But it begs the question, can Xiaomi not produce game changing products anymore?\nPros\n+\nSlim, attractive design\n+\nExcellent value for money\n+\nAmple port support\n+\nPlays 4K at 60Hz natively\nCons\n-\nLacks screen uniformity\n-\nContrast ratio could be better\n-\nReflective screen\nWhy you can trust TechRadar\nWe spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you're buying the best.\nFind out more about how we test.\nXiaomi's Mi TVs are TVs in name only. Much like LeEco's strategy before it, the television is a content delivery mechanism for the company. In fact, Xiaomi has often cited the lack of content partnerships as the primary reason for not bringing these TVs to India. But they're here now, starting with the Mi TV 4. So, Xiaomi must think it's ready.\nAt the time of writing this, I've used the Mi TV 4 for under a week. While it is an interesting device indeed, it's part of what I often call the \"new Xiaomi\", one that doesn't really dazzle anymore. It still makes good products, but that wow factor is truly gone. The Mi TV will be competitive, but it won't be life changing.\nThat Red Dot award...\nYes, this is the television that won the Red Dot Award some time back. It's as slim as the slimmest TVs on the market. At 4.9mm, it's basically just a screen, but it thickens near the bottom to fit the ports and internal architecture.\nLatest Videos From TechRadar\nWhile it is obviously meant to be wall mounted, you do get a stand with this one. The frame is slim so that the screen feels all the more impactful. And it all works, just not in a premium,\nSony\nBravia A1 kind of way.\nSimply put, the Mi TV 4 is premium for its price. But just like the erstwhile LeEco televisions, it looks better in pictures. \nIn short, while you won't be disappointed with the design, but you're not going to be blown away either.\nPorts\nWith three HDMI and USB ports each, the Mi TV provides ample connectivity options. You also get an ethernet port, just in case the WiFi wasn't working for you. While there's ample port support here, the placement is somewhat problematic.\nGet daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox\nSign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.\nThe HDMI and USB ports lie in a socket on the back of the TV, facing outward. This can easily get in the way of various HDMI cables and devices. For instance, my Fire TV Stick can't be connected to any of these ports, because there's just not enough space. Even using a connector, I had to struggle to get the right fit. While I was able to connect the Xbox One without a connector, it still took some work.\nIt's not really a big issue, but a slight misstep that some may not like. For set-top-boxes and consoles that don't need to be disconnected often, it's a one time hassle. It is important for devices like the Chromecast etc. I often saw horizontal lines while playing content from the FireTV Stick, which I fixed by reconnecting it.\nWatching content on the Mi TV...\nAs mentioned earlier, Xiaomi's televisions are content delivery systems. In essence, the TV is just another screen for the company to extend its ecosystem. In India though, it's just like any other television. The content offerings here aren't owned by Xiaomi, so it's unlikely that the company is making a lot of money from them. At least not unless it sells enough of these TVs.\nThe TV runs on Xiaomi's PatchWall user interface, which serves content based on what you watch. From the offset, you will see content offerings from Sony Liv, Viu, Voot and Hungama on the home screen. Xiaomi actually has quite a few content partnerships here actually, but none that actually dazzle.\nYou see, Hungama, Voot, Viu and even Sony Liv, do not deliver the quality of content you want from these TVs. While you do get HD and 1080p content from them, Netflix, Prime Video and Hotstar are quite noticeably better, not just in terms of resolution, but in other ways too, including content selection.\nFor the record, Xiaomi says Hotstar and Prime Video will be added soon. Yet, the TV doesn't have an app store, so you won't be able to install additional apps, without some tinkering. If there was a TV for the tinkering enthusiasts, this is the one.\nBut content offerings aside, my pet peeve here is the interface itself. It looks unfinished, unattractive and frankly, shoddy. Thumbnail images are low resolution, while fonts lack styling. Yes, there are no bugs or lags to speak of, but the UI just doesn't feel like Xiaomi put time into it. Compared to MiUI, this just feels like an unfinished product and ruins the overall experience.\nWhy does this matter?\nAm I nitpicking? Yes, I certainly am. But the UI is integral to a smart TV, much more than it is in phones. The TV is a visual experience, from top to bottom. If it doesn't look good, it doesn't feel good. Maybe that's just me, but I do expect more from Xiaomi.\nAdmittedly, it's an incredibly fast UI, but that's about all there is to it. \nPicture Quality\nWhen I saw the original Mi TV, I was truly dazzled. Again, this is probably just me, but I do expect Xiaomi's devices to be closer to flagship class. \nIn that respect, the Mi TV is far behind offerings from Sony,\nLG\nor\nSamsung\n. To be clear, it's still a great TV for the price, I'm just warning you against setting your expectations too high.\nColours and contrast on the Mi TV 4 are decent. If you're upgrading from cheaper offerings from Vu etc, you will actually see a fair difference here. Yet, it's nothing like the Samsung QLEDs and a far stretch from\nOLED\nTVs from Sony and LG.\nI tweaked the settings a bit, but could often see clouding on the screen. Screen uniformity is not the Mi TV 4's forte and you can't unsee this if you've spotted it once. \nThe Mi TV produces decent black levels, but it's seriously hampered by clouding. The\nPanasonic\nShinobi Pro series produces better contrast and colours, though they support 1080p resolution only.\nFor the uninitiated, clouding is the effect where you see brighter patches on parts of the screen. The screen here is also reflective, meaning it works best in dark rooms. You will see a noticeable difference in picture quality in brightly lit rooms, or if there's even a little natural light falling on the screen.