No sooner said than done.\u00a0Meet the new line of flagship TVs Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro.\u00a0These are TVs with QLED panel and MEMC technology at an affordable price.\u00a0In the proposed review of Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro 55 4K HDR as a representative of the series, we will get acquainted with the technical equipment of the new product.\u00a0The novelty, which is destined to become the flagship of the Xiaomi TV series.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro review<\/h2>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

At the level of aesthetics, we see a model in front of us, the appearance of which immediately attracts attention.\u00a0This Smart TV Mi 5 Pro has a simple and elegant design that is so typical of the products presented by Xiaomi on the market.\u00a0It has really minimalistic aluminum frames that will look good in any room.<\/p>\n

The bezels are only 1.8 mm thick.\u00a0Thanks to this, the screen occupies 97 percent of the front panel, which is very impressive.\u00a0If this is not enough to amaze the imagination, we point out that the thickness of the TV itself is about 6 mm.\u00a0All this is due to the design that does not use screws for assembly.<\/p>\n

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

Now about other aspects of the design of the smart TV Mi TV 5 Pro.\u00a0This is, firstly, the power switch, which is located at the bottom in the center of the lower edge of the screen.\u00a0Secondly, the power cord is on the left side of the TV and the communication area is on the right side.<\/p>\n

Quantum Dot Panel<\/h3>\n

The display of the Mi TV 5 PRO series is of the\u00a0QLED\u00a0(quantum dots) type.\u00a0In a nutshell, this means that in addition to the higher overall image quality, it also has an increased lifespan.\u00a0Like cutting-edge OLED displays, QLED is capable of reproducing deep, lifelike blacks.\u00a0The Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro has 4K resolution and is HDR10 + certified.\u00a0In addition, it has 108% NTSC color gamut and MEMC (motion estimation \/ motion compensation) interpolation.<\/p>\n

That being said, QLED is the main advantage of the Mi TV 5 Pro series.\u00a0So what is a quantum dot TV?\u00a0What is special about it?\u00a0In fact, it differs from traditional LCD TVs mainly in the use of a different backlight source.\u00a0The quantum dot panel of this Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro has a wide color gamut.\u00a0Due to this, its bright picture appears in rich and colorful colors.<\/p>\n

Advanced processor and image quality<\/h3>\n

As for the processor inside the new Xiaomi smart TV, it is equipped with an improved Amlogic T972 chip (4 ARM Cortex-A55 cores).\u00a0This chip uses the most advanced 12nm process technology, clocked at up to 1.9GHz and 63% faster performance over the previous generation.\u00a0The RAM of the Mi TV 5 Pro has a capacity of 4 GB, the built-in memory is 64 GB.<\/p>\n

Amlogic T972 chip supports 8K 10-bit HDR YUV 4: 2: 0 video decoding with new AVE-10 video processor and 128-bit internal processing bus.\u00a0The color level of each RGB channel has been increased from 256 by 8-bit to 1024 by 10-bit, allowing for more accurate and accurate display of image brightness and color.<\/p>\n

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

In addition, the Xiaomi TV 5 Pro is also compatible with MEMC (Motion Estimate and Motion Compensation) technology.\u00a0Its algorithm evaluates the trajectory of any object in a simple, reliable and fast way.\u00a0It then inserts new motion compensation frames into the original image sequence.\u00a0As a result, we get a clear, smooth and jerky-free display of any movement on the screen.<\/p>\n

Smart TV and AIoT system<\/h3>\n

Xiaomi has made remarkable advances in the AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) system.\u00a0With the new smart TV Mi Pro 5, thanks to this technology, users will be able to see and control all devices owned by the company throughout the house.\u00a0All you need to do is press and hold the start button on the TV remote control to launch the AIoT system interface.<\/p>\n

Thus, with the help of Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro, it will be possible to control refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, kettles and even routers.\u00a0In short, we can say that this device from the Chinese company is not only a TV, but also a control center for household appliances.<\/p>\n

The TV runs on Android 9.0 operating system.\u00a0The PatchWall recommendation interface is implemented on its basis.\u00a0This is a modern system of associative selection of viewed programs and displaying banners of recommendations for the next viewing.\u00a0It is convenient to find applications in Aptoid TV – an approximate analogue of the Play Market application store.<\/p>\n

Using the built-in microphone in the remote control, you can both search for content (Google Assistant) and control your TV.\u00a0The built-in Chromecast media player allows you to stream media files from mobile smart devices to the big screen.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Mi TV 5 Pro, unlike the same Mi TV\u00a04X Pro,\u00a0has an audio system consisting of two 8W speakers.\u00a0Both emitters are directed downward.\u00a0Dolby Audio (not to be confused with Dolby Atmos) and DTS-HD with dual decoding are supported.\u00a0As with all such thin TVs, the sound lacks low frequency reinforcement.<\/p>\n

This is especially noticeable in movies with a dynamic plot, which is full of sound effects.\u00a0Therefore, we can recommend paying attention to the soundbar (soundbar).\u00a0Or on TVs of the Xiaomi Mi TV Art series, complete with a soundbar from the factory.<\/p>\n

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

Connections<\/h3>\n

The Xiaomi TV 5 Pro interface has a sufficient number of multimedia ports.\u00a0These are three HDMI connectors (one with ARC audio return channel support) and two USB.\u00a0There is a LAN port for connecting to the Internet and a composite video input (tulips).\u00a0Digital audio is output from the SPDIF jack.\u00a0Antenna socket – for connecting a terrestrial antenna.<\/p>\n

Note that there is no DVB-T2 tuner on board that allows you to receive TV channels. Therefore, you either have to use a set-top box or watch Internet TV. At least the same Wink (RT-TV). For this, in addition to a wired connection, it is possible to connect to the network via dual-band Wi-Fi. Bluetooth connection is also available.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

The Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro has excellent technical characteristics as well as a nice slim design worthy of picture quality. And in the age of the Internet, it has another big advantage – AIoT.\u00a0With Xiaomi TV, you will find that your home can become very smart.<\/p>\n

In summary, as the new flagship product of Xiaomi TV, the Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro has excellent performance and an affordable price tag.\u00a0This is a good interpretation of the concept of “promoting high-end products” and is worth recommending to users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
