Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 55 2026

The Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 55 is a 2026 model that combines a Mini LED backlight, a 120 Hz refresh rate and Dolby Audio with DTS:X sound in a 55-inch size that suits most living rooms, condo dens and larger bedrooms. It’s the more compact of our two Xiaomi TV S Mini LED models, priced at $899.99 CAD.

What Mini LED brings to the Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 55

Most TVs are LCD panels lit from behind by LEDs. A Mini LED TV replaces a modest number of standard LEDs with a far larger number of much smaller ones. In general terms, more and smaller light sources give a TV finer control over which parts of the screen are bright and which stay dark. That can mean punchier highlights, deeper-looking blacks and less of the halo that sometimes appears around bright objects on a dark background.

Results depend on each set’s design, so check the full specification sheet for picture details beyond the backlight.

120 Hz: smoother gaming and hockey nights

Refresh rate is how many times per second the picture updates. At 120 Hz, this TV can refresh twice as often as a standard 60 Hz screen, which pays off in two places:

• Sports. On NHL nights, quick passes and fast camera pans tend to look cleaner, with less blur as the play moves up the ice.
• Gaming. Many current consoles and gaming PCs can output up to 120 frames per second in supported games. To get there, you need a compatible game, device and cable, plus the right TV input, so check the specification sheet for which inputs to use.

Dolby Audio and DTS:X

The TV lists both Dolby Audio and DTS:X sound. Dolby Audio is a family of Dolby technologies used across TVs and streaming, while DTS:X is an object-based format, meaning the soundtrack describes where each sound should come from rather than locking it to fixed channels. For room-filling sound on movie nights, a soundbar is a worthwhile add-on.

55 or 65 inches? Size up your room

Both Xiaomi TV S Mini LED models share the same listed features, so the choice comes down to screen size, budget and seating distance. A popular rule of thumb is to sit 1.2 to 1.6 times the screen’s diagonal away. For a 55-inch screen, that’s roughly 1.7 to 2.2 metres (about 5.5 to 7.3 feet).

If your couch sits farther back than that, consider the Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 65, which costs $250 more. Our guide on how to choose the right TV size goes through the maths, and you can compare every model in our TV collection.

Check your space before ordering

• Wall or stand space: compare the width and height on the specification sheet with your wall or media unit, and make sure the unit is wide and deep enough for the TV’s stand.
• Wall mounting: confirm the mounting pattern and weight on the specification sheet, and use a mount rated for it, secured into studs.
• Delivery route: the box is bigger than the TV, so measure doorways, stairwells and condo elevators.
• Power: check the electrical requirements on the specification sheet and plan for an outlet close by.
