Operating System – Android TV 10 with Google TV skin gives you direct access to Google Assistant and the Play Store to download apps.\u00a0According to the manufacturer, the Q2 series also comes pre-installed with the Xiaomi TV+ app, which offers viewers more content options, from live TV to blockbusters.\u00a0Are there any drawbacks to Q2 series TVs and should you buy them?\u00a0In the Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 55\u2033 4K QLED review, we will try to answer these questions.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi TV Q2 review<\/h2>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

The 55-inch Mi TV Q2, despite its relatively inexpensive price, has a great design and a very high-quality assembly.\u00a0The highlight is that the body of this TV is made of metal.\u00a0The TV has an impressive screen-to-body ratio thanks to very thin bezels on the top and sides.<\/p>\n

The bottom bezel is much thicker.\u00a0The bottom panel also has a microphone for voice commands in the far field.\u00a0The Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 55\u2033 TV case has a stand in the form of two Y-shaped legs.\u00a0You can also mount the TV on the wall.\u00a0To do this, you will need a 200 x 200 mm VESA wall mount, which is not included in the package.<\/p>\n

Equipment<\/h3>\n

The Xiaomi TV Q2 55 smart TV is equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor, as well as a Mali G52 MC1 GPU.\u00a0The device has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of disk space.\u00a0The downside is the fact that these TVs are not designed for 120Hz gaming.<\/p>\n

Smart TV uses Android 10 operating system. Smart TV supports hands-free voice commands through Google Assistant and Alexa, for which you will need to purchase an Echo smart speaker.<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h3>\n

In general, the image quality of the Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 TV can be called very good.\u00a0However, in order to achieve the maximum from the panel, the content must also be of the appropriate quality.\u00a0In this case, you can really get deep black levels and vivid realistic colors.<\/p>\n

The Xiaomi TV Q2 offers Ultra-HD resolution (3840\u00d72160 pixels) and 92% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space.\u00a0Unfortunately, the refresh rate in all three models does not exceed 60 Hz.\u00a0The model has many color settings so that you can choose the right image quality that matches the taste of the user.<\/p>\n

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

Usually the best picture is obtained in Standard or Vivid mode (depending on the lighting in the room).\u00a0If you don’t like the soap opera effect, you should disable the MEMC option or set it to the minimum position.<\/p>\n

The 4K QLED panel delivers reasonably bright images and deep blacks in a well-lit room.\u00a0Darker scenes in some classic films like Spider-Man or The Lord of the Rings show rich colors and good detail.\u00a0Xiaomi also supports all major viewing formats – HDR10 and HLG.<\/p>\n

Sound quality<\/h3>\n

The sound quality on the Mi TV Q2 55\u2033 is far from ideal.\u00a0And this despite the fact that the device is equipped with speakers with a total power of 30 watts.\u00a0Even despite the support of Dolby Audio, the sound is not entirely expressive.\u00a0Although the reproduced sound is clear, it lacks depth.\u00a0As a result, it does not create a cinematic experience.<\/p>\n

When watching blockbusters with multi-channel sound, you immediately feel the lack of a remote sound bar.\u00a0However, there is one useful feature in audio playback.\u00a0This is the maximum volume setting.\u00a0The TV intelligently controls the sound spikes and keeps the sound uniform.\u00a0In addition, the TV supports\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0and\u00a0DTS:X\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Connections<\/h3>\n

The back panel of the TV is made of plastic.\u00a0The quality of the plastic is decent and seems durable.\u00a0The required connection ports are located on the left in the usual two-way L-shape.\u00a0The TV Q2 55\u2033 has three HDMI ports, one of which offers support for\u00a0eARC\u00a0and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM).<\/p>\n

There are also two USB 2.0 ports, one 100Mbps Ethernet port, one optical port, and one 3.5mm headphone jack.\u00a0There are also antenna inputs, a composite input (AV) and a C + slot for connecting pay channels.\u00a0For wireless transmission, the 55-inch TV is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

If you look at the prices on the QLED Smart TV market, it is easy to see that competitors sell such TVs for much more than Xiaomi.\u00a0Without a doubt, many competing models provide much better overall performance.<\/p>\n

However, you should not forget about the price difference either. So now there is an option to compromise on picture and sound quality. The image reproduced by the Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 TV can easily compete with models in the same price category.<\/p>\n

Sound performance could be a little better.\u00a0However, this problem can be solved with a decent home audio system.\u00a0The operating system Android TV 10 with a huge selection of applications leaves nothing to be desired.<\/p>\n
