Xiaomi has launched its TV FX Mini LED series in India, bringing Mini LED backlighting to budget television buyers for the first time. The lineup includes four sizes: 43-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, and 75-inch, with prices starting at Rs 24,999 for the base model.
Mini LED at a Budget Price
Mini LED backlighting uses smaller LED diodes arranged in more precise zones, allowing for better contrast and deeper blacks compared to standard LED TVs. Until now, Mini LED TVs in India have been priced above Rs 50,000. Xiaomi’s FX series brings this technology down to the sub-Rs 25,000 segment for the first time.
The 43-inch model starts at Rs 24,999, the 55-inch at Rs 34,999, the 65-inch at Rs 54,999, and the 75-inch at Rs 79,999. All four sizes go on sale through Amazon India, Mi.com, and authorized retail stores.
Fire TV OS and DLG 120Hz
Unlike Xiaomi’s earlier smart TVs in India that ran PatchWall on top of Android TV, the FX Mini LED series ships with Amazon Fire TV OS built in. This gives users direct access to Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and other streaming apps without needing an external Fire TV Stick.
The TVs support DLG (Double Line Gate) 120Hz technology, which interpolates a 60Hz panel to display 120 frames per second. This is not the same as a native 120Hz panel, but it does reduce motion blur in fast-paced content like sports and action movies. The 55-inch and larger models also include HDMI 2.1 ports for gaming console compatibility.
Picture and Sound Quality
According to a review from gogi.in, the Xiaomi TV FX Mini LED delivers surprisingly good picture quality for its price. The local dimming zones produce deeper blacks than standard LED panels, and the color accuracy out of the box is reasonable for casual viewing. Peak brightness is rated at 700 nits for the 55-inch and above models, which is adequate for well-lit rooms.
Audio is handled by dual 10W speakers with Dolby Audio support. For better sound, you will want to pair it with a soundbar through the HDMI eARC port available on the 55-inch and larger models.
Competition in the Budget TV Space
Xiaomi’s entry into budget Mini LED puts pressure on competitors like TCL, Hisense, and even Samsung’s Crystal UHD range. The TCL C645, which is one of the closest competitors, is priced at Rs 39,990 for the 55-inch model and does not use Mini LED backlighting. Hisense’s A7K series also lacks Mini LED at similar price points.
At Rs 34,999 for a 55-inch Mini LED TV with Fire TV built in, Xiaomi has created a price point that did not exist in the Indian market before this launch.
