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

Why installing legs on Xiaomi TV requires special attention

Xiaomi’s latest generation TVs are not only advanced 4K@120Hz and Dolby Vision, but also sophisticated mounting engineering. Even with these devices, leg installation can be problematic, because the Chinese manufacturer often uses custom locking schemes other than the usual screw connections of Samsung or LG.

The main problem is the lack of a universal standard for mountings among Xiaomi lines: legs for Mi TV Q2 55" will not fit with Redmi Smart Fire TV 43", and models labeled E (for example, Xiaomi TV E55K) require special plastic latches. In addition, the package often lacks instructions in Russian, which complicates the task for inexperienced users.

What tools will be needed for installation

Before you start, prepare the necessary toolkit. In most cases, it is enough what comes with the TV, but for some models (for example, Xiaomi TV A Pro or Mi TV P1) may require additional devices.

• 🔧 Cross screwdriver (usually sized) PH2) — metal-stitch.
• 📏 Line or roulette – to precisely align the legs in the center of the body.
• 🧲 Magnetic screwdriver or tweezers - for ease of working with small screws (relevant for Xiaomi models) TV S Pro).
• 🧴 Alcohol wipes - to clean seats from factory lubrication or dust.
• 🔨 Rubber hammer (optional) – if the legs are fixed with latches, a slight tapping may be required.

Important: the Xiaomi TV usually comes with 4 screws (2 per leg), but for models with a diagonal of 65" and above, there may be more. Check the availability of all parts before you start work - the absence of even one screw will make the mounting unreliable.

Step-by-step: how to attach legs to the TV

The process of installing legs on Xiaomi TVs can be divided into 3 stages: preparation, attachment and stability check. Let's consider each of them in detail.

Step 1: Preparation of the TV and the working surface

Before you start, disconnect the TV from the network and place it down on a soft surface (like a towel or foam). Avoid hard desks, this can damage the matrix. Make sure there is enough room around for maneuver.

Clean the landing holes on the back of the TV from dust and factory lubrication. Use alcohol wipes to do this. If the holes are covered with a protective film, carefully remove it.

Stage 2: Fixing the legs

Depending on the Xiaomi model, the process may vary, and the following are the diagrams for the most popular series:

For screw-mounted models:

1. Combine the leg with the landing holes on the back panel.
2. Start to twist the screws diagonally to avoid distortion.
3. Tighten the screws with a force of 1.5-2 N·m (do not pull!).

Check the complete set (screws, legs, instructions)

Shut down the power and all cables.

Stage 3: Sustainability testing

After you set the legs, turn the TV over gently and put it on a flat surface.

• 📐 Horizontal alignment – the TV should not swing.
• 🔄 Symmetry – the distance from the legs to the edges of the body should be the same.
• 🛠️ Strength of fastening – try to sway the TV slightly over the top corners.

💡

If the legs wobble after installation, check if you forgot to remove the protective film from the rubber pads on the base of them. It often goes unnoticed!

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Even with the seemingly simple process, many users make mistakes that can cause the TV to fall or damage the body, the most common of which are:

⚠️ Warning: Never use screws from other devices (e.g. furniture) IKEA) — They may not fit in the length or the thread, and this will damage the internal plastic bushings of the TV.

• 🔩 Tug screws - can cause cracks in the plastic case or strain threads. Use a dynamometer screwdriver or twist "hand" with moderate effort.
• 🔄 Failure to follow the twist sequence – always start with diagonal screws to evenly distribute the load.
• 📏 Incorrect positioning of the legs - if they are installed too close to the edge, the TV will be unstable.The optimal distance from the edge of the body is 5-10 cm.
• 🧲 Ignoring magnetic mounts in Xiaomi models TV The S Pro legs are fixed by magnets before the screws are twisted. If you skip this step, the mounting will be unreliable.

Another common problem is that the legs and the TV model are not matched, for example, the legs from the Mi TV 4S 55 will not fit the Mi TV 4A 55, despite the same diagonal. Always check compatibility by article or serial number on the official Xiaomi website.

Features of installing legs on popular Xiaomi models

Each series of Xiaomi TVs has unique nuances of mounting. Consider the most common models presented in the Russian market.

Mi TV Q2 / Q2Q (2022–2026)

These models have a combined mounting system, where the foot is fixed with plastic latches, and then the screws are twisted.

• The latches should be clicked twice - this is a signal of correct fixation.
• The screws come with a press puck - do not lose it, otherwise the mounting will be unreliable.

Redmi Smart Fire TV (2023)

This is a classic screw mount, but with one thing in mind: the screw holes have a threaded insert that can fall out if you're not handling it carefully, and if you're doing that, you can put it back in with tweezers.

Xiaomi TV A Pro / A2 (2021–2023)

These models don't have screws, they have plastic latches on their legs.

1. Combine the leg with the grooves on the body.
2. Press until a characteristic click (up to 10-15 kg may be required).
3. Check the fixation by slightly pulling the leg up.

Mi TV P1 / P1E (2020–2022)

These TVs have legs attached to metal clips that need to be spread out to the sides first and then fixed with screws.

• The clamps must fit tightly to the body without gaps.
• The screws here are longer than the usual ones (M5×14), so don’t confuse them with screws from other devices.

💡

For Xiaomi TV A Pro and Redmi Smart Fire TV, the legs can be mounted without tools — hand power is enough. But for reliability, it is recommended to use a screwdriver for final fixation.

How to remove legs from Xiaomi TV (if necessary)

Sometimes you have to remove the legs, for example, for wall mounting or transportation, the process of reverse installation, but has its own nuances:

⚠️ Note: When removing legs from Xiaomi models TV A Pro don't pull them up by force -- it can break the plastic latches. Instead, press the latches on the inside of the leg with a thin screwdriver.

General instruction:

1. Turn off the TV and place it down on a soft surface.
2. So, you can unscrew all the screws (if you have them).
3. For models with latches: Find a small hole on the inside of the leg. Put a thin screwdriver in it and press to unlock the latches. Carefully pull the leg up.

Mi TV P1

After removing the legs, check the integrity of the threaded bushings and latches. If they are damaged, contact the service center for replacement. It is recommended to store the legs in the original packaging or wrapped in soft fabric to avoid scratches.

Alternative methods of installation: wall mounting and racks

If standard legs don’t suit you (for example, due to space constraints or design preferences), consider alternatives:

• 🖼️ The wall mounting - this will require VESA-bracket (size depends on model) 200×200 mm 400×400 Make sure the wall can withstand the weight of the TV (e.g. Xiaomi Mi). TV Q2 65" weight ~20 kilogram).
• 🛋️ Universal. TV-Stands - suitable for diagonals from 32" to 75." Choose racks with adjustable leg width.
• 🔧 Rotary brackets, which allow you to adjust the angle of inclination and rotation of the TV, ideal for the corner setup.

When choosing a wall mount, pay attention to the weight load and compatibility with VESA. For example, for Xiaomi Mi TV Q2 75" you will need a bracket with support for VESA 400×400 and a maximum load of at least 30 kg.

If you decide to use the rack, check:

• Compatibility in terms of diagonal and weight.
• Availability of a cable control system (so that the wires do not get confused).
• Material (metal is preferred over plastic).
