 3840 × 2160. The new generation of 4K HDR display technology has been hailed as the "black technology" of the television industry. It can restore bright and dark details in sunlight and shadows, providing a true visual experience.
Video tests conducted on the 4K + HDR display technology and fluency of the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D showed that playing a 4K source did not cause any stalls, and the fluency was very high. Using the Bluetooth voice remote control, any segment of the video could be quickly selected for convenience and speed.
Quality Comments: The combination of 4K picture quality and HDR display technology is rarely seen in Internet TVs. The performance and picture quality of the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D are comparable to those of traditional manufacturers. In terms of the user's viewing experience, the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D has truly raised the bar.
Summary Evaluation:
The official slogan of "All-Round High-Defense and Aloof" perfectly encapsulates the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D. Its high-end performance in quality, intelligence, content, speed, design, and service sets it apart. As a full-scale high-end Internet smart TV, many of my friends are curious about its price. Currently, the Micro Whale TV D Series 49D is available for pre-order on the Tmall flagship store, with a daily price of 2698 yuan, but the final transaction price after promotions is 2398 yuan. For the equivalent of a 43-inch TV, getting a 49-inch TV at this price is an excellent deal!
