If you are gearing up to spend your December holidays playing all the games you bought this year, then you need to check out the Black Friday deals Xiaomi has in store for you. With incredible savings on their hottest TVs, from Mini LED to QLED there is something to suit every budget if you are in the market to buy a new smart TV to game on.
In my opinion, the Xiaomi S 65-inch Mini LED 4K Smart TV is the highlight of the range. It’s the one you put in your living room when you want people to go: wow, when is movie night at your place?
The reason for this is because it’s built on Mini LED technology, which features smaller, more precise backlight zones that push brightness, contrast, and HDR performance far beyond what traditional LED sets can achieve. If you pair that with HDR10+ support, you get highlight control that preserves specular detail in the picture, instead of blooming, which can ruin any scene. This TV’s motion handling is also noteworthy. It supports a 144Hz refresh rate, and 240Hz Game Boost mode – perfect for gamers running current-gen consoles or PCs capable of high-frame-rate output. Fast in-game action on screen looks clean, not smeared, and latency is low enough to make competitive titles feel responsive. There’s even Dolby Atmos support to round out the feature set, allowing soundbars and AV receivers to take full advantage of the intricate audio in the games you play or the new movies you enjoy.
At only R11,999 (R14,999) this Black Friday and festive season, the Xiaomi S 65-inch lands in that sweet spot between premium performance and sensible spend. Indeed, it’s a flagship experience without the flagship premium. This really is the TV for households that treat game nights, movie marathons, and streaming premieres as shared events, not an entertainment afterthought.
The Xiaomi A Pro 55-inch QLED 4K Smart TV fills a different role in the lineup, and that’s by design. QLED panels deliver strong colour volume and excellent brightness efficiency, which makes this set a great fit for bright lounges or multi-purpose rooms. This TV features HDR10+ support, which gives streaming content the dynamic range it needs to avoid looking flat and dull, while Google TV handles the interface side with the kind of polish and app support consumers now expect on every device they use. And when it’s time to game, 120Hz Game Boost Mode adds extra smoothness for more responsive play. At R5,999 (R7,999), it’s aggressively priced for a QLED panel of this size. This TV is ideal for families who want crisp 4K, vibrant colour, and fast access to all the major streaming services without stepping into the premium price bracket.
Both of these TVs tie neatly into Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem too. Google TV acts as the content hub, but the value is in how everything around it connects: casting from your smartphone, controlling the lights through a Xiaomi smart hub, linking speakers, syncing devices, and building a home setup that behaves as one system rather than a collection of mismatched gadgets.
These deals and more are live on Takealot until 31st December. The only question that remains is, how will you choose to game on our new Xiaomi TV? Are you hooking up a console, plugging in your gaming rig, or are you streaming games via Netflix, GeForce Now or Steam Link?
