The TV market gets more and more diverse,
but Xiaomi reminded yesterday that it has big plans for the premium segment
with the introduction of a 65” 4K TV with an OLED panel, called Mi TV Master. The
120Hz 65” panel supports variable refresh rate too. There is also Automatic Low
Latency Mode that puts latency down to 1ms response time, while other specs of
the screen include 98.5% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1000 nits peak brightness,
178-degree viewing angle, and Dolby Vision.
The body of the TV is also impressive - it
has 4.6mm bezels from all sides, getting the screen-to-body ratio to 98.8%.
There is dedicated gaming mode and Xiaomi offers MEMC motion compensation, as
well as APU neural network for “pixel-level dynamic picture quality
adjustment”. In theory, it should offer over 20 image quality enhancements and
5 major scene presets.
The audio of the Mi TV Master is also
impressive on paper - you get two 12.5W speakers for left and right along with
two 10W "surround speakers" plus a 20W 50 Hz ultra-low frequency
subwoofer. The speakers come with support for Dolby Audio, DTS Audio, and there
are also 4 mics for Xiaomi’s own assistant called Xiao AI.
The whole thing is driven by a Mediatek
MT9650 chipset with a quad-core CPU and Mali-G52 MC1 GPU. Memory is 3/32 GB,
and ports include three HDMI, two USB, S/PDIF, LAN, there is support for Wi-Fi
802.11 a/b/g/n/ac at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and Bluetooth 5.0.
The Xiaomi Mi TV 65” 4K OLED arrived for
pre-order today, and it can be purchased from the company website in China. The
price is CNY 12,999, which is about US$ 1,840. First sale is scheduled for July 8
at 10 AM local time.
