Review: Xiaomi TV A Pro 2026: Improved 75″ QLED panel, AirPlay 2 and Google TV under 20 thousand!

Xiaomi is coming with another generation of its popular mid-range televisions. The TV A Pro 2026 model promises a number of improvements compared to last year’s version, especially in the area of picture and connectivity. While Korean and Japanese manufacturers don’t have to worry about their positions in the premium ranks, the affordable alternative from the Chinese manufacturer proves once again that you can get a solid television with modern features even at a reasonable price.

Elegantly simple design that doesn’t get in the way

The first thing that struck me about the new A Pro 2026 is the obvious design shift compared to last year’s model. Xiaomi replaced the cheap-looking plastic elements with a combination of metal and quality plastic. The frame with a finely brushed texture looks elegant in my more modern living room.

Thinner bezels than the 2025 model further enhance the so-called «bezel-less» effect – when watching in dim light, you practically see nothing but the image itself, and the Chinese giant has also improved the quality of the bezel. Last year’s model was also fine, but there was a visible gap between the display and the frame, which doesn’t happen with the new generation.

The pair of stands can be placed on the edges of the TV stand, but I personally preferred wall mounting. Count on a standard VESA mount 400 × 300 mm, which you can buy for around 500 CZK, and given the diagonal, definitely bring a helper. Unless you have the arm span of elite MMA fighters, you won’t be able to do it alone.

Picture: good QLED with slightly higher brightness

QLED technology is often just a marketing label, but here the difference compared to basic models is truly visible. The 75″ panel with 4K resolution (3840 × 2160 px) and Quantum Dot technology offers 94% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, which is particularly evident when watching nature documentaries or high-quality film content.

Unlike last year’s model, the color calibration is much more accurate right out of the box. While the A Pro 2025 suffered from slightly oversaturated green and unnatural skin tones, this year’s model has practically eliminated these shortcomings. I tested it on my favorite test scene from the movie Dune (2021), where the desert tones and subtle color transitions reliably expose most cheaper televisions.

As for brightness, it has subjectively improved slightly. Last year’s model with a maximum around 250 – 300 nits was no miracle, and in a brightly lit room, reflectivity was often an issue; this year it’s better. Xiaomi didn’t boast about the official parameter, but I would estimate that the new model shines approximately 100 nits brighter. If you are an HDR enthusiast, don’t expect a big difference; you’ll pay extra for that with extra bright panels (OLED, MiniLED).

Price: from 18,196 CZK

MEMC: Smoothness that doesn’t spoil the cinematic experience

The MEMC motion smoothing technology received a significant upgrade in the 2026 model. While it often felt distracting in last year’s model (I remember the unnatural movement during the Ice Hockey World Championship), the new implementation is much more intelligent.

When watching football, I appreciated the smooth movement of the camera and players without the typical artifacts that MEMC technology usually creates. But beware – for movies, I still recommend turning the function off or setting it to minimum, otherwise you risk turning an epic Blade Runner into a cheap afternoon TV series.

Upscaling: Surprisingly good, but not miraculous

A large screen mercilessly reveals the shortcomings of low-resolution content. Xiaomi’s upscaling algorithm does a decent job with 1080p material (classic HD broadcasting or older movies on streaming services), but standard SD content from DVB-T2 looks pixelated and blurry.

Compared to last year’s model, I didn’t notice a significant improvement – that would likely require the deployment of more advanced AI chips, which would push the price of the television elsewhere.

Sound: Sufficient for casual viewing

Two 10W speakers with Dolby Audio and DTS:X certification are no miracle. The sound is clear and dialogues are intelligible, but deeper tones and dynamic passages lack the necessary «punch».

Comparison with last year’s model brings no major surprise – the sound remains practically identical. For regular news, game shows, or series with a predominance of dialogue, it is perfectly sufficient, but as soon as you play an action movie or a music concert, you will start thinking about an external audio solution.

The good news is that the television offers both HDMI eARC for connecting modern soundbars and an optical output for older audio systems. For five to eight thousand, you can get a decent soundbar that will elevate the audio experience to a completely different dimension – and honestly, with a 75″ screen, it should be almost mandatory.

Operating System: Google TV

Xiaomi deployed Google TV (Android 11) with the same hardware as last year’s model – four Cortex A55 cores, Mali-G52 MC1 graphics, 2 GB RAM, and 8 GB storage.

Launching applications like Netflix, YouTube, or HBO Max takes the same amount of time as with last year’s model, but the menu scrolls more smoothly, and the response to the remote control is quicker. However, it’s still not ideal – when quickly switching between demanding applications or navigating complex menus, you occasionally encounter slowdowns or brief freezes.

On the other hand, the system offers everything a modern household needs. All popular streaming services work without problems, including Czech platforms like Oneplay or Czech Television’s iVysílání. Installing other applications from Google Play is intuitive, and the offer includes thousands of titles.

Big Upgrade: Finally Apple AirPlay 2!

The biggest functional leap compared to the 2025 model is undoubtedly the support for Apple AirPlay 2. As an owner of an iPhone, iPad, and MacBook, I immediately tested this function and must say that it works absolutely flawlessly.

Sharing vacation photos on the big screen, streaming music from Apple Music, or mirroring the screen from a MacBook – everything is intuitive and without glitches.

Price: from 18,196 CZK

In addition to AirPlay 2, there is also support for Google Cast and Miracast for Android and Windows devices, so no matter what ecosystem you use, the television will work with it.

Gaming Mode: Hardcore gamers will want more

With a PlayStation 5 and several AAA titles, I thoroughly tested the television’s gaming capabilities. The Game Boost mode promises low latency, and the manufacturer even states support for 120 Hz at Full HD resolution.

The reality? Input lag around 15-17 ms is perfectly sufficient for casual gaming. Astro Bot or Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 look impressive on the big screen and can be played without noticeable delay.

However, I was unable to activate the declared 120 Hz with either the PS5 or a gaming PC. It is possible that the function will be made available in future firmware updates, but currently, I wouldn’t rely on it. Support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), a technology that prevents screen tearing during fluctuating frame rates, is also missing.

Price: from 18,196 CZK

For occasional gaming, the television is more than sufficient, but avid gamers should consider more specialized (and more expensive) models.

Price and availability in the Czech Republic

In the Czech market, Xiaomi also sells this television in 43″, 50″, 55″, and 65″ diagonals, at the following prices:

• Xiaomi TV A Pro 43″ 2026 – from 6,890 CZK
• Xiaomi TV A Pro 50″ 2026 – from 8,501 CZK
• Xiaomi TV A Pro 55″ 2026 – from 9,974 CZK
• Xiaomi TV A Pro 65″ 2026 – from 13,589 CZK
• Xiaomi TV A Pro 75″ 2026 – from 18,196 CZK

Conclusion: A large diagonal doesn’t have to mean a large investment

The Xiaomi TV A Pro 2026 in the 75″ version is not a perfect television – but for 19,999 CZK, it is a surprisingly good choice. Compared to last year’s model, it offers improved picture, a snappier system, and most importantly, finally full support for Apple AirPlay 2.

If you have a limited budget but crave a large television with modern features, this is a clear choice. Just factor in at least a basic soundbar right away to give your eyes and ears a balanced experience.
