Dreame, a giant in the market of upright vacuum cleaners and robot vacuums, officially debuts in stores with its TELEVISIONS. The S100 and Q100 models are already on sale, and the brand's strategy is clear: an aggressive price attack while maintaining specifications that cost significantly more with the competition. This is not an accidental move – Xiaomi, a significant shareholder of Dreame, attacked the television market in a similar way some time ago.
Dreame S100: Mini-LED, QLED, 4.1.2 70W
Model S100 is a demonstration of the manufacturer's power in Mini-LED technology. In the most popular 65-inch variant, we receive 160 zones of local dimming. Although this number is not a record, combined with the quantum coating QLED+ (93% coverage of DCI-P3), it is expected to provide solid contrast and saturated colors.
In terms of HDR, Dreame supports practically all current standards. We have support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. The manufacturer does not mention anything about new standards like Dolby Vision 2, focusing on what we actually use today in popular VOD services.
The real showcase of the S100's capabilities might be the audio system. 4.1.2 sound system with 70W power featuring four tweeters and a subwoofer that goes down to 45 Hz is a specification that outclasses most competitors in this price range from the get-go. It's one of the few "cheap" TVs that probably won't require the purchase of a soundbar right away.
For gamers, a 144 Hz (VRR) panel, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and input lag below 10 ms have been prepared. Visually, the equipment refers to the brand’s DNA, as it is finished with characteristic golden accents.
The Dreame S100 model will be available starting February 13 in 2 sizes: 55 and 65 inches. 75" will be available at a later date (date unknown).
Dreame Q100: Google TV and 120Hz?
The Q100 model is a proposal for less demanding users, based on a classic LCD QLED panel without local dimming. This will result in weaker blacks and lower contrast compared to the S100, but the strong point of the device, apart from its low price, remains the Google TV system. This ensures access to all key applications, which is a safe and accurate choice when a new brand enters the market.
The biggest controversy, however, is the issue of refresh rate. Although official specifications and store listings mention native 120 Hz, promotional brochures use the term “120 Hz HSR MEMC”. This suggests software enhancement of fluidity from a base of 60 Hz to 120 Hz (using so-called smoothers). Are we dealing with a truly fast native 120 Hz panel, or is it a marketing trick? The final answer will only come from our tests, which will verify the actual parameters of this panel.
The Dreame Q100 model will be available starting February 13 in 2 sizes: 43 and 55 inches

When are the first tests of TV Dreame?
Dreame enters the game without complexes, offering hardware that theoretically stands on its own on paper. If the quality of the software keeps up with the strong specification (which is often not a given with new Chinese brands), there may be a significant reshuffling in the RTV market. Soon we will check how the S100 and Q100 models perform in practice. Let us know if you would like to see tests of Dreame televisions on our site!
