Let\u2019s dive into whether it lives up to the promise.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_467614\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-467614\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-467614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/xiaomi-tv-max-100.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi TV Max 100\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1626\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-467614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Xiaomi TV Max 100<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Design &amp; Build<\/h2>\n<p>Forget the stereotype that Xiaomi only makes cheap plastic gear. The TV Max 100 looks and feels premium. It has a metal frame just 3mm thick, with a body depth of just under 4 inches\u2014slim enough for its size. At 132 pounds (60 kg), it\u2019s heavy but manageable with two people.<\/p>\n<p>It comes with sturdy metal legs, though you can wall-mount it using a VESA 700\u00d7400 bracket\u2014just make sure your wall can handle the weight. In the box, you\u2019ll find the stand, screws, power cable, remote, and manuals.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart Features &amp; OS<\/h2>\n<p>The TV runs on Google TV (Android-based), giving you access to all the major streaming apps\u2014Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, and more\u2014straight out of the box. Extra apps can be installed from the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n<p>Performance is snappy, menus respond quickly, and there\u2019s built-in voice control through a microphone in the chassis for hands-free operation. A triple TV tuner supports cable, satellite, and antenna, plus USB recording for DVR-style program storage.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_467615\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-467615\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-467615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/xiaomi-tv-max-100-1.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi TV Max 100\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1571\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-467615\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Xiaomi TV Max 100<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Picture Quality<\/h2>\n<p>The 100-inch 4K QLED VA panel is the star of the show.
