Xiaomi is a brand that has excellent recommendations because most of its products stand out in the quality-price section, obviously televisions are not far behind and we have seen the birth of several interesting models due to the features they integrate.
Today we will talk about the Xiaomi F2 43″ that seems ideal for not so demanding users who are looking for good quality in a television. Of course, it will have certain limitations, but nothing that affects the user experience, so in this review we are going to get to know its capabilities in depth.
Exterior design of the Xiaomi TV F2 43
Aesthetically we are facing an attractive television that offers a pleasant view thanks to details that have been included in its design.
The Xiaomi TV F2 43 seeks to show a different appearance than what we are used to seeing in this category. We will not see an impressive change either, but it does change the view in general. To begin with, we are facing the 43-inch model ideal for small rooms.
Although it does not look bad in larger spaces, in fact, it offers good integration for the style that it has. We recommend purchasing the VESA mount for easy installation and better placement. The idea of this is to better appreciate the front that turns out to be the most attractive.
This is due to the fact that it integrates thin bezels that generate elegance due to the space that will be on the screen. The Xiaomi 43″ F2 has a black chassis that blends well with the different environments available. The total weight is 6.9 kg, so we must be careful when placing it.
The rear part stands out for having a less bulky space compared to other televisions, which improves the aesthetics in general, yes, we must know that the construction materials are certainly weak , so we must be careful when moving the television .
Connectivity
We find good connectivity that begins with the inclusion of four HDMI 2.0 inputs that we can use to transmit the signal from compatible devices, receiving correct performance. Quality is further enhanced by ALLM and eARC .
Another attraction is that it includes two USB 2.0 ports whose main functions include the ability to play photos, videos and even music from compatible drives such as memories or external drives. Likewise, we highlight that it allows us to record content.
Other useful physical connections include an Ethernet port, a headphone jack, a satellite input, and an antenna (RF). We found compatibility with DVB-T2/C/S2 tuners that allow you to track terrestrial, satellite and cable channels if available.
Its wireless section is simple, but enough for a good experience thanks to the fact that it includes Wi-Fi Direct that allows us to surf the internet without having to use the network cable, which helps us to place the television wherever we want. It also works with Bluetooth .
Image quality and functions in general of the Xiaomi F2 43″
The Xiaomi F2 43″ has a 4K resolution that delivers four times more power than Full HD, therefore, the quality improves considerably and with this definition a more complete display is sought. Thanks to the offered optimization we will see good images.
However, we must bear in mind that it includes an LED backlight that is possibly the negative point in this section, since we have a regular quality due to the lack of local dimming, generating certain quality losses in very dark or bright environments.
This is also partly due to the lack of control that exists in the lighting, therefore, the placement can improve this detail a bit. It includes Wide Color Gamut technology that works to improve the color spectrum so that they are seen in a more realistic, intense and vivid way.
It also has compatibility with HDR10 and HLG , formats that work more specifically with contrast and brightness, yes, to notice the improvement, the content must be compatible with these technologies. The reality is that it does not have many functions, so the image will be regular.
As for the fluidity of the movements, they will be acceptable, since we have a maximum frequency of 60 Hz , in addition, it includes MEMC technology to enjoy greater precision.
Sound
This television integrates two speakers that offer 24W of maximum power, which draws our attention considering that most mid-range models offer 20W. It is not an incredible improvement, but it does help improve the experience, especially for the current demand.
In addition, it works with DTS HD , DTS Virtual: X and Dolby Audio , three technologies that seek to deliver an immersive and precise experience. We find pleasant audio, although if we want to continue improving the experience, it is best to acquire an external sound system.
Software analysis / Smart TV and more features of the Xiaomi 43″ F2
It works with Fire TV that stands out for certain functions that it integrates, being a system more focused on entertainment through applications
We have a variation with respect to other models that we have already analyzed, which work with Android TV. In this case, the Xiaomi TV F2 43 includes Fire TV (Fire OS 7) that presents an interesting catalog of applications, although there will be some options that will not be available.
It presents compatibility with Alexa, a function that allows us to control certain functions of the television with our voice. Another attraction is that it also works with Apple AirPlay which is used to transmit photos, music and even videos from an iPhone, iPad or Mac very easily.
The Xiaomi 43″ F2 has a 2GB RAM that works quite well when it comes to accessing the applications that we have installed. For storage include 16GB. Now it has a MediaTek MT9020 GPU that is accompanied by an ARM Cortex-A55 CPU.