\nOverall, though I was personally expecting more, the Mi TV 4 is certainly a good TV. If Xiaomi can sell this anywhere around the Rs 60,000 mark, it's still a competitive offering.\n4K\nHDR\nTVs in India are usually sold at over Rs 1 lakh, so the value proposition would be tough to ignore.\nAudio Quality\nFor small to medium-sized rooms, the Mi TV 4 is quite enough. Audio isn’t very detailed, but it works for watching TV in general. Like most TVs in India, it does the job for watching movies or videos, but if your ears are better tuned, you may want to add speakers or a home theatre unit. \nYou can’t really tune the audio quality much. The TV supports Dolby audio, but the settings don’t make a big difference here. The “voice enhance” option makes voices louder, while the surround option doesn’t seem to make a big difference. There is an equaliser though, which can be handy.\nRemote and Usability\nThe best smart TVs always try to do everything with a single remote and so does the Mi TV 4. However, here again, I go back to the fact that this is an unfinished system.\nFor instance, the remote can control my FireTV Stick for basic navigation, but there's no way to pause a video on Hotstar. And pressing the \"up\" button somehow brings up the resolution and subtitle options. Navigation is fine as long as I'm scrolling through content, but the deeper applications are often missing.\nXiaomi's looks and feels the same as\nAmazon\n's FireTV remote, but it has a volume controller too. It connects to the TV via Bluetooth, so you can use it without actually pointing to the TV.\nIf you're buying this TV, you should buy a couple of AAA batteries beforehand. Interestingly, Xiaomi doesn't bundle batteries with this television.\nVerdict\nUpdate: At the time of writing this, I didn't have the price of the Mi TV. Now that we do, it's value proposition goes up incrementally. At Rs 39,999, this is without a doubt one of the most value for money offerings out there.\nTCL\n's Android TVs offer better picture quality in some ways, but without content support. The Mi TV is for those who don't want to use set top boxes.\nSimply put, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is a good TV for the price. Yet, it's sad to see that Xiaomi is just one amongst many now. The Mi TV 4 doesn't dazzle, which is not a problem, as long as you keep your expectations in check.\nThat said, in the larger scheme of things, it's a value for money television, which is what matters.\nPrasid Banerjee\nPrasid Banerjee is the Editor-In-Chief at TechRadar India.

[Find out more about how we test.](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/how-we-test)\n\nXiaomi's Mi TVs are TVs in name only. Much like LeEco's strategy before it, the television is a content delivery mechanism for the company. In fact, Xiaomi has often cited the lack of content partnerships as the primary reason for not bringing these TVs to India. But they're here now, starting with the Mi TV 4. So, Xiaomi must think it's ready.\n\nAt the time of writing this, I've used the Mi TV 4 for under a week. While it is an interesting device indeed, it's part of what I often call the \"new Xiaomi\", one that doesn't really dazzle anymore. It still makes good products, but that wow factor is truly gone. The Mi TV will be competitive, but it won't be life changing.\n\n## That Red Dot award...\nYes, this is the television that won the Red Dot Award some time back. It's as slim as the slimmest TVs on the market. At 4.9mm, it's basically just a screen, but it thickens near the bottom to fit the ports and internal architecture.\n\nLatest Videos From TechRadar\n\nWhile it is obviously meant to be wall mounted, you do get a stand with this one. The frame is slim so that the screen feels all the more impactful. And it all works, just not in a premium, [Sony](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/sony) Bravia A1 kind of way.\n\nSimply put, the Mi TV 4 is premium for its price. But just like the erstwhile LeEco televisions, it looks better in pictures.\n\nIn short, while you won't be disappointed with the design, but you're not going to be blown away either.\n\n## Ports\n![](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/my7yKwEHDMXDyJe5ZwmKw4.jpg)\n\nWith three HDMI and USB ports each, the Mi TV provides ample connectivity options. You also get an ethernet port, just in case the WiFi wasn't working for you. While there's ample port support here, the placement is somewhat problematic.\n\nGet daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox\n\nSign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.\n\nBy signing up, you agree to our [Terms of services](https:\\\/\\\/futureplc.com\\\/terms-conditions\\\/)  and acknowledge that you have read our [Privacy Notice](https:\\\/\\\/futureplc.com\\\/privacy-policy\\\/). You also agree to receive marketing emails from us that may include promotions from our trusted partners and sponsors, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.\n\nThe HDMI and USB ports lie in a socket on the back of the TV, facing outward. This can easily get in the way of various HDMI cables and devices. For instance, my Fire TV Stick can't be connected to any of these ports, because there's just not enough space. Even using a connector, I had to struggle to get the right fit. While I was able to connect the Xbox One without a connector, it still took some work.\n\nIt's not really a big issue, but a slight misstep that some may not like. For set-top-boxes and consoles that don't need to be disconnected often, it's a one time hassle. It is important for devices like the Chromecast etc. I often saw horizontal lines while playing content from the FireTV Stick, which I fixed by reconnecting it.\n\n## Watching content on the Mi TV...\n![](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CufVTugBxChWTB7xpm5vqC.jpg)\n\nAs mentioned earlier, Xiaomi's televisions are content delivery systems. In essence, the TV is just another screen for the company to extend its ecosystem. In India though, it's just like any other television. The content offerings here aren't owned by Xiaomi, so it's unlikely that the company is making a lot of money from them. At least not unless it sells enough of these TVs.