The Xiaomi A Pro 2025 is a device that caters to the needs of many basic users. As one of the most affordable QLED TVs available, it offers a good balance between price and quality. One of its standout features is the Google TV system, which provides seamless access to a variety of apps and multimedia content. The intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate popular streaming platforms such as Netflix and YouTube. Voice control in Polish adds further convenience, allowing users to issue commands without manually navigating menus. The completely wireless remote enhances usability, removing the need to aim directly at the TV.
In terms of picture quality, the TV delivers solid performance for everyday viewing. It handles tonal transitions smoothly and processes lower-quality materials effectively, resulting in a pleasing image for standard television programmes. However, its limited brightness may affect performance in brightly lit environments—an expected compromise in this price range. The inclusion of a basic motion smoother allows for adjustable fluidity in movies and series, making it suitable for less demanding viewers in terms of motion handling.
That said, the TV’s 60 Hz panel and lack of advanced features may limit its appeal for those seeking higher performance. Its low input lag will appeal to occasional gamers, but the device falls short for PC connectivity due to poor font clarity, which makes text work less enjoyable. Additionally, while the operating system offers extensive functionality, its responsiveness could be better.
Despite these shortcomings, the Xiaomi A Pro 2025 remains a compelling choice for budget-conscious users seeking an affordable QLED TV with practical features and reliable performance for basic applications.
At first glance, it's clear that the TCL A300 NXTVision wants to be more than just an ordinary television. It offers an image display mode that – unlike its competitors from Korea, Samsung The Frame – is completely free of charge. Additionally, like its rivals, freebies are included. In the package, in addition to the television, we find extra frames imitating light wood as well as a flat wall mount, allowing the television to truly resemble a gallery piece. In terms of everyday use, the Google TV system makes the biggest impression – it's extensive, fast, and offers access to a vast number of applications. And if we feel like stepping out of the digital museum and jumping straight into the gaming world, the A300 can surprise us. Two HDMI 2.1 ports, 144 Hz, VRR, ALLM, and very low input lag mean that even demanding gamers can feel at home here. Well... maybe except for those who are sensitive to ghosting – because that's still one of the model's major issues. There are also downsides. Although the picture mode is free – and that's worth appreciating – the quality of the available graphics clearly falls short of what Samsung offers in its paid ART Store. The images displayed resemble photos rather than realistic reproductions of artworks. Unfortunately, the A300 – like the competing Hisense S7NQ – performs poorly in this regard and additionally has some software issues. The brightness of the television itself also leaves much to be desired – it is the darkest television of the entire “frame trio,” which translates to average experiences during the day and limited HDR effects. Nevertheless, the TCL A300 NXTVision is a quite reasonable alternative to Samsung The Frame or S7NQ – especially if we are looking for a more affordable solution without additional fees for access to the "gallery" mode and with an operating system that doesn't limit us in terms of the number of applications. However, it should be noted that this is a proposition with a lot of compromises. If we want to save a bit and aren’t expecting top-end picture quality, then the A300 could be a picture-perfect choice. Otherwise, it’s worth looking at its competition.
