In summary

Mi (now sold as Xiaomi) suits budget-first buyers, and LG suits picture-quality-first buyers. Pick Mi for a low entry price and a wide app range; pick LG for its sharper display technology and audio.


  • Mi (Xiaomi) televisions run from about Rs. 9,999 for a 32-inch set to roughly Rs. 1,25,000 for a top 75-inch model.
  • LG televisions run from about Rs. 20,000 for a 32-inch set to Rs. 2,19,890 and above for a 65-inch organic light-emitting diode (OLED) model.
  • Mi runs Google TV or PatchWall; LG runs its own webOS software.
  • LG offers OLED and Mini LED panels; Mi focuses on LED and QLED.

You can convert the cost into Easy EMIs using Bajaj Finance's financing options at 1.5 lakh+ partner stores such as Reliance Digital, Croma, Vijay Sales, and more.

How do Mi and LG smart TVs compare?

Mi and LG take opposite routes to the same living room. Mi (Xiaomi) builds low-priced sets with a big app range and a clean, simple interface, which is why budget-conscious buyers pick them.


LG spends its budget on the screen and speakers instead. Its televisions use advanced display technology — including OLED panels, where each pixel makes its own light for true blacks — plus stronger built-in sound. That suits buyers chasing a more premium picture.


Both run on the Android television and Google TV platform for Mi and webOS for LG, so app access is strong on either. The real gap is price versus picture depth, not features on paper.


Once you have made your choice, you can bring home your preferred model without draining your savings. Visit any of Bajaj Finance's 1.5 lakh partner stores — like Vijay Sales, Croma, Reliance Digital, and more — across 4,000 cities, including Tier 2 cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal. Choose your preferred Mi or LG television model, then use any of Bajaj Finance's financing options — the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card and the Bajaj Finance Easy EMI Loan— to make your purchase. Convert the cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget, and enjoy zero down payment on select models so you can take it home without any upfront payment. 


You can also check your loan eligibility online in minutes, so you know exactly what you can get before you step into the store.

What are the standout features of Mi and LG smart TVs?

Mi and LG each do something the other does not — picking the right one depends on which column matters more to you.

A trade-off worth knowing before you buy

A cheaper Mi set saves money today, but its LED panel cannot match an LG OLED for deep blacks in a dark room. If you mostly watch in daylight or want the lowest price, that gap may not matter to you — and the Mi saving is real. If you watch films at night and want cinema-style contrast, the extra spend on LG earns its keep.

Mi vs LG Smart TV— Key specs compared

The single biggest difference between the two brands is the display technology- Mi uses QLED or LED backlighting, while LG's OLED panels make each pixel produce its own light for true, deep blacks.

Which is better- Mi or LG Smart TV?

LG is better if picture quality leads your decision; Mi is better if price does. Here is why each wins in its lane:


  • Panel technology: LG's OLED displays light each pixel independently, producing blacks that LED and QLED panels — used across the Mi range — cannot match.
  • Entry price: Mi starts at Rs. 9,999 (Redmi Fire TV 32-inch); LG's lowest model sits at around Rs. 20,000 — a gap of roughly Rs. 10,000 at the floor.
  • High dynamic range support: Mi's X Pro 2026 series carries both Dolby Vision and HDR10+. LG's OLED models add Dolby Vision IQ, which adjusts the image to the light in your room automatically.
  • Refresh rate: Both brands go up to 120 Hz on mid-range sets. LG stretches to 165 Hz on select gaming models.
  • Software: Mi runs Google TV with PatchWall and universal search across 30+ content partners; LG runs webOS 25 with 150+ free live channels via LG Channels.

For most buyers comparing Mi smart TV and LG smart TV options, the Mi vs LG TV comparison comes down to this. Choose Mi to save money without losing smart features, choose LG to get the best screen your budget allows.

How does Mi TV picture quality compare to LG?

LG OLED panels produce true black because each of their 8.3 million pixels makes its own light, while Mi LED and QLED panels use 

a backlit screen — a fundamental difference that shapes everything below.