\n\nThe TV runs on Xiaomi's PatchWall user interface, which serves content based on what you watch. From the offset, you will see content offerings from Sony Liv, Viu, Voot and Hungama on the home screen. Xiaomi actually has quite a few content partnerships here actually, but none that actually dazzle.\n\nYou see, Hungama, Voot, Viu and even Sony Liv, do not deliver the quality of content you want from these TVs. While you do get HD and 1080p content from them, Netflix, Prime Video and Hotstar are quite noticeably better, not just in terms of resolution, but in other ways too, including content selection.\n\nFor the record, Xiaomi says Hotstar and Prime Video will be added soon. Yet, the TV doesn't have an app store, so you won't be able to install additional apps, without some tinkering. If there was a TV for the tinkering enthusiasts, this is the one.\n\nBut content offerings aside, my pet peeve here is the interface itself. It looks unfinished, unattractive and frankly, shoddy. Thumbnail images are low resolution, while fonts lack styling. Yes, there are no bugs or lags to speak of, but the UI just doesn't feel like Xiaomi put time into it. Compared to MiUI, this just feels like an unfinished product and ruins the overall experience.\n\n## Why does this matter?\nAm I nitpicking? Yes, I certainly am. But the UI is integral to a smart TV, much more than it is in phones. The TV is a visual experience, from top to bottom. If it doesn't look good, it doesn't feel good. Maybe that's just me, but I do expect more from Xiaomi.\n\nAdmittedly, it's an incredibly fast UI, but that's about all there is to it.\n\n## Picture Quality\nWhen I saw the original Mi TV, I was truly dazzled. Again, this is probably just me, but I do expect Xiaomi's devices to be closer to flagship class.\n\nIn that respect, the Mi TV is far behind offerings from Sony, [LG](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/lg) or [Samsung](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/samsung). To be clear, it's still a great TV for the price, I'm just warning you against setting your expectations too high.\n\nColours and contrast on the Mi TV 4 are decent. If you're upgrading from cheaper offerings from Vu etc, you will actually see a fair difference here. Yet, it's nothing like the Samsung QLEDs and a far stretch from [OLED](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/oled) TVs from Sony and LG.\n\nI tweaked the settings a bit, but could often see clouding on the screen. Screen uniformity is not the Mi TV 4's forte and you can't unsee this if you've spotted it once.\n\nThe Mi TV produces decent black levels, but it's seriously hampered by clouding. The [Panasonic](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/panasonic) Shinobi Pro series produces better contrast and colours, though they support 1080p resolution only.\n\nFor the uninitiated, clouding is the effect where you see brighter patches on parts of the screen. The screen here is also reflective, meaning it works best in dark rooms. You will see a noticeable difference in picture quality in brightly lit rooms, or if there's even a little natural light falling on the screen.\n\nOverall, though I was personally expecting more, the Mi TV 4 is certainly a good TV. If Xiaomi can sell this anywhere around the Rs 60,000 mark, it's still a competitive offering. [4K](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/4k) [HDR](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/hdr) TVs in India are usually sold at over Rs 1 lakh, so the value proposition would be tough to ignore.\n\n## Audio Quality\nFor small to medium-sized rooms, the Mi TV 4 is quite enough. Audio isn’t very detailed, but it works for watching TV in general. Like most TVs in India, it does the job for watching movies or videos, but if your ears are better tuned, you may want to add speakers or a home theatre unit.\n\nYou can’t really tune the audio quality much. The TV supports Dolby audio, but the settings don’t make a big difference here. The “voice enhance” option makes voices louder, while the surround option doesn’t seem to make a big difference. There is an equaliser though, which can be handy.\n\n## Remote and Usability\n![](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NmA96XcuRCcSnHdMRYYbUM.jpg)\n\nThe best smart TVs always try to do everything with a single remote and so does the Mi TV 4. However, here again, I go back to the fact that this is an unfinished system.\n\nFor instance, the remote can control my FireTV Stick for basic navigation, but there's no way to pause a video on Hotstar. And pressing the \"up\" button somehow brings up the resolution and subtitle options. Navigation is fine as long as I'm scrolling through content, but the deeper applications are often missing.\n\nXiaomi's looks and feels the same as [Amazon](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/amazon)'s FireTV remote, but it has a volume controller too. It connects to the TV via Bluetooth, so you can use it without actually pointing to the TV.\n\nIf you're buying this TV, you should buy a couple of AAA batteries beforehand. Interestingly, Xiaomi doesn't bundle batteries with this television.\n\n## Verdict\n*Update: At the time of writing this, I didn't have the price of the Mi TV. Now that we do, it's value proposition goes up incrementally. At Rs 39,999, this is without a doubt one of the most value for money offerings out there. [TCL](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/tcl)'s Android TVs offer better picture quality in some ways, but without content support. The Mi TV is for those who don't want to use set top boxes.*\n\nSimply put, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is a good TV for the price. Yet, it's sad to see that Xiaomi is just one amongst many now. The Mi TV 4 doesn't dazzle, which is not a problem, as long as you keep your expectations in check.\n\nThat said, in the larger scheme of things, it's a value for money television, which is what matters.\n\n![Prasid Banerjee](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kKcCBbCwPG7EADEY2mZQWf.png)\n\n[Prasid Banerjee](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/author\/prasid-banerjee)\n\nSocial Links Navigation\n\nPrasid Banerjee is the Editor-In-Chief at TechRadar India.

