The premium television market has been dominated for years by the same well-established players. However, alongside them, there are regularly emerging contenders who attempt to redefine the concept of "affordability." Xiaomi has long been a part of the latter group, and their latest offering – the S Pro 2026 series – is meant to be the crowning proof of this. On paper, the specifications look impressive: advanced Mini LED backlighting with thousands of dimming zones, a 144 Hz panel supporting the latest consoles, and a powerful processor for handling Google TV. All of this is packaged at a price that traditionally aims to embarrass the competition. The question is whether it will succeed? We check this for you in this review!

XIAOMI TV S PRO 2026 - Our verdict

7.2

Overall rating

Is it worth buying the Xiaomi S Pro 2026? The answer to this question is quite complicated. Let's start with what's really great about this TV. First of all, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 has an excellent price-to-performance ratio. We get a Mini LED panel with very high brightness, which handles well in a sunlit living room. Additionally, it has a fast 144 Hz (or even 288 Hz) display and a complete package for gamers: two HDMI 2.1 ports, support for VRR, and an impressively low input lag (under 10 ms). If we mainly watch "regular" content and play games, this is truly a fantastic screen. Even the built-in 30W speakers are surprisingly good and support Dolby Atmos. Unfortunately, there’s also a second, very problematic side to this model. In short: the software. We have the impression that Xiaomi has given us great "parts," but couldn't get them to work together correctly. The biggest problem is the HDR mode – the main reason one buys a TV today. For unknown reasons, the TV in HDR mode (HDR10, Dolby Vision) does not manage its dimming zones well. As a result, the black, which should be deep, becomes gray or bluish like in a regular LCD TV. There are also other software issues, such as the terrible implementation of HGiG or the fact that the Dolby Vision mode for gamers is useless due to enormous input lag (100 ms). Furthermore, the TV's capability for digital image processing is very poor. So how do we summarize this in terms of price? In its price class, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 crushes the competition in terms of specifications. Other TVs for this money are usually simple LCD models without dimming, often only with a 60 Hz panel. The question then is: what is more important to you? If you are simply looking for a very bright and cheap TV for watching television during the day and gaming, and you are willing to calibrate it – you will be very satisfied with it. However, if you are looking for a TV to enjoy spectacular HDR in movies and games straight out of the box, you will be terribly disappointed with this model. In this case, in our opinion, it is better to pay a little more for a basic OLED TV or a more refined Mini-LED model from the competition.

It must be admitted that in terms of design, Xiaomi has undergone a kind of "glow-up" this year compared to last year's models. The television has been made with great care, especially when we consider how often devices in the same price range look. The S Pro 2026 stands on solid metal legs that provide the entire structure with good stability. The frame around the screen is really slim, giving the device a modern appearance. On the body, we also find a few decorative touches. On the front, on the lower silver-gray frame, there is branding from Harman Kardon, suggesting that the speakers have been tuned in collaboration with this American company. Likewise, on the side of the device, we find a discreet Xiaomi logo along with the "Mini LED" logo. We must also praise the back of the device. The "back" of the television, although plastic and quite thick, has been very well designed. It has special embossing and channels for cables, allowing us to route and hide them aesthetically so they do not stick out messily from the side. And although the S Pro 2026 may not be a premium device, it is clear that the designers' concept for this equipment was quite interesting and unique.

Review Xiaomi S Pro 2026 Visibility of details in the lights

Let's get to the point, which is what is most important in the Mini LED panel: black levels and contrast. The Xiaomi S Pro 2026 is built on a VA matrix, which right from the start promises deep blacks. Let's add to that Mini LED backlighting with a very large number of local dimming zones. In the 65-inch variant we tested, we counted as many as 532 of them. That's a solid number that should provide precise control over the backlighting. It should be noted that this number is proportional to the size—choosing the smaller 55-inch variant will result in correspondingly fewer zones, while larger models will have more.

So, how does the black level perform on the S Pro 2026? The answer is complex.

Generally, it's really not bad, and we see a clear improvement compared to the problematic model from 2025. As you can see in our measurement charts, the results are occasionally spectacular. In most of the film scenes we measured in SDR (standard dynamic range), the contrast could be confidently described as very good and even comparable to constructions three times more expensive. Well, it could be... and this brings us to the paradox of this model. The problem lies in how the TV manages zones in scenarios other than SDR. As soon as we feed the TV a higher quality signal, such as an HDR series or Dolby Vision from streaming platforms (Netflix, HBO Max, or Disney+), something strange happens. We have an overwhelming impression that the TV suddenly... forgets that it was equipped with local dimming zones at all. As shown in our video below, the black in such scenes resembles more shades of dark gray or navy blue. On top of that, there's a slight flickering of the entire screen. This is the level one would expect from TVs completely devoid of a local dimming system. It seems that Xiaomi decided to fix one, but crucial flaw of last year's 2025 model over the year. And they succeeded – we no longer have the annoying "zone disco," and the picture is stable. It's just a pity that when consuming top-quality content (HDR), the whole advanced system becomes completely useless.

