Chapter 213 Redefining Television



"We discussed it for a while and found that the biggest advantage of the iPad over smartphones is watching videos."

Therefore, we decided to retain the iPad's biggest advantage and greatest strength: its large screen.

Finally, the Xiaomi TV we have today came about.

Please look at the big screen.

Behind Lin Chen, a promotional image for Xiaomi TV appeared.

"Wow!!!"

The audience erupted in gasps of amazement.

The front of the Xiaomi TV has no buttons other than a huge screen.

Lin Chen explained, "As you can see, the front of our Xiaomi TV is entirely composed of screen. We used metal for the bezel and made it extremely narrow, with the narrowest part being only 8.4 millimeters. The entire body also adopts an ultra-thin design, with the thickest part being only 48 millimeters."

"Oh my god!!"

The audience erupted in applause once again; it was simply a work of art.

The TVs in my home nowadays still have thick bezels, some as thick as 10 centimeters, which is incomparable to Xiaomi TVs.

Lin Chen was satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued his introduction.

"Now that we've covered the hardware, let's move on to the system."

You might wonder, what kind of system does a television have? Isn't a television just something you connect to cable TV and watch?

Starting today, Xiaomi will redefine the television.

Could our staff please bring up a Xiaomi TV?

Two Xiaomi employees carried a Xiaomi TV onto the stage. The Xiaomi TV is actually very light, but because the screen is so big, it's more stable for two people to carry it on stage together.

After pointing the camera at the Xiaomi TV, Lin Chen took out a very small remote control.

"Look, everyone, this is the remote control for our Xiaomi TV. Isn't it different from traditional remote controls? It doesn't have as many buttons."

Why is that? I'll keep you in suspense for a moment and explain later.

Traditional remote controls are infrared. I'm sure everyone has experienced this: sometimes you hold the remote and point it at the TV and press the buttons for ages before it responds. If you hold the remote for too long, it might not respond at all after pressing the buttons for ages. Isn't that very frustrating?

Our remote control is Bluetooth, so we don't need to point it at the TV. We can press it from any angle, and the TV will respond.

Even sometimes we can just lie on the sofa and press our fingers against the ceiling.

As he spoke, Lin Chen picked up the remote control and pressed a button in the exact opposite direction from the Xiaomi TV.

Suddenly, a Xiaomi logo appeared in the middle of the black screen of the Xiaomi TV, and then the main interface appeared.

"As you can see, our Xiaomi TV is now powered on."

Unlike traditional TVs where you start with cable channels, the Xiaomi TV is more like a video-on-demand interface when you turn it on.

Our research found that young people today prefer watching TV series and movies on computers to watching traditional television.

However, computer screens are much smaller than television screens, and sitting too close to them can actually be more harmful to the eyes than watching television.

Why can't we watch TV dramas from video websites on TV?

This is the system we redesigned specifically for Xiaomi TVs.

MIUI TV is developed based on the Android system.

Unlike the MIUI system on Xiaomi phones, MIUI TV focuses more on video playback, ensuring smooth video playback to the greatest extent possible.

We've brought video website content to Xiaomi TVs, so everyone can watch their favorite TV series and movies on demand right on their TVs, and even watch them with family and friends. Doesn't that sound pretty great?

Watching it on a 23-inch computer monitor and watching it on a 55-inch TV will be completely different experiences.

Furthermore, Xiaomi TVs are equipped with a wide range of interfaces.

It has an AV interface for connecting to traditional cable TV, an HDMI interface for connecting to a computer host, and even a USB interface for inserting a USB flash drive.

This makes our Xiaomi TV more than just a TV; it can also be a computer monitor, a video player, and even a game console monitor.

At this point, the Panda TV live stream chat was going crazy.

"Holy crap, this Xiaomi TV is amazing! Not only is the design super cool, but the functions are also so powerful."

"In the past, TV shows had commercials inserted into the dramas. Now, TV shows have dramas inserted into the commercials. I stopped watching cable TV a long time ago."

"Yeah, I don't watch it anymore. I watch dramas online. There are no ads, and it's more enjoyable to watch. It's just that I can't watch it lying on the sofa."

"I really want to buy this Xiaomi TV, but I don't know how much it costs?"

"With this screen and these specs, it must cost at least 5,000."

“5,000 isn’t enough. Our plasma TV, which is only 45 inches, costs more than 10,000.”

"Oh, this, more than ten thousand is out of the question, I can't afford it."

At this moment, Lin Chen seemed to know what the netizens in the live chat were thinking, and spoke up.

"I bet everyone is already very tempted by now and wants to bring this Xiaomi TV home, but is afraid it will be too expensive."

Now, let's announce the price that everyone is most concerned about.

Please look at the big screen.

As everyone's attention was focused on the large screen behind Lin Chen, Lin Chen pressed the demonstration pen in his hand.

Suddenly, the photo that Lei Jun had previously taken and used as his Weibo profile picture appeared on the screen.

Everyone was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

Lei Jun must be wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. Damn it, it seems there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

Lin Gou is a real dog!

Lin Chen also laughed and said, "Ahem, everyone, don't laugh, hahaha, don't laugh. This is our CEO Lei's Weibo profile picture. Please give him some face and follow our CEO Lei's Weibo. He will often share some of Xiaomi's innovative designs with everyone."

This was a secret discussion between the publicity director and Lin Chen; they didn't tell Lei Jun that this segment would be included.

It looks pretty good, right, Jun-ge?

Lei Jun: Listen to me, thank you. Because of you, all four seasons are warm.

After his playful antics, Lin Chen quickly returned to the main topic.

Pressing the presentation pen again, a huge number appeared on the screen.

2999!

"This is the price of our Xiaomi TV, 2999!"

So, was that unexpected?

When everyone at the scene and in the live broadcast room saw this price, they all thought they were seeing things.

What? 2999? Really?

Such a large screen, such great features, and you're only selling it for this price?

Seriously, Lin Gou, I will never curse you again.