[Find out more about how we test.](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/how-we-test)\n\nXiaomi's Mi TVs are TVs in name only. Much like LeEco's strategy before it, the television is a content delivery mechanism for the company. In fact, Xiaomi has often cited the lack of content partnerships as the primary reason for not bringing these TVs to India. But they're here now, starting with the Mi TV 4. So, Xiaomi must think it's ready.\n\nAt the time of writing this, I've used the Mi TV 4 for under a week. While it is an interesting device indeed, it's part of what I often call the \"new Xiaomi\", one that doesn't really dazzle anymore. It still makes good products, but that wow factor is truly gone. The Mi TV will be competitive, but it won't be life changing.\n\n## That Red Dot award...\nYes, this is the television that won the Red Dot Award some time back. It's as slim as the slimmest TVs on the market. At 4.9mm, it's basically just a screen, but it thickens near the bottom to fit the ports and internal architecture.\n\nLatest Videos From TechRadar\n\nWhile it is obviously meant to be wall mounted, you do get a stand with this one. The frame is slim so that the screen feels all the more impactful. And it all works, just not in a premium, [Sony](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/sony) Bravia A1 kind of way.\n\nSimply put, the Mi TV 4 is premium for its price. But just like the erstwhile LeEco televisions, it looks better in pictures.\n\nIn short, while you won't be disappointed with the design, but you're not going to be blown away either.\n\n## Ports\n![](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/my7yKwEHDMXDyJe5ZwmKw4.jpg)\n\nWith three HDMI and USB ports each, the Mi TV provides ample connectivity options. You also get an ethernet port, just in case the WiFi wasn't working for you. While there's ample port support here, the placement is somewhat problematic.\n\nGet daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox\n\nSign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.\n\nThe HDMI and USB ports lie in a socket on the back of the TV, facing outward. This can easily get in the way of various HDMI cables and devices. For instance, my Fire TV Stick can't be connected to any of these ports, because there's just not enough space. Even using a connector, I had to struggle to get the right fit. While I was able to connect the Xbox One without a connector, it still took some work.\n\nIt's not really a big issue, but a slight misstep that some may not like. For set-top-boxes and consoles that don't need to be disconnected often, it's a one time hassle. It is important for devices like the Chromecast etc. I often saw horizontal lines while playing content from the FireTV Stick, which I fixed by reconnecting it.\n\n## Watching content on the Mi TV...\n![](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/CufVTugBxChWTB7xpm5vqC.jpg)\n\nAs mentioned earlier, Xiaomi's televisions are content delivery systems. In essence, the TV is just another screen for the company to extend its ecosystem. In India though, it's just like any other television. The content offerings here aren't owned by Xiaomi, so it's unlikely that the company is making a lot of money from them. At least not unless it sells enough of these TVs.\n\nThe TV runs on Xiaomi's PatchWall user interface, which serves content based on what you watch. From the offset, you will see content offerings from Sony Liv, Viu, Voot and Hungama on the home screen. Xiaomi actually has quite a few content partnerships here actually, but none that actually dazzle.\n\nYou see, Hungama, Voot, Viu and even Sony Liv, do not deliver the quality of content you want from these TVs. While you do get HD and 1080p content from them, Netflix, Prime Video and Hotstar are quite noticeably better, not just in terms of resolution, but in other ways too, including content selection.\n\nFor the record, Xiaomi says Hotstar and Prime Video will be added soon. Yet, the TV doesn't have an app store, so you won't be able to install additional apps, without some tinkering. If there was a TV for the tinkering enthusiasts, this is the one.\n\nBut content offerings aside, my pet peeve here is the interface itself. It looks unfinished, unattractive and frankly, shoddy. Thumbnail images are low resolution, while fonts lack styling. Yes, there are no bugs or lags to speak of, but the UI just doesn't feel like Xiaomi put time into it. Compared to MiUI, this just feels like an unfinished product and ruins the overall experience.\n\n## Why does this matter?\nAm I nitpicking? Yes, I certainly am. But the UI is integral to a smart TV, much more than it is in phones. The TV is a visual experience, from top to bottom. If it doesn't look good, it doesn't feel good. Maybe that's just me, but I do expect more from Xiaomi.\n\nAdmittedly, it's an incredibly fast UI, but that's about all there is to it.\n\n## Picture Quality\nWhen I saw the original Mi TV, I was truly dazzled. Again, this is probably just me, but I do expect Xiaomi's devices to be closer to flagship class.\n\nIn that respect, the Mi TV is far behind offerings from Sony, [LG](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/lg) or [Samsung](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/samsung). To be clear, it's still a great TV for the price, I'm just warning you against setting your expectations too high.\n\nColours and contrast on the Mi TV 4 are decent. If you're upgrading from cheaper offerings from Vu etc, you will actually see a fair difference here. Yet, it's nothing like the Samsung QLEDs and a far stretch from [OLED](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/oled) TVs from Sony and LG.\n\nI tweaked the settings a bit, but could often see clouding on the screen. Screen uniformity is not the Mi TV 4's forte and you can't unsee this if you've spotted it once.\n\nThe Mi TV produces decent black levels, but it's seriously hampered by clouding. The [Panasonic](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/panasonic) Shinobi Pro series produces better contrast and colours, though they support 1080p resolution only.