As we know, there are a couple of brands that are trying to compete with the giant manufacturers of modern 4K TVs – OnePlus TV and Xiaomi Mi TV.\u00a0And if OnePlus TV settled on a pair of OnePlus TV 55 Q1 and OnePlus TV 55 Q1 Pro models, then Xiaomi has a wider range.<\/p>\n

Both manufacturers are from China, and they try to be on a par with Philips, Samsung or LG.\u00a0And although we find various flaws in their TVs, these manufacturers cannot be discounted.\u00a0In 2021, Xiaomi is releasing a QLED model, which we will look at in the Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 75 review.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 review<\/h2>\n

It should be noted right away that the Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 TV is designed for a lower price segment, unlike the OnePlus Q1 TV, although the equipment of these models is approximately identical. From the history of Xiaomi, you can recall that the release of the first TV models is dated 2013. And only just a few years ago Xiaomi entered the international market.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

Immediately, we note that Xiaomi releases the Mi TV Q1 series with only one 75-inch diagonal.\u00a0The Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 75 comes with interesting features and an affordable price for this size.\u00a0The Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 75 received an excellent look with very thin bezels around the screen.\u00a0The decoration is made with aluminum components in a silver color.\u00a0The bottom panel is slightly wider than the main bezel, there is a logo in the center under the screen.<\/p>\n

\"Xiaomi<\/a><\/p>\n

The TV stand, located in the center of the case, is quite wide.\u00a0It is made of brushed aluminum and perfectly complements the front design.\u00a0For a 75-inch 4K TV, choosing the shape of such a stand is a must.\u00a0The model is stable when installed on a horizontal surface.<\/p>\n

The back of the TV Mi TV Q1 75 is made in black.\u00a0Case material – embossed plastic.\u00a0The lower rear is slightly wider.\u00a0It contains various entrances.\u00a0The interface part is located at the bottom left of the Mi TV Q1 case.\u00a0The power cord plugs into the right.\u00a0The VESA wall mount has a size of 400 x 300 mm.<\/p>\n

The supplied remote control is very similar to the remotes that come with other models of the brand, such as the\u00a0Mi TV Lux\u00a0.\u00a0The remote is equipped with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video app keys, a button in the center to activate the Google Assistant, and more.<\/p>\n

Picture<\/h3>\n

As we mentioned earlier, the Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 75 model in question has appeared with some pretty interesting features.\u00a0This is a more advanced model than the options from this Chinese brand previously reviewed on our UltraHD.su resource.<\/p>\n

The new version of Mi TV Q1 2021 is equipped with QLED technology, which uses quantum dots to improve color reproduction.\u00a0As a result, the Mi TV Q1 model covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum.\u00a0The applied backlight is of the Full Array type, which is capable of providing a much better level of contrast than conventional LED Edge backlighting.<\/p>\n

The matrix is \u200b\u200billuminated by 384 LEDs and has 192 adjustment zones.\u00a0As a result, more precise control of image brightness is achieved.\u00a0The contrast ratio in the applied VA matrix can reach 10,000: 1 with a maximum peak brightness of 1000 nits.\u00a0In normal mode, the average brightness is about 500 nits.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, the manufacturer has endowed its brainchild with various HDR formats.\u00a0Here we see support for Dolby Vision, HDR 10+, HDR 10 and HLG – a complete set, which is the main competing factor for this model.\u00a0But the 75-inch Mi TV Q1 model has 10-bit color depth (8-bit + FRC).<\/p>\n

\"Xiaomi<\/a><\/p>\n

VRR and ALLM<\/h3>\n

For lovers of game consoles, which has recently become more relevant, we can note the presence of the HDMI 2.1 interface in the reviewed model Mi TV Q1 75. Thanks to this, you can play content at 120 Hz in 4K resolution.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no support for variable refresh rate (VRR), although the specifications claim automatic latency mode (ALLM).\u00a0Despite this, we can say that Xiaomi has launched an interesting model in terms of price \/ quality and has Quantum Dot technology with a native matrix refresh rate of 120 Hz and an HDMI 2.1 port.<\/p>\n

Smart TV<\/h3>\n

As for the operating system, the 75-inch model Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 QLED is built on Android TV version 10. The TV runs on a Mediatek MT9611 quad-core processor in conjunction with a Mali G52 MP2 or ARM Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.\u00a0There are only 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB as the main memory.\u00a0This is probably not enough at the moment.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that the Android TV system has long been “rolled back” on TVs from other manufacturers, the version from Xiaomi differs in some moments.\u00a0I am having trouble connecting an external wireless keyboard.\u00a0In particular, with the methods of switching the national keyboard layout – dancing with a tambourine often does not help.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

The TV uses\u00a0a\u00a02.4 CH\u00a0sound scheme\u00a0.\u00a0The Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 QLED model is equipped with a dual channel pair of 15 W each and supports Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD Master Audio formats.\u00a0Each channel has a pair of full-range speakers and a tweeter.\u00a0The location of the emitters is downward.\u00a0For a normal Atmos implementation, it is recommended to mount the model on a horizontal surface.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Connections<\/h3>\n

In addition to the mentioned HDMI 2.1 ALLM interface, the Mi TV Q1 75 QLED TV has a pair of HDMI 2.0 (ARC; CEC) and a pair of USB 2.0 – these are the main connections.\u00a0Internet or local area network is provided via Ethernet RJ45 port or Wi-Fi.\u00a0Onboard there is a satellite dish input, S \/ PDIF interface and AV composite input.\u00a0The antenna tuner is capable of receiving DVB-T2 signals.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Based on past Xiaomi reviews, the model in question has problems with image processing. Moreover, you will not find such artifacts on the screen from other brands.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 has built-in ChromeCast and MiraCast support for the ease of use of the huge screen and your smartphone or tablet. Sound system output power of 30 watts is two tweeters and four woofers.\u00a0It is said “loudly” about woofers, but the sound is sufficient for most content.<\/p>\n

Recently, many smart TVs have been using quad-core processors to handle their custom upscaling algorithms that convert HD content to 4K.\u00a0Of course, this is not unique to the Xiaomi Q1 model in question, but the upscaling works without notice.<\/p>\n

And here again one should focus on the fact that the price for such products is often much higher, especially for the 75th diagonal. So if you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive 75-inch 4K TV, this might be a good option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