When it comes to HDR quality, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 is undoubtedly a really bright TV. On our synthetic measurement charts, we were able to generate a peak brightness of around 1400 nits. This is not only a very good result but even spectacular, considering the price of this model. However, as we always repeat, for our editorial team, measurements and experiences from the content we watch every day—movies and series—are more important. So let's analyze how Xiaomi handles film material. Unfortunately, the result is somewhat mixed. When very bright scenes appear on the screen, the S Pro 2026 truly shows its full potential and can achieve real brightness of 800-1000 nits on bright elements. Moreover, even smaller objects can "burn" the eyes— in scenes from the movie Sicario 2, small metallic elements of the helicopter were really bright. The problem is this—and here the story comes full circle back to our assessment of contrast—that in such scenes, we cannot count on absolutely cinematic black. In our opinion, this compromise is too significant; high visibility of details in bright areas should not come at the expense of such a substantial boost in black levels. And even though the HDR effect itself can be striking here, it is important to remember that when very difficult, mixed scenes appear on the screen, we may feel a slight disappointment. Exactly the one we mentioned in the previous paragraph regarding dimming issues in HDR mode. On a positive note, it is worth adding that the S Pro 2026 is equipped with an additional PFS filter (which works similarly to a QLED layer), effectively broadening the color palette coverage. As a result, measurements showed a DCI-P3 color gamut coverage of up to 94%. This gives us the confidence that in most colorful scenes, the image will look rich and appropriately saturated.

Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)

Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)

The photos show two HDR10 movies. 'Pan' is one of the brightest productions ever made, while 'Billy Lynn' (soldier) has brightness typical of streaming (Netflix, Prime, HBO MAX). Notice the intensity of effects and detail in whites.

How does the S Pro 2026 handle adapting images to HDR10 content, that is, what's known as "tone mapping"? We must admit that for those most popular contents mastered to 1000 nits – which are the types we most commonly encounter on streaming platforms – the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 looks really very good. When we turned on the test scene from the movie Billy Lynn, it became clear that the television practically does not need to "adapt" to it. Its native brightness can easily generate such a high level, making the content look simply great without noticeable compromises. (Well, maybe aside from a slightly departing color rendition). The situation is a bit worse with the most demanding films, mastered to 4000 nits or more. Analyzing the reference scene from the movie "The Master," we noticed that very bright elements, such as the sun's disc in a colorful sky, can seem slightly "blended" into one spot. It is clear that under such extreme conditions, the television's algorithms do not always perfectly map the brightest details, losing some information in the highlights. Nevertheless, it must be fairly summarized that in those most popular, everyday HDR productions, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 definitely "holds up" and can be appealing.

Fortunately, in the case of the Xiaomi S Pro 2026, we don't have to worry too much about its standalone tone mapping in HDR10. This is because the television is equipped with support for dynamic metadata in the form of Dolby Vision. This is crucial as this format is found on virtually every leading streaming platform. Thanks to the dynamic metadata from Dolby, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 can handle even extremely bright scenes with ease. The Dolby Vision algorithm "guides" the television hand in hand, scene by scene, so we don't have to fear that most details in the highlights will simply be lost. Of course, it should be noted that even here the implementation of Dolby Vision doesn't look as spectacular as on the best flagship screens on the market. Nevertheless, we have no doubt that in its price class it really "holds its own" and is a huge added value of this model.

Of course, we conducted all our measurements in "Film" mode, which is usually the best and most accurate choice you get straight out of the box. And we have to say it bluntly: even though this is the best mode, it is still very far from ideal. First of all, the television has a clear tendency to give the image a cool, bluish tint – this is due to a poorly set white balance. Additionally, there is a problem with how the S Pro 2026 manages its brightness right after being taken out of the box, which results in an overly bright image. These two flaws contribute to really huge colorimetric errors (Delta E). In HDR content, they were able to exceed our expected error scale of "10" (meaning values close to 20). For reference – the threshold of perceivable error by the human eye is a Delta E value of around 3. Results at the level of 20 mean that the image significantly deviates from what the director intended.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.2/10

So how does the S Pro 2026 perform after our calibration treatment? We must admit that after calibration, the television becomes a really pleasant device for watching everyday content. As you can see in the graphs, we managed to bring both white balance and gamma values to nearly perfection in HD (SDR) material. Most importantly, the colorimetric errors have become practically invisible to the human eye. In this scenario, the S Pro 2026 is simply a great television that, after professional calibration, can provide a lot of enjoyment while watching. However, it is worth noting clearly – our efforts helped little in 4K HDR mode. Despite calibration, the television still interprets the image rather strongly "in its own way," which is clearly seen in the measurement of the EOTF curve (luminance tracking). It's a bit of a shame, because this shows that the problem lies not in the panel itself, but in the software. Underdeveloped image management algorithms in HDR content can, unfortunately, disqualify this television for many more discerning users.