\n\nFor the uninitiated, clouding is the effect where you see brighter patches on parts of the screen. The screen here is also reflective, meaning it works best in dark rooms. You will see a noticeable difference in picture quality in brightly lit rooms, or if there's even a little natural light falling on the screen.\n\nOverall, though I was personally expecting more, the Mi TV 4 is certainly a good TV. If Xiaomi can sell this anywhere around the Rs 60,000 mark, it's still a competitive offering. [4K](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/4k) [HDR](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/hdr) TVs in India are usually sold at over Rs 1 lakh, so the value proposition would be tough to ignore.\n\n## Audio Quality\nFor small to medium-sized rooms, the Mi TV 4 is quite enough. Audio isn’t very detailed, but it works for watching TV in general. Like most TVs in India, it does the job for watching movies or videos, but if your ears are better tuned, you may want to add speakers or a home theatre unit.\n\nYou can’t really tune the audio quality much. The TV supports Dolby audio, but the settings don’t make a big difference here. The “voice enhance” option makes voices louder, while the surround option doesn’t seem to make a big difference. There is an equaliser though, which can be handy.\n\n## Remote and Usability\n![](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NmA96XcuRCcSnHdMRYYbUM.jpg)\n\nThe best smart TVs always try to do everything with a single remote and so does the Mi TV 4. However, here again, I go back to the fact that this is an unfinished system.\n\nFor instance, the remote can control my FireTV Stick for basic navigation, but there's no way to pause a video on Hotstar. And pressing the \"up\" button somehow brings up the resolution and subtitle options. Navigation is fine as long as I'm scrolling through content, but the deeper applications are often missing.\n\nXiaomi's looks and feels the same as [Amazon](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/amazon)'s FireTV remote, but it has a volume controller too. It connects to the TV via Bluetooth, so you can use it without actually pointing to the TV.\n\nIf you're buying this TV, you should buy a couple of AAA batteries beforehand. Interestingly, Xiaomi doesn't bundle batteries with this television.\n\n## Verdict\n*Update: At the time of writing this, I didn't have the price of the Mi TV. Now that we do, it's value proposition goes up incrementally. At Rs 39,999, this is without a doubt one of the most value for money offerings out there. [TCL](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/tag\/tcl)'s Android TVs offer better picture quality in some ways, but without content support. The Mi TV is for those who don't want to use set top boxes.*\n\nSimply put, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is a good TV for the price. Yet, it's sad to see that Xiaomi is just one amongst many now. The Mi TV 4 doesn't dazzle, which is not a problem, as long as you keep your expectations in check.\n\nThat said, in the larger scheme of things, it's a value for money television, which is what matters.\n\n![Prasid Banerjee](https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/kKcCBbCwPG7EADEY2mZQWf.png)\n\n[Prasid Banerjee](https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/author\/prasid-banerjee)\n\nPrasid Banerjee is the Editor-In-Chief at TechRadar India.

But it begs the question, can Xiaomi not produce game changing products anymore? #### Pros - \+ Slim, attractive design - \+ Excellent value for money - \+ Ample port support - \+ Plays 4K at 60Hz natively #### Cons - \- Lacks screen uniformity - \- Contrast ratio could be better - \- Reflective screen Best picks for you - [The best mini-LED TVs for all budgets, tested by our experts](https://www.techradar.com/televisions/best-mini-led-tv) - [I’m a trained TV calibrator, and here are the best TVs you can buy today](https://www.techradar.com/news/best-tv) - [The best 55-inch 4K TVs for all budgets, all tested by our experts](https://www.techradar.com/best/55-inch-4k-tv) Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you're buying the best. [Find out more about how we test.](https://www.techradar.com/news/how-we-test) Xiaomi's Mi TVs are TVs in name only. Much like LeEco's strategy before it, the television is a content delivery mechanism for the company. In fact, Xiaomi has often cited the lack of content partnerships as the primary reason for not bringing these TVs to India. But they're here now, starting with the Mi TV 4. So, Xiaomi must think it's ready. At the time of writing this, I've used the Mi TV 4 for under a week. While it is an interesting device indeed, it's part of what I often call the "new Xiaomi", one that doesn't really dazzle anymore. It still makes good products, but that wow factor is truly gone. The Mi TV will be competitive, but it won't be life changing. ## That Red Dot award... Yes, this is the television that won the Red Dot Award some time back. It's as slim as the slimmest TVs on the market. At 4.9mm, it's basically just a screen, but it thickens near the bottom to fit the ports and internal architecture. Latest Videos From TechRadar While it is obviously meant to be wall mounted, you do get a stand with this one. The frame is slim so that the screen feels all the more impactful. And it all works, just not in a premium, [Sony](https://www.techradar.com/tag/sony) Bravia A1 kind of way. Simply put, the Mi TV 4 is premium for its price. But just like the erstwhile LeEco televisions, it looks better in pictures. In short, while you won't be disappointed with the design, but you're not going to be blown away either. ## Ports ![](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/my7yKwEHDMXDyJe5ZwmKw4.jpg) With three HDMI and USB ports each, the Mi TV provides ample connectivity options. You also get an ethernet port, just in case the WiFi wasn't working for you. While there's ample port support here, the placement is somewhat problematic.

