Xiaomi’s modern TVs are famous for their minimalist design and slim frames, but their installation often raises questions among users who are first faced with the installation of large equipment. Feet fastening is the first and critical step on which the stability of the device and the safety of the entire structure depends. A mistake at this stage can lead to the fall of an expensive panel, so it is important to strictly follow the algorithm of actions.
Unlike older models, where the stand could be monolithic, modern Xiaomi Mi TV and Redmi TV often have separate supports that require precise assembly.The process does not require special technical skills, but needs accuracy and, preferably, the help of a second person. Below we will discuss all the nuances of preparation and installation.
You need to prepare the workplace immediately, because the size of the screen will not allow you to do this "on weight", the width of the table for assembly should be at least 20 cm more diagonal than the TV screen, this will provide the necessary access to the mounting holes on the sides and prevent the edges of the matrix from hanging, which is fraught with mechanical damage.
Preparation of the workplace and tools
Before you start unpacking, evaluate the space. You need a flat, hard surface, free of foreign objects. Ideally, a large dining table, covered with soft cloth or blanket, so as not to scratch the screen. If you don't have that option, you can use the floor, but then you have to work on all fours, which is less convenient.
Pay attention to the lighting. You'll need to see the fine details, screws and markings, so dim light in the room is not allowed. Tools are usually included, but it's better to prepare a magnetic-tipped cross screwdriver (PH2) and soft-cloth gloves in advance so you don't leave any prints on glossy surfaces.
Make sure there is room for maneuver in the access area, you can't just drop the TV on your legs, you can keep it down and fixed smoothly, and you can check if all the components are in the box before you throw out the packaging.
Compilation and inspection of details
Inside the box with the Xiaomi TV, in addition to the screen and remote, there is a separate compartment with accessories, where you will find two legs (left and right), a set of screws and sometimes special decorative plugs. It is important to understand that the legs are often marked with the letters L (Left) and R (Right), and their entanglement will make editing impossible.
Carefully inspect the metal mount plates. They should be smooth, without any trace of deformation or rust. The screws are usually packed in a small bag or inserted in a foam holder. If the screws are missing or have damaged threads, you can not use them - this will lead to instability of the structure.
⚠️ Note: Do not use screws from other equipment or similar in size, but not included. the length and pitch of the threads Xiaomi is tailored specifically to the depth of the mounting holes in the case.
Put all the parts on the table in order of assembly, so you don't have to be distracted by the search process, when your hands are busy holding the heavy matrix, and check for instructions in a language you understand, even though visual schema is usually universal.
☑️ Verification of completeness
Safety technique during assembly
The TV matrix is the most fragile element of the entire system, and even a slight finger pressing on the screen of a working or turned off TV can lead to black spots or cracks, so you only need to keep the TV out of the frame or special technological holes in the back of the case, if they are designed.
Never take the TV by the top end if it is already partially mounted on the legs, but not yet fixed permanently.The center of gravity is shifted and the device may slip out of your hands. Also avoid touching the screen with your fingers in gloves if they have a pile or rigid elements.
If you're working alone, be very careful. While some models up to 32-40 inches can theoretically be assembled by one, the risk of damaging the screen increases many times over, and it's better to ask someone at home to just hold the TV while you twist the screws.
What to do if the screw is not screwed?
Step-by-step instructions for installing legs
Put the TV down on the prepared soft surface, make sure that the substrate does not have hard inclusions (buttons, knots in the tree) that could push the matrix. Carefully remove the protective film from the legs, if any, but do not remove the film from the screen until the end of the assembly.
Put your left leg on the right hole at the bottom of the body, put the mounting holes together, put the screws in the holes, but don't screw them until you're done, and you need to make all the screws on one side first, then on the other, so you can level the structure and avoid skewing.
Use a screwdriver for the final fixation. Twisting the screws tightly but without fanaticism. Excessive force can lead to a crack in the plastic mount. Once all screws are twisted, check the stability: slightly sway the TV (without lifting), the legs should not stagger.
💡
Use a magnetic screwdriver or stick a small piece of tape onto a sting of a regular screwdriver to hold the screw when you start screwing - this will free up the second hand to support the TV.
Compatibility table and anchorage specifications
Different Xiaomi TVs may have different types of mounts. Below is a table that will help you navigate the basic parameters for popular series. Remember that accurate data is always in the user manual of your particular model.
| TV series | Type of leg | Number of screws | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Mi TV P1 | Separate supports | 4 pcs on the side | It requires precise alignment. |
| Redmi Smart TV X | Central stand | 2 pcs on the base | Simplified installation |
| Mi TV 4A | Separate supports | 3 pcs on the side | Metal plates |
| Mi TV Stick | Not required | 0 | Connection via HDMI |
Pay attention to the weight of the device. For large diagonals (55 inches and above), the legs may have an additional rubber pad for better grip.
If your model is not listed in the table, the general logic is that the larger the diagonal, the more massive the supports must be and the more anchorage points are used, and symmetry is key to load distribution.
💡
Proper installation of the legs guarantees not only stability, but also durability of the TV body, preventing the appearance of microcracks from vibration.
Installation of the tube and stability check
Once the supports are successfully attached, you can place the TV in a permanent position, lift the device (preferably two) and gently place it on a stand or rack, and the surface should be flat and support the weight of the TV with a margin.
Check the horizontality of the installation. The screen should not be leaning in one direction. If the bench wobbles, the TV will be subjected to constant microvibration, which is harmful to the internal components. If necessary, use aligning linings under the legs of the bench, but not under the legs of the TV.
⚠️ Warning: Make sure the tube is deep enough. The legs should not hang from the edge, and the IR receiver and sensors (if located at the bottom) should not be covered by furniture items.
Now you can take the screen and turn on the device, check the image for defects that may have occurred during transportation or assembly, and if the picture is clear and the sound is there, the assembly was successful.
