If you see the 360Hz headline on the new S Pro 2027 and start thinking about a console or a PC in the living room, read the second paragraph first. Xiaomi says 360Hz can only be activated in competitive mode, and in 4K the panel sits at 120Hz with MEMC. That is not a scandal, everything hitting these numbers drops resolution to get there, but the marketing does not lead with it and somebody here is going to buy one expecting 4K360.
The rest of the sheet is genuinely aggressive. Four models at 65, 75, 85 and 98 inches, up to 4,860 zones on the top one against 3,864 on last year's, 5,000 nits peak claimed, 100 percent BT.2020, and because these are RGB mini LED the zones adjust colour balance rather than only brightness. Four HDMI 2.1, VRR and FreeSync Premium Pro, a quad-core A73 with Xiaomi's XM900 image chip, 4GB of RAM, and a 130W 2.1.2 speaker array.
No pricing yet, which is the whole story for anyone outside China, and the full launch is September in China with a separate Supreme line still unannounced. Zone counts and nit ratings pulled from a Chinese launch deck are also the least reliable numbers in this hobby until somebody puts a meter on one.
The jump from 3,864 to 4,860 zones is about 25 percent more dimming resolution. On a 98-inch screen in a dark room, does anyone here think you would actually see that, or is the RGB colour control the part doing the real work?
