I think it doesn't end here. Your experience with the TV and a review your way, still due.
Here's a quick summary of what I feel after using the TV for 3 weeks
- Absolute value for money. You can't get any better PQ neither the screen size at this price.
- Delivery was quick , installation was even faster. So far , Mi support has been quick to respond to queries.
- Build quality is good. No creaking or uneven gaps . Bezels are narrow. Looks are nothing to complain of. The stand is made of steel and is sturdy and wide.
- The TV is heavy and huge. Make sure you have the required space and atleast 8-10 feet viewing distance. In case of table top , check the dimension of the table before ordering.
- Feed the right content and the TV shines. HD and UHD content look immersive . HDR and Dolby vision looks stunning. SDR looks washed out at times with blown out highlights but that can be corrected by changing picture settings. Out of the box , movie mode is the best and works for most content. SD content looks terrible. Donot even try to watch. Will give you headache. MEMC needs improvement. I prefer turning it off even for sports and fast action. Colors are fairly accurate and can be customised basis ones liking. HD content from DTH and HD and UHD from OTT perform very well. The TV is extremely bright. I usually reduce brightness and backlight when viewing at night.
- UI is laggy and buggy. Hope things improve with sw update. Comes with Android 10 out of the box with Mi patchwall on top of it. While patchwall is good , the slow nature of the UI spoils the experience. Have experienced a few random crashes with apps.
- Sound is ok but better to use a HT setup or soundbar for that cinematic audio video experience.
- Dual band wifi works well . Haven't seen drop in signal strength at any point of time
Overall I am extremely pleased with the PQ of this TV (which mattered to me the most). I am not into gaming and hence won't be able to comment on its gaming prowess . If you are in the market for a large size QLED , the Mi Q1 is sheer bang for buck !
