What Xiaomi TV to buy in 2026: a detailed guide to choose from with model comparison

Choosing a Xiaomi TV in 2026 is not an easy task. The brand offers models from budget Mi TV A to premium Xiaomi TV S Pro with quantum dots, and the price difference between them can reach 100,000 rubles. At the same time, even in one line there are options with different diagonals, resolution and "chips" like Dolby Vision or 120 Hz. How not to overpay for unnecessary functions and not lose with quality?

In this guide, we analyzed the current models of 2023-2026, available in official stores in Russia, and divided them into categories: from kitchen TVs to game panels with HDMI 2.1. You will learn which technologies are really important and which should not be overpaid, and also get a checklist to check the TV before buying.

1. Key criteria for choosing a Xiaomi TV

Before comparing specific models, determine the basic parameters that directly affect the viewing comfort:

  • ๐Ÿ“ Diagonal and resolution. 43-50 inches with Full bedrooms are enough for a bedroom. HD, for living room from 55 inches - only 4K. Xiaomi doesnโ€™t make TVs less than 32 inches.
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Upgrade frequency: 60 Hz is suitable for movies, 120 Hz for dynamic games and sports. 144 Hz models (for example, Xiaomi) TV Q2 QLED) It is only relevant to professional gamers.
  • ๐ŸŽจ Type of matrix. VA-panels are cheaper and provide better contrast, IPS โ€” wider angles of view. Quantum dots (QLED) improve color reproduction, but are 30-50% more expensive.
  • ๐Ÿ”Š Sound. Built-in speakers up to 20 watts are good for news, movies need 30 watts or an external sound bar. Notice Dolby Atmos support.

Another important point is the firmware and ecosystem: all Xiaomi TVs run on Google TV (formerly Android TV), which guarantees access to Google Play, YouTube, Netflix and other services, but budget models may not support HDR10+ or ALLM (automatic game mode), which is critical for gamers.

โš ๏ธ In 2026, Xiaomi stopped supplying models with the DVB-T2 If you need an on-air TV, check for a tuner in the specifications or buy an external console.

2. Xiaomi budget models (up to 30,000) โ‚ฝ): what?

If your budget is limited to 30,000 rubles, the choice is narrowed to three lines: Mi TV A, Mi TV P1 and Redmi Smart TV. All of them are equipped with VA-matrixes with 4K resolution, but differ in brightness, sound and support for HDR.

The best option in this segment is Xiaomi Mi TV P1 43.

  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Price: ~25 000 โ‚ฝ (post-publication).
  • ๐Ÿ“บ Diagonal: 43 inches, 4K UHD, VA-matrix.
  • ๐Ÿ”Š Sound: 2 ร— 10 Wh, support for Dolby Audio.
  • โšก Pros: thin bezels, built-in Chromecast, 3 ports HDMI.
  • โš ๏ธ Cons: No Dolby Vision, only 250 nits bright (dim in daylight).

For the kitchen or bedroom, Redmi Smart is also suitable. TV A55 (55 inches, ~28 000 โ‚ฝ), But it's got a weak processor (CA53), So if you want a TV for a nursery or a summer cottage, you can slow down the interface when you multitask. TV A32 (32 inches, HD Ready is the only Xiaomi model with such a diagonal.

โš ๏ธ Note: Xiaomi budget TVs often have a problem with uneven backlighting (the effect of clouds on dark scenes.

3. Mid-segment (30,000-60,000) โ‚ฝ): Optimal Price/Quality Relationship

In this range, Xiaomi offers models with improved color reproduction, more powerful speakers and support for premium standards like Dolby Vision. The leader in price-performance ratio is Xiaomi TV Q2 55:

ModelDiagonalMatrixBrightness (thread)Sound.Price (โ‚ฝ)
Xiaomi TV Q2 55"55"QLED (VA)3502 ร— 12.5 Watt, Dolby Atmos.~45 000
Xiaomi TV A2 55"55"4K VA3002 ร— 15 Watt~38 000
Xiaomi TV P1 65"65"4K VA2802 ร— 10 Watt~50 000

Xiaomi TV Q2 It is distinguished by a quantum matrix with an extended color coverage (94% DCI-P3), Which makes the picture look better than the competitors. TCL Or Hisense, there's also a HDMI 2.1 (one port, which allows you to connect PS5 Xbox Series X with resolution 4K@120Hz. The downside is a weak processor (MT9638), heavy-handed 3D-Google Play.

If you need a large diagonal, pay attention to Xiaomi TV A2 65" (~48 000 โ‚ฝ). It is one of the few models in the 50,000-plus segment. โ‚ฝ with Dolby Vision support and HDR10+. But she's standard. VA-matrix without quantum dots, so the colors are less saturated than the Q2.

๐Ÿ’ก

If you choose between a Xiaomi TV Q2 and a TV A2 and you care about sound, take a Q2. It has better low-frequency processing thanks to its built-in subwoofer.

4. Xiaomi Premium TVs (from 60,000) โ‚ฝ): pay up?

In the premium segment, Xiaomi competes with Samsung and LG, Offering models with 120 Hz, Mini-LED backlighting and support for all modern standards HDR. The flagship of the line is Xiaomi TV S Pro 75" (~120 000 โ‚ฝ), But for most users, the possibilities are too much.

