Would it b able 2 pass Atmos/dts:x using its internal media player 2 avr via arc?

Don't expect Xiaomi to have such advanced audio playing.. many even have difficulties hooking up external audio players using built in HDMI/ARC.. this is a budget TV with many features omitted especially those required licensing cost.

How is the picture quality of the TV 4? Are the Samsung/LG panels used of a few generations behind?
How many secs from power on to "ready to view" mode?

Hunting for a 75", was originally interested in Sony 8500 series 75inch at about 5k, but TV 4 75 is half the price.

Managed to hook Sony sound bar/woofer thru HDMI Arc to my tv. But took a while. But notice that if I switch on my TV box ddr2 before switching on the mi TV. My soundbar will not autoswitch on and also produce no sound.

Not sure why, maybe the TV recognise the tv box connected thru HDMI as a speaker instead.

There are complaints that Xiaomi TV's HDMI/ARC does not work mainly because only one HDMI has ARC (Think it is HDMI1 or HDMI3) that will work. then there are also complaints that the setting does not stick i.e one would have to set the setting every time turning on the TV. Some suggested that one should leave other HDMI empty and not connected. many gave up and use SPDIF instead. Not sure if Xiaomi has this improved

Don’t need to redo settings for me which sticks, even though it took me a while to set it up. But once I installed the free DDR2 TV box, it jams up my sound bar/woofer if I switch it on before I switch on the TV.

The workaround is to switch on the TV box after the TV is switched on and switch off tv box before shutting TV down. Took me a while to troubleshoot as I thought problem lies with Soundbar.

Most TVs only have one HDMI port with the ARC function. Even $10000 TVs.. nothing special.

The sound bar connection problem also happened in other TV brands; may not be totally due to Xiaomi design as there are different version of sound connection and many are confused and does not know how to connect and activate the function..

I just saw Q10 side the TV is able to drop the price for about $100 for spending over $800 on Q10 side, just bought a XiaoMi TV 4 over there.

Those who want to get it, this might be a good time for you to buy one home.

Just ship a 4A 55" via 888ocean, expect to reach by mid October. For TV 0.31cbm added some other stuff to make it to between 0.4-0.5 cbm at $59 for the free delivery.But remember to have the TV crate.

HDMI ARC is not quite perfect; afterall, it is a recent technology still under development. Presently, the proper working will depend on whether the TV or the source are able to decipher the sound information send by the content provider and transmit the signal properly to the amplifiers or sound boxes.

Those who wanted to know about how to connect their amplifiers or sound boxes to Xiaomi TV4 can consult this ariticle. Think this is applicable also for other models such 4A,C,S or X
