How Much a Xiaomi TV Weighs: A Complete Guide to Models with Tables and Tips

When choosing a Xiaomi TV, many users overlook the important parameter of the weight of the device. Why should you? It depends not only on the ease of transportation, but also on the choice of bracket for wall mounting, the strength of furniture, and in some cases even the safety of the household. For example, the 55-inch Mi TV Q2 weighs almost 15 kg, and if it is not properly fixed on the drywall, the consequences can be disastrous.

In this article, we’ve gathered up-to-date weight data from all popular Xiaomi models (including the Mi TV, Redmi Smart TV and Mi TV A series) based on diagonal, stand type and year of release. You’ll learn how to interpret weight in specifications, what nuances are important to consider when installing, and why the weight of a stand TV can differ from the weight without it by 20-30%.

Why Xiaomi TV Weight Is More Important Than You Think

At first glance, TV weight seems to be a secondary characteristic compared to screen resolution or supported HDR formats. However, this misconception can be costly, both literally and figuratively. Here are three key reasons why device weight matters:

• 🔧 Security of the mounting. Wall brackets are designed to handle a specific load. VESA-mounting TV P1 can withstand up to 20 kg, but if the weight of the TV exceeds this threshold (and taking into account the dynamic loads during vibration - even more so), the risk of falling increases.
• 🚛 Logistics: When ordering delivery, courier services often charge extra for bulky goods over 10 kg. And if you plan to transport the TV yourself, knowing the exact weight will help you choose the right transport.
• 🪑 Sturdiness of furniture: Chipboard or MDF cabinets and shelves may not support the weight of large models (e.g. Xiaomi Mi). TV Q2 75" weighs almost 30kg!!!) Furniture manufacturers rarely specify maximum shelf load, so it's best to be safe.

Also, weight is indirectly indicative of build quality: a large light TV can indicate the use of thin plastic or the absence of a metal frame, which affects durability. On the other hand, excessive weight (for example, in models with direct lighting) is not always justified, it complicates installation and increases the load on the wall.

Table of weight of Xiaomi TVs by models (2020-2026)

Below are the latest weight data for Xiaomi’s popular series, including Mi TV, Redmi Smart TV and Mi TV A. Weight may vary slightly depending on the batch and configuration (e.g., additional accessories in the box).

Note that the weight of the direct-light models (e.g. Q2 or Q1E series) is significantly higher than that of the side-lighted devices (P1 series or Redmi Smart TV), which is due to the use of additional LED arrays to improve contrast, and the weight of the stand can vary from 0.5 to 2 kg depending on the material (plastic vs. metal).

💡

The weight of the TV with a stand is always indicated in the specifications, but for wall mounting, weight WITHOUT a stand is important!

How to weigh Xiaomi TV at home

If you have already bought a TV but are not sure of its weight (for example, you have lost a box or documentation), you can weigh it yourself.

1. Floor scales: Place the TV on the scales vertically (screen up), with a soft cloth previously attached so as not to scratch the surface. For models over 20 kg, use scales with a measurement limit of up to 50 kg.
2. Household scales + maths. Weigh yourself, then hold the TV and re-weigh yourself. The difference between the two values will be the weight of the device. The method is suitable for models up to 15 kg.
3. Canters: Hang the TV carefully behind the VESA mounts using belts or rope, which is the most accurate method, but requires caution.

⚠️ Warning: Never lift the TV behind the screen or thin edges of the body! This can damage the matrix. Always use mounts. VESA (four holes on the back panel) or the lower part of the body.

💡

If the TV is too heavy to weigh by hand, place it on a flat surface (like a table), then lift one edge and measure the force with a dynamometer. Multiply the result by 2, and get an approximate weight.

Choosing a bracket for a Xiaomi TV: how not to go wrong with weight

One of the most common mistakes when buying a bracket is to focus only on the diagonal of the TV, ignoring its weight. For example, the bracket "up to 65 inches" can be designed for a maximum load of 25 kg, but the Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 65" weighs 20.5 kg, and taking into account dynamic loads (vibration, accidental shocks), this margin of safety is insufficient.