A more balanced option โ€“ Xiaomi TV Q2 QLED 65" (~75 000 โ‚ฝ):

  • ๐ŸŽฎ HDMI 2.1 (4 ports), 120 Hz, ALLM and VRR โ€” perfect for gamers.
  • ๐ŸŒˆ Quantum matrix with a brightness of 400 nits and a contrast of 6000:1.
  • ๐Ÿ”Š Sound: 2 ร— 15 Watt + subwoofer, support for Dolby Atmos.
  • โšก Processor: MT9652 (interface-free).

For movie-philes more interesting Xiaomi TV Master 65" (~90 000 โ‚ฝ) It has a Mini-LED backlight and a Local Dimming dimming zone, and it's a model that provides a black depth comparable to the black. OLED-But the Mini-LED in Xiaomi is inferior in quality of implementation in the case of the pixels. TCL 6-Series Samsung QN90C.

โš ๏ธ Attention: Xiaomi premium TVs are often sold with stripped-down firmware for the Russian market. TV S Pro may not have Google Assistant or some streaming services!

Mini-LED is better than usual LED-lighting?
Mini-LED uses thousands of small LEDs instead of a few dozen in standard backlighting, which allows you to more accurately control the brightness of different areas of the screen, reducing the effect of "blooming" around bright objects in a dark background. But the technology does not completely eliminate this effect โ€” for the perfect black color you need OLED.

5. Xiaomi for gamers: Which models support 120Hz and HDMI 2.1?

If youโ€™re connecting to a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X or a powerful PC, pay attention to four key parameters:

  1. HDMI 2.1 (at least 1 port) โ€“ for 4K@120Hz
  2. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) is an automatic switch to game mode.
  3. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) โ€“ synchronization of the frame frequency with the console for smoothness.
  4. Delay input (input lag) less than 15 ms.

Of the current Xiaomi models, only two fully meet these requirements:

  • ๐ŸŽฎ Xiaomi TV Q2 QLED 55"/65" โ€” 120 Hz, HDMI 2.1 (2 port), VRR, delay 12 MS. Minus: No Dolby Vision in game mode.
  • ๐ŸŽฎ Xiaomi TV S Pro 65"/75" โ€” 144 Hz, HDMI 2.1 (4 port), ALLM, delay 10 Plus: support NVIDIA G-Sync for PC. Minus: price from 100 000 โ‚ฝ.

For Xbox Series S or low-cost PCs, Xiaomi will also be enough TV A2 55" (~38 000 โ‚ฝ) โ€” her HDMI 2.0 (maximum 4K@60Hz), But there is. ALLM delay 14 MS, however, for Cyberpunk 2077 Call of Duty: Warzone in the United States 120 FPS It's not gonna fit.

๐Ÿ’ก

For the next generation consoles (PS5/Xbox Series X), the minimum set is HDMI 2.1 + ALLM + VRR. Without these technologies, you will not be able to fully use the capabilities of the hardware consoles.

6. Xiaomi Alternatives: When is it worth it on other brands?

Despite the good price/quality ratio, Xiaomi TVs are losing out to competitors in several scenarios:

  • ๐ŸŽฌ For the movie-philes: LG OLED (series C2/G2) Samsung QN90C Provide better contrast and processing HDR.
  • ๐ŸŽฎ For eSports: Samsung QN90B or TCL 6-Series have a lower input delay (8-10 ms vs. 10-15 ms from Xiaomi).
  • ๐Ÿ  Sony Bravia better integrated with Google Home and Apple HomeKit.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ For maximum savings: TCL or Hisense offer similar features for 10-15%.

If you want a TV with a diagonal of 85 inches or more, Xiaomi will not do it โ€” the brand does not produce models larger than 75 inches. In this case, look at the Samsung CU8000 (85) or TCL 85C745.

Xiaomi is also poorly represented in the segment. 8K-The only model is Xiaomi. TV Master 8K (98), but it is not officially sold in Russia and costs more than 300 000 โ‚ฝ. For 8K-It is better to consider Samsung content QN900C or LG Z2.

7.Where to buy Xiaomi TV: official stores vs marketplaces

In 2026, Xiaomi will be officially introduced in Russia through several channels:

  • ๐Ÿฌ Mi Store branded stores - 2 years warranty, original firmware, but prices are 5-10 above the market%.
  • ๐Ÿ›’ Marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon, M. Video) - there are often discounts, but the risk of running into a "gray" model with Chinese firmware.
  • ๐ŸŒ Foreign websites (AliExpress, Amazon) are cheaper, but there is no Russian localization and guarantee.

Checklist before purchase:

  1. Check the serial number on mi.com/global/verify, and it will confirm the originality.
  2. Check whether there is a Russian remote in the kit (in the "gray" models it may not be).
  3. Note the release date (on the box) If the TV is released before 2023, it may not support the new HDR standards.

โš ๏ธ Attention: Marketplaces often sell Xiaomi TVs with firmware for China, which may not have Google Play, but instead will have a Chinese app store!
