Xiaomi QLED TV X Pro 75 review: Big screen entertainment that does not break the bank
A 75-inch television is one of those gadgets that can completely change how your living room feels. Once you move to a screen this large
A 75-inch television is one of those gadgets that can completely change how your living room feels. Once you move to a screen this large, going back to a 55-inch TV suddenly feels like a downgrade. The problem, though, is that 75-inch models have traditionally been expensive, often crossing the Rs 1 lakh mark. Xiaomi wants to change that. Priced at Rs 69,999, the Xiaomi QLED TV X Pro 75 promises a premium big-screen experience without demanding flagship money. On paper, the package certainly looks tempting. You get a 4K QLED panel with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, Google TV, support for Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Miracast, along with a healthy selection of connectivity options. Read Full Story As expected, Xiaomi has made a few calculated moves to reach this aggressive price point. But after spending time watching everything from cricket matches and YouTube videos to Netflix series and movies, I came away feeling that the company has focused on the areas that matter the most for the average buyer. It isn't perfect, but it doesn't really have to be. The bigger question is whether this TV delivers an experience that justifies bringing a 75-inch display into your home. Here is what I found. Design and build: Looks more expensive than it is The Xiaomi X Pro 75 doesn't try too hard to grab attention through flashy design elements, and I actually like that. It sticks to a clean, understated look with slim bezels around the display, allowing the screen itself to become the highlight. When the TV is switched on, those bezels almost disappear, making movies and TV shows feel even more immersive. That is one of the biggest advantages of a television this size, you don't spend time noticing the hardware because your eyes are focused entirely on the content. Build quality also left a positive impression on me. Although this isn't positioned as a premium flagship television, it certainly doesn't feel like a budget product either. The frame seems solid, the finish is neat and there weren't any creaks or flex that made me question the construction. Of course, a TV this large demands some planning before installation. The supplied stands are sturdy enough, but they require a fairly wide TV cabinet. If your room allows it, I would recommend wall mounting instead. This not only saves space, but also makes it look more aesthetic, cinematic and a cleaner overall setup. Xiaomi hasn't compromised on connectivity either. There are three HDMI ports, including one with eARC support for connecting a soundbar, alongside USB ports, Ethernet, optical output, AV input, an antenna connector and a headphone jack. For wireless connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are available as well. Overall, it is a simple design, but one that works well. It feels modern without trying too hard.
