  • Mi QLED TV 4K With Dolby Vision Launched in India, Priced at Rs. 54,999

    Xiaomi Mi QLED TV 4K with a 55-inch QLED Ultra-HD screen was launched in India on Wednesday, priced at Rs. 54,999. The Android TV and PatchWall-powered Mi QLED TV 4K is the company’s first QLED TV in India, and is also its most premium television series yet, offering a step up over the existing LED TV range. The new television has a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels, and is available in only a single 55-inch size option, with support for HDR up to the Dolby Vision format.


    Priced at Rs. 54,999, the Mi QLED TV 4K is the most expensive 55-inch television currently on offer from Xiaomi in India. Available in only a single 55-inch size option for now, the Mi QLED TV 4K goes up against QLED TV options from brands such as OnePlus and TCL, which are similarly priced at around or under the Rs. 60,000 mark. At this price, Xiaomi is offering similar specifications and features at a similar or lower price to options such as the OnePlus TV Q1 and TCL 55C715 (Review).

    The Mi QLED TV 4K will go on sale in India on December 21, at 12pm (noon) IST, via Flipkart, Mi.com, Mi Home stores, and other retail stores including Vijay Sales.

  • You can now watch YouTube livestreams in HDR

    YouTube rolled out HDR support back in 2016, but it was only limited to pre-recorded content. Now the company has expanded HDR support to livestreams as well, enabling “vibrant experiences in real-time”.

    HDR, or High Dynamic Range, offers a wider range for your content and lets screens that support it display darker shadows and brighter highlights. If you are a creator and want to stream live in HDR, you’ll need to use the encoders listed here.

    Viewers, on the other hand, will need compatible devices to watch live streams in HDR, like the YouTube app on HDR TVs, Android devices with an HDR display, Chromecast Ultra, and Windows and Mac PCs with an HDR display and HDR graphics support.

    If your device doesn’t support HDR, you won’t see the HDR option in the video quality settings menu, but you’ll still be able to watch the video in SDR
