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

O&B HCA300 Power Amplifier
Ended up buying a Blu-ray player for Mi Q1 since I watch movies a lot.
It's ubp-x800m2 by Sony. Since blu ray player is still missing in this 84 page long thread, let's do this too.
For the price, 20k for the blu ray player and 13k for xm3 which I wanted for so long.

A simple but not quite cost effective solution is to change the AVR and move to something which works with this TV. Else the only workaround that works is to toggle input once when you start the TV / Receiver.

If you consider the AVR replacement as solution to address the ARC issue, then its a pretty bad idea IMHO. My motivation to change the AVR got accelerated due to this issue, though prime reason was to go for ATMOS and have a relatively decent AVR to power my recently upgraded speakers.

I would thanks MI 75 for creating an opportunity to upgrade the entire chain in an extremely cost effective way. Next in line is to cut the Firestick 4K from the chain.

I have the ubp-x800 that has been modified for all region playback. It doesn't support DV though.

What would happen if I play a disc that has DV? Would it play in SDR or fallback to HDR without DV.

Should not be able to play. Not even SDR, some weird looking purple green image. X800m2 supports DV though.
But if you play DV on Samsung, it pushes it to Hdr10+ so I think we need to support dynamic metadata.

I have a Yamaha RX V375 and let me tell you there is not much you can do complaining to Mi. Had it been a universal issue with any AVR or ARC enabled soundbar , Mi would have tried a fix. But the fact that many FMs have confirmed that their old ARC enabled Reciever and soundbar are working perfectly fine gives Mi an escape path

A simple but not quite cost effective solution is to change the AVR and move to something which works with this TV. Else the only workaround that works is to toggle input once when you start the TV / Reciever.

For me I have found the FS to be least problematic and ARC seems to be working fine (after the initial input toggle ). No drop in audio , no delay etc. Only weird thing that happens is the amp always shows DD+ irrespective of the nature of source (stereo or DD).

As you mentioned ,I am finding it difficult to part with my fantastic Yamaha AVR which has worked flawlessly till date. How much has Yamaha quoted for the board replacement. Did you check if it can done locally . I would be keen to know on any progress that you make in this regard.

17k for motherboard replacement. On your FS attached to AVR showing DD+, that's because the audio option in FS4K is probably set to best available. All non-dd + audio in FS4k is upconverted to dd+. This bleeds the vocals from center channel to L and R channels also, almost creating a 5 channel stereo effect. DD+ content is passed straight through and vocals are anchored to the center speaker as expected. There is no passthrough audio option in FS4k unlike the normal Firestick. This is a ghastly oversight on the part of Amazon.

How did you get the Wh-1000XM3 for 13k?

Dubai during prime day sale. In India it was 17k some days ago.

It's actually 16250 right now as well with SBI cards on Amazon. I already own one since 3 years(will probably last 5 more), was just curious about the price. If it was available at 13k right now, I'd get another one for a gift!

You are lucky one with credit card.

Try to go for Infinia when you do get one. I got the Diners Club Black 4 years ago because it was the better card at the time, but they slowly degraded the card to be worse than Infinia now. Earlier DCB had a limit of 50k points per month with a reward rate of 33%, with Infinia on 25k. Now the reward rate is 16.5/33% depending on the offer but the limit is only 7.5k per month on DCB and 15k on Infinia.

For example, right now everything on Amazon is at a 33% reward rate on top HDFC cards and if you spend over 50k, the reward rate is 50%! The only problem is that the total reward is limited to 17.5k on DCB and 30k on Infinia, and once you get it, the whole month's points quota is done and you go back to the usual 3.3%(still better than most cards).

True, but there is a fundamental user experience problem with HDFC. One has to go through the smartbuy website before placing the order on Amazon to ensure 5x multiplier. You only realise that you missed once you receive such SMSs. This is really frustrating.

I just never buy anything without going to smartbuy lol. After a couple times, it becomes habitual. Also you can cancel that order and order again using smartbuy.

Hdfc credit cards are good just for their priority pass. The points system is too cumbersome and i am not bothered.
Instead get a idfc card with free golf lessons. Too much tv watching going on.
 
Can someone please share ideal calibration settings for different picture modes for this tv. For now I have just changed the picture mode to movie from standard. Not sure if this is ideal for this tv.
