Compare: XIAOMI A PRO 2025 vs LG QNED91T6A

Xiaomi A Pro 2025 is an affordable QLED model that works well as a basic television in the home. The Google TV operating system deserves attention. Thanks to it, one can easily use apps like Netflix and YouTube. The interface is clear and user-friendly, and the ability to search by voice in Polish allows for quick access to content of interest. The picture on the A Pro 2025 is sufficient for everyday television watching or film viewing. Smooth tonal transitions and the enhancement of older materials make even lower resolution content look good. However, the screen brightness may disappoint in very sunny rooms – here the television performs mediocrely, but it fares much better in a dimly lit room. The television is rather suitable for occasional gaming. Low input lag ensures quick response, which is important for dynamic games. However, the 60 Hz panel and lack of more advanced features may not appeal to gamers seeking perfect image fluidity. On the other hand, A Pro 2025 may be sufficient for those who play from time to time. Not everything works perfectly. When connecting the television to a computer, the fonts are difficult to read, which can hinder text work. The Google TV system itself can be a bit slow, which sometimes complicates the quick switching of applications. Xiaomi A Pro 2025 is a simple and functional television that is suitable for daily television viewing and using apps. It has its flaws, such as average brightness and font readability issues, but at this price, it offers quite a lot. It is a good choice for those looking for budget equipment for basic uses.

LG QNED91T is the only MiniLED backlit television from LG for 2024, attracting attention due to its innovative use of a VA panel. This is a certain departure from the previous standards of the Korean manufacturer in its top LCD televisions, which usually featured an IPS/ADS panel. However, the effect is positive – the panel combined with local dimming offers really good contrast. The blacks are deep and should satisfy most users. LG 65QNED91T6A is truly a bright television, so placing it in somewhat challenging lighting conditions will not pose a challenge for it. In terms of motion fluidity, the QNED91T shows top class. The TruMotion feature works excellently, allowing for adjustment of the image to personal preferences – from classic, cinematic looks to a smoother effect. And the 120Hz panel makes it ideal equipment for sports or gaming. For the latter, LG has prepared something special – four full HDMI 2.1 ports with a bandwidth of 48 Gbps, allowing you to enjoy features like VRR and ALLM (among others). This, combined with low input lag, makes this equipment an excellent choice for gaming on console or PC. Everyday use of QNED91T is pure pleasure, mainly thanks to the WebOS system. The interface is intuitive, there are plenty of applications available, and the included Magic Remote control significantly facilitates navigation through the menu. The operation is quick, and using the television is comfortable thanks to the voice assistant. Unfortunately, the television also has its drawbacks. Despite the advantages of the VA panel in terms of high contrast, the algorithms responsible for local dimming of the miniLED zones do not perform their best. In HDR content, there are situations where the image is either too bright or excessively dark, which is particularly troublesome in scenes requiring precision. Additionally, in practice, the differences between standard HDR10 and Dolby Vision are almost imperceptible. This is a significant disappointment, especially in this class of television. Nevertheless, the LG QNED91T is an interesting choice for those who need a high-brightness television with considerable gaming capabilities and value the convenience of the WebOS system. If image quality in HDR content, such as Netflix, Prime Video, or Max, is a priority, we recommend considering alternative models, for example, OLED B4 from the 2024 line, which can be purchased for a similar price.

Xiaomi A Pro is equipped with a VA matrix, which inherently offers significantly better black depth and colour intensity compared to IPS panels, especially in dimly lit conditions. Based on the conducted tests, the contrast measurement tool indicated a maximum value of around 6000:1. This is a solid result, ensuring good separation of image elements in darker scenes. An example can be the film Oblivion, where the television performed excellently in separating light and dark areas, enhancing the visual effects. Unfortunately, the television does not support local dimming technology, which is an obvious fact in this price range. This becomes particularly evident in more challenging scenes, such as those from the film Sicario 2. In such moments, the black loses intensity and starts to resemble a rather navy shade. The lack of dynamic dimming of image segments causes details that should be deeply darkened to remain slightly illuminated.