You also agree to receive marketing emails from us that may include promotions from our trusted partners and sponsors, which you can unsubscribe from at any time. The HDMI and USB ports lie in a socket on the back of the TV, facing outward. This can easily get in the way of various HDMI cables and devices. For instance, my Fire TV Stick can't be connected to any of these ports, because there's just not enough space. Even using a connector, I had to struggle to get the right fit. While I was able to connect the Xbox One without a connector, it still took some work. It's not really a big issue, but a slight misstep that some may not like. For set-top-boxes and consoles that don't need to be disconnected often, it's a one time hassle. It is important for devices like the Chromecast etc. I often saw horizontal lines while playing content from the FireTV Stick, which I fixed by reconnecting it. ## Watching content on the Mi TV... ![](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CufVTugBxChWTB7xpm5vqC.jpg) As mentioned earlier, Xiaomi's televisions are content delivery systems. In essence, the TV is just another screen for the company to extend its ecosystem. In India though, it's just like any other television. The content offerings here aren't owned by Xiaomi, so it's unlikely that the company is making a lot of money from them. At least not unless it sells enough of these TVs. The TV runs on Xiaomi's PatchWall user interface, which serves content based on what you watch. From the offset, you will see content offerings from Sony Liv, Viu, Voot and Hungama on the home screen. Xiaomi actually has quite a few content partnerships here actually, but none that actually dazzle. You see, Hungama, Voot, Viu and even Sony Liv, do not deliver the quality of content you want from these TVs. While you do get HD and 1080p content from them, Netflix, Prime Video and Hotstar are quite noticeably better, not just in terms of resolution, but in other ways too, including content selection. For the record, Xiaomi says Hotstar and Prime Video will be added soon. Yet, the TV doesn't have an app store, so you won't be able to install additional apps, without some tinkering. If there was a TV for the tinkering enthusiasts, this is the one. But content offerings aside, my pet peeve here is the interface itself. It looks unfinished, unattractive and frankly, shoddy. Thumbnail images are low resolution, while fonts lack styling. Yes, there are no bugs or lags to speak of, but the UI just doesn't feel like Xiaomi put time into it. Compared to MiUI, this just feels like an unfinished product and ruins the overall experience. ## Why does this matter? Am I nitpicking? Yes, I certainly am. But the UI is integral to a smart TV, much more than it is in phones. The TV is a visual experience, from top to bottom. If it doesn't look good, it doesn't feel good. Maybe that's just me, but I do expect more from Xiaomi. Admittedly, it's an incredibly fast UI, but that's about all there is to it. ## Picture Quality When I saw the original Mi TV, I was truly dazzled. Again, this is probably just me, but I do expect Xiaomi's devices to be closer to flagship class. In that respect, the Mi TV is far behind offerings from Sony, [LG](https://www.techradar.com/tag/lg) or [Samsung](https://www.techradar.com/tag/samsung). To be clear, it's still a great TV for the price, I'm just warning you against setting your expectations too high. Colours and contrast on the Mi TV 4 are decent. If you're upgrading from cheaper offerings from Vu etc, you will actually see a fair difference here. Yet, it's nothing like the Samsung QLEDs and a far stretch from [OLED](https://www.techradar.com/tag/oled) TVs from Sony and LG. I tweaked the settings a bit, but could often see clouding on the screen. Screen uniformity is not the Mi TV 4's forte and you can't unsee this if you've spotted it once. The Mi TV produces decent black levels, but it's seriously hampered by clouding. The [Panasonic](https://www.techradar.com/tag/panasonic) Shinobi Pro series produces better contrast and colours, though they support 1080p resolution only. For the uninitiated, clouding is the effect where you see brighter patches on parts of the screen. The screen here is also reflective, meaning it works best in dark rooms. You will see a noticeable difference in picture quality in brightly lit rooms, or if there's even a little natural light falling on the screen. Overall, though I was personally expecting more, the Mi TV 4 is certainly a good TV. If Xiaomi can sell this anywhere around the Rs 60,000 mark, it's still a competitive offering. [4K](https://www.techradar.com/tag/4k) [HDR](https://www.techradar.com/tag/hdr) TVs in India are usually sold at over Rs 1 lakh, so the value proposition would be tough to ignore. ## Audio Quality For small to medium-sized rooms, the Mi TV 4 is quite enough. Audio isn’t very detailed, but it works for watching TV in general. Like most TVs in India, it does the job for watching movies or videos, but if your ears are better tuned, you may want to add speakers or a home theatre unit. You can’t really tune the audio quality much. The TV supports Dolby audio, but the settings don’t make a big difference here. The “voice enhance” option makes voices louder, while the surround option doesn’t seem to make a big difference. There is an equaliser though, which can be handy. ## Remote and Usability ![](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NmA96XcuRCcSnHdMRYYbUM.jpg) The best smart TVs always try to do everything with a single remote and so does the Mi TV 4. However, here again, I go back to the fact that this is an unfinished system. For