How to put legs on the TV Xiaomi: instructions with photos and videos

Installing legs on a Xiaomi TV is a seemingly simple task, but many users face difficulties, from mismatching mounts to the risk of damage to the body. Especially a problem for owners of Mi TV 4A/4S/5 and Redmi Smart TV models, where the design of the legs may differ from standard solutions. In this article, we will analyze all the stages of installation, from unpacking the kit to fixing the last screw, and also explain how to avoid typical errors that lead to staggering or skewed installation.

Not only do improperly attached legs damage the look, they also pose a risk of falling down on the TV, especially if there are children or pets in the house. For example, in the Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 55, the center of gravity is shifted forward due to the thin body, and not rigid enough mounting can lead to a rollover when you press the screen. We analyzed the instructions for 12 popular Xiaomi models and identified universal rules that will work even for rare modifications.

1.What legs are right for your Xiaomi TV?

Before buying or installing the legs, make sure they are compatible with your model. Xiaomi uses three main types of mounts:

• 🔧 Standard VESA- legs are suitable for most models (e.g. Mi TV 4S 50" or Redmi X50). Have screw holes M4/M6 in pitches 100×100 mm or 200×200 mm.
• 📦 Branded legs come in a box with a TV (for example, the Mi TV Q2 75"). Often have a non-standard shape and are attached to plastic latches.
• 🔄 Universal legs-racks — sold separately, adjustable in height and width. Suitable for the Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro and other premium models.

To determine exactly what type of mount, look at the back of the TV. It should have a VESA marking with a size indication (for example, VESA 200×200). If there is no marking, measure the distance between the screw holes - this will be the VESA step. For models Xiaomi Mi TV A Pro and Redmi Smart TV X often uses a non-standard step 300×300 mm, so the versatile legs may not fit.

The legs from Xiaomi Mi TV 4A are not compatible with Mi TV 5 due to the different mountings. If you lose the original legs, look for a replacement using the exact model of the TV.

⚠️ Warning: Do not use legs from other brands (e.g. Samsung or LG) without compatibility testing. The screws may not fit in diameter or length, resulting in weak fixation.

Preparation for installation: tools and safety

For the installation of legs you will need:

• 🔨 Screwdriver cross (PH2) or hexagon (depending on the model).
• 📏 A line or roulette for symmetry testing.
• 🧲 Magnetic holder for screws (optional but convenient).
• 🧴 Alcohol wipes - to clean the fasteners from factory lubrication.

Be sure to prepare the workplace:

1. Unpack the TV and place it down on a soft surface (such as a towel or cardboard box).
2. Make sure there is enough space around – some legs (like the Xiaomi Mi TV Q1E) require a wide swing to install.
3. If the TV is heavy (from 20 kg), ask the assistant to hold the body while fixing the screws.

In Xiaomi Mi TV 6 OLED and Redmi MAX 98′′, the legs are hidden under decorative stubs. Carefully tuck them in with a plastic card so as not to scratch the body.

⚠️ Warning: Do not place the TV on a hard surface (table, tile) without protection. Even light pressure on the screen can cause damage to the matrix, especially on OLED- models.

3. Step-by-step instructions: how to attach legs to the TV

Consider a universal algorithm, for example, Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55. For other models, the steps may differ slightly.

Step 1: Trying on the legs

Before fixing the screws, try on the legs to the TV to make sure that:

• The holes on the legs coincide with the holes on the back panel.
• The legs do not block the connectors (HDMI, USB, power).
• The TV is flat, without distortion.

Step 2: Fixing screws

Start with one leg:

1. Put the leg in the grooves on the back panel.
2. Twirl the screws cross-cross to avoid skewing. Don't tighten them completely at once - grab them slightly first.
3. Check that the leg fits tightly, without gaps.
4. Repeat for the second leg.

Step 3: Final puff

After pre-fixing:

1. Make sure the TV is flat (use the level or leveling app on your smartphone).
2. Tighten all screws to the point, but do not overdo it - you can tear the thread.
3. Check the stability by slightly pressing the corners of the TV.

5. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Even experienced users sometimes make mistakes when installing legs.

• ❌ Tug-tug screws -- you break the threads or crack the plastic case, so you can use a dynamometer key or you can twist the screws to a slight resistance.
• ❌ Model leg mismatch — for example, trying to put Mi TV 4A legs on Mi TV 5. Solution: check the compatibility table above.
• ❌ Ignoring the center of gravity — TVs with a diagonal of 65" should have legs wider than the body, otherwise the TV will be unstable. Solution: for Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 75" use legs with a width of at least 100 cm.
• ❌ Setting on an uneven surface -- even a slight slope can cause a fall. Solution: use a level or adjustable legs.

1. Puffing all screws (sometimes one screw can be weakened).

2.Sexuality - place a piece of paper under your legs and check if there are gaps.

3. TV weight – for models heavier than 25 kg (for example, Mi) TV 6 OLED) Use anti-slip pads.-->

6. Alternative methods of fastening: wall, ceiling, cabinet

If the legs don’t fit or you want to save space, consider alternative options:

• 🖼️ Wall mount – suitable for all Xiaomi models with VESA. Use a bracket with a margin by weight (for example, for Mi TV Q1E 75" you need a bracket of 50 kg).
• 🪟 Ceiling mounting is relevant for projection TVs (e.g. Xiaomi Mi Laser Projector) and requires a special bracket and professional installation.
• 🪑 A cabinet or stand is a versatile solution, but make sure that the bench is at least as wide as the legs. The Redmi MAX 98" will require a bench at least 40 cm deep.

If you choose a wall mount, consider:

• For OLED- TVs (e.g. Mi TV 6 OLED) use padded brackets to avoid damaging the screen.
• For models with a diagonal of 65" (Mi TV Q2 75"), attach the bracket to the load-bearing wall, not to the drywall.
• When attached to drywall, use butterfly anchors or chemical anchors (withstanding up to 30 kg).

💡

Wall mounts are more reliable than legs, but require accurate load calculation. For Xiaomi TVs weighing more than 20 kg, use brackets with a safety margin of at least 1.5× the weight of the TV.

7.How to remove legs from a Xiaomi TV (if you need to move or replace)

If you need to transport a TV or replace your legs, do so carefully:

1. Turn off the TV and put it down on a soft surface.
2. If the legs are on the screws, unscrew them cross-to-cross to avoid skewing the body.
3. For latch legs (such as Mi TV 4A), press the latchers on the inside of the leg and pull up.
4. Clean the holes from dust and check the thread for damage.

Important! In Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro and Q1E models, the screws can be hidden under decorative plugs. Carefully tuck them in with a plastic card so as not to scratch the body.
