After 4 months, I'm now trying to return my TV to the retailer. The near endless amount of software issues and bugs make it nearly unusable .... plus, I've just started to notice some purple patches appear on a certain area of the screen - indicating either a panel or local dimming issue.

Damn, Xiaomi still hasn't improved QC.
What is best option to play Hotstar 4K - Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K -->> Mi TV QLED 75 or directly through Mi TV 75 Hotstar app?
Fire TV Stick is connected to TV HDMI and audio is through ARC (non-4K, non-eARC AVR).

I guess better option would be through Fire TV 4K Stick. I am playing hotstar through Apple TV 4K and Somehow I find the experience better compared to playing it directly through Mi tv. BTW, I also have my AVR sitting between MI tv and Apple tv.
Sorry to hear about the troubles with your Sony panel. The only TV that i have had that has worked flawlessly till date is the Sony W800 that i got way way back in 2012. Its picture quality (barring brightness which is more or less at the same level as OLED panels) is still very competent nearly 10 years later and i just hope the new X9500G i recently purchased hasn't lost any of the legendary Sony quality and robustness. Having said that, i was both rudely shocked and pleasantly surprised by my experience with MI- rude shock coming in the way of my MI TV 4X 65 giving up on me twice within two years which was thankfully within the warranty period so no expense there; the pleasant surprise being that MI has replaced the panel promptly on both occassions. In fact, the first time my TV conked off, they replaced it with an entirely new TV within 2 days of having raised the complaint. The second time, they replaced the panel which took 4 days from having raised the complaint. In fact, my experience with their service centers for mi phones has also been rather positive with resolutions offered within the same day replacement of parts. Considering the presence they have in India and now globally, i'll be surprised if they let their customer experience falter much. Who knows, It could very well be the Sony of tomorrow.

9500G is a gem. A product of extremely well crafted masterpiece grade. Its father 9400D/E and before that it's grandfather 9300E were also unmatched full array beasts and why I had the frame dimming model, edgelit but flush hanging piece of portrait 9300D, less blooming beauty with 2000 nits brightness, and great deep contrast could pass for OLEDs.
Sony vintage is in 9x00 series. Anything below are like just plain ordinary.
Tried Hotstar 4k contents on Fire TV Stick 4K but got this error:
"Playback Error
Error playing this content due to media services being unavailable on your device. Please restart your device and try again. (PL-1100)"
Then I used Mi TV hotstar app and it works great.
I used to get this error on Nvidea Shield when auto-refresh rate switching is enabled.

Strange. Try raising this issue with hotstar. Also see if this of some help:-
Thanks.
There is some issue with Fire TV Stick also so can not say the problem is with hotstar with 100% confidence.
In Fire TV Stick, If I select video resolution "Auto", I don't get 4K in any app including youtube (maximun available resolution is 1080p).
If I select 2160p 60 or 50 Hz, I get 4k in youtube and Amazon Prime but Hotstar gives me above error.
Since Hotstar is working fine in 4K in Mi TV app, I have left experimenting.

I've compared both and the 75" is significantly bigger and hence better. If we can get a decently priced 85" I'd buy that too. For TVs, definitely "bigger is better".
Same answer as above.
If the table top is completely horizontal, the TV should be completely vertical. Anything other than that is a call to the service center.
The SD 480p content wont look pretty, but Tata Sky HD content or even 720p upscaled looks very smooth and nice.

Their customer service is definitely great. However; there is little use if they replace one lemon with another lemon. At the end of the day, that's still frustration for you as the problem isn't being sorted. They have a good track records with phones. I have less confidence with consumer durables or AV. As they buy parts from all over, assemble and sell them to us. There is little know-how for fixing or identifying issues at a component level. I am not sure to what degree they trace back issues to the component manufacturer. This is a bit easier with the more established players as they have been in the business for long and there is a process in place to go about it.
That's where brand premium comes in. One needs to decide whether they want peace of mind or go with a coin flip. With Mi stuff, it's definitely a coin flip. Two failures within a span of two years is pretty atrocious. Not that the bigger brands are immune to it but the frequency is a lot lesser, at least in my experience. Thankfully they've done after sales right while other brands budget brands skimp. Definitely a necessity but also worthwhile to go for the extended warranty with them.

Ended up getting a LG C1 - it's light years ahead of the Xiaomi in every single aspect.
