Now BOE hopes to create a new audio-visual equipment product, and this BOE Alta is a product aimed at high-end users.



Alta is a boutique audiovisual device created by BOE


BOE Alta positioned the consumer group as a "perfectionist." These consumers have their own unique attitude toward life and focus on the quality of life. They have a very high demand for TV design, texture, screen size, and audiovisual effects. Therefore, BOE designers and engineers have spent a lot of time in these areas. Out products that meet these high-end consumer ideals.



The design concept of BOE Alta is "Minimalist"


After the wave of bombardment by major TV manufacturers, feature overlays, and rapid product iterations, consumers pursuing perfectionism began to return to the nature of television and pursued minimalist products and lifestyles. BOE believes that an ideal high-end television should not only have conventional functions, but also need to convey aesthetic consciousness and humanistic values, and make it a part of people's lives. Let's take a closer look at how this 55-inch Alta attracts the "perfectionist" gaze.

Minimalist appearance: simple lines enhance the sense of art

The part that best reflects the essence of the BOE Alta design is in its overall appearance and details. Let's first take a look at its fuselage section. In the above we have already mentioned that "Minimalistness" is the concept of BOE Alta as a whole. This concept is also full of flow in every detail of this product. The body shape fully shows this.



The frontal appearance of BOE Alta


At the first sight of BOE Alta, I believe everyone's eyes will inevitably stay on their bodies for a longer period of time, because it is very different from the TVs we usually see, and completely get rid of most TVs. The image of the dragging a rigid screen on the shelf. Its black body with the bottom silver-gray sound, so that black and white two kinds of contrasting colors for a reasonable match. A 55-inch screen that hits the ground makes it appear more integrated.



BOE Alta integration is very strong on the back


The back of the BOE Alta's body also uses an integrated design to avoid undulations, the overall feeling is very strong, there is no LOGO on the front, only on the back of the low-key display BOE's brand LOGO. In addition, it also supports wall hanging, but it requires the use of a special wall mount.



BOE Alta maintains an elevation of 7° on the side of the fuselage


The side of the BOE Alta uses the design language of "one vertical and one horizontal". The intersection structure of the two elements meets the two characteristics of solid support and enhanced overall beauty. In addition, it forms a 7° elevation angle with the desktop, giving the user an excellent viewing angle. At the same time, the integrated design of the base and sound is a very innovative attempt.



BOE Alta power switch at the bottom right of the fuselage, the shape is not designed casually


The power button is located at the bottom right of the BOE Alta. The overall shape uses the “O” in the middle of the BOE brand logo to symbolize the rising sun.

Minimalist details: demanding processes and materials

As an audio-visual product for the "perfectionist", BOE Alta will naturally not relax in the details of the fuselage process and materials, and it is very careful in the processing of every detail except for the glass on the screen and the surface. BOE Alta adheres to the principle of “Real Material”, rejects plastics, and uses aluminum materials, which not only increases the overall texture, but also makes it more durable.

The unique cable trunking design also achieves the best combination of practicality and artistry.

Minimalist connection: a single line can be easily connected

In the past, if you wanted to connect multimedia devices on your TV, such as PS4 game consoles, high-definition players, etc., you would need to turn the TV over and connect it to the back of the TV, which is very inconvenient. This product provides a dedicated Alta Cube connection box to free all interfaces from the TV and easily connect external devices with only one cable.

If future interfaces, core chips and other components need to be upgraded, everyone will only Need to replace the Cube connection box on it, do not need to replace the entire TV, this can greatly save the upgrade cost.

Minimal operation: Simplified human-computer interaction interface

Of course, the minimalist design concept of BOE Alta is not just on the surface of the body. The system and operation interface are also the same, and it is not equipped with a smart operating system. It uses external HD players, game consoles, various set-top boxes and other devices to input video. signal. Because for these audiophiles, they are more accustomed to watching Blu-ray discs and downloading high-definition video sources to play videos locally instead of poor quality online video.

This will make it more user-friendly and simple. Easy to use.

Not simple picture quality: high color gamut high definition

For these high-end audiophiles, the picture quality of TV is their most important link. Here we will experience the actual performance of BOE Alta. Before the test, we let the TV work normally for one hour and restore to the default settings. The entire test was conducted in a darkened dark room. Since the effect of using a digital camera is different from the actual performance of the TV, the following pictures are for reference only.

BOE Alta uses a 55-inch 4K ultra-high-definition LCD panel independently developed by BOE and uses a fully-fitted glass process. The surface of the screen is applied with multi-layer anti-glare technology, which greatly increases the light transmittance of the screen, that is, at the same power consumption. The next step is to achieve higher brightness. This process has recently become popular in mobile phones, but it has been adopted for the first time in large-screen TVs. This reflects BOE's strong R&D capabilities in the upstream LCD panels. In the actual experience, we can clearly feel that with the help of 4K ultra-high-definition technology, every detail of the picture becomes clearer.

It is worth mentioning that the color saturation of the BOE Alta screen is also significantly better than that of ordinary TVs on the market. Its color will be more vivid, but the rendering will be more modest, and there will be no situation that is too exaggerated and somewhat “false”. There is a good balance between eyeballing and authenticity.

Not simple sounds: excellent audio-visual enjoyment

Dynamic picture effects are very important for TVs, so let's use BOE Alta to play 4K ultra high-definition movies to see how it looks in real-time.

It is very smooth when playing a movie, and there is no chance of a Caton phenomenon at all, and the video transition is also smooth, with almost no tailing and some pixel stalls. The same as the above test, its high color saturation makes the picture look more vivid, but it is also soft, and the screen is very rich in sense of hierarchy.

In terms of audio, the BOE Alta is equipped with a 2.0-channel Harman speaker unit with a maximum output power of 2×10W, which is more crisp than the normal TV in terms of treble.

Evaluation Summary: Making Domestic Brand Artwork

This time, BOE will "reduce complexity and simplicity" and "perfectionism" [What is the consideration of writing "self release" and "aesthetic sense"? ] Two major ideas were given to BOE Alta. When many TVs began to focus on low prices and scrambled for new features and concepts, they emphasized TV's aesthetic value more. They focused on TV as the most basic, but they were the most valued for high-end consumers. Features: Appearance aesthetic design, product texture and audio and video performance, will be BOE Alta fight domestic brands "artwork."



BOE Alta has many innovative designs, but they all follow the minimalist concept


At the same time, the iF Design Gold Award and the Red Dot Award have fully demonstrated the recognition of the appearance of BOE Alta by authorities. Even the connection of the body parts, the handling of the remote control, and even the accessories box and video cable The fine parts such as materials, which are not noticed by the average user, are also very delicately processed. The “Minimalist” concept is applied throughout the entire body, the Cube connection box, the remote control, and the operation interface, which fully reflects the consumption of BOE. The sincerity of the person.
