Xiaomi today announced the Xiaomi OLED Vision 55 TV for the Indian market. This is the company's first OLED television to be launched in India. The OLED Vision 55 features a 55-inch, 3840x2160 OLED panel. We were unable to get information on the panel manufacturer from Xiaomi but it's likely the same LG WRGB panel that most companies use. It's a native 10-bit panel with a fixed 60Hz refresh rate and 98.5% DCI-P3 coverage.
The TV supports Dolby Vision IQ, which
automatically adjust display brightness to match ambient lighting, along with
HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. It also features IMAX Enhanced certification, which
checks for various audio and video quality aspects for consistency with IMAX
Enhanced content. The audio features an 8-driver 30W speaker system with
support for Dolby Atmos and DTS X surround sound standards.
For connectivity you get 3x HDMI 2.1*
ports, one of which supports eARC, 2x USB ports, Ethernet, composite in,
optical out, and headphone jack. There's also dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac and
Bluetooth 5.0 support. Xiaomi puts a giant asterisk on the HDMI 2.1 part
because these aren't HDMI 2.1 ports but rather HDMI 2.0. However, since the
HDMI Licensing Administrator has incredibly lax and downright foolish
requirements for something to be considered HDMI 2.1, you can very well add a
couple of HDMI 2.1 features to HDMI 2.0 and officially label it HDMI 2.1.
To that end, the television does support
ALLM or auto low latency mode, which will automatically put the television into
a low latency game mode when it detects a signal from a console. Having this
feature alone is often enough to label an HDMI 2.0 device as HDMI 2.1. If
you're a gamer, however, you should know that there is no variable refresh rate
support and the panel is only 60Hz. The TV is powered by a MediaTek 9617 SoC
with a 4x Cortex-A73 CPU cores and Mali G52 MC1 GPU. It also features 3GB of
memory and 32GB of storage.
Lastly, the OLED Vision 55 runs on Android
TV 11. As usual, Xiaomi has its optional Patchwall UI, which you can use to
access content from over 30 different providers, although you will still have
to install their apps. The TV also has built-in far-field microphones so you
can use Google Assistant or interact with your smart home devices. The Xiaomi
OLED Vision 55 is priced at INR 89,999 with an INR 6,000 discount for HDFC Bank
credit card holders. It will go on sale on Thursday, May 19, 2022.