XIAOMI TV S PRO 2026 - Smoothness of tonal transitions

6.9/10

Let’s now move on to the analysis of tonal transitions, meaning the fluidity with which the television can render transitions between closely related shades. In the case of the Xiaomi S Pro 2026, the image that emerges from this is extremely dichotomous. On one hand, we have bright gradations. When scenes with blue skies or other smooth transitions in the bright parts of the image appear on the screen, the S Pro 2026 handles them excellently. They look perfectly smooth, without any visible artifacts.

Unfortunately, the situation changes drastically as soon as dark scenes take over the screen. To put it bluntly – they look really poor. Instead of a smooth tonal transition in the dark, the joins of colors and unsightly "stepping" of gradients are very clearly visible on the screen. In darker films or games, this is very noticeable and can effectively ruin the viewing experience.

OK Smooth transition function

No Image without overscan on the SD signal

The match photo shows how the TV smooths weak tonal transitions in low-quality video. The model photo shows how it handles upscaling of SD material.

Let's start with the issue we addressed in the previous paragraph: can a TV even fix the problem of poor tonal transitions in dark scenes? Theoretically, yes – in the menu, we find a feature with the promising name "Color Contour Removal." Well, "theoretically." Unfortunately, in practice, this setting – regardless of which of the three power levels is selected – yielded absolutely no real results. So we have a feature that, in practice, only exists in the menu. Moving on to the quality of upscaling (scaling the image from a lower resolution to 4K), unfortunately, we have more bad news for you. The S Pro 2026 handles this task very poorly. Interestingly, the phenomenon of "overscan" (slight image cropping) is not a big issue here. The problem is that the TV simply displays a very raw, unprocessed image. Its attempt to upscale the signal to a higher resolution looks simply poor and lacks any "smart" enhancement. There is no denying it – the whole digital image processing is the true Achilles' heel of this model.

On paper, the specification of the S Pro 2026 looks impressive. The television is equipped with a native 144 Hz panel, capable of displaying images up to 288 Hz in a dedicated gaming mode. These are amazing results, but what interested us the most, in the context of everyday use, was how the television handles motion blur and how the image looks at 120 Hz. After all, this is the frequency used today by consoles like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and it is desired by sports fans. Generally speaking, the panel "holds up." The matrix is fast enough to meet these challenges, and objects displayed at native 120Hz fluidity are shown correctly. As for the software, the television is equipped with a motion smoothing system, but with a key caveat – it only works for input signals up to 60 Hz. This means it is mainly suitable for classic television, movies, and series. Thanks to this, we can adjust the fluidity of the image to our own preferences – from a very smooth, "theatrical" approach to setting the slider to "zero" and maintaining a fully cinematic character.

It is worth mentioning about smearing that the S Pro 2026 is equipped with a VA panel. For this reason, it handles smearing in a moderate way. Because despite the fact that the panel has the ability to "refresh" the image at speeds of up to 288 Hz, it must be remembered that the physical capabilities of the pixels themselves (their response time) have their limitations. As a result, a streak behind a quickly moving object may still be slightly visible.

For gamers, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 is, on paper, an almost ideal proposition. It is equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing us to unlock (although these options are somewhat hidden in the menu) the full suite of features: ALLM, VRR, and, crucially, the ability to work in 4K at 144 Hz. This last feature should particularly please owners of powerful PCs. The TV also has something akin to a gaming panel – and while it’s hard to call it a full-fledged "Game Bar," it does its job by displaying key information. It’s just a shame that in its default form, it covers a relatively large part of the screen.

However, our biggest issue with this model concerns how the S Pro 2026 handles gaming in HDR mode. To put it bluntly: it doesn’t handle it well. Due to the poorly implemented HGiG function (the HDR tone mapping standard for games), during the initial HDR calibration on the console, it’s very easy to "blow out" the image. If someone is unaware of this software flaw and follows the on-screen instructions, they will simply set the image incorrectly, with burnt-out details in bright areas. Another major problem is the Dolby Vision mode for gaming. While it does work, it generates such a high input lag that it becomes noticeable in dynamic titles. (All our latency measurements can be checked in the paragraph below). In summary: generally, it’s a really good screen for gamers, but with one small caveat. We would rather avoid HDR mode on it – unless we decide to manually adjust the brightness bar on the console "by eye," completely ignoring the instructions from the console's pictogram.

