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

With lockdown over, wondering why there is availability issue with this MI TV? Chip shortage or some QC issue that they are trying to fix or they are planning for panel update ?

Whatever you mentioned could be true. I feel Mi has not had much stock in the first place ...not many takers in india for 75 inch. I was speaking to one of my friends who works at Reliance Digital and he told me that 60-70 percent sales specially in Tier 2 and 3 cities are 55 inch and below

What I've heard from a Local MI store is that the demand is too much. They said they've more than a 100 bookings. They say the response is tremendous.

After a little research today I found that the TCL C728 is actually a pathetic product just 350nits peak brightness is a hell low for a 1.5 lakh TV the only Plus it has is IMax Enhanced and VRR.


It's actually 11ft.


Actually it's available on the MI Store app but with no discounts and after seeing everyone buying it for around 1.8K I can't spend 1.28K as it'll definitely hurt me. Also sir please suggest good soundbar for better Movie and OTT experience @vikrantxtrad sir please suggest.
My budget is 25K for soundbar but less is preferred if the functionality is almost same currently I'm considering buying ZukeBox 9800.

If you donot have a space constraint , suggest you look for a dedicated HT setup with alAV Reciever and bookshelf speaker. In your budget you would have to look for used ones.

However if you just want a louder and a larger soundstage than your TV , soundbar is just fine specially within your budget. Please be advised that you won't be getting that cinematic and experience of a dedicated HT (which also depends on the room size , acoustics and many other factors)

For soundbar , I can only recommend what I have experienced personally. I came across a Polk Magnifi mini soundbar recently and found it to be really good for its size. Decent soundstage , loud , dialogues are clear and base is adequate for a small to medium room. Slightly above your budget but you might want to check. If you prefer bass , boat or zebronics are for you which are designed keeping Indian bass lovers in mind. For a more natural sound , check if LG / Yamaha / Polk works for you.

For 11 feet 65 is too small. 75 is good for you. I bought this TV for 1.2 no discounts at that time. I don't think MI will cut the cost anytime soon. If you had financial issues and somehow collected money, I will suggest you to buy a very reliable product, go with Samsung/Sony. You will need to downsize. SDR movie experience is also good on cheap TVs only HDR suffers.
Conclusion : 1.28 is still great price, Xiaomi is known to change parts to keep price low, they can downgrade the panel and price it lower. You can go for 65 x90h and for 75 there is simply no competitors to MI.

I don't want the price to be lower but the HDFC discount was huge however I missed that but want to claim again the discount is still available on Flipkart but it's out of stock there.

I suggest you to wait then. Discounts like HDFC will come again. But this TV is hard to assemble so Mi may change its suppliers but it's low probability. Panel change is also probable.

One of videos I shot using my phone. HDR looked so good, I had to record it.

Will it happen now like a Panel change? I am afraid now I can wait for some weeks for the discount.

Depends on your preference and sound signature that you like. Audition before investing your money in any of these.

After a little bit of search, I have decided to stick with the soundbar for 2 reasons 1. They are easy to install as for dedicated HT, I will have to hardwire everything, and the wires will definitely look bad in my Room. 2. They are cheap and almost good enough for the movie-watching experience. After seeing reviews of JukeBar 9800DWS, I think It's a great option right now. However, I am still open to better options, if any available.

The 9800DWS is a 2 channel soundbar, so you just get L and R channels. Any sound system without a centre channel is going to sound pretty bad in movies with a lot of dialogue clarity just gone. No point spending 20k+ on something which lacks even a centre channel. And you aren't going to get Atmos with 2 up-firing speakers. For good directionality from height channels, you'll need 4 speakers for Atmos (ideally ceiling mounted)

I got the 5.1 channel Z906 for 17k last year during the Diwali sale, which will blow away any 2 channel soundbar. And even that I'd not consider to be of great sound quality as the LCR channels aren't big enough.

If you want to go for a soundbar, you need to at least look for Samsung Q800T which usually goes around 30-35k, with it coming to around 28k last Diwali. Also lots of LG soundbars selling for dirt cheap(compared to MRP) in the offline market and around Diwali.

Most good speakers are out of stock due to COVID. The Yamaha 1840 (which is also a good budget option) is also out of stock and overpriced since late last years and the same is the case for AVRs. The Yamaha 3072 is the only good sound system <50k which seems to be in stock.

Not a great time to buy sound systems right now.
