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

BTW, did the technician who came for install try to convince you not to Wall mount the TV? Curious because the guy who installed it for my friend here in Bangalore actually convinced him to keep it on a stand due to the weight. I mean it is 30kg but wouldn't that be in the wheelhouse for a decent wall mount? (and assuming the wall itself is decent quality)
Not to me. I did ask him though that how many people prefer stand vs wall, his answer was 75:25

Also, I understand that this requires a different and larger wall mount that is not easily available. Perhaps that could be the reason?

Do they provide a free wall mount or we need to pay for it? If need to pay, how much? What type of wall mount do they provide?
 
^ Hotstar gives 24 fps in sports not even 60. Tata Sky HD is must if you need higher frame rate for football, cricket etc.
Is this specific to Tata sky HD or airtel HD will work as well. Asking as I have the airtel hd connection but hardly switched it on over the past year. However if the stream on my airtel is better I would definitely use it at least for all my football needs.
 
Got mine installed today. Looks good, need to calibrate though.

Now in search of a soundbar ;). I need a minimal setup, except for a wireless woofer. Any recommendations, which can do justice to this big tv? I am thinking samsung q800t.

Curious to know more about calibration.. what are the some of the key parameters to tinker with?

Also, can this be done for specific source?
 
Some quick findings ( gamut size for HDR (rec.2020))
Mi q1 - 79%
Qn90a - 73%
X900h - 63%
Hmm very interesting , could you please share the complete link, my QN90A should be arriving in next couple of days so will be closely observing the Rec.2020 coverage along with all the other PQ aspects.

This is the only thing stopping me from pulling the plug without actually getting a demo.
What does everyone mean by calibration? None of the buyers seem really satisfied unless I’m missing something.
You aren’t happy with the display out of the box (expected / expecting better)? What if its a novice who’s just used to buying a tv & getting it installed like old times. Will he be satisfied with it? Or is it just the size with which you guys are happy about?
Appreciate answers from owners especially, thanks!

good question.

Most ppl buy the TV with the size and technical spec in mind. Even in demo the TVs are generally being displayed in the store mode and may not give an accurate picture so basing the decision solely on demo may not be very wise.

Now it is not as if the buyers do not like the display out of the box but having bought a product you would want it to perform at its potential so we start experimenting (watching youtube videos) and slowly along the way realize that maybe colors need to be calibrated or adjusted so that this is as near as possible to the reference. Now what you and I may perceive may vary therefore calibration by using advanced colourimeters and software is resorted to. In US you do have professionals who would do this for you, however in India there is not much happening in this space. Further the meters as such are very costly and demand for such services anyway is going to be very low.

In any case after installing the TV each of us fiddles with the picture settings and adjusts them as per one's convenience. Some who are sticklers for accuracy try to make the adjustments by eye using several patterns and color bars available on the net. In case of persons needing extreme color accuracy they resort to calibration with professional equipment.

If some of your friends are budding photographer they may have an colourimeter which you can borrow to calibrate your TV using some free software.

I had started a thread about calibration of TVs search for the same and do contribute there if you have done some calibration on your TV sets.

By calibration, i Just meant to get the best out of it, if there is anything left to tune based on my room conditions and personal preferences. I am not going to get any Meter and measure stuff.

To keep it simple, it looks good out of the box to me, and i am happy. I only tried youtube content so far. The audio doesnt do justice to the picture though, and that is the same with most of the large TVs.

I haven't done any calibration for video, am very happy with the video performance so far. That's why even I am curious what and why calibration?

I use TV as video panel only, have zero interest in their sound because sound of all TV sucks. I had to tinker a lot to get my sound system work properly, and that too largely due to my receiver.

To be honest, people tinker to get more immersive experience as they progress in their ownership journey, and usually such people are not novice rather I would call them enthusiasts.

The motion is always giving me headaches. Wide panning shots always give headaches. The stutter is hard to ignore.
