Sony or LG (about 40 – 60 million VND). But it doesn’t stop there, for Xiaomi, perhaps bringing a product line from the high-end segment to the mid-range is not enough to make them feel satisfied. Only when those high-end products are distributed to consumers at popular prices can they be considered successful.
That’s why in 2024 we have the appearance of the S Mini-LED series. This TV line also applies the Mini-LED system and many other modern technologies, but its price will make anyone startled. Indeed, the Xiaomi 65 inch S65 Mini-LED smart TV model Websosanh.vn I want to mention to the following readers that the price is only about 16.9 million VND, even only equal to the low-end LED TV models of the three big players in the industry.

2. Image quality of Xiaomi 65 inch S65 Mini-LED TV
According to specifications, this 65-inch TV model has a total of 392 control zones, which is generally at a basic level for a mini LED TV. Compared to it, the mid-range S65 Pro Mini-LED model of 2023 also has up to 896 partitions, and the more high-end model like the recently launched LG 65QNED90T has up to 2,500 partitions.
But no matter what you say, although the S65 Mini-LED is ‘ranked last’ in the segment, compared to popular LED TVs and LCD TVs, it is still completely overwhelming. Because while the other two TV lines have a maximum brightness that cannot exceed 1000 nits, the S65 Mini-LED still easily achieves 1200 nits when watching HDR content, and reaches about 600 nits with normal content. In addition, Xiaomi has also significantly improved black control. Accordingly, the TV’s brightness is only about 0.05 nits when displaying black at 100% brightness and its contrast is as high as 11,000:1, far exceeding the 5000:1 contrast ratio of the VA panel.

However, it must be said that because the light does not turn off 100%, the S65 Mini-LED still has the same halo problem as LCD or LED TVs. It’s just that its halo is not so clear.
In addition to zoning control capabilities, the S65 Mini-LED also has some experiences worth mentioning. Such as reflection phenomenon. When watching dark scenes under daylight, the TV’s panel can greatly reduce reflections, and we won’t feel like we’re ‘looking into a mirror’ anymore. The viewing angle is also quite good, and at the narrowest angle, the quality does not decrease too much.

On the other hand, Xiaomi also provides a variety of modes and customization options to conveniently adjust display parameters. If you’re not too concerned with manual adjustments, Standard and Cinema modes are enough.

Speaker power reduced from 2 x 15W to 2 x 12.5W, total power is 25W, 5W less than before. In terms of overall experience, the TV’s sound is very normal, the volume is not too loud, the bass is thin and there is almost no bass effect.
To improve the sound of your TV, you can buy an additional soundbar. Basically, just a cheap soundbar can perfectly upgrade the sound quality.

As for the operating system, it will run on the new HyperOS platform launched by Xiaomi last year. It’s basically not much different from MIUI TV but the overall experience is smoother, and especially can bring a unique ecosystem experience. For example, with laptops, smartphones, and smartwatches, we can wirelessly synchronize these devices with TVs to display on the big screen. As for household appliances such as robot vacuum cleaners, lights, fans, doorbells, etc., the S65 Mini-LED can turn into a control center for all of those devices.
5. Conclusion
Mini LED light, maximum brightness 1200 nits, static contrast ratio 10,000:1, 144Hz refresh rate, 10ms latency.
