The ES Pro 55 TV comes with a stand, four screws for attaching this stand, a remote control with three AAA batteries, a power cable, an outlet adapter, a quick start guide, and a warranty card.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/77_techweek.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Equipment<\/h3>\n<p>Xiaomi is known for its good hardware, which includes many smart and practical features in a series of not too expensive models.\u00a0ES Pro also has more devices in its portfolio than the competition.\u00a0Among other things, the TV is equipped with a tuner.<\/p>\n<p>With an average switching time of 1 &#8211; 2 seconds, we can say that the tuner works quite quickly.\u00a0If the choice of TV programs at some point in time does not offer anything suitable, then your favorite content is sure to be found among the many streaming services.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-58.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-58.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-58-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-58-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pasted-58-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The most important streaming portals such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix or Disney+ are already pre-installed at the factory. Initially, these TVs have a MIUI shell. They arrive with the Android TV operating system, which has always been famous for its huge selection of applications.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, many other streaming services and applications are available in the App Store and can be downloaded at will at any time.\u00a0It is also worth mentioning that the Mi TV ES Pro 55 TV has a built-in player that allows you to play third-party files from a removable drive connected to the USB connector.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound quality<\/h3>\n<p>The sound on the TV ES Pro 55 ES is nothing special.\u00a0This is the sound quality of most televisions that do not have separate speakers that reproduce low frequencies.\u00a0However, the ES Pro is slightly superior to such TVs in terms of sound quality.\u00a0Its sound system has a total power of 25 watts.<\/p>\n<p>Built-in speakers are enough to watch TV programs.\u00a0However, the sound in films does not have the proper volume.\u00a0First of all, there is a lack of deep bass.\u00a0It is worth noting that the TV is capable of supporting eight-channel sound.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the device is equipped with Dolby Atmos technology.\u00a0Therefore, who is already accustomed to surround sound, there is a great opportunity to realize it.\u00a0To do this, you will have to purchase a home theater system or get a soundbar that is capable of supporting\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Image quality<\/h3>\n<p>The most important criterion for a TV, of course, is the image quality.\u00a0Gamers and football fans especially appreciate the fast display with smooth moving images.\u00a0With a native refresh rate of 120Hz, the 55\u2033 ES Pro achieves this goal perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>It can display fast motion sequences smoothly and clearly without inter-frame calculations.\u00a0This also works great on Xbox Series X\u00a0and Sony\u00a0PlayStation5\u00a0game consoles\u00a0.\u00a0Here, the full potential is revealed with a resolution of 4K at 120 frames per second.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the high image refresh rate, the TV is also very colorful thanks to the QLED technology.\u00a0Microscopically small semiconductor crystals, so-called quantum dots, have a color enhancing effect and provide a wider color spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>The Xiaomi ES Pro TV can also reproduce an expanded color space with over 1 billion colors and shades.\u00a0Faces acquire a natural skin tone and no longer look excessively reddish.\u00a0Landscapes and water bodies also look more realistic.\u00a0The Mi ES Pro 55 TV is equipped with a\u00a0direct\u00a0backlit\u00a0VA\u00a0panel .<\/p>\n<p>Native contrast has a ratio of 7000 to 1. This suggests that the TV is ideal for viewing in a dark room.\u00a0However, it also shows well in a bright room, due to a considerable margin of brightness.\u00a0The peak brightness of the TV is 700 nits.\u00a0This value allows you to achieve the desired effect when viewing HDR content.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing the HDR conversation, the ES Pro TV 55 is equipped with a full set of HDR standards.\u00a0This bundle also includes such dynamic standards as\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0and HDR10+.\u00a0Overall, the image quality can compete with any model in the same price range.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12176\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/78_techweek.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>As for the interfaces, this set is a little behind the set that the flagship models have.\u00a0The Mi ES Pro 55 TV has only one full HDMI 2.1 port, which includes\u00a0eARC\u00a0, ALLM and VRR functions.\u00a0So if you have one of today&#8217;s high-end gaming consoles (Sony PlayStation5, Xbox Series X|S), then there&#8217;s the ability to play in full 4K resolution at 120fps.<\/p>\n<p>In Game Mode, the input lag of the TV is automatically reduced to 4 milliseconds.\u00a0In addition, the TV has support for\u00a0AMD FreeSync\u00a0Premium.\u00a0All this allows you to comfortably play any computer games.\u00a0There are also a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports and a pair of USB 2.0 ports on board.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the TV is equipped with two antenna inputs, an RJ45 port for linear Internet connection, an AV input for connecting analog devices and an optical digital audio output.\u00a0Wireless connections are implemented using technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and IrDA.<\/p>\n<h3>The difference between Xiaomi Mi TV ES Pro 86 and ES Pro 55, 65, 75<\/h3>\n<p>The characteristics of the TV ES Pro line differ only in the size of the screen and, accordingly, the body.\u00a0The exception is the Xiaomi Mi TV ES Pro 86\u2033 model, which has slightly improved specifications.\u00a0By and large, there are three differences, of which the most important is the margin of peak brightness.\u00a0In all models, this parameter does not exceed 700 nits.<\/p>\n<p>In the ES Pro 86\u2033 model, peak brightness reaches 1000 nits.\u00a0Secondly, the model with a diagonal of 86 inches has a memory of 4 \/ 64 GB.\u00a0The remaining TVs of the Mi ES Pro series are content with only 3 \/ 32 GB of memory.\u00a0The third difference relates to the total power of the speakers.\u00a0In all models, this figure is 25 watts.\u00a0In ES Pro 86, the total power has been increased to 30 watts.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>It should be added that among the affordable QLED TVs, the Xiaomi ES Pro Pro stands out, first of all, for its affordable price. The Xiaomi Mi TV ES Pro 55 has a 120Hz panel and impresses with crisp images, contrasting colors and complete packaging.<\/p>\n<p>While the sound quality is average, the issue is quickly resolved with an optional soundbar.\u00a0It should also be noted that the device has a full set of HDR standards.\u00a0In this view mode, the image achieves the desired effect.\u00a0The main advantage of this model is a very good value for money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xiaomi Mi TV ES Pro is a 4K TV with specifications close to the top level.\u00a0The device is equipped with a 120Hz direct backlit screen, HDMI 2.1 port, Android TV operating system with voice control and a wide range of applications, as well as a TV tuner with all kinds of reception.
