DoggieHowser Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 About 2000AUD before shipping and taxes. Here's the official page http://www.mi.com/mitv3/70/ If your Mandarin is any good. Here's the English press release which I had to google since mine isn't great either. http://www.xiaomidevice.com/blog/xiaomi-mi-tv-3-with-a-70-inch-4k-display/ Now I'll just wait for Owen to slag it off.

cwt Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 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 http://en.miui.com/thread-173346-1-1.html About 2000AUD before shipping and taxes.Here's the official pagehttp://www.mi.com/mitv3/70/If your Mandarin is any good.

Blackman1503561291 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 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.

DoggieHowser Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 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?

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).

cwt Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) 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/ The 60" was using an LG panel.

cwt Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 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 I quite like the idea if they can update the box to support future HDMI revisions etc without getting a brand new panel.

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. Edited April 26, 2016 by jliang70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoggieHowser Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 So NTSC is about 90% DCI P3. If the translation is right and it can only meet 85% of NTSC, that works out to 76.5% of P3 DCI. http://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/movies/hdr/wide-color-gamut-rec-709-dci-p3-rec-2020 That puts it on par with a Sony W800c in the test and above an LG 8500.

Jliang70 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 How many official LG and Samsung UHD TVs meet the HDR standard? At least 2 LG models and 3 Samsung model would have met the standard but that was last year's model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited April 27, 2016 by Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
