Replacement of the matrix on the TV Xiaomi: prices 2026, where cheaper and how to save

Matrix failure is one of the most expensive malfunctions in Xiaomi TVs. The screen can crack from mechanical impact, burn out due to overheating or simply stop displaying the image due to factory defects. But how much does it really cost to replace it in 2026? The answer depends on the model, diagonal, type of matrix and even the region of residence.

Many owners face a dilemma: give TV to a service center, look for a private master or try to fix yourself. In this article, we will analyze the current prices for replacing the matrix for popular models of Xiaomi Mi TV, Redmi Smart TV and other series, compare the cost of original and non-original parts, and also tell you how not to run into scammers.

If your Xiaomi stopped turning on, there were vertical stripes or broken pixels on the screen - do not rush to write it off as a scrap. Perhaps the problem is solved, and we will help assess whether the game is worth the candle.

Why the matrix breaks in Xiaomi TVs: the main reasons

The matrix is the heart of the screen, and it rarely fails suddenly, most often preceded by noticeable symptoms or external influences, and the most common causes are:

• 💥 Mechanical damage: falling, hitting, or pressurizing the screen (e.g. if a heavy object falls on TV or is transported lying down without protection).
• ⚡ Voltage surges: Power surges can burn not only the power supply, but also damage the chips of the matrix.
• 🔥 Overheating: If the TV is in a closed cabinet or next to the battery, the matrix may be warped by high temperatures.
• 🖥️ Marriage or wear: Low-cost Redmi Smart TV models sometimes suffer from pixel burnout or panel delaminatement after 2-3 years of use.
• 💧 Fluid ingestion: Even a small amount of moisture inside the housing can cause corrosion of the matrix contacts.

One of the key signs of a matrix malfunction is that the image is there, but it's distorted: vertical/horizontal bands, broken pixels, negative or backlighting is working, and the picture is not working. If the screen is completely black and does not respond to the on, the problem may be in the power supply or motherboard - this is another repair.

If the Xiaomi TV is still warranty, don't disassemble it yourself, and opening the case will void warranty obligations, even if it's not your fault.

How much does it cost to replace the matrix: prices for popular Xiaomi models (2026)

The cost of repair depends on three factors:

1. Model and diagonal of the TV (the larger the screen, the more expensive the matrix).
2. Type of matrix (VA, IPS, OLED – the last most expensive).
3. Parts manufacturer (original vs. non-original).

Below are the current prices for the popular Xiaomi series (indicated the average prices in Russia, including the work of the master). ±15-20%.

Critical information: Replacing the array on OLED- TVs (e.g., Xiaomi OLED Vision) costs 1.5-2 times more than on VA/IPS- panels of the same diagonal. The cost of the original matrix for the 55-inch OLED can reach 80 000-100 000 ₽.

Prices for non-original (usually Chinese-made) matrices are lower by 30-50%, but the image quality and durability of such panels are often worse. For example, for Mi TV 4A 40, the non-original matrix will cost 6 000–9 000 ₽, but the risk of marriage or rapid wear is higher.

Tip: Before buying a spare part, check its compatibility with the matrix model (indicated on the sticker on the back of the TV). For example, for Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55" matrix with V550BJ1-C01 or HSD550PU12-A markers are suitable.

💡

Replacing the matrix on Xiaomi TVs with a diagonal of 55" and above is often economically impractical - the cost of repair can exceed 50% of the price of a new TV.

Where to change the matrix: service center vs. private master

The choice between official service and garage craftsmen is always a compromise between price, quality and warranty, and let's look at the pros and cons of each option.

Official Xiaomi Service Center:

• ✅ Work and parts warranty (usually 6-12 months).
• ✅ Use original matrices (but not always – check!).
• ✅ Diagnosis before repair (sometimes free).
• ❌ Prices are 20-30% higher than those of private owners.
• ❌ Long term (from 5 to 14 days).

Private workshops or masters of advertisements:

• ✅ The price is lower by 30-50% (but the risk of running into poor quality work).
• ✅ Quick repairs (often in 1-2 days)
• ❌ No guarantee or it is symbolic (1-3 months).
• ❌ Risk of installing a used or defective matrix.

Where to find proven masters?

• 🛠️ Yandex.Services or YouDo – there are ratings and reviews.
• 📌 Local forums (e.g., 4pda.to or regional groups on Telegram).
• 🏢 Service centers for repair equipment (not necessarily specializing in Xiaomi).

⚠️ Warning! Fraudsters often offer "cheap original matrices" for the price of the non-original. Check the part before paying: the original must have a hologram, a serial number and a manufacturer logo (e.g., BOE, CSOT, Samsung Display).

Check reviews on independent sites (not just on its website)|Ask if you have a job guarantee and spare parts.|Check if the original matrix is (ask for a photo with the serial number)|Compare prices in 3-4 workshops|Don’t pay 100% in advance – only after diagnosis-->

Replacement of the matrix: is it possible to save money?

If you have experience in electronics repair, you can replace the matrix with Xiaomi yourself, but it's a time-consuming process that requires precision and special tools, and let's see if the game is worth the candle.

What you need:

• 🔧 A set of screwdrivers (including Torx T5/T6 and Phillips #0).
• 🧲 Screen-removal suction cups (2-3 pieces).
• 📏 Plastic mediators (to avoid damaging plumes).
• 🔥 Dryer for softening glue (temperature 60-80)°C).
• 📦 New matrix (check compatibility!)

Step-by-step instruction (briefly):

1. Turn off the TV and remove the back cover.
2. Disconnect all plumes and cables going to the matrix.
3. Heat the screen edge with a hair dryer to soften the glue.
4. Carefully tuck the screen with suction cups and remove it.
5. Install a new matrix, connect the plumes and collect the TV in reverse order.

⚠️ Attention! If you replace the matrix on Xiaomi Mi TV Q1/Q2 models (with quantum dots), you can damage the optical layers that are responsible for color reproduction, in which case the image will become dull or with distorted colors.

How much can you save?

• 💰 At work of the master: 3000-10,000 ₽ (depending on the diagonal).
• 💰 Parts: If you buy a matrix directly from a supplier (e.g., AliExpress or Chinese stores), the price is 10-20% lower.

However, consider the hidden risks:

• 🔌 Damage to plumes or motherboard during disassembly.
• 🎨 Color rendering discrepancy (if the matrix is not original).
• ⚡ Loss of warranty (if the TV is still in warranty service).

When repairs are not advisable: 3 times when it is better to buy a new TV

Sometimes it's so expensive to replace a matrix that it's cheaper to buy a new Xiaomi. Here are three scenarios where repairs are not warranted:

1.The cost of repairs exceeds 60% of the price of a new TV

For example, replacing the matrix with Xiaomi Mi TV P1 65" will cost 45,000-60,000 ₽, while a new TV of the same model can be bought for 70,000-80,000 ₽.

2.TV over 5 years old

Xiaomi’s 2018-2019 models (such as the Mi TV 4 or Mi TV 4A) are outdated: they have weak processors, few HDMI 2.1 ports, and no support for modern formats (Dolby Vision, 120Hz).

3. not only the matrix, but also other components are damaged.

If the power supply, motherboard or T-CON board (matrix controller) burns down along with the screen, the total cost of repairs can exceed 70-80% of the price of a new TV.

⚠️ Attention! Service centers sometimes offer "comprehensive repairs" with multiple parts replaced at once. Before agreeing, ask for a detailed estimate and compare it to the cost of a similar TV on Wildberries or Ozon.

If you do decide to buy a new TV, look for Xiaomi TV A Pro or Redmi Smart Fire TV models – they offer the best price/quality ratio in 2026.

💡

Before buying a new TV, check whether your old model is trade-in. For example, in M.Video or Eldorado, you can get a discount of 5-15% on the new one for renting an old TV.

How to prolong the life of the matrix: prevention of breakdowns

To avoid expensive repairs, follow the simple rules of operation:

• 🛡️ Protect the screen from mechanical damage: Use protective glass (for TVs up to 43) or cover when transporting.
• ⚡ Use network filters: this will save you from surges of voltage that can burn the matrix or power supply.
• 🌡️ Avoid overheating: Do not place the TV near batteries, cookers, or in enclosed niches without ventilation.
• 🕹️ Don’t leave static images for long: on VA- panels, this can cause pixels to burn out (especially for gamers).
• 🧹 Clean the screen regularly: dust and dirt can penetrate the enclosure and damage the contacts.

For models with OLED-matrix (Xiaomi OLED Vision) there are additional recommendations:

• 📺 Avoid maximum brightness for more than 2-3 hours in a row.
• 🎮 Enable Screen Protection mode in the settings if you play video games frequently.
• 🔄 Periodically “update” pixels using the built-in Pixel Refresh function (available from the Settings → Screen menu).

If the TV is not used for a long time (for example, in the country), store it in a dry place at room temperature. condensation and low temperatures can damage both the matrix and electronic components.
