Xiaomi X Pro QLED TV review: Premium cinema magic at a budget price

The smart TV space is crowded, but Xiaomi’s X Pro QLED TV manages to cut through the noise by offering a compelling mix of premium features at a competitive price. After spending time with the 65-inch variant — a perfect fit for most living rooms — we walked away impressed not just with what it delivers, but how consistently it does so.

Price & Availability

The X Pro QLED TV is available in 3 sizes and can be bought from Xiaomi’s store & online vendors as well.

Design & Connectivity

The X Pro Series adopts a minimal, bezel-less design that’s clearly intended to blend into various home environments — from compact bedrooms to open-plan living spaces. While the aesthetic feels a bit too safe, it remains elegant and unintrusive.
On the hardware front, it includes 32GB of internal storage, which is more than most in its class. Connectivity is generous too: 3 HDMI ports (including one with eARC), 2 USB ports, Ethernet, AV input, and Bluetooth — covering all your external device needs.

We tested the 65-inch variant, which is ideally suited for living rooms and large entertainment spaces. The immersion is excellent at this size. However, if you’re working with a smaller area or secondary room, Xiaomi also offers a 55-inch version — packing the same performance in a more compact footprint.

AV Quality

At the heart of the experience is the 4K QLED panel, which delivers vivid colors, deep contrasts, and crisp detail. From animated adventures to cinematic thrillers, it holds its own admirably.One standout is the Filmmaker Mode — a feature usually seen in higher-end TVs. It strips away unnecessary post-processing, giving you a more faithful, director-intended experience. Not everyone will love it — some may miss the glossy enhancements — but for purists, it’s gold.However, you do get more modes here like gaming all of which utilises the TVs prowess efficiently.

Visuals aside, Xiaomi’s taken audio seriously too. The X Pro Series features integrated Xiaomi Sound paired with 34W box speakers, bolstered by DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, and Dolby Audio. The result? Whether you’re watching a high-octane chase or a quiet documentary, dialogues remain clear, and the spatial sound adds real atmosphere.

Software

Xiaomi continues to differentiate itself with its content-first ecosystem. The X Pro supports PatchWall and Xiaomi TV+, offering live TV channels, curated recommendations, and easy content discovery. Kids Mode brings parental controls and age-appropriate filters, while Google Assistant integration makes it easy to control the TV with your voice.

For content streaming, it includes Google Cast, Miracast, and Apple AirPlay 2, making it versatile across Android and Apple ecosystems.

All the features work smoothly across the smart TV.

The new Xiaomi remote deserves credit for its thoughtful upgrades. It includes dedicated buttons for popular streaming apps, a mute button, and quick access to Google TV and PatchWall. Voice commands via Google Assistant are smooth, and the remote also features DVB-T2 buttons — currently inactive in India but included for future compatibility with free-to-air standards.

And here’s where it gets interesting — Xiaomi has integrated a chip that lets users access free-to-air channels in compliance with the Indian government’s DTH mandate, making it one of the first to future-proof on this front.

Verdict

The Xiaomi X Pro QLED TV is more than just a budget pick — it’s a smart, feature-rich product that respects the user experience. From vibrant QLED visuals and immersive sound, to forward-thinking software and smart regulatory compliance, it’s one of the most well-rounded TVs in its price bracket.

While the design could use a bit more flair, the core package is strong, refined, and smartly aligned with how modern Indian households consume content today.
