Xiaomi's new 75‑inch TV S Mini LED 2026 landed in India this week, positioning the brand squarely between budget LED sets and premium OLED panels. At ₹99,999 (about $1,065) the model undercuts the company’s own 75‑inch QLED by a noticeable margin while delivering a larger, slimmer screen. The unit ships with a Mini LED backlight and a thin‑bezel design that feels premium for its price point.

The set uses QD‑Mini LED technology, layering quantum‑dot particles over a dense array of tiny LEDs. That combination yields higher peak brightness, richer color volume and tighter local dimming, which the reviewer says eliminates the blooming common in conventional LEDs during HDR scenes. While OLED still holds the edge on absolute black levels, the Xiaomi panel reaches brightness levels that many OLEDs cannot match, making it a compelling choice for bright rooms.

A single drawback is the 60 Hz native refresh, which forces gamers into a special mode to reach 120 Hz and still falls short of true high‑frame‑rate performance. Otherwise, the TV offers three HDMI inputs—including one eARC—two USB ports, optical out, Ethernet and a 3.5 mm jack, plus adaptive color tuning and a Filmmaker mode for accurate grading. At its price, the S Mini LED 75 demonstrates that Mini LED can deliver near‑OLED quality without the premium cost.
