It's hidden from most users, but when used correctly, it can dramatically change your experience with technology. Unlike standard brightness or sound settings, Tile Fun works at the level of system algorithms, optimizing the display of content based on the type of screen, lighting, and even your personal preferences.
In this article, we will not just explain what Tile Fun is on Xiaomi — it is not a normal image mode, but a technological complex that combines hardware calibration of the matrix with software signal processing. You will learn how the feature affects color reproduction, contrast and even power consumption of the device. And also — why some users turn it off immediately after purchase, and how to properly configure Tile Fun to avoid typical errors.
Spoiler: if your Mi TV or Redmi Smart TV And suddenly you start winking at bright colors when you watch movies, and it may be this mode that's to blame, but don't be too quick to turn it off, because when you set it up properly, it can outperform even professional calibrations for 10,000.₽.
What is Tile Fun: A Technical Explanation
Tile Fun is Xiaomi’s proprietary technology, which was introduced in 2021 with the Mi TV Q2 line and later integrated into the firmware of most of the brand’s smart TVs, based on the concept of dynamic screen segmentation: the system breaks the picture into hundreds of micro-sections (tiles), each of which is processed separately.
How does it work in practice? Imagine you're watching a movie with dark scenes on a sunny day, and a typical TV will either light up the black tones or make the image too dim, and Tile Fun analyzes every single part of the frame and:
- 🔍 Increases brightness only for light objects (such as actors’ faces), leaving the background dark.
- 🎨 Adjusts color temperature depending on the lighting in the room (data is taken from the ambient light sensor, if any).
- ⚡ Optimizes energy consumption by reducing backlighting in static areas (e.g. channel logos).
It's important to understand that Tile Fun is not just software, it uses a special chip in a TV (in QLED and OLED models it's Xiaomi Amlogic T982 or similar), which runs parallel to the main processor, which is why the feature is not available on all devices, only on those with hardware support.

How to turn on and configure Tile Fun: step-by-step instructions
By default, Tile Fun is often turned off, and the manufacturer is afraid to scare users with unusual screen behavior. To activate and configure the function, follow this instruction (for example, Mi TV Q2):
Make sure the TV is connected to the Internet (you need to download profiles)
Turn off the "Energy Saving" and "Night Light" modes
Close all running apps (especially games)
Use a signal source with support HDR (Netflix, YouTube HDR)-->
Now we move on to the setting:
- Select one of the preliminary profiles: 🎬 Movies – for films with an emphasis on details in the shadows. 🎮 Games – reduces processing delay, but worsens color reproduction. 🏠 Home – Balance between brightness and energy saving. 👤 Custom - manual setting (about it below).
Extended parameters
- Motion sensitivity (0–100%) – how quickly the system responds to scene changes
- Contrast zones (low/medium/high) – how aggressive the division into tiles will be.
- Color temperature (warm/neutral/cold).
💡
On TVs with OLED-matrix, turn off Tile Fun when viewing static content (for example, channel logos) – this will prolong the life of the pixels.
Hidden features of Tile Fun: what does the function besides the main one
Few people know, but Tile Fun can do more than just improve the picture. Here are 5 non-obvious features:
