Good to see China putting pressure on prices doggie ; heres the 60" though its only got 8 zones for the backlighting . Very popular in the poll 92% of 129 punters wanted it ; at a guess Owen wasnt one :)

The 60" was using an LG panel. This is supposed to be a Sharp.

If there was a local XiaoMi distributor, I'd definitely consider this.

It looks amazingly well designed. Love the thinness of it. Sub 13mm. I guess that will mean no local dimming?

Yep let the Chinese bring out something large and reasonably decent for a quarter of the price and then watch the thieves drop there outrageous prices of UHD large TV's today.

Nothing like competition to lower prices for sure.

Just back from annual Hong Kong Consumer Electronics Trade Fair gee wizz more TV brands there than ever, most not heard of in OZ (yet).

Hard to say about local dimming ; the 60" reads like its got 8 zones and this one youde think has more and has its motherboard circuitry in the sound bar so very slim..A distributor would be good = ''it is only available in China at the time of this writing'' ..Did read @ avs about new upmarket sharp panels that were going to be used in panas or sony's ; cant remember which ?

" Unlike many other TVs that have the bulk of their internals built into the display itself, the Mi TV 3’s motherboard is packed into its sound bar. Basically, all of the ports are located at the sound bar instead of the TV, and only one cable is necessary to link the former to the display"' - like a samsung .Curious maybe big brother is coming ? - http://xiaomistore.com.au/

I quite like the idea if they can update the box to support future HDMI revisions etc without getting a brand new panel.

Tell me about it ; good for compatability certainly . i wish they stopped at hdmi2.0 but 2.1 is coming ; 2.0a does everything I could conceive :logik:

Mandarin is not a written language but a dialect in northern China. It is pretty clear that the 70 inch screen use the Sharp panel, 60 inch use the LG panel and 55 inch use either Samsung or LG panel. The sets support 85% of wide gamut so it does not meet the HDR reference standard.

How many official LG and Samsung UHD TVs meet the HDR standard?

Gamut and grey scale (colour) accuracy is FAR more important than a wider gamut. Movies typically dont have a significant amount of wide gamut content to begin with.

Wide gamut colour that is not accurate will perform worse than Rec.709 colour done right so a % of DCI coverage tells you nothing, its just marketing.

Cheap TV's normally have no way to adjust colour, and if they do it will be very rudimentary and incapable of getting an accurate result with any video source.

Because of that a bottom of the range Samsung or Sony is a better option then a no name TV IMHO. Even the top line models cant be calibrated to do DCI P3 accurately, but just about all Samsung or Sony current TV's can be calibrated to do Rec.709 with a good grey scale, the no name TV's cannot. The Sony's are often very good out of the box.
