In practice, the S55 and S65 share most core specifications, with the primary variances centered on screen size and price. The S55 arrives with a 55-inch panel, while the S65 upgrades to a 65-inch canvas. This difference naturally influences the perceived brightness, viewing distance, and overall immersion of the home theater setup. The configuration also contrasts in local dimming zones, boasting 392 zones on the S55 and 308 zones on the S65, a nuance that some home cinema enthusiasts will weigh when considering contrast performance and black level stability. Both models deliver 4K resolution, peak brightness up to 1200 nits, and an impressive DCI-P3 color coverage. Delta E values around 22 indicate noticeable but controllable color accuracy for most content, with a strong emphasis on cinematic color reproduction. (Source: Xiaomi official release)
The processing backbone combines a quad-core A73 CPU with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory, ensuring smooth everyday performance and adequate headroom for apps and gaming. Running on Xiaomi’s HyperOS, these TVs aim to present a clean, responsive interface that integrates seamlessly with popular streaming services and smart home ecosystems. The presence of eye protection features is aligned with contemporary display best practices, while support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos suggests a focus on a complete audiovisual experience that goes beyond standard HDR and audio effects.

Importantly, Wi-Fi 7 support is announced, signaling readiness for faster wireless streaming and reduced latency in future network environments. These features collectively position the S55 and S65 as versatile hubs for entertainment, gaming, and multimedia consumption in Canadian and American homes. (Source: Xiaomi official release)
