Xiaomi to launch Mi TV Q1 75" on 23rd March - QLED, 192 Zones, 120Hz

[hell_storm2004]

I have this TV for about 6 months now. I have no complaints about the picture quality and all

Only two things I can say:
1. The processor is not up to par.
2. Bright room, not good. This doesn't hurt me, coz i like staying in the dark even during the day. Kinda like a bat!


Reading comparisons between a G1 and the Q1, just boggles my mind. For the same screen size, a TV that is almost Rs. 300,000, to one that is less than half the cost. It isn't even a comparison.

It isn't. The G1 is the better TV overall, no doubt. But does it do everything better than the Mi? No!

Speaking about a 3,00,000 TV that does everything better than the Mi 4X - enter the Sony X95G.

Before everybody's heads start exploding, let me clarify that I'm not saying the X95G is a better TV than the LG G1. The G1 does a lot of things better than the Sony. But the Sony trumps the Mi in every single aspect while the G1 does not.

Not sure what the point you are trying to make. To be honest, I am confused by the post.

The G1 beats Q1 in every single thing. The brightness might be a point. But that is OLED vs QLED debate. Not a G1 vs Q1 thing.

The point was that the G1 wasn’t superior to the Mi in every single respect. I thought it was context enough when i quoted steve’s post.

Not really… not all LCDs are brighter than OLEDs. Again, the Sony A90j can go brighter than the Q1 despite being an OLED. it was a TV to TV comparison.

My Sony 9300D, a 3D TV with brightness unmatched by any other LCD model of Sony with local (frame dimming, not full array) dimming and excellent contrast for a brief day or few hours felt better than the CX. But on varying content observation, the old demons of lcd TV's limitations started becoming visible. Also let's not forget light emisive technologies are generally bleeding/blooming/vignetting-free but does not crush shadows and they need niche recipient eyes that can admire the beauty of infinite contrast in dim setting. Q1 is an entry level QLED FALD and can be bright and may check a few boxes. However Mi is a caveat emptor brand. If the same were to be from the big three we may atleast hold them for comparison. This is not worthy of comparison with flagship models of other bigger brands.

Berween LG C1 and Sony AF8 oleds that I have, UI snappiness actually goes to C1. AF8 is actually noticially slow comparitively and android tv UI lags miserably. There was a chip upgrade with 'g' versions but I will be surprised if it feels the C1 feel laggy.(kudos to that, it's a feat)
LG processor is inferior though for less than 4k content. Sony reminds you of that every single day.

I thought you have the CX 55 and A8H65 or is it a typo ?

Sony A8F only. LG is a CX, not C1..

A8H is much faster I gather. Starting A8G itself sony started doing optimizations for android tv. Newer tvs with full bluetooth remote also helps.

A8F does not even have a bluetooth remote. IR remote is pretty slow for navigation etc. Uses bluetooth only for voice commands, rest is all IR.

Hi All,
I'm a happy owner of a Xiaomi Q1 75, for 2 days. Just started to read through the forum, but also some quick questions - maybe someone quicker:
Was there any SW update on this TV so far? My version (Kernel) is 4.19.79+ 14-MAR. Is this the latest one?
Is there a built in media player, I could use to play content from my Synology NAS over the LAN? The pre-installed "Media Player" works with files on USB, I think. Any suggested Media Player, which is working well with this TV? Thanks!

You could use PLEX or Emby for local files.
My set, (bought in October) also has the 14-MAR. It says that's the latest whenever I try to search manually.

Use Plex and point your network storage to the server. It's intuitive, headache-free and does a stellar job out of the box.

Cheers

For NAS, Plex. If you are just plugging in a USB, VLC does everything you need.

Yeah there was a software update. The Google interface changed completely i think last week. I don't normally notice when it changes, coz most of the time I spend on Fire TV.

Na... FALDs will always give higher peak brightness than top line OLEDs. It's just not comparable. And just brightness is not the only thing, otherwise we just would have been staring at the sun.

As far as Q1 and G1 is concerned, the G1 trumps the Q1 in everything. It's not even a contest. Having used both, if I was as rich as my uncle, I wouldn't even have bothered about the Q1. But then again, burn in was a real pain point for me coz of the content I watch.

You've made a rather careless statement I'm afraid. Lets not state anything that comes to our mind unless its an opinion and ergo, subjective.

While this forum is a place to exchange ideas and information, its a good habit to fact check while posting as other people,FMs as well as guests, rely upon them.

Brightness is objective and measurable. People have done the tests and the results are available across a number of websites.

And just brightness is not the only thing, otherwise we just would have been staring at the sun.

Then I guess since my preferred drink of choice for all occasions is beer, i must be meandering around barley/wheat fields all day long.

You seem to be missing the point again. T0 clarify, I said the G1 is not better than the Mi in every single respect.

A bit of an ambiguous statement. Looks like you're undecided yourself. While you value the strengths of an OLED far more over that of LCDs and therefore, would go for one if you had the funds, you've been candid in admitting that its not the best TV for you, or for that matter and really what is in issue - better than the Q1 considering your use case scenario.

Does Mi support 3D viewing? Just curious.

Mine still shows December.. Don't know how they update the firmware?

I recently checked out the LG C8 and was quite surprised that the UI was much snappier than the G1, although the C8 did use an older version of the UI.

I have a plex server running on a shield 2017, I use plex client on Q1, it handles all the formats pretty well. My LG soundbar only supports ARC(not EARC), so TrueHD and DTS-MA audio streams are transcoded. If I am downloading DV content, I make sure the audio is not TrueHD/DTS-MA. The shield can play HDR10 with TrueHD/DTS-MA fine with passthrough. I am planning to get a shield-pro 2019 or CCwGTV.
Kodi is also working fine on TV, but I prefer plex.
