There are three HDMI ports (all HDMI 2.1, with one of them supporting eARC), two USB ports, a 3.5mm audio output, an Ethernet port for wired Internet connectivity, an optical audio output, three RCA sockets for composite AV input, and an antenna socket. The ports and sockets face to the left and bottom of the Mi QLED TV 4K's screen. What we have here is a good-looking television, which isn't really a talking point in itself, and that's just fine. There's only a tiny Mi logo at the bottom, and the TV is neither too thick nor too slim.

As would be expected, the design rightly draws your attention to the screen, with few distractions surrounding it. Xiaomi claims a 96 percent screen-to-body ratio on the Mi QLED TV 4K, and this is visible in the slim borders all around. The step up to the premium space for Xiaomi also sees the use of a silver-coloured metal frame around the screen, as well as a carbon-fibre-like texture at the back. That said, 55 inches is large enough for a big-screen experience without being too large, and is in my opinion the ideal size for a 4K TV in a regular home.

The Mi QLED TV 4K has only been launched in a single 55-inch size in India, so there are no options here when it comes to pricing and variants. The Mi QLED TV 4K has a 55-inch Ultra-HD screen, which is in my opinion the ideal big-screen size for most regular homes Can Xiaomi overcome its ‘budget champion' reputation and give the competition a tough fight with the Mi QLED TV 4K? Find out in our review. However, competition in the segment is strong, particularly from brands such as TCL and OnePlus. 54,999, the new QLED TV from Xiaomi is an impressive option on paper, and one that truly stands apart from the company's more affordable televisions.

Xiaomi, best known in the television segment for its affordable smart LED TVs, is ending 2020 with the launch of its most premium television yet, the Mi QLED TV 4K.
