How to fix the bracket on the Xiaomi TV: instructions with photos and tips

Why it is important to choose and install the right bracket for Xiaomi TV

Mounting a Xiaomi TV on the wall with a bracket is not only a way to save space, but also a guarantee of safety for expensive equipment. Incorrectly selected or installed mounting can lead to a fall of the device, damage to the matrix or even injuries, especially for large models of the Mi TV Q2 series, Redmi Smart TV X or flagship Xiaomi OLED Vision, which weigh more than 15-20 kg.

In this article, we will look at how to fit a specific Xiaomi model, what tools you need to install, and give you a step-by-step guide to the nuances of the brand's TV design. And also tell you what mistakes are most often made during installation and how to avoid them. If you have never attached a TV to the wall before, don't worry: our recommendations will help you cope with the task even without experience.

It’s worth noting that Xiaomi doesn’t always pack a wall-mounted TV set, for example, Mi TV 4A or Mi TV 4S are often sold with a stand but without a bracket, which means you have to buy it separately — and it’s important to make sure you don’t make the wrong choice.

What types of brackets are suitable for Xiaomi TVs

Before you run to the store for a mount, figure out what type of bracket is needed for your model, all of which fall into three main categories:

• 🔹 Fixed (static) - hard press the TV against the wall, not allowing you to change the angle of inclination, suitable for flat walls and rooms where the screen is staring directly opposite the screen.
• 🔹 Sloping - allows you to adjust the vertical angle (usually up to 15)° Ideal if the TV is above eye level (e.g. above the fireplace).
• 🔹 Articulated: the most versatile: you can tilt, turn left-right, and even push the screen away from the wall.

For most Xiaomi models (e.g. Mi TV P1, Redmi TV A2), a standard bracket with support for VESA, the international mounting standard, will suit. VESA size is specified in the format "width × height" in millimeters (e.g. 200 × 200, 400 × 400).

If you can’t find information about VESA, use the universal rule:

• 📺 For diagonals up to 43 inch - usually 200×200 or 200×100.
• 📺 For diagonals. 43–55 inch — 300×300 or 400×200.
• 📺 For diagonals from 65 inch — 400×400 or 600×400.

⚠️ Note: Some Xiaomi models (e.g. Mi) TV Lux OLED) They have non-standard mounting holes. Before buying a bracket, check their location on the back of the TV - sometimes they are offset relative to the center of the TV.

What tools and materials will be needed for installation

To fix the bracket on the wall and TV, prepare the following set:

Also, don't forget about:

• 🔧 Dubels and screws - their size should correspond to the weight of the TV. 30 Dowels are fine. 8×50 mm, for the heavier ones — 10×60 mm or anchor bolts.
• 📏 Roulette – to accurately measure the distance between the holes VESA.
• 🧲 Magnet or screwdriver with magnetic tip - will help not to drop bolts when attaching the bracket to the TV.

💡

If the wall is covered with drywall, use metal mortgages or molly dowels, which evenly distribute the load and prevent the mount from being pulled out.

Step-by-step: how to fasten the bracket to the Xiaomi TV

Now, to the editing process itself, follow the instructions consistently to avoid errors.

Step 1: Marking the wall

Determine the height at which the TV will hang. The optimal distance from the floor to the center of the screen:

• 📏 40–43 inches – 100–110 cm.
• 📏 50–55 inches – 110–120 cm.
• 📏 65 inches and more - 120-130 cm.

Put a bracket against the wall, level it up, and mark the holes with a pencil. Make sure they don't get into the wiring or pipes (use a metal detector if you're not sure).

Step 2: Mounting the bracket against the wall

Drill holes through the markup, insert dowels, and lock the bracket with screws. Don't twist them all the way to the end right away -- check first if the structure is evenly hanging. If the bracket is rotary, make sure the mechanism doesn't cling to the wall as it rotates.

Step 3: Mounting the bracket to the TV

Turn the TV down on a soft surface (like a blanket or cardboard). Attach the second part of the bracket to the back, matching the holes with the VESA connectors. Use the bolts that came with the bracket - don't replace them with longer ones so as not to damage the internal components of the TV.

Twisting the bolts cross-cross to spread the pressure evenly. Don't put too much effort into locking the mount tightly enough.

Step 4: Hanging the TV on the wall

Carefully lift the TV and grab it by the bracket on the wall. Most Xiaomi models use a latch system, you will hear a characteristic click. Then check the reliability of the mount by slightly pulling the TV on yourself.

⚠️ Warning: If the TV weighs more than 25 kg, it is better to edit with an assistant. Even if you can physically cope alone, the risk of dropping the device is too great.

Typical errors in bracket attachment and how to avoid them

Even with the seemingly easy editing, many people make mistakes that lead to problems, and here are the most common ones:

• 🔨 Wrong choice of dowels - if the wall is loose (like foam block), regular plastic dowels may not be able to withstand the weight.Use metal anchors or chemical dowels.
• 📐 Level Ignorance: A crooked TV not only spoils the view, but also puts additional strain on the mount. Always check the horizontal before the final fixation.
• 🔧 Tug bolts - excessive force when twisting can warp the back of the TV or damage the matrix.
• 🔌 Forget about cables - if the socket or HDMI-The port is close to the wall, and once installed, there may not be enough space to connect.

Another common problem is the incongruity. VESA-bracket and TV, for example, if you bought a mount 400×400, And your Xiaomi Mi. TV 4A 32" connector 200×200, You can't install it. Always check this before you buy it!

How to hide cables after installing a TV

Hanging wires spoil the whole view, so many people want to hide them.

• 🔌 Cable channels are plastic boxes that are attached to the wall. They're suitable for open wiring.
• 🏗️ Wall strutting -- wires are drowned into the wall and plastered -- this is a technique that needs repair, but it looks the most aesthetically pleasing.
• 🖼️ Decorative panels – if the TV is hanging on a drywall partition, you can make a false panel with holes for cables.
• 🔄 Controlled Extensors – Some models (e.g. Xiaomi Mi Smart Power Strip) allow you to turn on/off sockets through the app, making it easier to access power.

If you choose to strobe, remember: power and signal cables (HDMI, Ethernet) can not be laid in the same sling - this can cause interference, and avoid sharp curves of cables, especially HDMI 2.1, which are sensitive to fractures.

💡

For Xiaomi models with ALSA (Automatic Sound Customization) function, it is important not to overbend the cables too much – this can disrupt the microphones and speakers.

Maintenance and care of wall anchorages

After installing the TV on the bracket, do not forget to periodically check the reliability of the mount.

• 🔧 Every 6 months, pull up the bolts on the bracket - over time they may weaken.
• 🧹 Clean the back of the TV from dust regularly, especially if the bracket is rotary - dirt can get into the mechanism.
• 🌡️ Watch the temperature - if the TV warms more than usual, check whether the bracket covers the ventilation holes.
• 🔄 When moving or repairing, remove the TV from the bracket carefully, previously disconnecting all cables.

If you notice that the TV has started to “walk” or tilt, immediately remove it and check:

1. The integrity of the dowels in the wall.
2. Tightness of the bolts on the bracket.
3. No cracks or deformations on the mount itself.

For rotary brackets, it is also recommended to lubricate the moving parts with silicone lubrication once a year – this will prevent creaking and ensure smooth rotation.
