Xiaomi unveils a Tv that's 30% thinner than the iPhone at the CES 2017


Xiaomi has just announced its new television set, the Mi TV 4 at the CES. The TV measures just 4.9mm at its thinnest point and features a frameless design which allows for an essentially edgeless display. The Tv is also claimed to be 37 percent thinner than the Mi MIX and 30 percent thinner than the iPhone 7.

It's a 4K TV, which comes in 49, 55, and 65-inch variants, and Xiaomi is stressing that the television is modular, allowing users to swap out motherboard and other internals when they want to upgrade. In addition, the Mi TV 4 features Xiaomi’s “Patch Wall” software, which is said to be an AI system that can predict content based on what you’ve watched already.

The new Mi TV 4 will come bundled with Mi TV Bar which integrates 10 speakers, 2 wireless rear satellite speakers, and a subwoofer. The company also introduced Mi Port, which is a single cable that will connect the Mi TV Bar to the display and will carry all signals to and from the display for a clearer look.

The Mi TV 4 also ships with an independent home theater system that supports Dolby Atmos surround sound technology that lets you hear sound in 3D. That means you can hear a helicopter overhead or a person approaching from behind, just as you would in real life, instead of from the bottom of your TV where your speakers are.

The company has confirmed that the 65 inch Xiaomi Mi TV 4 will ship later this year in China for “well under” $2,000. Xiaomi will also sell the TV without the home theater system for, again, “well under” $1,500. Cheaper 55 inch and 49 inch models will be available as well. The company is yet to confirm if and when the Mi TV 4 will make it to the United States.