QNED91T is a television with MiniLED backlighting, and in the tested size of 65", we noted 160 zones of backlighting. The specimen we tested, with the "1" suffix at the end, was equipped with a VA panel, which offers significantly better contrast than IPS panels, which - note - can be found in the LG QNED90T. Therefore, it is worth being cautious when choosing a version to avoid disappointment in terms of contrast. The model QNED90T is rather difficult to acquire in Poland, but distribution can vary. Returning to our contrast tests, it performed really well in less demanding scenes. For example, in one scene from the film "Oblivion", we observed perfect light separation - it looked impressive. However, not everything is so straightforward. In a scene from "Sicario 2", we noticed that the screen was noticeably darker, significantly deviating from the reference image appearance. The television effectively eliminates the halo effect (i.e., the glow around objects), but this comes at the cost of brightness - and quite a substantial one. Despite these compromises, the contrast of the LG 65QNED91T6A is really solid. Of course, as is the case with MiniLED televisions, one must reckon with certain limitations, but the overall impressions are very positive.

In the HDR category, the television Xiaomi A Pro is, to put it plainly, lacking. Under ideal conditions, it offers brightness at around 250 nits. This is a poor result; however, in this price range, many competing models offer similar or lower values. Such brightness is too low to fully realise the potential of HDR content. In practice, this means that the image does not gain the appropriate depth and intensity expected from high-quality HDR. These values are more characteristic of standard dynamic range (SDR), which means that the true HDR effect remains beyond the reach of this model, and scenes that should stand out with spectacular brightness and contrast seem flat and lacklustre. However, for its price, the television offers good coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut at 92%, thanks to the use of quantum dot technology (specifically PFS LED). This results in vibrant and saturated colours, which will appeal particularly to gamers and film enthusiasts who appreciate richer shades and better colour reproduction compared to traditional televisions without this technology.

As befits a MiniLED television, LG QNED91T easily surpasses the magical barrier of 1000 nits on the luminance chart. In scenes where light played a key role, the effect was truly decent. For instance, 1000 nits in the first scene of "Life of Pi" is an impressive value, and the 600 nits achieved in the third and fifth scenes allowed one to feel the true magic of HDR. However, problems arise with very small light elements on the screen, such as the moon, street lamps, or lights. A value around 100 nits - to put it bluntly - is disappointing, as these elements are dark enough to be barely visible. The television deserves praise for covering 96% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut and 75% of BT.2020. LG QNED91T leaves us with very mixed feelings, mainly due to the very aggressive dimming algorithms, which, while effectively eliminating the halo effect, negatively impact the brightness of smaller elements.

The Xiaomi A Pro 2025 television has been tested in movie mode, which offers the best colour reproduction straight out of the box. However, it is worth noting that it is not free from flaws. Analysing the white balance, it can be observed that the values for green are in the negative. This phenomenon leads to some distortions in the shades of white, and with pure white, the graph shows clear deviations. The over-contrasted image results in inappropriate tonal transitions in red, negatively affecting the quality of colour display. Generally, in the image below, it can be seen that the overall scenery before calibration acquires pink hues. Additionally, when analysing gamma contrast, the graph is significantly below the 2.4 value, suggesting that the television overly emphasises dark tones, and the brighter areas of the image may be less vivid. Furthermore, the EOTF curve shows a strong peak at the beginning, which can lead to a loss of detail in bright scenes and an unpleasant feeling of over-drawing. These aspects indicate a need for further calibration to achieve a more balanced colour reproduction and improve the overall image quality. Users who expect precise colour reproduction may be forced to take measures to adjust the television settings to achieve more realistic and natural visual results. In the xiaomi tv a pro 2025, the factory colour settings in Xiaomi are average and may require calibration. After proper colour adjustment, the image gains a natural and vibrant colour palette, much closer to cinematic standards. It is worth adding that the issue of inaccurate colour reproduction is typical for many televisions in this class, meaning it is not a flaw unique to the Xiaomi A Pro 2025 TV. For those who value perfect colour reproduction, professional calibration will prove to be a key element that enhances the overall image quality.

All our tests are conducted in the best picture mode on each television. In this case, as usual, it is the Filmmaker mode. The name of the mode suggests ideal colour reproduction; however, there were noticeable deviations from the correct image here. Our unit, in terms of white balance, displayed quite a strong dip in blue hues - both in SDR and 4K HDR content - which resulted in a distinct yellowing of the image, visible in comparison scenes from the film with Tom Cruise. As we mentioned earlier, QNED91T has certain tendencies to brighten the screen. This is confirmed by gamma, which is quite significantly below the reference value of 2.4. Meanwhile, the EOTF curve, responsible for brightness in 4K content, showed some issues with the television's dimming in the darkest areas, which we could observe in the paragraph describing the quality of the HDR effect. Although the Filmmaker mode is quite a good "out-of-the-box" mode, it too requires some adjustments.

Now it's time to check how the Xiaomi A Pro 2025 television has performed after calibration. The biggest beneficiary of this process is the white balance. After the calibration was conducted, all previous errors were corrected in both HD and 4K content, and most errors no longer fall significantly outside the value of "2". This means a much more balanced and natural colour representation, which certainly affects the viewing comfort. In terms of gamma, the drop was significantly reduced, resulting in a more consistent tonal representation across various scenes. Nevertheless, the EOTF curve has not been significantly improved due to a lack of effective control over dynamic tone mapping. This limitation means that there are still some issues with detail reproduction in bright scenes, which may affect the perception of certain materials. However, despite these minor shortcomings, the overall shape of the image is definitely better after calibration. The television has gained in quality, and the improved white balance along with reduced gamma issues allows users to enjoy a more realistic and pleasant visual experience. Further adjustment of settings may enhance image quality even more, but even now the television demonstrates its capabilities, meeting the expectations of many users.

LG offers advanced calibration tools in its televisions such as 65QNED91T6A, which we utilised. When it comes to white balance, we were able to significantly correct it in SDR content. The picture mode in 4K HDR quality posed greater challenges, which, although still not perfect, looks significantly better than before calibration. Errors on the Color Checker palette and colour gamut are much smaller than in the factory settings. Regarding brightness characteristics, gamma for HD content is practically ideal, with a slight exception at the end of the graph. However, the television had the most trouble with brightness in 4K HDR content. Analyzing the EOTF characteristics in films, we observed that the television manipulates brightness quite heavily, which we could see in previous tests. Brightness is significantly boosted compared to the graph in the static test, and the television lights up certain scenes to the point that some smaller elements lose detail. This is unfortunately caused by the average backlight zone management algorithm in this model. Nevertheless, calibration yields quite good results, especially when it comes to the precise reproduction of colours.

During the fluidity tests of tonal transitions on the Xiaomi A Pro 2025, the gradation proved to be close to perfect. In most of the test sequences, there were no noticeable issues. Only in the scene with red water did very cosmetic imperfections appear, which, however, have little impact on the overall image quality. Both colourful and grey gradients were reproduced with almost perfect precision, making this television model a very good choice for those who pay attention to this particular feature of a TV.

The gradation on the LG QNED91T looks very good. There are only slight cut-offs in the brightest scenes, but the television handles the black levels very well, ensuring smooth tonal transitions. As a result, the picture is natural and pleasant to the eye, without any visible issues.

How does the Xiaomi A Pro 2025 television cope with tonal transitions, especially with lower-quality materials? Thanks to advanced digital processing, the colour contour removal function works surprisingly well. We recommend setting this option to "Medium" – the television significantly improves the fluidity of tonal transitions while avoiding excessive smoothing of other image elements, such as film grain.

In the case of the tested image featuring a model and numerous branches in the background, the Xiaomi A Pro 2025 showcased its capabilities in terms of digital processing. Adding artificial sharpness to this scene made the details of the model more pronounced, and her hair appeared more detailed. However, delicate contours appeared around the branches in the background, which were a result of digital interference. Although this enhances the overall impression of detail, excessive sharpness can make some elements of the image seem unnaturally emphasised.

When it comes to tonal transitions in lower quality materials, the television offers a well-known feature from LG televisions - "Smooth Gradation". We can control it in three levels: low, medium, and high. We recommend using the medium option, as it does a good job of removing tonal transitions without causing noticeable problems with the removal of object structure or other artefacts.

As for image scaling (upscaling), LG's Alpha processor performs quite well in this regard. The image appears very plastic, with slight aliasing on some elements, which does not significantly affect the quality. It looks really okay, and the overall effect is very satisfactory.

Xiaomi A Pro 2025 offers a motion smoothing feature called "Motion Smoothing," which primarily works in films. It can be adjusted to prefer either a more cinematic, film-like effect with visible frames, or a smoother, theatre-like image. This function should satisfy those who intend to watch mainly films on it. However, gamers and sports fans may feel disappointed. The 60 Hz refresh rate panel, typical in this price range, does not impress. Our "Ufo" test revealed some motion blur. Those expecting better sharpness of moving objects may be slightly let down.

