At the end of June, Xiaomi's Mi family launched a laser projection TV priced at 9,999 yuan, causing quite a stir in the industry. Although it's a Mijia-branded product, after Lei Jun's general introduction, fans naturally had high expectations. Recently, MC also shared their evaluation of this new laser projection TV.
From the Mi products I've used before, the overall design is simple and stylish, and this laser projection TV is no exception. Its sleek appearance fits well with different home decor styles.
The top part of the front panel has a groove, with the laser projection component located in the center. On either side of the groove are anti-glare sensors that detect if someone is approaching. If a person gets too close, the TV automatically reduces brightness to prevent potential eye damage from the laser.
In addition, the device is equipped with a heat sink. During operation, there's some noise coming from the air vent. A decibel meter test (at a distance of 20cm) showed a noise level of 48dB. In real-life use, people are usually far away from the unit, and ambient noise along with the sound from the TV screen makes the noise almost imperceptible.
The temperature of the Mi Jia laser projection TV isn't too high. Thermal imaging tests show that the maximum temperature is around 56°C at the outlet (with an ambient temperature of 28°C), while other parts stay below 40°C. It's worth noting that both laser TVs and projectors generally consume a lot of power. The Mi laser projection TV uses 222W when running in high-brightness mode, which is not much different from a standard laser projector. For users who can afford such a device, power consumption is likely not a major concern.
The Mi Jia laser projection TV runs the same MIUI TV system as Xiaomi TVs, based on Android 6.0. It offers access to Xiaomi’s video content and runs smoothly. This is largely due to its Amlogic T968 processor, featuring a quad-core Cortex-A53 architecture and a Mali T830 GPU. It supports 4K@60fps hardware decoding, H.265@10bit, H.264, AVS+, HDR10, and local dimming. With 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, it handles all tasks efficiently.
I tested it with 4K videos and found that whether using USB 3.0 or 2.0, it played smoothly without lag or audio-video sync issues. Even though its maximum resolution is 1080p, it handles 4K and high-bitrate HD videos without any problems.
For a display device, color accuracy is crucial. The Mi Jia Laser TV claims an NTSC color gamut of 80%–85%, but the official site doesn’t specify the standard. According to CIE1931, this is considered a wide color gamut, but under CIE1976, it's only average—similar to what you'd find on a TN panel.
In actual testing, the NTSC coverage was 74% (CIE1931, CIE1976 is 99%). While not outstanding, the color performance is mainstream and sufficient for most users. The brightness is impressive at 5,000 lumens, though the center brightness measures around 2,600 lumens, with the corners being lower, about 800 lumens.
The Mi Jia Laser TV uses ALPD3.0 laser technology, developed by Shenzhen Guangfeng Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. ALPD stands for "Advanced Laser Phosphor Display," and the third generation represents the latest advancements in this field.
Overall, the Mi Jia Laser Projection TV performs well, especially in terms of video playback smoothness. While its color performance isn't dazzling, it's solid and meets mainstream standards. Most importantly, its price is competitive compared to similar products. If you're considering replacing a traditional TV, we recommend purchasing a dedicated curtain for laser TV use, which may cost an additional 2,000 yuan. For optimal viewing in a well-lit living room, pulling the curtains during the day and using a shade cloth can greatly improve the experience. This isn't just for privacy, but to enhance the visual quality. In short, for those who enjoy large-screen viewing, the Mi Jia Laser TV is a great option.
