How to properly attach the bracket to the Xiaomi TV: from the choice of mounting to the final setting

Installing a Xiaomi TV on the wall with a bracket is a task that requires accuracy and technical knowledge. Even if you have never done installation before, you can do it yourself, saving on the services of a master. The main thing is to choose the right mount, taking into account the weight and diagonal of your model (be it Mi TV Q2, Redmi Smart TV X or Xiaomi TV A Pro), and follow the step-by-step instructions.

Many users make common mistakes: choosing the wrong type of bracket (fixed, inclined or rotary), ignoring VESA standards, mislabeling holes or pulling bolts, which leads to a skewed screen. In this article, we will discuss the entire process from tool preparation to the final calibration of the viewing angle, and also explain how to avoid common problems.

Special attention will be paid to Xiaomi models with non-standard mounts (for example, Mi TV 4S 55" or Redmi MAX 98"), where the distance between the holes can be different from the classic VESA 200×200 or 400×400.

1. Choosing a bracket: which is suitable for your Xiaomi model

The first and most important step is to find a bracket that is compatible with your TV. All Xiaomi models support the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard, but the size of the mount varies depending on the diagonal:

• 📺 32–43 inches: typically VESA 100×100 or 200×200 (e.g., Mi TV 4A 32" or Redmi Smart TV 40").
• 📺 50–65 inches: VESA 200×200 or 400×200 (Mi TV Q1E 55," Xiaomi TV A Pro 65.
• 📺 75 inches and larger: VESA 400×400 or 600×400 (Redmi MAX 98," Mi TV Q2 75").

Check the exact parameters in the technical documentation or on the back of the TV - it indicates the distance between the holes (for example, M6 × 200 × 200). If the documentation is lost, use the official Xiaomi website (enter the model in the search).

By type of fastening brackets are divided into:

• 🔳 Fixed: The TV is adjacent to the wall (minimum distance of 2-3 cm) and suitable for thin-body models (Mi TV Q2).
• 🔄 Sloping - allows you to adjust the angle vertically (usually ±15°) and is convenient for installation above eye level.
• 🌀 Rotary - complete freedom of movement (tilt, left/right) - ideal for cornering, but require more space.

For Xiaomi TVs with a weight of up to 20 kg, a bracket with a load of up to 30 kg is suitable, for models of 65-98 inches (for example, Redmi MAX) - up to 50-60 kg. Do not skimp on mounting: cheap brackets made of silumin can deform over time.

⚠️ Warning: Xiaomi Mi TV 4S and Mi TV 4A have asymmetrical bolt holes. If the bracket doesn't dock, check if you've got the top/bottom mount mixed up.

Tool preparation and wall marking

Before installation, collect the necessary tools:

• 🔧 A screwdriver or screwdriver with nozzles (cross, flat).
• 📏 Roulette and level (laser or bubble).
• ✏️ Marking pencil.
• 🔨 Burning perforator (diameter depends on dowels).
• 🔑 A set of bolts and dowels (usually come complete with a bracket).
• 🧲 Wiring detector (optional, but recommended for safety)

Marking is a critical step, and a 1-2 cm error will cause a TV to skew.

1. Determine the height of the installation. Optimally, the center of the screen at eye level (sitting on the couch). For the Xiaomi 55, it is about 120-130 cm from floor to top edge.
2. Put a bracket against the wall and mark the holes with a pencil. Use the level so that the line is strictly horizontal.
3. Check if there are hidden wiring or pipes under the markup (use a detector).

For brick or concrete walls, dowels of 8-10 mm are suitable, for drywall - special "butterflies" or anchor bolts. If the wall is covered with panels, attach the bracket to the bearing profile.

💡

If you have a TV with a diagonal of 65" or more, use metal anchors instead of plastic dowels - they are more reliable to withstand weight.

3. Mounting the bracket to the wall: step-by-step installation

When the scoring is ready, start drilling and installing:

1. Drill holes on the marks. The depth should be 5-10 mm longer than the length of the dowel.
2. Put the dowels in the holes. If they don't hold, use glue or sealant.
3. Put a bracket on it and lock it with bolts. Don't tighten it to the end, check the horizontality level first.
4. Tighten the cross-cross bolts to avoid skewing.