SpecMi Smart TVLG Smart TV
Panel typeLED / QLED / QD-Mini LED (S Mini LED 2026 series)LED / NanoCell / QNED Mini LED / OLED (C6, G6 series)
Resolution4K Ultra HD (3,840 × 2,160 pixels) on most models4K Ultra HD (3,840 × 2,160 pixels) on most models
High dynamic range formatDolby Vision and HDR10+ on X Pro 2026; HDR10 on standard modelsDolby Vision IQ and HDR10 Pro on OLED; HDR10 on LED models
Peak brightnessUp to 1,200 nits (S Mini LED 2026, verified)Up to 1,438 nits peak HDR (LG OLED C6, Filmmaker mode, verified)
Refresh rateUp to 120 Hz (X Pro 2026 and S Mini LED series)Up to 120 Hz on UA8200; up to 165 Hz on select OLED gaming models

Pro tip- Mi LED panels handle well-lit rooms well and cost less. LG OLED panels excel in dark-room viewing — their self-lit pixels reach near-zero black levels (≤0.24 nits, UL-verified), which backlit panels cannot replicate. If you watch mostly in daylight, that OLED advantage narrows considerably.

Pro tip- Get the best value on your Mi or LG smart TV


Screen size looks like the biggest price driver, but display technology is the real one. A 55-inch LG OLED evo C6 costs Rs. 1,40,490 — nearly four times the price of a 55-inch Xiaomi FX Pro QLED at Rs. 36,999, despite being the same screen size. What you are paying for is the panel type, not the inches.


If an OLED or premium Mini LED model is your target but the upfront price feels steep, a longer repayment tenure on the Bajaj Finance Easy EMI Loan can close that gap. A Rs. 99,999 Xiaomi TV S Mini LED 2026 spread over 24 months works out to roughly Rs. 4,167 per month — less than many people spend on a streaming subscription stack each month.

What are my financing options to buy a smart TV?

Bajaj Finance offers two ways to convert your smart TV purchase into affordable monthly payments. Both options are available at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities in India.


OptionLimitKey features
Bajaj Finance Insta EMI CardPre-approved card limit up to Rs. 3 lakhZero annual fee; 3 months to 60 months tenure; works at 1.5 lakh partner outlets; 1 million+ eligible products
Bajaj Finance Easy EMI LoanLoan limit up to Rs. 5 lakhQuick loan approval; 3 months to 60 months tenure; basic KYC documents needed; ideal for higher-value purchases

How to choose? Both options require you to be physically present at a partner store. The Insta EMI Card suits shoppers who want to buy across categories over time. The Easy EMI Loan suits a single higher-value purchase — for example, a premium LG OLED television.

 

A real-world example of how this works

Arjun, a 29-year-old first-time buyer in Bengaluru, wants his first 4K television. He chooses the LG UA8200 55-inch 4K model at Rs. 41,990 and opts for a 12-month Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card at Croma, Bengaluru — the card suits him because he plans to buy a soundbar later on the same limit. His monthly EMI works out to approximately Rs. 3,499. 

How do I buy a smart TV on EMI at a Bajaj Finance partner store?

Upgrading to a new television is simple and affordable with Bajaj Finance's in-store financing options. The whole process usually takes just 10–15 minutes. Follow these steps:

Frequently asked questions

General

Buying and financing

What are the main differences between Mi and LG Smart TVs?

Mi smart TVs use LED or QLED panels and run on Google TV with PatchWall, starting from Rs. 9,999. LG smart TVs use LED, NanoCell, or OLED panels and run on webOS, starting from around Rs. 20,000. The core difference is display technology — LG's OLED panels produce true black using self-lit pixels, while Mi panels use backlighting. Mi wins on price; LG wins on picture depth.

LG has a wider and more established service network across India, with centres in metros and most Tier 2 cities. Mi (Xiaomi) offers good service in urban areas, but its reach can be thinner in smaller towns. If reliable post-purchase support close to home matters to you — especially outside major cities — LG has the stronger track record in India.

LG leads on picture quality, primarily because its OLED panels light each pixel independently, reaching near-zero black levels (≤0.24 nits, verified by UL). Mi's best sets — like the S Mini LED 2026 — reach up to 1,200 nits peak brightness with strong QLED colour, which is competitive. But in a dark room, LG OLED's contrast advantage is visible and consistent across all content types.

LG edges ahead for gaming. Its OLED models support up to 165 Hz refresh rate, 0.1 ms response time, NVIDIA G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync Premium — all verified on the C6 series. Mi's X Pro 2026 series supports 120 Hz and Auto Low Latency Mode, which handles most gaming well. If you own a high-end console and want the fastest, smoothest response, LG OLED is the stronger choice.

Both are strong, but in different ways. Mi runs Google TV with PatchWall, giving you universal search across 30+ content partners, 300+ free live channels without a set-top box, and Google Assistant built in. LG runs webOS 25 with 150+ free LG Channels, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini integration, and personalised content suggestions. Mi suits heavy streamers; LG suits users who want a smarter, more intuitive daily interface.
