Yes I meant gigabit. I think that should be pretty obvious to someone like yourself.
You need to go beyond a cheap router to get good wireless and wired performance. Not necessarily for this application. Anything that involves moving heaps of data reliably.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Anything that just says it's 802.11AC doesn't mean it can do that. In fact, the best selling ones on Amazon can't.

Not to mention that those cheapo AC routers usually either have all 100Mbps ports or just 1000M WAN and 100M LAN ports. In either case you won't be able to do wired networking over 100 Mbps.

You are wrong about USB 3.0 not being present on TV's.
My 3 year old Sony has a usb 3.0 terminal. I imagine this is more common place today

Quite the opposite. My older B7 OLED had a USB 3.0 port, while the newer LG OLEDs all have USB 2.0. TV manufacturers are famous for saving literal paisas on 2 lakh TVs where they can.

You can't even buy USB 2 and 100M ethernet devices today, even the $2 ones on AliExpress are gigabit. Yet somehow these manufacturers find them and put them on premium TVs.
 
Just got the Q1 75" few days ago, overall the picture quality looks really good, but sometimes dull (probably calibration issues).

The most annoying thing for me for now is how sluggish the UI is while playing some 4K content, it sometimes reaches a point where even adjusting the volume takes a few whole seconds to respond.
Also noticed occasional frame drops / stutter while playing 4K 60FPS on Youtube, which I think is unacceptable for this kind of TV.

Is there any promised software update that should make things better in this regard?
Some other things that bugs me:
  • There is no quick way to get into the picture / sound settings (Need to go through: Press 'set' button -> go to "Device Preferences" -> "Picture" / "Sound"), only when viewing HDMI source with CEC off, I can press the center circle to get the quick menu, but it doesn't work from all the apps (Netflix, Youtube, etc.)
  • CEC needs to be turned off in order to set HDMI 2.1
  • Not being able to output to TV speakers and S/PDIF at the same time

Are there any recommended picture settings for this TV?
Adaptive luma control - better kept "on" or "off"?
Local contrast control - "on" or "off"?

* PatchWall is not available in my country if it makes any difference

Keeping the "mi" button pressed for a couple of seconds brings up the picture/sound/etc settings.

It has more to do with our homes that the router itself actually. These routers are developed for the western markets mostly where few homes have thick concrete walls. The only solution is to go either mesh or place individual routers at strategic locations so you don't loose potential bandwith as distance increases or go wired ethernet where possible. Difficult if you live in a rental. If its your own place, you can do as you please.

You don't have to buy a 30K INR router for good performance. Something like a Eero or any good mesh solution will cover your basis. Granted these are not cheap but you do get a working solution compared to cheap or budget product that can only do so much. For 99% folks, this "cheap" router will work.

I am not sure what your idea of cheap AC routers are. I guess its possible to get fast wifi and gigabit across all ports for ~@5000 INR. Anything less than this is just another router on the shelf.

Considering that you can now buy and return products from places like Amazon, you can try a few products.

I have X2700H and am not faciing any issue (do see my earlier posts about Yamaha AVR and subsequent upgrade to Denon)

Why don't you get the HDMI2 fixed on TV?
Click to expand...
Yes, I am still awaiting Xiaomi to provide a solution for the defunct port. What hdmi cables are you using?
On a side note, things have stabilized since the past two days for me. I am using an Amazon basics fibre optic hdmi cable for hdmi out (supports 4k 60hz), forced hdcp setting under the Denon menu to 2.3 and turned off hdmi passthrough. The combination of actions seem to be working. The minute i swap hdmi out with new 8k cables, the hdmi black screen problem recurs. This with both new cables, so i am a bit sceptical in assuming cables are the issue. Also, all components work perfectly when plugged directly into the working hdmi ports on tv the tv.

You can get mesh with wireless backhaul. I live in a >100-year-old home with concrete walls 1.5 feet thick (no kidding) and even then I get good networking with my mesh solution across the huge house.

These are anything but cheap. Look at the most sold routers on Amazon, most of them will be <2000. And those are the 'good' 802.11AC ones.

And most people use the free router that their ISP gives them, which will mostly be worth ₹500 or lesser, some of them even lacking 5GHz.

₹5000 is not cheap. If you ask 100 people what they consider expensive for a router, 90 will say ₹2000.

You can return very, very few products on Amazon/Flipkart India. 99% of the products can just be replaced, not returned. It's fine if you get a faulty unit, but if you get a badly designed product, all they can do is replace it with another one of the same.

@neogen I have a strange problem downloaded a Dolby Vision movie and but not able to get Dolby Vision in Kodi. What's the issue?
Click to expand...
Are you running the Kodi on the TV? or on NSTV or on some other devices? Which version of Kodi you are using?
I am using Kodi 19 on my Shield TV 2019 and works fine.

Are you able to play Dolby vision from shield tv 2019 using kodi? I have shield 2019 pro and using kodi if I play Dolby demo disk, it only plays it on HDR. Please respond to this query in the below thread and we will continue the conversation

Nvidia Shield Tv- Owners Thread!!

What is your first hand experience with apple tv+ on shield? I felt atmos is much better than Netflix. +1 I saw "Greyhound" in Apple TV+ on shield. I too agree that i found the atmos sound better in ATV+

Unfortunately, I haven't used Kodi. I just use Plex, which works just fine with Dolby Vision.

Even on plesk, native video player and Kodi 19.1 all showing only HDR and the movie is a remux of BR which is in Dolby Vision don't know why it's not running in Dolby Vision.

Are you running on native Plex app or using an external box? Plex will show the movie as HDR only due to licensing restrictions but will pass through the Dolby Vision metadata to the TV.

In addition to this:

  • I want to connect an external hard drive permenantly to the TV (to use with Kodi) but every time I turn on the TV it shows a message that a new device has been connected, can this be disabled?
  • Today I went to watch some 4K content on Youtube and other apps and at some point started getting a lot of frame drops which makes the viewing impossible. I think it might have something to do with the TV overheating and the SOC dropping it's performance, but I'm not sure how I can test if that's the case.
Overall the main issue with the TV is the poor CPU performance, I really hope this gets fixed with SW update.

Same issues (see previous posts). I'd recommend reaching out to Xiaomi so that they know a number of people have these issues - then we might see them fixed quicker!
