Xiaomi Unveils Its First RGB-Mini LED TVs With Brightness of Up to 5500 Nits

Xiaomi has unveiled an innovative lineup of flagship TV S Pro televisions in China, comprising a standard model and the flagship Supreme Edition in sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches. The main technological breakthrough is the use of RGB-Mini LED backlighting, which replaces conventional white LEDs with separate red, green and blue light sources. This solution allowed the manufacturer to achieve 100 percent coverage of the BT.2020 color space and reduce power consumption by one-third in scenes dominated by a monochrome background.

The new models deliver record brightness and contrast figures. Peak brightness is 5000 nits for the standard models and 5500 nits for the Supreme Edition. Deep blacks are provided by a sophisticated local dimming system with between 2160 and 4860 zones, depending on screen size. Another advantage of the higher-end model is its advanced anti-glare coating, with a reflectance of just 0.5%, compared with 1.8% for the standard version.

All the devices feature 4K panels with a native refresh rate of 180 Hz and support for VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, making them ideal for gaming. Moreover, the Supreme Edition models can reach an impressive 360 Hz in esports mode. Connectivity includes four HDMI 2.1 ports, Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet and USB.

Performance is powered by a powerful quad-core Cortex-A73 processor, paired with 4 Gb of RAM and 64 Gb of storage, running the new HyperOS 4 operating system. One smart feature is a built-in millimeter-wave radar that tracks a person’s position in the room and automatically adjusts the picture and sound for them. The Supreme Edition also features a dedicated XM9000 coprocessor that precisely synchronizes the backlight and LCD panel.

The audio system is one of the main differences between the two versions. The standard TV S Pro models feature a 130-watt 2.1.2-channel sound system with height speakers and a subwoofer. The Supreme Edition offers an even more immersive 170-watt 4.1.2-channel system with additional side channels and Dolby Atmos support. Both systems were developed in partnership with Harman specialists.

Visually, the TVs stand out with their ultra-thin metal bodies (from 49.7 to 54.9 mm) and a special wall mount that leaves a minimal 5 mm gap between the wall and the panel.

In China, prices for the standard Xiaomi TV S Pro lineup start at $894 and go up to $1937. The advanced Supreme Edition series will cost buyers between $939 and $2085.