Here are the key rules for choosing a fastener:

• 🔨 The bracket must withstand a weight greater than the mass of the television on the 30-50%. For example, for a weight model 15 Kg need a bracket on 20-22 kilogram.
• 📏 Compatibility VESA. Make sure the distance between the mounting holes on the TV (standard) VESA) It matches the bracket parameters. Xiaomi uses the most standards. 200×200 mm (for) 43-55"), 300×300 mm (for) 65") and 400×400 mm (for) 75" higher).
• 🧱 For drywall or foam block, choose brackets with an increased number of mounting points (at least 6 dowels.

If you plan to attach the TV to a rotary bracket, consider that it must withstand dynamic load — the weight of the TV plus the force of inertia when turning. For Xiaomi models weighing more than 15 kg, gas-dampened brackets are recommended.

Xiaomi TV Transportation: How to Avoid Damage

Transporting a TV is a responsible process, especially when it comes to large models (65" and above), the main danger is not so much the weight, but the fragility of the matrix and the backlight.

• 🚗 Transportation position: The TV must always be carried in a vertical position (screen up or forward) and the horizontal position may cause damage to the matrix due to the deflection of the frame.
• 📦 Package: If the original box doesn't survive, use bubble wrap and cardboard inserts to lock the TV inside the transport containers. Pay special attention to the corners, which are the most vulnerable.
• 🛣️ In the car, the TV should be rigidly fixed with straps or ropes to avoid displacement when braking!

⚠️ Warning: If you transport a TV in a negative temperature (e.g. in winter), give it at least 2 hours to acclimatize before turning on. A sharp temperature drop can cause condensation inside the case, which will lead to a short circuit.

For models weighing more than 20 kg (for example, Mi TV Q1E 75) it is recommended to use specialized carts or transport belts.

The weight of the TV and its impact on image quality

Many users mistakenly believe that the heavier the TV, the better the quality, and in fact, weight is not a direct indicator of the picture, but it can indirectly indicate some technical features:

• 💡 Type of backlights: Direct-lighted TVs (e.g. Xiaomi Mi) TV Q2) Weightier due to additional LED arrays that improve local dimming and contrast.Side-lighted models (e.g. Redmi Smart) TV X) lighter, but may lose uniformity of illumination.
• 🔊 Televisions with built-in subwoofers or powerful speakers (e.g. Mi). TV Q1E Dolby Atmos systems weigh more due to additional acoustic components.
• 🛠️ Material of the case. Metal frames (as in the series) Q2) Plastic housings (Redmi series) are lighter, but less resistant to mechanical damage.

However, not always a lot of weight is justified. For example, some Xiaomi budget models can weigh a lot because of the thick plastic body, which does not affect the image quality. So when choosing a TV, focus on the specifications (type of matrix, brightness, HDR support), rather than weight.

Interestingly, the Xiaomi Mi TV Q1E 75" weighs almost 30 kg, but its weight is mainly due to the metal frame and cooling system, not the screen. At the same time, the Redmi Smart TV X 50" weighs less than 10 kg, but is equipped with the same 4K VA matrix with HDR10+ support.

Common Mistakes When Choosing a Xiaomi TV by Weight

When buying a TV, many users make common mistakes that are associated with misestimating its weight, and the most common ones are:

1. Ignoring the weight of the stand. The characteristics often indicate the weight without the stand, but when you install it on the stand, the total weight is important. For example, the Mi TV P1 55" weighs 11.5 kg without the stand and 12.8 kg with it - a difference of almost 1.5 kg can be critical for fragile furniture.
2. When ordering delivery, couriers focus on the total weight (TV + box + protection). For example, Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 65" in the package weighs about 25 kg, which can affect the cost of delivery.
3. If the bracket is 20 kg and the TV weighs 19 kg, it doesn't mean that the mount is suitable. You need a safety margin of at least 30%!
4. Untested installation. Even if the bracket is correctly selected, it needs to be tested before the final installation, put a weight equivalent to the weight of the TV on it, and check the reliability of the mount in 24 hours.

⚠️ Note: If you buy a Xiaomi TV from hand, be sure to check the integrity of the mounts VESA. In some cases, previous owners may damage the thread if it is not neatly dismantled, making wall mounting impossible.
