The Mi 5X is one of the best looking LED TVs in its price segment. The metallic finish frame around the display and the minimal stands makes this TV ideal to seamlessly suit any kind of home decor you have. 

The fit and finish of the construction is top notch, as expected from a premium 4K TV priced under Rs.50,000.

The I/O ports are located on the sides for easy and quick access. This TV comes with three HDMI 2.1 ports and 2 USB ports along with the standard AV inputs, optical port and RJ-45 LAN port.
