sound of the Xiaomi Mi TV S65 TV is very good.\u00a0More specifically, it&#8217;s slightly better than most TVs with a\u00a02.0 sound design\u00a0.\u00a0Typically, these TVs use two speakers with a total power of 20 watts or even less.\u00a0The S65 TV has a total power of 25 watts.\u00a0Despite this, the bass is still lacking.<\/p>\n<p>This is because the TV has two multi-range speakers, but no additional subwoofer.\u00a0However, the dialogue is played very well.\u00a0The S65 has support for\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0.\u00a0To use it, you will have to purchase an additional soundbar, which will also support Dolby Atmos.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/151_techweek.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi MI TV S65 review\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Image quality<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of image quality, the affordable 65-inch model is impressive.\u00a0In any case, the TV is definitely worth the money in terms of picture quality.\u00a0TV Xiaomi TV S65 demonstrates impressive performance in both SDR and HDR versions.\u00a0Moreover, the HDR version makes the colors even more vivid.<\/p>\n<p>The TV is equipped with HDR10 and\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0standards , and its peak brightness reaches 500 nits.\u00a0This is almost enough to get the right effect when viewing HDR content.\u00a0On the other hand, with such peak brightness, the S65 cannot keep up with the top models.\u00a0The Mi TV S65 is equipped with an\u00a0IPS\u00a0panel with\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0backlighting .<\/p>\n<p>This indicates a high-quality image with realistic colors.\u00a0The TV also has wide viewing angles.\u00a0On the other hand, the panel has a weak contrast ratio.\u00a0In addition, the local dimming feature is also missing.\u00a0This results in even the deepest blacks appearing dark gray when viewed in a dark room.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to scaling, the Mi TV S65 delivers impressive picture quality in both high-definition HD, UHD and SD channels.\u00a0Also, the Mi S65 TV handles action scenes well thanks to its high frame rate and fast response time.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, game lovers will also enjoy.\u00a0Indeed, in addition to its own refresh rate and low latency, Xiaomi is equipped with\u00a0FreeSync\u00a0Premium technology, which allows you to increase the frequency to 144 Hz.\u00a0All this, plus HDMI 2.1 ports, makes for a great gaming experience for an\u00a0Xbox Series X\u00a0or\u00a0PS5\u00a0game console .<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_163209\"
