For television, OLED screens are still synonymous with luxury. However, as the OLED industry chain develops, Xiaomi has significantly reduced the overall cost of OLED TVs and launched Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED. The Xiaomi TV 6 OLED series has reached the price of a conventional, not very expensive LED TV.
The Xiaomi TV 6 OLED TV is currently available in both 55-inch and 65-inch versions. Will the low price affect the picture quality of this TV? Should I buy Mi TV 6 OLED? In the proposed review of Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED 55″ 4K HDR, we will try to answer these and other questions.
Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED Review
Design
The appearance of the Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED 55″ TV does not differ much in its originality from other OLED TVs. The screen is framed by a thin frame. The width of the upper left and right bezels is about 6mm, the width of the bottom bezel is about 10mm, which is a good result for this price category.
The back of the TV 6 OLED is a plain plastic panel. The thickness of the case is similar to the thickness of many OLED TVs. Beneath the striped plastic back cover is a 25W two-channel stereo system, which will be discussed below. In addition, the Xiaomi TV 6 OLED has a built-in 4 microphone array to support remote voice.
In terms of design, the front of the Xiaomi TV 6 OLED is pretty good. The design and interface on the back is relatively simple. Apparently the manufacturer decided that the TV is usually watched from the front. The Mi TV 6 OLED 55″ comes with only one Bluetooth remote control.
This means that the user does not have to point the remote, as is the case with an infrared remote control, which is more commonly used on TVs. When mounting the TV on the wall, you will need a 300 x 300 mm VESA bracket.
Video quality
The OLED screen of the Xiaomi Mi TV 6 55 OLED TV has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 or 4K. The advantage of such a screen over LCDs is that the 8,294,400 pixels can be independently controlled by light switches. At the same time, contrast and brighter colors are significantly improved.
In terms of hardware, Xiaomi TV 6 OLED is powered by MTK 9638 quad-core processor. The system has 3GB RAM plus 32GB internal storage. MeMC features are also built in to display a smoother picture. Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED TV supports Dolby Vision , HDR10 Plus, HDR10 and HLG technologies.
The device has 10-bit color depth. Peak brightness in HDR mode is 800 nits. Setting the permanent dimming to full brightness reduces visual fatigue. Another advantage of OLED screens is their wide viewing angles. Even when viewed at an angle of 160 degrees, color perception remains the same.
This makes the OLED TV suitable for group viewing. When viewing high-definition images at an angle, the colors remain just as vibrant. Grayscale is still good due to the special nature of OLED. The contrast reaches 1 million to 1. Therefore, black remains black and white remains white.
For different usage scenarios, Mi 6 OLED 55 TV offers different video modes such as Standard, Cinema, Display Mode and so on. If you watch sports, you can turn on MEMC motion compensation to make the picture smoother.
By the way, according to user reviews, the Sport mode is the most optimal for watching videos of any genre. The Xiaomi TV 6 uses an OLED matrix, which is usually used in LG A1 or LG A2 TVs .
The main feature of this matrix is that its refresh rate is 50 frames per second. Despite this, there is no afterimage on these TVs. There is also no color banding even on a gradient background. Pixel response time is 10ms.
Sound quality
In the acoustic configuration of Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED, the TV has a two-channel stereo system with two speakers with a power of 12.5 W each. Such a system gives some advantages over those TVs in which the sound is implemented using two speakers of 8 or 10 watts. However, when watching content with surround sound, as well as when watching music programs, the bass will be clearly lacking. In this case, you will need an additional home theater system or soundbar.
Connections
In terms of connections, the Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED TV patch panel contains 3 HDMI2.0 interfaces (one for eARC ), AV-in interface, antenna inputs, 2 USB connectors (one of which is USB 3.0), digital optical audio output, line-in Ethernet (RJ-45) for connecting to the Internet and a slot for connecting paid programs. Wireless connections include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The power connector is located in the lower left corner.
Conclusion
Compared with traditional LCD TVs, Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED offers more vivid color reproduction and 10-bit color. Since this is the most affordable OLED TV, Xiaomi’s efforts were clearly not in vain. If you can accept the disadvantages inherent in OLED technology, then Xiaomi MI TV 6 OLED will be the most economical choice.
