The 55-inch Mi TV 4, from Xiaomi, is ridiculously high on tech and ridiculously low on price. At Rs 39,999, the 55-inch Mi TV 4 is the cheapest 4K HDR-ready high-end TV that money can buy. It is surely not perfect. Also, it could have done with some more 4K content out-of-the-box. But at its low price, all its imperfections -- and there are just a few of them -- seem to vanish into thin air giving way to the bigger picture: the 55-inch Mi TV 4 is the cheapest 4K HDR-ready high-end TV that money can buy.
The 55-inch Mi TV 4 will be available for buying online via Flipkart and Xiaomi's own Mi.com/in store from February 22. Here are 4 key things to know about it before you go make that investment.
Size and dimensions
The main USP of Xiaomi's Mi TV 4 is its design: more specifically its paper-thin profile. The Mi TV 4 measures just 4.99mm at its thinnest point, and only 48mm at its thickest. The base, to be attached separately should you be looking to mount it on a table, meanwhile measures just 216.5mm. The whole thing, including the base, weighs in at just under 20kg, making the Mi TV 4 one of the sleekest high-end TVs that money can buy.
While in China, the Mi TV 4, comes in 49, 55 and 65-inch versions, Xiaomi is only bringing the 55-inch version to India for now. Also, the Mi TV 4 is available in two variants in China: one that's modular and allows users to selectively upgrade the display, the motherboard and the audio components and another that's more mainstream and quite obviously lighter on the pocket. Xiaomi is only bringing the latter to India for now.
Technical specifications
The Mi TV 4 comes with a custom-built Samsung 4K SVA (Superior Vertical Alignment) display panel with a 3840x2160 pixel resolution and a contrast ratio of 6000:1. It boasts of a latency of 8 ms and a refresh rate of 60Hz, 178 degree viewing angles and dynamic backlighting that automatically adjusts according to the content on screen. It comes with a built-in eye protection mode -- to be enabled manually -- that should technically entail in comfortable viewing/with less strain on the eyes for binge-watching. There's support for the HDR standard as well, although there's no Dolby Vision.
Xiaomi's Mi TV 4 is powered by a 1.8GHz quad-core Amlogic T968 Cortex-A53 processor coupled with Mali-T830 MP2 GPU. It comes with 2GB of DDR4 RAM and 8GB of flash storage. It comes with dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 4.0, along with two 8W speakers with support for Dolby audio and DTS. The 55-inch Mi TV 4 sadly doesn't support Dolby Atmos.
Software
The Mi TV 4 is based on Android, but, it isnt an Android TV. Much like its phones, Xiaomi has also skinned the Mi TV 4 with its own take on Android. Xiaomi is calling it PatchWall, and the company has apparently made India-specific changes to the platform although the inherent philosophy still remains largely unchanged. PatchWall is based on "deep learning AI that references metadata to make intelligent content recommendations tailored to you," according to Xiaomi which means it's always learning and evolving. PatchWall, because it is AI-driven, comes with the ability to learn a user's viewing habits and then accordingly it suggests content based on their preferences. The emphasis lies on showing more content on one screen as quickly as possible, or through the shortest possible path.
