Xiaomi’s 2026 Mini‑LED TVs land

Mini Light Emitting Diode televisions work by replacing a few large backlights with hundreds or thousands of tiny ones, so the screen can brighten a sunset without washing out a black jacket in the same frame. Xiaomi’s new China lineup pushes that idea into mainstream prices, with the entry 55-inch model starting at 3,099 yuan and the 100-inch version at 9,999 yuan. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) Brightness on a television is measured in nits, which is just a count of how much light the screen can throw at your eyes. Xiaomi says these sets reach 2,000 nits of peak brightness, which is the kind of number manufacturers chase so bright clouds, chrome reflections, and specular highlights do not collapse into dull gray. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) The other half of the trick is local dimming, which means different parts of the backlight can darken or brighten independently like stage lights pointed at different actors. Xiaomi lists 408 dimming zones on the 55-inch model and up to 1,092 zones on the 100-inch model, so the larger sets should do a better job keeping small bright objects from glowing into the surrounding dark area. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) All five models use 4K resolution at 3,840 by 2,160 pixels, which is enough detail that a large print photo or a dense digital painting can hold fine edges on a big wall-sized screen. The sizes are 55, 65, 75, 85, and 100 inches, which gives Xiaomi a ladder from ordinary living rooms to home theater scale. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) Refresh rate is the number of times the image can update each second, and Xiaomi rates these panels at 144 hertz with a boosted mode up to 288 hertz. That is aimed less at movies, which usually run at 24 frames per second, and more at games and sports where fast motion can smear if the screen cannot keep up. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) Color coverage is listed at 94 percent of the Digital Cinema Initiatives P3 gamut, which is the wider color range used for much modern video mastering. In plain terms, that is the part of the spec sheet that tells you whether deep reds, neon greens, and saturated skies look rich instead of chalky. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) Xiaomi is also adding a low-reflection screen coating, and that matters because a bright living room can ruin contrast faster than a weak panel can. The company says the coating cuts reflectance to 1.8 percent, which is meant to keep window glare from sitting on top of dark scenes like a second image. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) The software side is built around Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 and a Lingyun artificial intelligence model, with features for voice control and picture tuning. The audio system is a 2.1-channel setup with four units and 30 watts of output, which means Xiaomi is selling these as complete living-room sets rather than just giant panels. (gizmochina.com) (notebookcheck.net) The interesting comparison is not with Xiaomi’s own European models, but with what Chinese buyers get for the same product family name. Notebookcheck reports the China versions carry higher-end specs and add a 100-inch option, which is a reminder that television lineups now shift by region almost as much as phones do. (notebookcheck.net) (mi.com) Pre-orders opened in China on April 9, 2026, and Xiaomi has not announced United States availability in the material cited here. For now, the story is that a 100-inch Mini Light Emitting Diode television with 4K resolution, 144-hertz refresh, and 2,000-nit peak brightness is no longer being pitched like a luxury science project.
