Xiaomi is moving quick to carve a space for itself in the premium smart TV space. The Chinese giant has already launched OLED and Transparent TVs earlier this year. And today, as promised last week, Xiaomi has taken the wraps off its first-ever mini-LED Mi TV Master Extreme in China.
Mi TV Master Extreme Edition boasts an 82-inch mini-LED panel with an 8K Ultra-HD (7,680 × 4,320) resolution. The display uses 15,360 mini LED beads to form 960 light-control partitions, which deliver 2,000 nits of peak brightness and 400,000:1 contrast ratio. Each partition can now deliver 4,096 levels of light and dark variations, claims Xiaomi.
Another differentiating factor for the Mi TV Master Extreme is the new retractable ‘sound wing’ speaker system. The speakers are hidden behind the display in idle state and automatically show up from the left and right edges of the TV when you are ready to watch content. You will find eight-unit speakers, with two 20W bass and two 10W high-frequency units, and an inverted tube for enhanced bass. It supports Dolby Atmos and the company’s proprietary sound technology onboard as well.
