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

[rockstah]

No, its smart marketing and to a large extent, deceptive. Not everyone reads the fine print. In fact, very few people do.

Agreed it's clearly deceptive but they can't be questioned as they mention the same in disclaimer and even in their FAQ.

I know you're with me but Whether they can be taken to task in a court of law is another thing. A buyer who is parting with their hard earned money is supposed to exercise reasonable diligence.

But ask yourself (and as exemplified by another thread that i shall not name but feel free to browse around), how many people do? You may be prudent and/or may know what are the specs that need to be taken into consideration or for that matter, the questions that are required to be asked but not everybody is well aware of the relevant considerations. Very few people are.

If only i had a nickel for every time somebody came while making their purchasing decisions for lack of knowing any better. And that's not just them. After joining this forum, i suppose im much more aware about specs that are required to be taken into consideration. But then again, most people aren't a part of this forum.

Considering a company that is as big as Xiaomi is, it's clearly taking customers for a ride/intentionally indulging in deceptive specs. Does the fact that many other relief companies also aren't forthcoming with their facts gives Xiaomi a concession? I think not.

If one wants more power to the customers, one should not condone such tactics. I am from the service industry and there are many ways i can make a killing without the customer knowing any better depending on the disclosures that i make. And to my mind, this is a disclosure that was required to be made in bold and simply speaks volumes about the bonafides of the company (or whoever the marketing genius responsible for this was as are many other specs in the AV industry including that of THD).

But mostly, consider this - rather than it being a part of the "disclaimer", should it not have been disclosed in the "Specifications" itself?

Haven't done 120hz honestly. I am only interested in 4k 60 HDR10 ray tracing.
Seems like PS5 can't even do that for now ( only 30).
Motion handling on games is perfect, much better than 24p movies which definitely stutters due to fast response times. So far my complaints with the tv remains UI glitches and now I have talked directly to the head of Xaiomi India TV department, they said new build is ready and is awaiting certifications.

Hmmm, the PS5 does 4K 60 for a bunch of PS4 gen games - especially end of gen games like TLOU2, GoT.
There's a high chance Horizon is getting a 60fps patch too, just like TLOU2 did.

General query I ordered thru hdfc 12 months emi and Rs.102452.72 was charged on my credit card. I understand that as I continue to pay 15% for the entire period of 12 months I'd end up paying 120000. But what if I foreclose and pay the bank upfront? Anyone has any experience?

I ended up paying 103789 in total for the TV. For all those who want to buy, I urge to use the EMI option and then pay up front by preclosing

You made the purchase from mi.com or flipkart? I plan to get it from mi home local store and will use HDFC emi option if foreclosing the loan get's me interest as discount. But I am not sure how the no cost emi works when card is swiped in store purchase. I have heard from fm that they give interest charge as cashback after few months.

Sad but true. I don't subsribe to that philosophy. Perhaps I'll never be successful at the expense of others like these marketing gurus and be relegated to a mediocre existence.

Agree...

The consumer society we have become is quite a reflection of created demand: make people feel bad about not having x, and see how owning it will dramatically change your life.

And, most of it is associated with non-essentials!

"Tech of future", "Our very best, so far..": Every year we rubbish last year's model, which was long anticipated just 12-18 months ago
"Axe"
"Diamonds are forever" and the associated 'rule' of 2 months salary worth diamond ring: In fact, diamonds are the hardest material found on Earth, but "other than that, they hold no unique distinctions. In fact, they have no intrinsic value!

Here's Where That 2-Month's Salary Engagement Ring Thing Started

You can blame a jewelry ad.

Sorry about the rant!
Feel so trapped, even after knowing that we are willingly getting into one!

Damn... It looks great
Btw, When did you ordered it and whether you are able to claim those 20 ps plus collection games ?
It would be fun gaming in 75 inch TV

As per reports by certain reviewers, the mitv cant do 4k at 120hz, whether hdr or not.

Yes, 4k 120 not possible due to the mediatek processor not able to decode it. That said, you can still play at 120hz at 1080p or 1440p at 10 bit depth which is exactly what these next gen consoles will do.
FYI : Not even LG CX can do 4k 120 DV or the 900h.

I agree it's not right to do so, at least their global website has a * near 120hz and explains it in the bottom so it's a little better where as in Indian website there's no such thing, it's just written in overview section on the bottom of the page in such a small Font size that hardly anyone would notice.

Sadly these type of marketing doesn't stop with this brand or with this category, it's everywhere these days and they can't be legally held for it so they continue to keep doing it. Also it was discussed in this thread a while back so I hope most people who bought it in this forum knew about it before they decided.

Xiaomi is notorious for changing panel of their TVs. I think the current 800-900 nits display will be changed to 400-450 nits real soon.
Even Xiaomi mentioned the same on their European website that panel can have only 500 nits too.

That will be quite a bummer. If the panel is changed to the lower nits one, then the shiny latest toy will be reduced to a caricature of itself.

I don't think so, 500 nits is for minimum brightness and I don't think they could just change the panel like that. Do share where they've done it before.

All previous Mi tv have changed their panel. My friend got a VA panel while other one got ips. It's actually quite common when it comes to Xiaomi. Also that's why Xaiomi has removed 1000 nits from its Indian website

People won't notice actually. If it becomes 450 nits then most Indians will get same brightness in SDR as 800 nits panel. Therefore they will never know.

I just checked their website and it still shows:

"1000 nits peak brightness"

Please share link. Xaiomi never claimed 1000 nits on Indian unit.
Indian units will have made in India panels and not the European ones. The reviewers always get better units than what customers get. I think everyone in this forum knows this .

Yes, you are right. My bad, I was looking at their global site and didn't realize:




The Indian site is conspicuously silent about this:
