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

Finally bought the HT-RT3, working well. Went to the Croma near by, got it for 1000 less than Amazon/ FK pricing (Paid 19K, while Amazon/FK was 20K). This is a 5.1 channel 600W setup with multiple connectivity options.

Will continue my movie watching tonight of the LOTR series with 5.1 experience tonight - away from the 2.1 Moto sound bar and further away from the built in sound of the MiTV. Just connected the HDMI eARC port of the MiTV to the HDMI ARC port of the HT-RT3 and it worked instantly.
Is the voice quality through the rt3 clear(er) while watching cable or ott ? I have zeroed on the same model but my main requirement is voice clarity. Lg has too much bass in all modes. Even my cheapo Philips bluetooth speaker -12 w- does a much better job than the tv. Keep us all posted.
Also on price tracker the same model was going for 16k a few months back ?
 
Well, DV licensing fee is less than few $ so it's nothing related to money but a strategic decision to push their Proprietary HDR10+ algorithm.
Hdr10+ is dead years ago. HDR10+ is open source and isn't actually free. Samsung does take some money.
Plus Dolby Vision does seem to look substantially better to me.

Mi 75" or LG CX or Sony 8000/9000H or Samsung Frame or whatever the TV is, this Sony HTRT3 is much better than the TV's sounds or a 2.1 stereo soundbar with subwoofer. You will see the difference when you play a helicoptor running clips or when bullets are fired. But a true upgrade to a real home theater will eventually occur in your mind over a few years. Sony's IV300 for 24k is a bit shrieking to my comfort but if Mi TV has the capability, IV300 has dts passthrough which RT3 does not.

is sony htrt3 better than other soundbar with upfiring speakers?
 
Sad to hear this situation, however, its good that this has been detected so early. While you are addressing this issue, what did the engineer commented upon the HDMI ARC issue?
Please insist on replacement and nothing less. My 3rd tv too has one hdmi port that's conked out, and it is the eARC port to which my avr hdmi out was attached through a splitter. I have checked all power connections for power surges, changed all cables to 8k ones and have now sent avr and splitter to Yamaha service to check for any power issues that are causing the hdmi ports to malfunction. This will take time as service centers have just opened up after lockdown. Mi has offered a full refund as replacing another tv (will be the 4th one) is untenable for them. I have said this is not an optimal solution for me as i don't have a competing tv at this price point and will support them for a technical resolution, if offered in a reasonable timeframe. My choices are:
1. Take the refund and go back to old tv that's now doing bedroom duty
2. Press Mi for a resolution (software or hardware/hdmi boards swap). They have asked time till Friday. Hopefully, i should have feedback on my avr and splitter early next week
3. Buy a 65 inch like the One plus u1s and save some dough
Never thought i would have so many issues with my HT setup. Things worked like a charm for 7 years.

What splitter are you using?
 
What splitter are you using?
I am using an Orei 4k 60 Hz 1X2 splitter that i picked up in the US. This one is probably having the most positive reviews in amazon.com.

I don't understand how this is a smart move. From one relatively unknown player of TV's to another, just to save some money!

I feel none of us are thinking this through. For the kind of money you put down on any entertainment device, in this case a TV, you'd be much better of buying one from one the top 3 TV manufacturers instead of being the guinea pig to these new names. Allows a product to sit in the market for a while before spending so much. Let them iron out all the glitches instead of you being at the receiving end. At the end of the day, the down time, unreliability of a product is you pulling your hair out and dealing with incompetent after sales.
Maybe, maybe not as i was looking at a competingl player with the nearest size equivalent. A 75 inch Tv from the big 3 is out of my budget and i probably have to settle for a 65 inches for the same money.

Moved this conversation to https://www.hifivision.com/threads/...0k-budget-mainly-for-movie-tv-watching.85303/

https://www.mi.com/in/mi-qled-tv-75/specsThe so called Atmos soundbars with upfiring speakers are hugely expensive. I heard that Zebronics has one for 17k.

Does Mi TV have Dolby Atmos support?
It does have Atmos pass through via eARC using a proper high speed HDMI cable.

I have been following all the posts as I wanted to decide on buying this 75 inch TV. I am now confused seeing that many are facing problems with the TV especially with audio handshake with AVR's. Probably I would like to wait and see if Mi will resolve all the problem with this TV but seems like the price may further go up. However one thing I like with Mi is their service as it seems they are ready to replace the TV immediately if any fault is found even if it is 3 or 4 times unlike TCL. Push Mi to replace the TV for one more time, maybe things might get resolved with the new TV. Since it is a new TV do not go for swapping the HDMI board as it might sometime lead to audio muting when using it with AVR.
 
I would suggest for the upcoming refresh that's imminent! the only component which is the bottleneck is the processor and board.
You might be aware that this tv cannot do full hdmi2.1 spec due to the processor (Not sure about VRR).
Once the process matures or mediatek or others come up with cheaper processor which can handle them, MI will revise the model with a new motherboard. That should help in solving the related issues as well.
Will the refresh happen? Certainly. When it will happen? depends on lots of external factors, my wild guess in 6-12 months.
If you guys can hold on till then, the market will certainly be different.

They will not revise this model. They will get sued for doing so. Maybe newer model will have better processors but can have inferior panels which can be prone to ghosting. It all depends upon the feedback this 75' gives to Mi. I don't think gaming on 75 is good idea, I have ps5 and I don't play on 75 because it's tiring to my eyes.
If you want to game on a TV, I would advice only LG and Samsung. Gaming is really difficult to master as local dimming algos need to work really nicely else you end up with lost details and washed out gaming experience. Plus gaming mode of Lg and Samsung are way better. This MI QLED 75 has one very strong point is that it's panel is absolutely flagship level ( between Q80t and q90t) and if you can possibly calibrate it nicely, you end up with a great movie viewing experience. Plus atleast my panel hits around 1200 nits too. ( Already shared).

I agree ....Mi service so far has been very good. They have been patient to hear out problems , ensured service engineer turn up quickly and also acknowledge issues if any without dilly dallying or trying to put up excuses.
