Xiaomi\u00a0is a very striking brand for the prices they charge for most of their products, especially if we talk about the quality-price ratio.\u00a0Since they announced their foray into the television market, we have been waiting to learn more about the models they have released.\u00a0We have already reviewed a television that left us very satisfied in terms of features.\u00a0Today we will talk about the\u00a0Xiaomi TV P1E 55,\u00a0an option that seems ideal for the current mid-range.\u00a0However, we will see both the advantages and disadvantages that are offered.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the Xiaomi Smart TV P1 55<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

We have an interesting design that stands out for delivering a slimmer appearance than what is commonly seen<\/p>\n

The televisions in this category do not stand out precisely for offering a great design, however, the\u00a0Xiaomi Smart TV P1 55\u00a0gives us a striking appearance, especially for offering a finer style.\u00a0In addition, we are talking about the 55-inch version, ideal for medium-sized rooms.<\/p>\n

Here we recommend you purchase the VESA support that makes it easier for us to install, although it is best to position it directly on the wall,\u00a0so we can enjoy its front that seems to us the most attractive\u00a0, especially for its thin bezels that generate a more elegant and eye-catching environment.<\/p>\n

We also point out that the chassis of the television is black, a color that combines quite well with any environment, so the integration will be more precise.\u00a0The rear, unlike other models, has a better design\u00a0, especially because it eliminates all the bulkier spaces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So we get a slim TV that can fit almost anywhere,\u00a0obviously it won’t have a minimalist look\u00a0, however, it defends itself quite well.\u00a0Possibly the least remarkable thing in this section is its construction, which seems to have somewhat weak materials.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

We have a very acceptable connectivity that begins with three\u00a0HDMI\u00a0, which we use to connect external devices such as laptops, consoles and players.\u00a0We also find three\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0that stand out for their content playback and recording function.<\/p>\n

Other physical connections that we find very interesting are its\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port , its\u00a0composite video input\u00a0, its\u00a0audio output\u00a0and its\u00a0headphone jack\u00a0.\u00a0Likewise, we have the most updated and advanced tuners of the moment, for example, the\u00a0DVB-T2\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Wireless connectivity<\/h4>\n

We have a dual-band\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct LED\u00a0connection that ensures a correct internet connection, especially since we do not have to be near the modem to establish said connectivity.\u00a0We also have\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0that is used to connect other external devices.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the Xiaomi TV P1E 55<\/h2>\n

We must accept that the image of the\u00a0Xiaomi TV P1E 55\u00a0seems acceptable to us, since it has a good optimization that ensures a good display in almost any content.\u00a0To begin with,\u00a0we have a 4K resolution that seeks to give us more precise details\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This definition is accompanied by a Direct LED backlight that offers us both positive and negative points, which you should know.\u00a0For example,\u00a0it helps reduce the price of the television considerably\u00a0, which is why this model has an excellent cost.<\/p>\n

Another interesting detail is that we have uniform lighting, here we notice that the colors are more accurate.\u00a0We should not worry too much about energy consumption,\u00a0since this panel does not spend too much\u00a0, therefore, your bill will not be very high for the television.<\/p>\n

However, the disadvantages are also important and we noticed that\u00a0Local Dimming\u00a0is not included , therefore,\u00a0its contrast\u00a0and\u00a0brightness levels are low\u00a0, therefore, when we are in very dark or bright environments, we will notice a considerable loss of quality.<\/p>\n

Enhancement technologies<\/h3>\n

We must bear in mind that this television does not include many enhancement functions, therefore, we must settle for what it offers, however, we have\u00a0MEMC\u00a0that automatically adds artificial frames to content with low speed for greater fluidity.<\/p>\n

So we will receive adequate viewing in action movies or sports.\u00a0Nor should we forget that\u00a0HDR\u00a0is available, a technology that focuses its improvements on contrast and the color palette, yes, its operation will only be noticed with content that is compatible.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Surely the least striking thing about this television is its audio quality, since we only have\u00a020W\u00a0that is transmitted through its two speakers.\u00a0In addition, we are going to enjoy technologies such as\u00a0Dolby Audio\u00a0and\u00a0DTS HD\u00a0that seek to provide a more immersive and clean experience.\u00a0However, for more demanding content it will not be enough.\u00a0The only solution will be to purchase an external soundbar.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

We have Android TV, an excellent system that has great features for your entertainment<\/p>\n

Another attraction of the\u00a0Xiaomi<\/a> Smart TV P1 55\u00a0is that it has Android TV that offers us the most extensive catalog of applications that currently exists, since we can install more than 5,000 options,\u00a0obviously the most popular will be available\u00a0, yes, not all they are functional.<\/p>\n

As if that were not enough, we can also download movies, music and games to enjoy on the TV.\u00a0Likewise, we find compatibility with\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0that allows us to carry out voice commands.\u00a0With\u00a0Chromecast built-in\u00a0we can transmit from our Smartphone.<\/p>\n
