The most fundamental difference here is panel technology. The LG OLED55G5WUA uses an OLED/AMOLED panel, where each pixel generates its own light and can switch off independently, delivering true blacks, theoretically infinite contrast, and exceptional color accuracy. The Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 2026 relies on a Mini-LED backlit LCD panel, which uses thousands of tiny LEDs to approximate per-pixel lighting control — a significant leap over conventional LED LCD, but still subject to some blooming and limited contrast compared to self-emissive OLED. That said, Mini-LED panels can sustain much higher peak brightness, which is an advantage in bright rooms and for HDR highlights that the provided specs do not quantify here.
Screen size and pixel density cut in opposite directions. The Xiaomi's 75″ screen dominates for home theater immersion, but its 59 ppi pixel density is noticeably lower than the LG's 80 ppi at 55.2″ — meaning the LG delivers a sharper image per inch of screen, which matters at closer viewing distances. The Xiaomi also edges ahead on motion handling with a 144Hz refresh rate versus the LG's 120Hz, a meaningful difference for fast-motion content and gaming. On HDR format support, the Xiaomi covers HDR10+ in addition to HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG, while the LG omits HDR10+ — a minor but real gap for content mastered in that format. Both share identical 178° viewing angles, 10-bit color depth, 1.07 billion display colors, anti-reflection coating, and an ambient light sensor.
The verdict depends on what the buyer prioritizes. The LG OLED has a clear edge in contrast and black-level performance thanks to its self-emissive panel and higher pixel density — it is the stronger choice for dark-room cinephiles or users who sit close to the screen. The Xiaomi counters with a much larger screen, a higher 144Hz refresh rate, and broader HDR format coverage including HDR10+, making it the better fit for spacious living rooms, sports, and gaming. Neither is a universal winner; the decision hinges on panel technology versus screen size and refresh rate.
