Mi LED TV 4X Pro 55: Apart from price difference of Rs 10,000 what else is different
ED TV 4X Pro is the third smart TV from Xiaomi's stable to offer a huge 55-inch panel. And at Rs 39,999 it makes for a fairly affordable option when compared to Mi LED TV 4 Pro 55. Interestingly, I believe that the Mi LED TV 4X Pro 55-inch also offers better performance and picture quality than the more expensive TVs.
Xiaomi is one of the few brands in India to keep a firm foot in the market with frequent product launches across various price categories. After having a successful stint with smartphones, the brand ventured into the world of smart TVs last year and since then has had successful innings. To maintain the successful stint, Xiaomi has added to its portfolio of smart TVs today with the Mi TV 4X Pro. The Mi TV 4X Pro is the fifth addition to the Mi TV lineup and is aimed to provide a big TV experience without demanding a premium.
The Mi LED TV 4X Pro costs Rs 39,999 and promises some improvements over the previous model. Xiaomi says that they have worked on all those parameters where the previous model bogged down. The goal was to provide the premium large TV experience without demanding a large sum of money. I have had some hands-on experience with the Mi LED TV 4X Pro and here are some of the points where the new 55-inch TV differs from the older model drastically.
How the Mi LED TV 4X Pro is different from the Mi LED TV 4 Pro.
A thicker design
When Xiaomi unveiled the first Mi LED TV 4 55 early last year, it caught everyone's attention with its sleek and svelte build. Xiaomi claimed that the Mi LED TV 4 55 was thinner than a coin at the edges. However, the slim build translated into a very fragile package, which led to complicated logistics and handling. With the new model, Xiaomi opts for a more conventional design similar to the smaller Mi TV 4 Pro models. The Mi LED TV 4X Pro is thicker and one can notice the bulk at the back. The frame contains noticeable bezels all-around. It also loses the blue accents around the frame. Ta first glance, it doesn't look as appealing as the original model.
Better backlight
With the Mi LED TV 4 Pro, Xiaomi managed to get the aesthetics right. But the slimmer profile meant the backlighting had to be adjusted, resulting in a not-so-impressive contrast and brightness combination. With the Mi LED TV 4X Pro, the TV has more space at the back. This helps it to ensure an even distribution of backlight across the entire LCD panel. This should result in a viewing experience with uniforms and bright colours all though the display.
Also, the screen now sports 10-bit panel, which slightly better contrast and colours than the 8-bit panel in the Mi LED TV 4 Pro.
Better audio performance
With the older Mi LED TV 4 Pro, Xiaomi relied on two 8W speakers. They were good, but not on par with the ones it wanted to compete. With the Mi LED TV 4X Pro, Xiaomi has upgraded the speakers. There's a still a dual speaker setup that now has a rated output of 20W. This should result in more volume as well as better performance across various frequencies.
Updated PatchWall and Android TV
The Mi LED TV 4X Pro follows Xiaomi's tradition of using Android TV as the operating system. It runs on Android TV 8.1 Oreo and is slated to get updated to the Android Pie as and when Xiaomi releases it. PatchWall also gets updated with a more polished interface and enhanced focus on delivering more content than before. Xiaomi says that PatchWall will get AI capabilities in the future, which will suggest content based on the user's preferences. Additionally, PatchWall will also provide an individual profile for various members of a family so as to provide a more personalised user experience.