For Xiaomi models with a metal body (such as the Mi TV Q2), use washer bolts to avoid damaging the thread. Puffing time is 4-6 Nm (use a dynamometer key if you have one).

If the wall is uneven, use pads between the bracket and the wall. For Xiaomi Mi TV 4S Curved, choose brackets with adjustable depth.

The bracket is fixed strictly horizontally | Bolts are tightened evenly | The distance between the holes coincides with the VESA TV | Cables are not clamped by the mount-->

4.Installation of the TV on the bracket: nuances for Xiaomi

Now, the most important thing is to hang up the TV, and you'll need the help of a second person (especially for 55 models and older).

1. Turn the TV screen down on a soft surface (such as a blanket).
2. Switch the bracket mounting plate to the back. Bolts usually come in the kit (standard - M4, M6 or M8).
3. Carefully lift the TV and hook the plate by the bracket hooks, make sure the locks are snapped.

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A and Redmi Smart TV bolt holes can be closed with plugs — remove them before installation. Do not use bolts longer than 15-20 mm — they can damage the internal components.

Important: Once installed, check if the bracket blocks HDMI ports, USB ports, or the power connector. If so, remove the TV and reset the plate above/below.

⚠️ Warning: Xiaomi TV A Pro TVs with Google TV have a light sensor on the back, and make sure the bracket doesn't close it, which will cause auto-brightness to malfunction.

5. Adjusting the angle of inclination and rotation

If you have installed a sloping or rotating bracket, adjust the position of the screen:

• 🔽 Slop: The optimal angle is 10-15 ° down if the TV is above eye level, and to do that, loosen the locking bolts on the bracket, set the right angle and pull them back.
• 🔄 Turn: Rotate the TV left/right to minimize glare from windows. Rotary brackets usually have a lock screw - lock it after setting it up.

For Xiaomi TVs with Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) (e.g. Mi TV Q2), make sure the viewing angle doesn’t distort the color rendering. If the picture is dim, return to neutral.

If after adjustment the TV spontaneously "slide" down, check:

• Are the bolts on the bracket tightened?
• Have not deformed plastic sleeves (replace them if necessary).
• Is the maximum weight for your bracket model exceeded?

6.Cable laying and final touches

To make the installation look neat, hide the cables.

• 🔌 Cables: Plastic boxes that attach to the wall, suitable for HDMI, USB and network cable.
• 🕳️ Hidden wiring: Drill a hole in the wall and stretch the cables inside (requires strobbling).
• 🧲 Magnetic holders: Fixed to the back of a TV (e.g., for a remote or power cable).

For Xiaomi TVs with Mi Home, you can sync the mount to the smart system, for example, set up automatic scripts:

• When the TV is turned on, Yeelight lighting is turned on.
• When the screen is turned 90°, the "Cinema" mode is activated.

To do this, go to Settings → Mi Home → Smart devices and add the TV as a managed device.

Xiaomi TVs with an Amlogic processor (such as the Mi TV 4S) may have a fall protection on their first turn on after installation. To reset it, press the Menu button on the remote for 10 seconds.

7. Frequent mistakes and how to avoid them

Even with a careful editing, you can run into problems.

• 🔧 The TV is hanging curve: Check the horizontality of the bracket level. If the skew is left, loosen the bolts and adjust the position.
• 🔊 Sound is quieter: Some Xiaomi models have speakers on the back, and if the bracket blocks them, take off the TV and reset the plate above.
• 📶 Wi-Fi signal goes missing: Metal bracket can shield the signal. Use antenna extension or move the router.
• 💡 Screen flickering: Check if the HDMI cable or power is clamped, and flickering can also be caused by the wrong angle (lamb glare).

If the TV does not turn on after installation, check:

1. Is the power cable connected (sometimes it falls out when lifting).
2. Are the contacts on the back panel closed (check the bolts - they should not touch the chips).
3. Has the fall protection worked (reset it as described above).

💡

If the Xiaomi TV after installation does not respond to the remote control, check whether the IR receiver bracket closes (usually located at the bottom right).
