If buyers note a number of serious shortcomings, then this model is unlikely to be included in this rating.

Criterias of choice

When choosing technology, pay attention to the screen resolution - the number of dots per inch. Most Xiaomi models have Full HD (1920x1080 pixels), but some TVs have a 4K screen with a resolution of 3840x2160. Devices with Full HD video format are not inferior to such models, since they reproduce high-quality images.

Expensive 4K devices provide better detail and are the choice of designers or other professionals who need to view images. Pay attention to the flickering frequency of the picture: it should be 60 Hz.

Most TVs are equipped with an LED matrix, but now the AMOLED matrix is ​​being actively advertised; it is called organic. A device with an AMOLED matrix is ​​more expensive, it reproduces black colors well and makes the image contrast.

Xiaomi TV screens are made using the same technology, which allows you to display high-quality pictures with a different color range. If necessary, the user adjusts the shades himself.

The original design of the device is not convenient to use if you watch movies with the whole family. In this case, it is better to purchase a classic model.

When purchasing equipment, pay attention to the availability of Smart TV. The function is a set of applications designed to broadcast video from the Internet. A smartphone or tablet is used as a control element. Someone buys a TV without a Smart TV, but uses a set-top box based on Android OS to stream movies (the device is connected to an HDMI port).

If the equipment will serve as a media center, it must have many ports. A game console is connected to one, and Media Player is connected to the other. It is better to purchase acoustics separately, choose a multi-channel subwoofer or sound amplifier (if necessary).

Top 9. Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55

Rating (2021): 4.25

Therefore, any movie on this TV can be watched with really good music accompaniment. In addition, the Mi TV 4S model is complemented by an audio coaxial output, which allows you to connect Xiaomi’s development to a powerful speaker system, for example, a home theater, and transmit 5.1-channel digital sound from a TV without losing quality. Almost better image quality has also become the strength of the device. The 55-inch screen boasts full 4K UHD resolution and HDR support, making it an excellent choice for high dynamic range video playback. Buyers also note excellent color rendering and decent functionality.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Copes even with launching games
• Colorful image
• Adequate price tag

• Very little built-in memory
• Not the best sound system
• I would like a deeper black color

Which is better to choose: Samsung or Xiaomi?

Samsung introduces proprietary innovative technologies into its products that improve sound and picture quality: Ultra Black, Anynet+, Remastering Engine. Most models run on their own Tizen operating system, which saves energy consumption due to HTML5 support, built-in data encryption mechanisms and file containerization.

The Samsung TV range uses all diagonal resolution standards: from HD TV to Ultra HD Premium, combining extended range technology, which allows you to increase Ultra HD resolution and contrast. In addition, all devices are equipped with the HDR 1000 function, which provides more accurate color reproduction and improves picture detail. By the way, it was Samsung that developed the curved screen, which provides enhanced image perception.

It is worth highlighting the general advantages that are characteristic of TVs from the South Korean brand:

• use of a QLED screen of high quality;
• wide selection of software in smart models;
• the presence of one 20 W Dolby Digital Plus speaker system, which ensures complete immersion in what is happening on the screen;
• ergonomic appearance.

A typical problem with Samsung TVs is uneven backlighting, especially side lighting. After purchase, you must manually calibrate the image processing parameters, otherwise some dynamic scenes on the screen may not be reproduced properly. As for the operating system, pre-installed software cannot be removed, and the capabilities of the built-in media player are limited in many models.

TVs from Xiaomi have an acceptable pricing policy, although they are not inferior in functionality to their South Korean competitor. The company cannot be blamed for saving on the materials from which the models are made: high-quality plastic for budget TVs and elegant metal cases for premium TVs.

The matrices of devices from the Chinese manufacturer are used from Samsung, LG or AUO, which achieves high contrast, detail and color saturation. At night, there are no gray shades or highlights on the screen. Many Xiaomi models are equipped with two powerful speakers with deep bass. TVs run on the MIUI TV operating system, which is flexible and versatility.

The following advantages can also be highlighted:

• a large number of supported formats;
• control function from a smartphone;
• integration with the Mi Home system;
• presence of voice control;
• built-in artificial intelligence.

One of the significant disadvantages is the lack of a Russified menu, especially when ordering models from China. The second drawback follows smoothly from the first - a very complex first setup, which can take several hours for an unprepared user. Connecting an analog antenna or cable television is impossible: Russian frequencies do not work on Chinese TVs. And the reason for the low price with good characteristics lies in advertising, with the help of which all the company’s expenses are covered: Xiaomi OS has many paid services from China.