XIAOMI TV S PRO 2026 - Input lag

8.5/10

We move on to one of the most important measurements for gamers, which is input lag. Overall, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 performs exceptionally well in this regard. Generally, in game mode, the lag is very low. With 120 Hz content (from consoles or PCs), we easily achieved results below 10 ms. These results are truly remarkable and practically imperceptible for most people, even those very sensitive to it. Unfortunately, there is one "but" that poses the greatest issue with this model in gaming. We are talking about the Dolby Vision Gaming mode. When this mode is activated, the input lag rises to an astronomical level of around 100 ms. At such a value, the delay between our movements on the controller (we tested on an Xbox console) and what is displayed on the screen becomes really very large and annoying. Therefore, our recommendation is simple: we absolutely do not recommend using Dolby Vision Gaming mode on this television.

Generally, when it comes to gaming, the S Pro 2026 is a great screen for PC owners. It offers a refresh rate of up to 288 Hz in Full HD resolution or a full 144 Hz in 4K. All of this, supported by technologies like AMD FreeSync and G-Sync, is really a lot for very demanding gamers. And how about "desktop" work? Here we have positive news as well. Although the displayed font may not be perfectly sharp (like on a dedicated PC monitor with an IPS panel), it is presented in a really pleasant and readable way. This is due to the proper implementation of Chroma 4:4:4 sampling, which ensures that text is clear and there are no issues with color fringing.

XIAOMI TV S PRO 2026 - Viewing angles

3.7/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 66%

As for a TV equipped with a VA panel, we must admit that the drop in brightness when viewed at an angle is relatively small in the Xiaomi S Pro 2026. However, it is important to keep in mind a second, key aspect – color saturation degrades significantly at an angle. This is typical behavior for TVs with a VA panel that do not have additional coatings to widen viewing angles. Is this a flaw of this TV? Not really. It is simply a characteristic, the price we have to pay for the key advantages of a VA panel in the form of its high native contrast.

Due to its very high peak brightness, the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 performs really well in brightly lit rooms. In most scenarios, it is able to "break through" even very strong lighting in the room. However, it should be noted that the matrix used here quite poorly suppresses reflections. This means that in darker areas of the image, or when the TV is displaying a dark scene, direct reflections (e.g., the reflection of a window or lamp) can be annoying. Nevertheless, the S Pro 2026, as a TV for a bright living room, performs really well thanks to its powerful brightness.

Operating System (Google TV)

A significant advantage of the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 is undoubtedly the presence of the Google TV system. This gives us access to a massive library of applications – we can find literally everything here, from leading VOD platforms to niche players. The system also offers a multitude of useful features, such as built-in Chromecast, support for AirPlay and Screen Mirroring, and an efficiently working voice search. The Google TV system itself is great, but one must take a slight caution regarding its implementation by Xiaomi. During our tests, it experienced a proverbial "hitch." Animations could lag a bit, and the response to commands wasn't immediate. This is definitely not the level of fluidity that we know from top, significantly more expensive models equipped with more powerful processors.

TV Features and Connectivity

So how does the S Pro 2026 perform as a "conventional" television? Unfortunately, we have less good news here. In terms of classic TV viewing, we can mainly praise this model for having a convenient remote control with a numeric keypad – which (surprisingly) is not a standard today. However, this is where the conveniences end. We won't find either USB recording (PVR) capabilities or PiP (Picture-in-Picture) options. On the plus side, we credit the extensive Bluetooth connectivity options. We had no trouble connecting external devices to the TV, such as wireless headphones, a keyboard, or a mouse, which significantly facilitates operation.

The built-in, default media player in the Xiaomi S Pro 2026 is – given the capabilities of the Google TV system – simply weak. Its biggest drawback is that it does not support characters other than those from the standard alphabet. Consequently, it does not display, among other things, Polish fonts in subtitles or file names. Fortunately, as we mentioned before, the heart of the television is Google TV. This system allows for the instant installation of an external, significantly better player, such as VLC or Kodi. For this television, we recommend installing an alternative player immediately after the first startup.

We must admit that the S Pro 2026 surprised us quite positively. The television is equipped with a 30W speaker system that, for its class, sounds really very good. There is even a noticeable slight hint of bass, and the mid and high tones are quite well balanced. Of course, all of this is within the capabilities provided by the television's speakers, but it is a level we did not expect from such a relatively inexpensive model. A huge plus is also the support for top audio technologies. The television is capable of decoding not only the very popular Dolby Atmos format but also the recently quite rare DTS:X, which we mainly find on Blu-ray discs.