instance, the remote can control my FireTV Stick for basic navigation, but there's no way to pause a video on Hotstar. And pressing the "up" button somehow brings up the resolution and subtitle options. Navigation is fine as long as I'm scrolling through content, but the deeper applications are often missing. Xiaomi's looks and feels the same as [Amazon](https://www.techradar.com/tag/amazon)'s FireTV remote, but it has a volume controller too. It connects to the TV via Bluetooth, so you can use it without actually pointing to the TV. If you're buying this TV, you should buy a couple of AAA batteries beforehand. Interestingly, Xiaomi doesn't bundle batteries with this television. ## Verdict Update: At the time of writing this, I didn't have the price of the Mi TV. Now that we do, it's value proposition goes up incrementally. At Rs 39,999, this is without a doubt one of the most value for money offerings out there. [TCL](https://www.techradar.com/tag/tcl)'s Android TVs offer better picture quality in some ways, but without content support. The Mi TV is for those who don't want to use set top boxes. Simply put, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is a good TV for the price. Yet, it's sad to see that Xiaomi is just one amongst many now. The Mi TV 4 doesn't dazzle, which is not a problem, as long as you keep your expectations in check. That said, in the larger scheme of things, it's a value for money television, which is what matters. ![Prasid Banerjee](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kKcCBbCwPG7EADEY2mZQWf.png) [Prasid Banerjee](https://www.techradar.com/author/prasid-banerjee) Social Links Navigation Prasid Banerjee is the Editor-In-Chief at TechRadar India.

Readable Markdown	### TechRadar Verdict The Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is certainly a value for money offering. But it begs the question, can Xiaomi not produce game changing products anymore? #### Pros - \+ Slim, attractive design - \+ Excellent value for money - \+ Ample port support - \+ Plays 4K at 60Hz natively #### Cons - \- Lacks screen uniformity - \- Contrast ratio could be better - \- Reflective screen Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you're buying the best. [Find out more about how we test.](https://www.techradar.com/news/how-we-test) Xiaomi's Mi TVs are TVs in name only. Much like LeEco's strategy before it, the television is a content delivery mechanism for the company. In fact, Xiaomi has often cited the lack of content partnerships as the primary reason for not bringing these TVs to India. But they're here now, starting with the Mi TV 4. So, Xiaomi must think it's ready. At the time of writing this, I've used the Mi TV 4 for under a week. While it is an interesting device indeed, it's part of what I often call the "new Xiaomi", one that doesn't really dazzle anymore. It still makes good products, but that wow factor is truly gone. The Mi TV will be competitive, but it won't be life changing. ## That Red Dot award... Yes, this is the television that won the Red Dot Award some time back. It's as slim as the slimmest TVs on the market. At 4.9mm, it's basically just a screen, but it thickens near the bottom to fit the ports and internal architecture. Latest Videos From TechRadar While it is obviously meant to be wall mounted, you do get a stand with this one. The frame is slim so that the screen feels all the more impactful. And it all works, just not in a premium, [Sony](https://www.techradar.com/tag/sony) Bravia A1 kind of way. Simply put, the Mi TV 4 is premium for its price. But just like the erstwhile LeEco televisions, it looks better in pictures. In short, while you won't be disappointed with the design, but you're not going to be blown away either. ## Ports ![](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/my7yKwEHDMXDyJe5ZwmKw4.jpg) With three HDMI and USB ports each, the Mi TV provides ample connectivity options. You also get an ethernet port, just in case the WiFi wasn't working for you. While there's ample port support here, the placement is somewhat problematic. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. The HDMI and USB ports lie in a socket on the back of the TV, facing outward. This can easily get in the way of various HDMI cables and devices. For instance, my Fire TV Stick can't be connected to any of these ports, because there's just not enough space. Even using a connector, I had to struggle to get the right fit. While I was able to connect the Xbox One without a connector, it still took some work. It's not really a big issue, but a slight misstep that some may not like. For set-top-boxes and consoles that don't need to be disconnected often, it's a one time hassle. It is important for devices like the Chromecast etc. I often saw horizontal lines while playing content from the FireTV Stick, which I fixed by reconnecting it. ## Watching content on the Mi TV... ![](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CufVTugBxChWTB7xpm5vqC.jpg) As mentioned earlier, Xiaomi's televisions are content delivery systems. In essence, the TV is just another screen for the company to extend its ecosystem. In India though, it's just like any other television. The content offerings here aren't owned by Xiaomi, so it's unlikely that the company is making a lot of money from them. At least not unless it sells enough of these TVs. The TV runs on Xiaomi's PatchWall user interface, which serves content based on what you watch. From the offset, you will see content offerings from Sony Liv, Viu, Voot and Hungama on the home screen. Xiaomi actually has quite a few content partnerships here actually, but none that actually