Xiaomi TV Master 86 ＂Mini LED： self-developed master image quality engine achieves image quality ceiling

　In the high-end TV market, high image quality has always been the core criterion. In order to pursue high image quality, there are currently two main display technology routes of OLED and Mini LED. However, since last year, TV brands such as Samsung and SONY, which have been dominating OLED display technology, have also begun to produce Mini LED TVs. From the side, it can be seen that the market loves Mini LED TVs.

　　Many users define high image quality from three aspects: contrast, brightness, and color gamut. Among them, Mini LED has obvious advantages in improving brightness and contrast, but it always feels a little bit worse in color gamut performance. To this end, Xiaomi’s newly released Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED, in addition to the advantages of Mini LED, also combines QLED high color gamut technology, and cooperates with the exclusive self-developed master image quality engine to rewrite the high image quality standard. Let’s take you to appreciate its style.

　　High image quality performance: the most worthwhile high-end TV to buy within 20,000 yuan

　　Compared with traditional LCD, the biggest improvement of Mini LED display technology is to upgrade the surface light source to a pixel-level point light source to improve the light control ability and achieve high brightness and high contrast characteristics. In order to improve the light control performance, the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED further reduces the size of the backlight bead module to one-770 times the size of the traditional LCD lamp bead, which can accommodate more lamp bead modules and make the backlight output more delicate.

　　At the same time, in order to fully unleash the potential of Mini LED, Xiaomi TV Master’s 86-inch Mini LED uses a 1080-level distributed backlight module, which controls 6480 lamp bead modules through a customized 36 driver IC chip to achieve 4096-level brightness adjustment by partition, allowing each partition to precisely distribute brightness and fine light control.

　　It can be clearly seen from the 4K TV tone level reduction test map that the gray level can be easily distinguished in the 64-level and 32-level level level distribution map, and there is no jump or parallel level appearance. The spherical gradual change map is too smooth and soft, and the level is obvious. It can be seen that its brightness and contrast performance are worthy of recognition.

　　The above picture is a 256-level grey release test chart, and the grey release restoration ability of Xiaomi TV Master’s 86-inch Mini LED is also good.

　　It can be seen that in Xiaomi’s self-developed master image quality engine, the Local Dimming algorithm responsible for global light control is still very powerful. By customizing the light control system, each IC chip can control 30 small partitions, frame by frame and partition by partition. Calculate and redistribute the brightness value of each partition, improve the highlights and dark field details, and achieve accurate light control performance.

　　From the screen parameters given by the official, the peak brightness of the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED is 2000nits, the brightness of pure black is only 0.0001nits, and the dynamic contrast ratio is as high as 6,700,000:1, which is very consistent with the performance just tested.

　　Let’s compare the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED with the SONY 85X95EK that also uses Mini LED. Obviously, the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED on the left is more advantageous in terms of overall brightness, and the halo around the halo is also much smaller. In particular, the upper and lower halos of the 85X95EK have obvious halos, rather than pure black.

　　In terms of color, the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED is equipped with a QD-Mini LED backlight module. Based on the advantages of Mini LED, it integrates QLED technology, which is equivalent to the ultra-high contrast of OLED and the ultra-high brightness and ultra-high color gamut of QLED.

　　In the 4K TV color performance test, the saturation of each color block in the upper left corner is very high, and there is no parallel phenomenon, indicating that the color gamut of the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED is very good. And the boundaries of R, G, B, Y, C, and M below are also close to a triangle, indicating that the color reproduction accuracy is very high.

　　Therefore, on the whole, the full-stack color engine and color level engine in the master image quality engine have very good performance, the former can support 99% DCI-P3 movie-level color gamut, making the color performance more stunning; the latter The color level reaches Delta E < 0.8 under DCI-P3, and is adjusted by the algorithm to keep the color temperature consistent under different brightness.

　　In terms of actual color performance, the saturation of the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED looks higher, and the transparency of the whole picture is higher, which can show the gloss of the skin. The performance of the SONY 85X95EK is also remarkable, but the red background has a slight gradual change, and the skin tone also appears dull.

　　Next, let’s enjoy a few sample photos:

　　It is not difficult to see from this Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED that higher brightness can bring better color restoration effect, and at the same time, the details of the dark have also been strengthened. The rich light and dark texture makes the image more distinct and the image quality is more delicate.

　　In addition, in order to meet the needs of more professional users for screen color, the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED uses the same self-developed multi-screen color technology as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Xiaomi Pad 6 series. By studying the screen spectra of different materials, when the TV is connected to external devices, the latest CIE2015 color space calibration is carried out to simulate the physiological characteristics of the human eye, and at the same time, the screens of TVs, mobile phones, and tablets have better color spectrum performance, demonstrating professional strength.

　　This technology is especially friendly for photographers. When photographers need to project photos taken by Xiaomi 13 Ultra to the TV for display, the image quality seen on the Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED screen is the same as that of the mobile phone. And for Apple devices that use CIE2015 color space calibration, it can also achieve multi-screen consistency.

　　Big screen entertainment performance: shocking sound quality, full immersion in big screen games

　　The sound experience is particularly important when watching blockbusters or playing games every day. The Xiaomi TV Master 86-inch Mini LED features a 9-unit center acoustic design and can simulate 3.1-channel effects.
