Xiaomi intros new affordable Mini LED TV series with multiple upgrades over last lineup
Xiaomi has introduced the TV S Pro Mini LED 2026 series in China. It's an upgrade over the 2025 lineup, and the company highlights a handful of improvements. One of the big highlights is the "1,792 backlight zone," promising vivid details in pictures with "precise light and shadow control."
The company also notes that the new affordable Mini LED TV series can reach a peak brightness of 5,200 nits. While this is a local peak brightness rating, it's a notable step-up from the 3,200 nits rating that the 2025 lineup featured. This upgrade should lead to brighter picture outputs and a better HDR experience.
Xiaomi further highlights that the DCI-P3 coverage of the new affordable TVs is 95%, and the panels are said to be factory calibrated to deliver true-to-life colors. With the "Master quality engine," the latest lineup is also said to offer dynamic image enhancements.
Another notable upgrade is the up to 330 Hz refresh rate, a big plus for gamers. In comparison, the 2025 Mini LED TV series was rated for up to 288 Hz. Xiaomi further notes that there's support for AMD FreeSync Premium and VRR, promising to offer reduced screen tearing and a smooth gaming experience.
Among the other upgrades over the last-gen Mini LED TVs are slimmer bezels that measure 4.35 mm, a 2.1.2 cinema-grade audio setup with Harman tuning and Dolby Atmos, and a thin wall mount. There is a decent selection of I/O ports as well, including:
- 3x HDMI 2.1
- 1x USB 3.0
- 1x USB 2.0
- 1x AV input
- 1x Optical
- 1x Ethernet LAN
- 1x Antenna input
Xiaomi's TV S Pro Mini LED 2026 lineup is available in four sizes, and the launch prices are as follows:
- 65-inch costs CNY 6,499, around $912
- 75-inch costs CNY 8,199, about $1,150
- 85-inch costs CNY 10,499, around $1,473
- 98-inch costs CNY 19,999, about $2,736
These converted Chinese prices are comparatively lower than most of the other feature-packed Mini LED TVs available in the global market (Hisense 65" Class U8 curr. $1,081.99 on Amazon). However, Xiaomi has yet to reveal when the TV S Pro 2026 series will make an international debut.