dazzle. You see, Hungama, Voot, Viu and even Sony Liv, do not deliver the quality of content you want from these TVs. While you do get HD and 1080p content from them, Netflix, Prime Video and Hotstar are quite noticeably better, not just in terms of resolution, but in other ways too, including content selection. For the record, Xiaomi says Hotstar and Prime Video will be added soon. Yet, the TV doesn't have an app store, so you won't be able to install additional apps, without some tinkering. If there was a TV for the tinkering enthusiasts, this is the one. But content offerings aside, my pet peeve here is the interface itself. It looks unfinished, unattractive and frankly, shoddy. Thumbnail images are low resolution, while fonts lack styling. Yes, there are no bugs or lags to speak of, but the UI just doesn't feel like Xiaomi put time into it. Compared to MiUI, this just feels like an unfinished product and ruins the overall experience. ## Why does this matter? Am I nitpicking? Yes, I certainly am. But the UI is integral to a smart TV, much more than it is in phones. The TV is a visual experience, from top to bottom. If it doesn't look good, it doesn't feel good. Maybe that's just me, but I do expect more from Xiaomi. Admittedly, it's an incredibly fast UI, but that's about all there is to it. ## Picture Quality When I saw the original Mi TV, I was truly dazzled. Again, this is probably just me, but I do expect Xiaomi's devices to be closer to flagship class. In that respect, the Mi TV is far behind offerings from Sony, [LG](https://www.techradar.com/tag/lg) or [Samsung](https://www.techradar.com/tag/samsung). To be clear, it's still a great TV for the price, I'm just warning you against setting your expectations too high. Colours and contrast on the Mi TV 4 are decent. If you're upgrading from cheaper offerings from Vu etc, you will actually see a fair difference here. Yet, it's nothing like the Samsung QLEDs and a far stretch from [OLED](https://www.techradar.com/tag/oled) TVs from Sony and LG. I tweaked the settings a bit, but could often see clouding on the screen. Screen uniformity is not the Mi TV 4's forte and you can't unsee this if you've spotted it once. The Mi TV produces decent black levels, but it's seriously hampered by clouding. The [Panasonic](https://www.techradar.com/tag/panasonic) Shinobi Pro series produces better contrast and colours, though they support 1080p resolution only. For the uninitiated, clouding is the effect where you see brighter patches on parts of the screen. The screen here is also reflective, meaning it works best in dark rooms. You will see a noticeable difference in picture quality in brightly lit rooms, or if there's even a little natural light falling on the screen. Overall, though I was personally expecting more, the Mi TV 4 is certainly a good TV. If Xiaomi can sell this anywhere around the Rs 60,000 mark, it's still a competitive offering. [4K](https://www.techradar.com/tag/4k) [HDR](https://www.techradar.com/tag/hdr) TVs in India are usually sold at over Rs 1 lakh, so the value proposition would be tough to ignore. ## Audio Quality For small to medium-sized rooms, the Mi TV 4 is quite enough. Audio isn’t very detailed, but it works for watching TV in general. Like most TVs in India, it does the job for watching movies or videos, but if your ears are better tuned, you may want to add speakers or a home theatre unit. You can’t really tune the audio quality much. The TV supports Dolby audio, but the settings don’t make a big difference here. The “voice enhance” option makes voices louder, while the surround option doesn’t seem to make a big difference. There is an equaliser though, which can be handy. ## Remote and Usability ![](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NmA96XcuRCcSnHdMRYYbUM.jpg) The best smart TVs always try to do everything with a single remote and so does the Mi TV 4. However, here again, I go back to the fact that this is an unfinished system. For instance, the remote can control my FireTV Stick for basic navigation, but there's no way to pause a video on Hotstar. And pressing the "up" button somehow brings up the resolution and subtitle options. Navigation is fine as long as I'm scrolling through content, but the deeper applications are often missing. Xiaomi's looks and feels the same as [Amazon](https://www.techradar.com/tag/amazon)'s FireTV remote, but it has a volume controller too. It connects to the TV via Bluetooth, so you can use it without actually pointing to the TV. If you're buying this TV, you should buy a couple of AAA batteries beforehand. Interestingly, Xiaomi doesn't bundle batteries with this television. ## Verdict Update: At the time of writing this, I didn't have the price of the Mi TV. Now that we do, it's value proposition goes up incrementally. At Rs 39,999, this is without a doubt one of the most value for money offerings out there. [TCL](https://www.techradar.com/tag/tcl)'s Android TVs offer better picture quality in some ways, but without content support. The Mi TV is for those who don't want to use set top boxes. Simply put, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 is a good TV for the price. Yet, it's sad to see that Xiaomi is just one amongst many now. The Mi TV 4 doesn't dazzle, which is not a problem, as long as you keep your expectations in check. That said, in the larger scheme of things, it's a value for money television, which is what matters. ![Prasid Banerjee](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kKcCBbCwPG7EADEY2mZQWf.png) [Prasid Banerjee](https://www.techradar.com/author/prasid-banerjee) Prasid Banerjee is the Editor-In-Chief at TechRadar India.
