Constant technology evolutions have powered smart TV makers to experiment with new advancements and launch more innovative versions of their preceding models. As more and more brands and OEMs join the smart TV universe, users have a wider pool of options to choose from. However, the very reason also makes it difficult for them to decide what’s best among the available options. Although today’s new-age consumers are highly tech-savvy and always look for the latest features and upgrades, the price of the device remains one of the major deciding factors when it comes to buying a smart TV.
The competition is tough because all players in the market are striving to manufacture the best smart TVs at the most affordable prices. Leading the smart TV charts are iFFALCON from the house of TCL and MI, the two top brands that are well-known for redefining consumer entertainment levels with their premium and highly affordable smart TV offerings. Let’s find out who’s the winner through a quick analogy between the QLED TV models of MI and iFFALCON
55H71 vs 55MQ1
Display
In terms of display, both the brands are offering Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ on their QLED models. MI sports fluid display and vivid picture engine, while iFFALCON offers 4K UHD and is backed by an IPQ engine, designed to deliver superior quality viewing experiences. To be honest, it is a tad difficult to identify which one of these rules when it comes to the display part. So, it’s a tie between both brands. Now let’s explore other features.
Audio
The MI TV supports Dolby Audio and comes equipped with DTS-HD Audio, while the iFFALCON model offers Dolby Atmos and DTS HD, making it a winner in terms of audio quality. Here, it is important to understand that Dolby Audio is a basic version while Dolby Atmos is a much-advanced version that enables users to consume content with superior and true-to-life surround sound experience as if the sound is coming from all around. So, iFFALCON clearly beats MI in the audio round, making the score 1-0.
Interconnectivity
There is no doubt that MI offers unmatched features when it comes to video viewing, but it is outshined by iFFALCON when speaking of smart interconnectivity features, giving the latter another lead in the race. The AI-IN feature of the TV makes it smarter than its rival, especially in terms of content search and discovery, setting reminders, and most importantly, allowing you to connect other smart home devices with your TV and enjoy better control of all the devices through the TV itself.
Hands-free Voice Control
iFFALCON features hands-free voice control that allows users to control the TV using simple voice commands without using remote controller. In short, you can literally speak to your TV and it will listen to you and play your favorite content or app as per requirement. This ensures enhanced convenience as you don’t have to press any buttons. MI, on the other hand, comes with a smart voice feature where you have to first activate the Google Assistant by pressing the dedicated button on the remote and then use it as a mic to give commands to the TV. So, this another element where iFFALCON proves superior to MI.
Other Features
The regional language offering is another key element that iFFALCON comes up with to cater well to Indian audiences, especially the non-English speakers. Through this feature, users can view content in 10 different languages without worrying about subtitles. MI although offers a high-quality PatchWall for seamless navigation, it lacks the local content offering element, which makes iFFALCON a winner once again. TCL-Channel has more hours of Content compared to MI.
Price
Both the TVs are available at exciting prices, however, iFFALCON still leads the game. While it starts at INR 54,999, MI is priced at INR 56,999.
Going through the aforementioned comparison makes it very clear that iFFALCON is the winner and why. Still, confused? Read the analogy once again! iFFALCON is available on Flipkart.