The television has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which should satisfy most users in terms of motion smoothness. Additionally, QNED91T is equipped with the TruMotion feature, which allows for smoother image display in films. Within this feature, we can adjust the "De-Judder" and "De-Blur" sliders. The "De-Judder" slider is responsible for reducing judder in films, which is particularly useful when playing content with a lower frame rate, while "De-Blur" helps to reduce blur in fast scenes, which is important for sports or dynamic shots.

Xiaomi A Pro 2025 offers several features useful for gamers, including Game Bar, which is different from the typical "dashboards" with interfaces found in other manufacturers' products. Thanks to this, users can quickly access game-related settings, which is convenient during intense sessions. The TV also supports Automatic Low Latency Mode (ALLM), meaning it automatically switches to a mode optimised for gaming, reducing signal latency. Unfortunately, it lacks support for HDMI 2.1, limiting its capabilities for connecting the latest gaming consoles that may require higher bandwidth. Additionally, the TV does not support features such as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) or G-Sync, which are increasingly desired by gamers, as they allow for smoother visuals and eliminate tearing. For these reasons, although Xiaomi A Pro 2025 has some features for gamers, in this price range, better options can be found that offer more advanced solutions dedicated to gamers.

The LG 65QNED91T6A television is equipped with HDMI 2.1 ports with full bandwidth of 48 Gb/s, providing full support for all the standards needed for gaming on modern consoles. We can count on variable refresh rate (VRR) support and automatic low latency mode (ALLM). This ensures smooth gameplay without delays.

Thanks to support for all popular HDR standards in games, such as HGiG and Dolby Vision, we can fully utilise the potential of the PS5 and XBOX One consoles. The television also handles lower resolutions than 4K without any issues, so even older consoles look good on it. The Game Bar makes it easy to access gaming-related settings, allowing us to quickly and intuitively adjust picture parameters and features for gamers. Additionally, the QNED91T offers the NVIDIA GeForce Now feature, which allows us to play in the cloud without needing a console. However, it should be noted that this solution is quite costly and somewhat falls short of the Xbox Game Pass, which is available only on Samsung televisions.

QNED91T LG is an excellent choice for both less experienced and more advanced gamers looking for a versatile television for gaming.

Xiaomi A Pro 2025 achieves remarkable results, regardless of the resolution or HDR mode. With measurements at just 15 ms, this television ranks among the top in terms of responsiveness.

The input lag on QNED91T is really very low, even in Dolby Vision mode. This means we can rely on a fast response time, which is very important in dynamic games where every millisecond counts. Regardless of whether we are playing in standard mode or HDR, the television offers very good results that will satisfy even the most demanding gamers.

In the category of cooperation with PC, Xiaomi A Pro 2025 performs very poorly. The fonts are of low quality, and their display on the screen is often problematic. Dithering is ubiquitous; when the fonts are enlarged on a dark background, they are displayed in three colours, which is definitely glaring and can significantly hinder comfortable use of the device. Such problems can be a significant downside for users who plan to use the television as a computer monitor.

When it comes to gaming on a computer, LG QNED91T easily synchronises with NVIDIA graphics cards and supports G-Sync functionality. The very low input lag makes gaming on a personal computer truly enjoyable. The television supports chroma 4:4:4, which provides excellent text readability. Although we noticed slight blurring of fonts around the edges, overall the image looks very good, and readability is at an acceptable level.

In the category of viewing angles, Xiaomi A Pro 2025 with a VA panel performs quite poorly. Although you can enjoy better blacks when viewed head-on, from side perspectives, the image loses quality. Our specialists noticed during the testing of the television that sitting a metre away from the device, the image on the right side appeared brightened and desaturated. However, moving a bit to the side improves everything, which demonstrates the significant difference in image reception depending on the viewing angle. All of this means that the experience of watching in a larger group may be less satisfying.

As we mentioned in the paragraph about contrast, the television is equipped with a VA panel, which generally offers very good contrast compared to IPS panels. Unfortunately, VA panels have their weakness in the form of limited viewing angles, a weakness that is also evident in the case of QNED91T LG. The viewing angles here are not the best, and although the use of an angle-expanding coating could significantly improve the situation, unfortunately, it is not present here. As a result, the picture loses quality when viewed from a larger angle, which can be problematic when there are multiple people watching at the same time.

