32" Xiaomi TV A Pro 32 2nd gen

The Xiaomi TV A Pro 32 2nd gen is a compact 32" Smart TV that brings a QLED panel with HD Ready resolution to its category. The quantum dot technology results in a wider range of colours, specifically covering 90% of the DCI-P3 colour space. Smart features and content access are handled by the Google TV operating system, which consolidates offerings from streaming services into a clear interface. Controlling the TV is made easy with the included Bluetooth remote, featuring an integrated microphone for voice commands via Google Assistant. The sound performance is enhanced by Dolby Audio and DTS:X decoders.

Picture and Display Technology

At the heart of the picture is a 32" (81cm) panel with QLED technology, which uses quantum dots to create purer and more saturated colours. This technology contributes to displaying 16.7 million colour shades and covers 90% of the cinematic colour space. As a result, colour reproduction is more vivid and accurate than on standard LED panels. Wide viewing angles of 178° both vertically and horizontally also maintain a consistent picture even when viewed from the side. The panel operates with an HD Ready resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels and a native refresh rate of 60Hz. To enhance the visual experience when watching compatible content, the TV supports high dynamic range standards. Support for HDR10 and HLG formats helps to render details better in both dark and bright parts of a scene simultaneously. The maximum brightness is 270 nits, which is sufficient for viewing in normal lighting conditions.

Eye Protection Technology

To increase viewing comfort during long sessions, the TV incorporates DC dimming technology. This system smoothly regulates the backlight brightness and effectively reduces screen flicker, which can cause eye strain. There is also a special low blue light mode, which reduces emissions from the potentially harmful part of the light spectrum. The combination of these features contributes to a more comfortable viewing experience, especially in the evening.

Sound System

Sound is delivered by a pair of stereo speakers with a total power of 10W. The power is adequate for the size of the TV, providing clear and intelligible sound for dialogue and general sound effects. The Xiaomi Sound tuning automatically adjusts sound profiles according to the content being played, whether it's a film, music, or news. This optimises the listening experience for different use cases without the need for manual adjustment. The TV's software includes support for several modern audio standards. Dolby Audio decoders deliver clean and dynamic sound reproduction, which is standard for film and television content. The presence of DTS:X and DTS Virtual:X technologies expands the audio possibilities. DTS:X works with object-based audio, and DTS Virtual:X creates the impression of surround sound from a two-channel system.

Smart Features and Interface

The Google TV operating system serves as the platform for smart features. Its main advantage is a unified interface that gathers and recommends content from various apps and subscription services like Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, or HBO Max on the home screen. The system offers personalised profiles for each member of the household and access to the Google Play Store, where thousands of other apps and games can be downloaded. Included in the package is a remote control that communicates with the TV via Bluetooth. This means you don't have to point it directly at the TV, and it works from any direction within range. The remote has a dedicated button to activate Google Assistant, which accepts voice commands. You can use your voice to search for films, launch apps, control playback, or ask for information and control compatible smart home devices.

Content Sharing and Internal Hardware

The TV has a built-in Chromecast feature, which simplifies content sharing from mobile devices. Users can wirelessly send videos, photos, music, or their phone, tablet, or computer screen directly to the TV. This sharing works with both Android and iOS. For other screen mirroring options, Miracast protocol support is also available. Smooth operation of the system and apps is handled by a quad-core Quad Cortex A53 processor, supported by a Mali-G31 MP2 graphics chip. The memory configuration includes 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. This storage is used for the operating system and downloaded applications. The hardware setup ensures smooth menu navigation and fast launching of common streaming apps.

Gaming Mode

HDMI 2.0 ports are available for connecting game consoles or a computer. The 60Hz refresh rate panel provides a standard foundation for gaming on consoles like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One. Although the TV does not offer advanced gaming features like VRR or ALLM, its low response time and smooth 60fps picture are sufficient for casual and occasional gaming.

Connectivity

The connector selection covers all basic needs. Two HDMI 2.0 ports are available for connecting picture sources, and one USB 2.0 port for playing multimedia files from external drives or connecting other peripherals. For a wired internet connection, there is a LAN port, and for receiving paid television, a CI+ slot. For wireless network connection, the TV has dual-band Wi-Fi, which supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Using the 5GHz band usually results in a more stable and faster connection, which is ideal for streaming high-quality content. Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows for easy pairing of wireless headphones, soundbars, keyboards, or game controllers without the need for cables.

Design, Mounting, and Energy Consumption

The TV features a minimalist black/grey design with thin bezels that maximise the screen area and won't distract you while watching. The frame around the display is made of metal, which gives the construction strength and a more premium look. The television stands on two separate plastic feet. For those who prefer to mount the TV on the wall, it is compatible with VESA standard mounts with a spacing of 100 × 200mm. The weight of the TV without the stand is 3.1kg, making it easy to handle during installation. In terms of power consumption, the TV falls into energy class E in SDR mode with a consumption of 25kWh per 1,000 hours of operation. When watching content in HDR mode, the consumption increases to 40kWh/1000h, corresponding to energy class G.