Xiaomi A Pro 2025 presents itself as average. The panel coating is satin, which may help reduce reflections, but the suppression of glare is average. The brightness of the television is only 250 nits, which is a relatively low result compared to other models on the market. As a result, on sunny days or in brightly lit rooms, the picture quality may suffer, and details may be difficult to perceive.

The LG 65QNED91T6A television is equipped with a satin panel, which performs moderately with direct reflections of light, such as from lamps or wall lights. In the first test photo with a large lamp, you can see how the reflection "spreads across the screen". However, the QNED91T makes up for this in terms of brightness - the average SDR brightness of 580 cd/m² is sufficient for watching television even in more challenging lighting conditions. As a result, despite the issues with reflections, the television performs well during the day.

In terms of functionality, Xiaomi A Pro 2025 stands out with the Google TV system, which is one of its biggest advantages. This allows users access to a wide range of apps and streaming services, greatly enhancing the convenience of using the television. The Google TV system also offers a voice assistant that simplifies navigation and allows for quick content searches without the need to browse through menus. One of the key benefits of this system is the ability to download virtually unlimited applications from the Google Play Store, enabling users to personalise the television according to their individual needs. Users can install streaming apps, games, and various tools, making the television a multimedia entertainment hub. However, it is worth noting that this model does not have recording functions or AirPlay, which may be disappointing for some users. Additionally, there are quite significant lags in the operating system, affecting user experience. On the plus side, it is also possible to pair other peripheral devices via Bluetooth, and the remote control does not require aiming at the screen, which significantly improves usability. Despite some shortcomings, Xiaomi A Pro 2025 has the potential to satisfy the needs of users looking for a modern television.

The most important thing in today's televisions, besides picture quality, is the operating system. The one available in LG models is really very good. Of course, we are talking about the WebOS system, which offers most of the popular applications available in Poland, similar to GoogleTV. What sets this system apart is primarily the excellent remote control with an accelerometer - the Magic Remote, which resembles a magic wand. Controlling with this remote is incredibly convenient. Additionally, the television offers a very good voice assistant that understands Polish perfectly.

In terms of user functions, the television offers practically everything one could desire. Here we find the ability to record programmes from built-in tuners, support for AirPlay to connect an iPhone, and a mirroring function. We can easily connect keyboards, mice, or headphones, although keyboards are not essential thanks to the convenient Magic Remote. Unfortunately, it lacks the PiP (Picture-in-Picture) function, but this is such a specific feature that only those who truly need it will feel its absence. The QNED91T is a television that does not disappoint when it comes to daily enjoyment of its use.

Xiaomi A Pro 2025 offers a decent built-in media player that meets basic user expectations. However, the television has its drawbacks and sometimes encounters issues with playing certain file formats, which can be frustrating. Fortunately, with access to the Google Play Store, users can easily download alternative players that better meet their needs. In our test of the Xiaomi TV A Pro 2025, we demonstrated that its compatibility with applications is high, and additional media playback apps work flawlessly. It is also worth noting that the Xiaomi TV A Pro 2025 is equipped with the Android TV platform, allowing access to a wide range of applications and streaming services. Installing alternative media players improves the overall functionality of the device and eliminates compatibility issues with formats. As a result, the Xiaomi A Pro becomes a more versatile television that can meet the diverse expectations of users, even those with higher demands when it comes to media playback.

The built-in player in QNED91T should satisfy most users. It easily handles Polish characters and plays films with subtitles from external drives. The player will also cope with most audio and photo formats, except for Apple HEIC files.

When it comes to sound, Xiaomi A Pro 2025 is impressively positive, especially considering its price. The sound quality is truly solid, and the audio does not deviate from what one would expect in this class. Additionally, the television supports DTS audio formats, which are often lacking in much more expensive TVs. It is worth noting that this assessment is subjective and may vary depending on individual preferences.

LG QNED91T is equipped with a set of 4 speakers in a 2.2 configuration with a total power of 40W. The television sounds quite pleasant, and the subtle bass is noticeable. Of course, it is not at the level of an external audio system, such as a soundbar or home cinema, but it is sufficient for everyday use. It is also worth praising the support for audio formats DTS:X and Dolby Atmos, which significantly enhance the quality of sound experiences.
